I have requested a picture of the fender tag from Dodge Stokes, the current owner. I can hear the naysayers now, but from my discussions with him, I have no reason to doubt him, and really, who would go to the lengths and financial expense to create a fake Fury lll four speed with AC car??

This one is worth keeping in as original condition as possible.

@Joeychgo and @Toolmanmike - I don't know if comments are disabled in these type of for sale threads, but if at all possible, this car is worthy of discussion, and perhaps we could allow comments on this thread - with the hope from me that we all keep things civil and respectful, whatever our opinions may be!

"Hemi grind" in a 383....
Ok.
Direct Connection/Mopar Perf "Purple Shaft" version with 280 duration and .474 lift. They were a pretty popular cam and would work well with the 383.

IIRC, the first versions matched the Street Hemi spec and got revised a couple times with a bit less duration. Of course, they won't work with the Hemi because the intake and exhaust lobes aren't in the same spot as the wedge.
 
Reminds me of back in the day all the Chevy guys would boast about their "3/4 race" cam. 3/4's of what?
 
It was just a way of saying that it was a hot cam but not a "full race" cam and was suited for the street. The term was used pretty much by everyone and not just a Chevy thing.
 
This car was more realistic when it was for sale for ~12k or so by the prior seller a few years ago.
It had the same peeling paint and worn/incorrect seats back then.

Seeing the cracked/peeling dashpad, multi-cracked steering wheel, the warped doorpanel corner, the windlace that's pulling apart at the doorjamb - makes me wonder about the other areas not shown.
I'm betting one would be disappointed at paying $19k for it.

These 2 would be far better choices to buy for the same ballpark, unless one simply must have a 4-speed 4-door.
And if you do, Murray Park at one time had a 65 300 4dr 4speed he might sell and might also be a better deal.

You take me too seriously.
I was being facetious or sarcastic. Pick one.

Probably 40 years ago at least, I had a buddy that worked in a Speed Shop (remember them?) and he used to keep an old cam we broke into two pieces under the counter and when someone asked for a 3/4 cam, that got tossed on the counter.
 
Thanks for the correction. I will use my newly-corrected AMC knowledge whenever applicable.
Actually, it's been so long since needing AMC info, that's why I don't remember it correctly.
 
New relisting I take it
