NOT MINE NOT MINE 66 Fury III 2dr, bright red, 383 4-speed $36,995

[fury fan]

I noticed this due to the completely out-of-touch price, and looked further to see if a factory 4-speed.
For sale at a classic car broker, of course.

Give me 1/2 hr with it and I'll find stuff that makes it worth 1/2 the price.

There are more pics but are just of same things from different angles. Anyone wanting to harvest can find them here:

I didn't find a good 66 C-body decode, but found this on Source Guide"

Would they have used C1 for a 3-speed on a B-body but for 4-speed on a C-body? Seems unlikely.
The note 'you will only find this on a 318 car, no other' is anecdotal to Charger, so may not mean anythign here.
The vehicle VIN is PH23G66144787, and in 65-66 G typically means 383-2 barrel.
So methinks the AB for 383-4 does not apply either.

Any experts that can help?

I'm not an odometer expert either, but these don't seem fully aligned like I'd expect on a sub-100k odometer.

My biggest problem is that it doesn't have the 4 spd hump.
That scares me.

You need that long?

Good eye, I missed that - looks like it has this type hiding under there:

I noticed:
red overspray on the windlace,
crappy trunk weatherstrip,
tear in the back seat (seller did show a closeup of it, at least)
winkles on doorpanels and cracked armrest,
VIN plate, door strikers, doorjamb pin switches have all been painted over,
unused choke cable bracket under dash,
rear quarterpanel pinchweld at the bottom looks like it has 3 layers in it (poor repair?),
crappy mild-steel exhaust (and general neglected condition of the entire undercarriage)

Overall not perfumed pig per se, but too many flaws for the $37k asking price.
I have a hard time picturing any 66 Fury being worth / selling for $37k.
IMO would require a truly-perfect, fresh paint/fresh interior, ~30k-mile 440 4-speed Sport Fury (or VIP) in turbine bronze (or some other good color) and good documentation.
And even somethign like that I don't think would pull more than $25-28k at best.

How about the hacked up floor to make the shift linkage fit?

Custom exhaust driver side header pipe modified by Mr. Ballpeen I see.
In another photo it looks like the pipe is riding right on the torsion bar.

The overspray and paint job is just the Git'er Done assmonkey garage lackey 'we gotta make money on this one' attitude that we see all so much of.
I'm supprised I didn't see this one in my recent eekBay Fury search, but I have a tendency to blow over these years and especially the 'Classic Car' seller accounts.

Oh and gas tank looks like it leaked at one time, patchy patchy patchy... would need a look'in at.

The dirt on the bottom floorboards doesn’t match the dirt and undercoat around the hump.

Just drop the damn thing off here on the way to Ft. Lauderdale and be done with it.

To me, it's a nice $10K ride. The things that are wrong cosmetically and aesthetically can be fixed quite easily. The jinky exhaust installation and those big megaphones would go in favor of a fore-to-aft pro installation of a far more correct exhaust. Note that big mud-dauber wasp nest next to the right frame rail, near the RH muffler!

The wheels and the wood '60s aftermarket wheel and Moon tach don't bother me at all.

A three-speed manual trans was standard fare on all Plymouth C-bodies for the '66 MY. The auto and the 4-spped were both options. The statement in the decode is pure nonsense concerning the 3-speed manual being only on 318 cars. And whether 3-speed or 4-speed, the shift tunnel is the same part.

At least a GM fanboi did not paint the inner fenders and firewall black!
