Here is my story. In the spring of 1967 my parents bought a new 67 Fury III 4 door. We were the typical 1960s family with 4 kids and my dad was an original Southern California car nut and hot rodder that had become a Plymouth fan since buying a new Fury in 1959. Our 67 Fury III was our 3rd Fury and it was white with blue interior, 383 4bbl, 727, AC, AM/FM stereo and cruise control, the same color combo and powertrain as our 64, which was traded in for the 67. My parents used all three to tow a trailer and it served us well, taking us virtually everywhere in the western US on vacations over the years. I even learned to drive in it when I got my permit in 1973. However, I recall that even as a kid I immediately thought my parents bought a year too early when the 68s came out. I like the tail lights on the 68 way better than the 67 and I absolutely love the 68 side marker lights. 1968 was the first year for side marker lights and to me there is nothing cooler than the little round 68 side marker lights. So, fast-forward to the early 2000s and I am itching for a Mopar convertible, but can't afford an A, B or E body. That's OK, 'cause I like C bodies, too, so I am hunting for a nice one to get my fix. Beggars can't be choosers and after 30 plus years we take what we can get, and it just so happened that I found a 68 Sport Fury that really floats my boat, so to speak. I picked it up in June of 2004 in Detroit, and my brother and I drove it home to California, making a nice road trip out of it. My cars are driven and I truly love having it.
