Never thought I’d see that I’d dream of owning a Plymouth while lamenting that it’s more expensive than a Rolls of the same year.
That, and my preference for the Fury’s lines where the roof meets the quarter panels, makes it my choice by a small margin.
Got my license in 1970. Dad bought a 'leftover' 70 Sport Fury 2 door (not GT) in bronze with black vinyl roof and interior. Loved that car, even with its 318 motor. That got me into fuselage cars. I now have a console equipped 300 Hurst with tilt-telescopic-rim-blow wheel, AM-FM, and all the usual power options with A/C. Chrysler is much fancier than the Plymouth, especially on the inside. Love that leather and the TNT 440, but if I happened upon a GT I would try to get it. Rarely see either for sale anymore, it seems.
Looks like a hot dogNo lowly Plymouth's for me, 300-H all the way!
@Trace 300 Hurst, if this is "dream car" thread then I'll take one of these:

I never was a big fan of the Hurst 300 so would go with the Fury. just never saw too many of them in great condition. I am sure they are out there but have hidden from me over the years. You see those Hurst 300 cars all the time. I passed up many of them when buying other classic cars over the years. They used to be a dime a dozen but now are pricing too high in my opinion
Wait, what? Is that the elusive Newport 440? U code no less?
The elusive "Newport 440" package would be a T-code. The U-code TNT 440 could be ordered on any Chrysler except wagons & Imperial.
I saved it nick of time last year as the previous owner was about 80% the way to yanking the drivetrain from it.and 100
i know, and he's helped me with others who know i am looking, @Samplingman knows I am looking for '70 "T" code (as @67valiant 100 correctly points out), with A67 package, called "Newport 440".
Been looking for 25 years (off and on .. now I'm old and sun getting low in the sky, so to speak.
I'd prefer a coupe, but would look at any sedan that turned up. They added a T code option to Newp in '71 where '70 only (oddly) they offered the 'T" in Newp.
darndest unicorn still on my list -- i assume as a mid-MY option (they wanted a 440 "regular" in Newp size/price class cuz GM put 455 in Lesabre that year) so not many even made, and U code Newps might be higher on organ donor lists to extrnt any remained.
Reminder if anyone who sees one but doesnt buy it, shoot me a PM please? Would i look at a '70 (or any MY, fusie) "U" code Newp? Sure, if not too big a project.
Anyway, I think, however, this car below is gone? Yes?
