Bill, I love the exhaust note. I don't remember the hood turn signals working with the lights on besides the turn signals. The interviewer was a real squirrel. Can you tell us more where the car came from, when you purchased it etc.

Which reminds me...
The VIN says T0D which is the base 350hp, exactly the same as my vert. My air cleaner was plain crinkle black, nothing on the pie plate at all. My car is a Fury III so maybe the SF got a fancy pie plate.
Yes, the SFGT got the fancy pie plate...............................
Very nice car and amazing that it is all original, not restored!

but from what l understand there was no super commando in 70....link to info plz
Beautiful car Billy!!!
I don't have a particular link. But the 440 (T code) was only standard in the GT model, but available as an option in other Fury models (V code optional only in the GT) and the U code engine was not available generally in 1970 in the Plymouth Fury line. The T code engine being standard in the GT was unique enough apparently in the Plymouth line in 1970 to command the Super Commando pie plate (but any 440 engine in a Fury was called the Super Commando in the factory dealership brochure but seemingly didn't get the pie plate unless it was a GT). My 1970 SFGT also is all original, but not in good shape like this one, and also has that pie plate. And my car has not been messed with at all either in any way (except by the Nevada sun!) and is a pretty low miles car too.
To further confuse things, my 1970 Sport Fury Brougham (non GT - non S23, recently sold) had the optional 383-4 bbl engine with the standard dual snorkle air cleaner and it too was called a Super Commando engine in the dealership brochure. And it did not get the Super Commando pie plate either, since it was not a GT, apparently.
IMO, the product planners got things right in 1971 with their model names and use of the U code engine rather than the T code in a GT as standard and the use of the Super Commando name and pie plate made more sense.

But the U code was available in Fleet order cars for the 70 Fury. So it is possible to find a 70 Fury with a U code.
I'm certain members here have them

Thu Super Commando moniker was given to any 1970 Plymouth C body 383 or 440 4 or 6 bbl.

Yuse guyz are messing with my head.
This is the way I understood it.
U code = 4bbl. Period. Regardless of cu. in.
V code = 6bbl. Period. Regardless of cu. in.
Had there been an 383 6bbl, it would have been a V code.
Yes? No?

two exceptions: Fury Police cars could have been had with the E86 U-code engine.
And I have a documented 1970 Fury III in switzerland which is a U-code E86 car buillt for export.
