Interesting story. Very cool car even without the story behind it.

I'm glad it's going to be restored. Love the skirts! Helps it blend in...

Cool story and I'm sure it "hauls" LOL

Did Mopar use their own transmission behind the 426W?

Toolmanmike · Apr 21, 2022

Automatic yes. In the early 60's the 833 4 speed wasn't on the market yet and they used some Borg Warner 4 speeds. They didn't hold up well with the high horsepower wedges. That was 62 and 63 if I remember correctly. In 65 a 833 would be the correct transmission.

Wonder if the owner is on the forums here? If not he should be. Very unusual car to say the least! Probably one of one or very few 4 dr 426 4 speed cars. Anyone here ever seen another?

Very cool!

Cool story, cool car! 6 months, it will be a BJ going for 125,000.

I remember there was a 66? Fury wagon with a factory big block and a four speed, anyone know what happened to that?

This one has been here before, I think I posted it up in the Mopar Related Image thread as the previous AD didn't have a lot of pictures and I believe it was before the Whiskey decals/paint appeared on it so it looks like someone snatched it up.
I searched for it and just recently posted in the thread but I didn't have time to browse through all the thread. I'm sure it's around here somewhere in the past years postings.

Awesome car and crazy rare with that 4 speed. If only we could get rid of those two extra doors.

Then it's rarity will be gone.
This car is a real conversation starter.

Conversations like:
"Do you know why I'm pulling you over?"
Or
"Where's the fire, son?"

What a great piece of American history. Very cool and that is one reason why I love Furys and C bodies, for the possible bootlegger history! I love the look of this Fury, plain, subtle but completely bad *** and blast to drive! I know l love mine!

I recall someone posting a 65/66 police 4 door, 4 speed highway cruiser from a car show, quite a while back.

Can’t recall if Dodge or Plymouth though.

yes , there's a great story that came with that 65 sat . and the interior is not to bad , just missing the console lid and tach . it was there but got taken . what's the 65 fury interior look like ?
