1968 Plymouth Fury I Police Package California Car No Reserve on 2040-cars

Year:1968 Mileage:99902
Location:

NO RESERVE!!! For sale is this 1968 Plymouth Fury I police package . I bought this car about a year and a half ago but haven't had the time to finish it and I can now use the room. This is an original police car as evidinced by the second character in the VIN- the "K" designates police. The full Vin decodes as follows:
P- Fury
K-Police
41- Sedan
F-318-2bbl
8-1968
 D-Belvidere plant
212316 consecutive number

 I don't know which department this car served, it was produced in white but shows signs of green paint (green and white was a popular police paint scheme at the time). Being that the car is equipped with a 318 the car likely served with a local P.D. The blue license plates with "A" series letters were issued in 1970 so that is likely when the car was retired from service and stayed in the area ever since, it still wears original license plate frames. Police package 1968 Furys were available with engines ranging from the slant 6 up to a 440 V8. This car still has it's original certified police speedometer, 4 original police only rims and hubcaps, rubber floormat and build sheet.The visibar light bar is vintage correct and is equipped with amber lenses to keep ebay happy, these could be easily changed to any color by the buyer.

Don't be confused by the "tribute", "clone" or whatever other term is used by other cars on ebay painted to resemble a police car, this is the real thing.


When I got the car I drove it on the freeway about 50 miles with no problems, I haven't driven it any distance since but it starts right up and sounds great. The body looks good, the paint has a few chips. The paint is a decent job, it's not concours but is comparable to most cars at vintage police car shows. The front bumper could use rechroming, the back is OK but not new. The dash has no cracks and the seats and door panels look good, the headliner and windlace could be replaced but are not hanging down.

Vintage police cars are always a hit at car shows and parades, drawing more attention than cars costing much more. This Fury is ready to be finished to represent any department you choose. As with any old car it is not perfect, it is being offered with no reserve.

'71 Plymouth Hemi Cuda Convertible sells for $3.5M [w/video]

Mon, 16 Jun 2014


We're plenty used to seeing classic cars selling for millions of dollars. It's just that they're usually European: Ferraris, Bugattis, Mercedes and the like. There are some rare American exceptions, usually wearing the names Duesenberg or Shelby. But what we have here is the most expensive Chrysler product ever sold at auction.
The vehicle in question is a Plymouth Barracuda - specifically a 1971 Hemi Cuda Convertible, chassis #BS27R1B315367 - that Mecum Auctions just sold after eight solid minutes of feverish bidding for a high bid of $3.5 million at its auction in Seattle, Washington. That figure positively eclipses the $2.2 million paid for a strikingly similar Hemi Cuda (chassis #BS27R1B269588) fetched nearly seven years ago in Scottsdale and another that was the first muscle car to break the million-dollar mark in 2002.

Barrett-Jackson 2014: 1970 Plymouth Hemi Superbird passes half a million dollars

Sat, 18 Jan 2014

The Plymouth Superbird is one of those classic American cars from the muscle car era that has captured the imagination of all sorts of automotive enthusiasts long after its presence on roads and race tracks wore away. It's easy to see why. Where else but in the Swingin' Sixties and Seventies would a car leave the factory with an aerodynamics package that included a pointy beak and a rear spoiler that sat several feet above the rear deck?
The example you see above, which was born in 1970, is one of the finest Superbirds we've ever seen. Combine its complete restoration with its original 426 Hemi engine, and it's no surprise that it managed to bring in a cool half million dollars (plus 10 percent in fees) at Barrett-Jackson. See it yourself in our high-res image gallery above, and scroll down below for the official auction description.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
