The Fury has only 80,755 miles on it and performed almost flawlessly (fuel pump needed replaced) on it's journey from California to Ohio. The Fury averaged 21-22 mpg. How can you beat that!

I've already added the Torque Thrust wheels up front, and steel wheels out back to give it the Super Stock nostailgic look.

The \6 is not pretty but it runs like a top!

Future plans are to put a big block torque monster (a 426 wedge would be nice!) between the fenders and retain the push button transmission.

I'm undecided as to put a hood scoop on the car at this time, but you never know! :) Thanks for the great Web site. Mopar To Ya!

My 1964 Fury ran at the 2004 Norwalk Chrysler Classic in Ohio. The Fury has the original /6 in it yet (not for long!) and ran a best ET of 20.02 @ just over 67 mph. The tranny never came out of 2nd gear! :)

Nice Fury, Rick!

The original owners took very good care of the Plymouth!

Your turn!  

The Fury is a great example of a reminder to buy as nice of a car as you can afford to start with. You located a fine Mopar there, \6 or V8!
