1962 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible 413 Max Wedge in Red on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

Thank God for people like Joe that rescued this rare Mopar and was able to breathe new life into her for the world to see in person and not just pictures in a book lost to time!

A 1 of 2 Mopar with a Max Wedge, gives me goosebumps ! Great find Lou !!

Lou, that is one rare and beautiful MoPar! Chrysler, in my opinion, has always been the leader in rare and innovative ways to make their cars go FAST! Chrysler certainly proved it at the track during the 1960's. The 413, 426 Wedge, 426 Hemi, 440 Magnum, 440 Six Pack, 383 Magnum, 340 Six Pack, Legends All ! Don't forget the Golden Commando Hemi's in the 1950's!

Lou your car choices are home run after home run! Sport Fury ! How beautiful was this car!

Gosh that red paint job is gorgeous. I miss cars having this kinda styling and the wide variety of paints you could get on a car back then.

Another Mopar Beauty 😍😎🇨🇦💗!! I love Plymouth Fury's & all things Mopar!! Awesome Ride!!

Nice! Top up or down, this one looks fantastic and plenty of power for the strip or the street, too. Another rare one we'd probably never get the chance to see without this channel. Thanks, Lou!

A great car. How beautiful and advanced the car industry was back then in the US. It's great to watch these road cruisers, with nostalgia and longing for an era that has passed. Respect for the owner for resurrecting it and keeping it from oblivion.

A beauty! Thankful for the owners dedication to the restoration.

Joe certainly has a beautiful beast of a car . I particularly like the red and black interior. Thanks Lou .

Thanks for posting Lou. Great work by Joe in restoring this rarity. Amazing to think that Mopar went to great lengths to modify the engine bays to accommodate the Max Wedge. In the middle of a Model Year. And for just a handful of vehicles.

Beautiful Sport Fury Convertible ! Great History ! Beautifully restored ! Thanks Lou !

Thank you for bringing us another iconic car from a bygone era. The dashboard is a work of art, unlike today whereby all you see are touchscreens. A Max Wedge engine draws crowds at any auto show, unlike the plastic covered engines of today.

What a beautiful restoration!

What a beautiful Plymouth - just love it! Thanks Lou!

WOW. Spectacular car Joe. Every inch is special but I'll mention the interior. The metal features and details are beautiful. Lost forever as interiors changed over to all plastic. Thanks for bringing it to us Lou.

On a recent Leave it to Beaver episode, Uncle Billy was visiting and he was driving a RED Plymouth Sport Fury! Looked just like this car! Well Done Lou! A true Classic!

Gotta be the coolest name for any engine EVER! Such an oddball looking car back then. The styling is still polarizing today but, much loved by those who appreciate them.

Hello again, Lou! It is such a wonderful treat to see a '62 Sport Fury convertible. It was rare when new (1,516 were made); that is the biggest reason why you don't see many today. It is more than 60 years old, after all. I thought I heard the owner say that there are only two known to survive, so the chances of seeing one now is awfully slim! (I did see a '62 Fury _(not a Sport Fury)_ convertible in the Baltimore area in the late 1980s; I haven't seen it since then.) That red and black interior is awesome; as is the instrument panel. I saw quite a few '62 Plymouths when I was a child, and I thought they looked rather odd, especially at the front. I couldn't help thinking, "Are those headlights in the grille, or are those gigantic parking lamps?" Today, they're not all that bad looking, because you simply don't see that many! This would have been Ward Cleaver's "mid-life crisis" special; I wonder how June, Wally, and The Beaver would have felt about that! 😀. Anyway, thanks once again, Lou, and keep those videos coming! _(3/4/2023)_

My Dad's first car was a 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury Two-Door Hardtop. It was three years old when my Grandfather bought the car from their neighbor. It belonged to his wife and only had 11,000 miles on the odometer. Fully loaded with Air Conditioning, Power Windows, a 361 C.I. V-8, and a Torqueflight 3-speed pushbutton transmission. It was Silver Blue with a Blue/White Interior. He told me they paid $1,800.00 for the car because that is what the Chrysler dealer offered them on a trade for a 1965 Chrysler New Yorker. He loved that car!

Awesome car find Lou and Joe seems to be a lovely gentlemen. Fantastic.

What a rare beauty. Thanks for bring it to us Lou.

I'm sure glad Joe was able to save this magnificent car, I love the red color and the history behind it. Great video

Another beautiful car filmed out of focus. If we all chipped in a few cents we could buy this guy a decent camera. I think he deserves one.

¡Magnífica restauración de éste raro Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible 1962 "Max Wedge"! Su interior en rojo con negro combina perfectamente. Bien hecha la transición para demostrar como se ve con su techo plegable blanco y luego recogido. ¡Me sorprendió el rugido de su motor, haciendo gala a su nombre, ya que sonaba con furia! ¡Felicitaciones, Lou, porque siempre traes modelos únicos al canal!

What a cool 62 Fury great job on finding out what the carhad new and put it back to original looks as good as it left the showroom floor in 62

Joe shows a lot of love for his Plymouth by keeping it in such pristine condition. Those old MOPARs did not like cold weather or extreme heat also. Very temperamental.That can be fixed with a Holey Sniper set-up. But once they got started they could smoke those tires! Thanks to Joe for the MOPAR history lesson. Thanks for posting Lou. Have a blessed day.

Doesn't get much more rare than that! I'm betting that 413 produces a wee bit more HP and torque than 'advertised' ;) Stunning example and incredible story to bring it back to life!

Another gem brought to us by Lou

Absolutely magnificent car ! Imagine the thrill seeing this new in 1962....wow!

Hey 👋 Lou here comes Mr. Drysdale and Ms. Jane Hathaway pulling up in the driveway 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂. Hi 👋 there Lou Ivan I J here, if that’s not one of the rides 🚗 that was seen driven, road and used in The Beverly Hillbillies Classic 60’s TV series. An individual who loves watching that show would have to be not to recognize one of those rides that was driven and used for them to drive around on that 60’s classic tv 📺 series. Lou my hat’s 🎩 off to Joe not only for the search 👀 🔍 🔦 and rescue 🛟 of that ride but for the complete restoration of it. Lou what an awesome, amazing, excellent, fantastic and outstanding restoration he has done ✅ on that ride. He deserves more than kudos Lou. People don’t know, forget or remember back then but a lot of your classic tv 📺 shows not only driven, drove and used Antique, Classic and Vintage Cars by the Big Three Ford, Chrysler and GM but they also Sponsored the Shows as well too. Again Lou my Hat 🎩 is off to Joe on the complete restoration of his Ride and to you Lou, my compliments on the awesome 👏 😎 🤩, amazing 🤩 videos that you produce, provide and bring us. Thanks 🙏 😊 again Lou. Sincerely Yours Truly Ivan I J 😎😎😎😎 P.S. what’s the website where a person can get their hands 🙌 on a lot of books 📚, brochures and magazines of the Big Three Ford, Chrysler and “GM” General Moto.??

I can dig it. Beyond that, speechless. Great offering, Lou.

Once again your videos bring back memories. One of the kids I grew up with had a 63 Sport Fury convertible. His was originally a 318 but his dad was in the used car business and his mechanic put a 413 cross ram engine in it out of a Wrecked Chrysler 300. Another one of my High School buddies dad had a 62 Savoy with a 431 max wedge in it. It was still a street terror in 1969 when we graduated form high school.

My parents had that car in the 4dr sedan and we loved it! I was 3 yo and I remember going to the dealership to pick it up! My earliest memory. Sport Fury’s are extremely rare. My parents car was a Sport Fury with the 413 V8 4bbl

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

Wow! That is an amazing , gorgeous rare car !

THANKS LOU AND JOE ,FOR SHARING THIS STORY 🤗💚💚💚

What an Amazing story tracked down the original owner. Thanks for sharing story, Mopar More Parts . Thanks for sharing Joe. 👍

Wow! What a treasure! Yes, there was some controversy of the B-body Furys/Belvederes/Savoys, mainly due to the reduction in the dimensions of the cars but on the roads they were top beasts. Cars like these started Mopar drag terror... This view 7:54 is absolutely top! And 10:25, it's not just the sound of an engine but the roar of a tiger!

It's sure nice to see someone with the wherewithal and ability see something like this to the end. Many cars like this end up in the land of good intention and are never completed and left to chances. As time goes by its becoming more and more difficult to round up the parts and talent to rescue an interesting vehicle like this.

Superb vehicle a work of art and a credit to its restorer.

My friend from Rhode Island had a black one in mint condition. His nickname was " The Plym"!

No word of a lie Lou, When I read the introduction (1962 Plymouth Fury…413 Max Wedge) I thought there can’t been many of those made! Then to hear they only made 13 and only 2 survive, that’s cool! Great find Lou!

Thanks again Lou. That Sport Fury looks good with the top up or down. It sure sounds good.

Love it! Another fabulously restored rare Mopar by Joe, highlighting several features unique to these super rare MaxWedge 413s.

Beautiful car. I always loved the 1962 Fury

Wow! Only two survivors, and this one is sweet!

Good day Lou, Just amazing & high praise to Joe for saving this Sports Fury. The colour combination is absolutely amazing & to top it off a genuine 413 Max Wedge. Got to love those long runner intake manifold, & the ram horn exhaust manifold. Red cars always go faster & this one does. Thank you for sharing Cheers Louis Kats your number 1 Fan in Australia. 👍 🇦🇺 😀 🇺🇸

Lou you know I love these Mopars! Awesome Find to show us Thank you much!

Hey Lou. Beautiful looking car. 1962 has always been my favourite year for the Plymouth Fury. 🙂

This IS a fantastic car! Thanks Joe & Lou. Joe has some really great cars in his arsenal.🙂

There was a car like this in the movie its a mad mad mad mad world. I am a big fan of 61 and 63, and now of the 62 plymouth

Beautiful Fury. I like the fact the exhaust tips are hidden as they should be . Beautiful wheel covers. Wish you spent more time on the interrior. Shes a cream puff!

Thanks Joe and Lou ❤️

This is what a car is supposed to be

GREAT CAR LOU AND VIDEO. ALWAYS ENJOY YOUR CARS AND PRESENTATIONS

Stunning Fury. And, whenever I see a Plymouth or Dodge with a 413, you have to circle back to one of the Beach Boys' great car influenced tunes - "Shut Down". That song tells the drag racing story of a fuel injected Stingray going up against a Super Stock Dodge with the "Four - Thirteen". " " They're revvin' up their engines and it sounds real mean "" The Stingray gets the checkered flag in the end. ; )

Lou, you find the best cars! What a honey!!!

Lou another great story I’m just courteous wat times did it do in the quarter mile back in its day this is the first one I have seen man thanks again for the eye candy Lou

Nice car Lou love it and as a MOPAR fan you get Excited when you see it.

The Quirky Mopar Max Wedge cars are Golden Era cool. The Chrysler cars of the Jet Age

I have always wanted one of those.

WOW! What a car!

* Miss Jane drove a 1962 B-body Plymouth Fury convertible in the 1962 first season of the Beverly Hillbillys and had a new car every year.

Always loved that Crazy design...very nice it's a Screamer...only thing I love (which it doesn't have) is the square steering wheel...although this one is attractive. Thanks Joe and Lou!

One word....AWESOME

So cool. Thanks Joe.

Hey Lou, where is Miss Hathaway, is she on her way to pick up Mr. Drysdale!! Lol Great Video Thanks 🙏

Beautiful Mopar! 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Wow, super nice Plymouth - very exceptional! Thanks!

My buddy had a 63 Valiant he sold it and picked up a 71 Scamp, also a Valiant, I believe. They were both fun cars.

Beautiful car ! Not my favorite color but still beautiful, even in red .

Absolutely Beautiful ! Way to go ! 👍

Thats my kind of car, great show Lou.👍👍,

Another very very nice car. Love the Fury's.

😍Great looking '62 👍

The GTO was the first self-aware muscle car, but these Max Wedge cars were far superior performers two years earlier.

always great video.

Dodge and Plymouth's downsizing for '62 wreaked havoc on sales, but, man, it was a boon for performance.

Wow, amazing story

I know the designer for this new body style at the time was ultimately fired, but this is a beautiful car!

This would have been competition for the 62 Impala 409,4 bbl. Cars like these aren't fast by today's standards but in 62 they'd sure get you to the malt shop & Betty Lou home before 11:30! Lol

A labor of love well worth it

Beautiful car! I kow the lower models had two tail lights and one tail light. This looks GREAT with three. WOW, lots of Max Wedge information and what to look for. Great info. The anticipation building when you set start the engine! MAN ALIVE that's a great sound! Love the video and all the information here. Thanks so much.

Torquey because of the intake length. Art on wheels.

chingon car mr lou

Цікаве авто! І його історія теж цікава! Виглядає фантастично! Дякую!

Awesome review! Thanks, Lou. Oh, BTW, let me know when you want to feature my 2020 100th Anniversary MX-5 Miata. I'll await your phone call. 🙂🙃😛😁😁

Somebody long ago decided that the underhood music did not deserve to be muted by a roof. What a sensation it must be, at any speed.

💕👌 ein wunderschönes kraftmobil 🤣

Great save! Don't know, would someone, normally race a convertible?

How can anyone junk one of these? Especially, when they didn't get into a wreck. That there are only two left (one, if it hadn't been Joe rescuing this one) is a scandal of massive proportions. 413 cubes are more than plenty, for that size a car. That has to be my Mopar Holy Grail

Back in the early 1960s, this car was regarded as being just plain weird-looking!....But I secretly admired Chrysler, for offering such a variety of vehicles--and their engine line-up was ahead of the others, when it came to big-block power!..I even liked the look of the New Yorker models of that era. You just do not see many of these interesting vehicles on the road, as they had a reputation for rusting out pretty quick.

Awesome video, Lou you should look up Richard Carpenter for a feature on one of his Mopars he keeps in his warehouse.

Great

Beautiful ////////////////////////////

Come on, Lou, please don't keep me in suspense, show me the front first, it's unique!!

The brake lights and turn signals only worked on the outer 2 taillights, the in board tail lights only lit up when the park and/or head lights were on. Lesser Plymouths had only one tail light on each side and cars with manual transmissions didn’t have back up lights.

Jane Hathaway drove this car, minus the wedge in the fir season of the Beverly Hillbilles. I love the so called ugly duckling cars ❤. Neat car, rare rare rare, and very cool.

declining numbers at an even rate / at the count of 1 we both accelerate / my Stingray is light the slicks are starting to spin , but the 413 s really diggin in .................."Shut Down" Beach Boys/ Roger Christian March 1963
