I've been daily driving my '68 Fury VIP and loving every mile of it. My first car was a '67 Sport Fury, both of them fast tops. As much as I love my '68, the only change I might have made to it was to keep the '67 grille and headlights. Other than that, for me it's the perfect car.
My brother inlaw bought a 1968 sport fury convertible, painted midnite blue with a liter blue pinstriping it had the 383 v8 automatic trans. Just a BEAUTIFUL car& it was very fast, for as heavey as it was .
To the backdrop of Sonny & Cher's, "The Beat Goes On." My mom owned a '68 Fury III and the car was a boat. Loved it, and wish I had it back. I would have restored it to it's glory.
A friend of mine had 68 Fury four door with the Commando 383 V8 4bbl. No radio but it had factory a/c that would keep it very cold inside. Awesome car 😎
...though '67 represented the high water mark for Plymouth, these '68's were basically unchanged, though for the first time, buyers could order optional headrests, and all Plymouths sported new shoulder belts and side marker lamps per DOT/NHTSA mandates... ...all full-sized C-body Plymouths were assembled at the Lynch Road, Detroit plant or the new, sprawling facility in Belvidere, Illinois ( named after the famed Plymouth nameplate in suburban Chicago)... ...and, per the ad, the Suburban nameplate was revived after having been retired after the '61 model run...with the base Suburban, Custom and Sport Suburban corresponding to the revised Fury I, II and III... ...the newest Plymouth to counter the whopping success of both Ford's LTD and Chevrolet's Caprice was designated the VIP...featuring enhanced sound insulation, special upholstery selections, upgraded deep pile carpeting and a long list of standard luxury features including full power assists, actual walnut veneer on the dash and door panels and additional courtesy lighting in the passenger cabin, trunk and under the hood... ...a total of 26,000 Sport Furys and 17,500 of the new VIP's helped Plymouth maintain its 4th place sales position... Holiday bonuses flowed freely at all Plymouth assembly plants and, especially at dealers and the Royal Oaks executive offices...
What a Fury video! I love the '67/'68 model year. Very smooth car. A sporty full-size with a muscle car soul. Thanks for sharing. I proudly add it to my playlist.
In 1981 I was living in S. California in El Cajon, working for my brother in law at the time. He let me use one of the cars in the fleet. A very decent but not show quality, 68 Fury III Convertible, in white with white top and green interior with bucket seats and full length console. The best part was the 383 4 brl, with HD 727 Torqflite, feeding a quick 3:55 posi.
Beautiful, but I still believe that the 1967 Plymouth Fury and VIP were a little better looking than the 1968 models... although the two years were similar.
A buddy of mine had a 1968 Sport Fury convertible in high school. (1976 ) One day , with the top down , guy in front pass. seat hangs a "moon " over the side , (in front of high school at lunchtime) door comes open , he has one hand on door the other trying to grasp a hold on the vinyl seat !! I'm in the back seat , PANIC ,and ONE HANDED pulled him back in the car ! I couldn't have done it without being scared for my buddy !
@@bryguy8203 Thanks , I think it was a Thursday , but my buddy didn't come back to school til Monday morning . I tried to pick him up with one hand and couldn't do it , amazing what you can do when your trying to help a buddy . ( he phoned me a few years ago , to tell me he had been diagnosed with early dementia , and wanted to say hello to all his friends , before he couldn't remember them . )
I owned a 68 Plymouth Fury III fastback coupe back in 1975. Ita had the 318 smallblock engine and a 3spd automatic transmission on the column. It had power steering and brakes plus air conditioning. Drove it for 3 years and was a nice Cruiser.😎
@0:59, "...amidships..." Not too far from the truth, considering the overall size of the car. What a great time for American cars, and this was a beautiful example.
WOW 🤩 I’m actually restoring a 1967 Plymouth Sport Fury with the Optional 440/375 HP Super Commando V8. I’m looking for NOS Sport Fury Emblems if anyone has them??? Thank You 😊 for the Help! 💥💥💥
A very straight lined design still as opposed to Ford & Chevrolets more flowing full-size designs for 1968. I'd prefer those (especially the Chevy) and think 1969s fuselage-furys were also better looking than these.
My brother had s 67 fury. Cheapest car I've ever seen. 67 fury sedan 4 door, manual drum brakes. Manual steering, rubber floor mat, radio delete, 3 speed trans. I think the only option it had was a heater
