Despite competing for the same market, many people think that the Chevrolet Fury was a separate animal, particularly when the fourth generation was introduced and was built on the full-size Chrysler C-body platform.
Unfortunately, the Impala was too strong for the new Fury to handle. Big Boy, a Chevrolet model that was already popular, reached its zenith in 1965. Impala became the first vehicle to accomplish so following World War II, helping Chevy’s full-size sales reach well over 1 million cars in a single year.
The Fury was reinvented for the model year 1965, hitting the streets in three configurations, intuitively called Fury I, Fury II, and Fury III. The difference was simple: these three monikers were trim levels, so if you wanted the best of the best, you had to go for a Fury III.
Right here, on a trailer, is a Fury III that has probably spent years in what appears to be a junkyard full of other classics. Although eBay seller surfinmore withholds any information, they say they will sell the car to anyone who offers at least the price of an iPhone 15 Pro. Without a reserve, the bidding begins at $995, and whoever submits at least one offer wins this damaged Fury.
Now, let’s spend a couple of minutes trying to answer the question in everybody’s mind and describe the car’s condition. The Fury III still has an engine under the hood, but it looks wrecked, and I wouldn’t expect it to be working. The seller says the car can only be used for parts, and I think they’re correct. The vehicle looks rough, so only the bravest would try to bring this Fury III back to the road.
Unless this Fury is uncommon and has the potential to become a collectible, such a project isn’t really rational. Since it doesn’t, the purchaser will undoubtedly use it for components.
The Fury appears to be largely whole, and despite being in terrible condition, it still retains the bumpers, headlights, grille (which is exceedingly difficult to find for a 1966 MY), and various extra parts in the trunk. We can’t look inside the cabin because the doors are shut, but I don’t anticipate any better news there.
The Fury is undoubtedly a very challenging project, but if you’re trying to salvage another 1966 Plymouth, it would be worthwhile to give it another shot. The wheels don’t roll, obviously as a result of the automobile lying for so long under the clear sky, so bringing it home will also be difficult. The no-reserve bidding is still going on, and you can watch it in person in Summerville.
