Customers who wanted a Sport Fury in 1963 had to choose between four engines. The standard unit was the 318 two-barrel configuration, but Plymouth also offered multiple more powerful options, beginning with the Commando 361 two-barrel.
The Golden Commando, a 383 with a four-barrel carburetor, developed a welcome power boost, while the top engine choice for this model year was the Wedge 426 with two four-barrel carburetors.
Plymouth produced 15,253 Sport Furys for this model year, and most (7,836 units) rolled off the assembly lines with the standard V8. Only 86 cars are known to have left the factory with the Wedge V8.
The Sport Fury in these photos spent 34 years in storage, and it's now out with a bunch of fixes that turn it into a head-turning machine. eBay seller route66classics says the car was "semi-restored," meaning it received a fresh coat of paint and new interior seats.
The photos speak for themselves, so I think that detailing the car's condition makes little sense, but it's worth knowing that the Arctic White paint isn't the original finish sprayed by Plymouth when the Sport Fury left the factory. It's also not perfect.
The interior has also been refreshed, but the door panels are original. However, the seats have been redone in the same model as in 1963 and sport the official logos.
It's now the moment to discuss what happens under the hood.
The Sport Fury was born with the 318 in charge of putting the wheels in motion, and the same unit is still there. It's a sign that this vehicle didn't serve as a donor during its tenure in storage, and this is good news, especially for customers who don't want a heavily altered Sport Fury.
The 318 starts and runs correctly, coming alongside several mechanical fixes, including a dual-exhaust system and refreshed brakes. The owner says all numbers match, but the two-barrel carburetor "could use a rebuild soon."
The Sport Fury had only two years since rolling off the assembly lines and still comes with the original sheet metal, spare, and jack in the trunk. It has never been involved in accidents, and you can tell the body is straight, albeit you should inspect it in person or order a third-party inspection if you're committed to a purchase.
As anyone can anticipate, the car has already caught the attention of many people online, with the bidding currently counting 20 bids. The top offer is $23,500, but considering the auction will end in three days, I expect the price to increase significantly by the end of the week. If you want to see this Sport Fury live, you must travel to Fruita, Colorado where it's now waiting for the end of the auction.
