1966 Plymouth Fury Sport 6.3L

1966 Plymouth Fury Sport Description

For sale is my 1966 Plymouth Sport Fury with a 383 cubic inch engine and factory 4 speed standard transmission, with an open axle. I was told the engine was rebuilt when I bought the car. While replacing a valve cover gasket, I decided to check into this andsaw the condition of the head, cam lobes, rockers, lifters,and valve springs and how clean they were, so I believe this to be true.The overall condition of this car is pretty nice, and it shows that someone spent some time and money on this vehicle.

When I bought it a couple of years ago, it still needed some love to be road worthy. On and off over the seasons, I've done what I can to get it finished. Some minor things still need to be done, but I drive it around my industrial complex to keep things moving. I have 4 other classic cars and a bunch of bikes, so I can't dedicate any more time to this cool Mopar.

A 1966 4 speed Sport Fury in this overall condition is seldom seen. This Plymouth is fairly complete ... with only 1 wheel moulding being incorrect ... and wouldn't require much to finish. Originally a Georgia car, the bottom is very well preserved and shows minimal rust. The paint is very nice, as is the interior. The drivers side window regulator needs a bit of adjusting. The wheel covers shown are off a later year Fury, but I liked the look of them. I may have the original style i'd throw in with the sale, or dog dish style.

....Overall a very nice Sport Fury.

This Plymouth has a few oil leaks here and there. One is at the power steering pump return hose. Another appears to be the passenger side valve cover gasket. I have no idea how long this car sat before I got it, nor do I know it's history, other than what I was told. Supposedly, the engine is out of a Road Runner. The length of the push rods confirmed this, as earlier 383's had different push rods. If I can get it in the air, I'll try to get pics of the engine block #'s, along with transmission info. The shifter is nice and tight, and shifts the transmission perfectly .... and the reverse lockout works great on a shifter known to be cheesy.

At one point I was running the car and the fuel in the tank was very low. It sucked a bunch of stabil or someother dark looking gas supplement/stabilizer into the carb (as indicated in the fuel filter sight glass) and the vehicle started smoking like crazy. I pulled the carb and cleaned it of the contaminate. There was a residue of the stuff on the inside of the intake manifold which I tried to remove ... the best I could. I also changed the spark plugs, as they became glazed by the additive. It still smokes a bit, but it's clearing out. What this car really needs is a good drive to heat up the exhaust and burn off the residue, as it went that far. I have never registered it to do this procedure. Driving it around my industrial complex in first or second gear is no where near enough to clear it up.
