It would be extremely interesting if this 1977 example was actually ordered from new in code 19 Starlight Black as generally speaking it was not a standard colour for the Esprit so it would have been a special order car. Really code 19 was usually a Trans Am colour but I understand some Firebirds were indeed sprayed in very specific colours and the cowl tag would be stamped with the special mark accordingly. This is a truly beautiful Firebird Esprit, I love it just the way it is! 🔹🧡🔹The lady who owned this one certainly had excellent taste! 👌🏼

I remember when I was young a guy had one in red and white...he also had a Desoto...neither would fit in his garage and he couldn't build a bigger garage so he had a guy build an extention to his existing garage (only 1/2 the height of the garage) so he could put the car in...he always referred to it as a kick out...😂 beautiful cars though...he'd wax and polish every weekend when the weather was nice...it would take him the whole day...😂

My dad bought one when we lived in Michigan used 1 year old in 1961. It had the 354 cu. inch hemi v-8 with dual quad tunnel rams. It was known as plummers' nightmare. the 354 was terrible on gas, 7 mpg city and 9 on the highway. 400 hp, though. My mom said it would pass anything but a gas station! My dad sold it in 1964 for $700 to a neighbor to buy a '63 Caddy for $3800. I never knew they made the trusty 318 as a a hemi though!
@TheDejael4 ай бұрын
There was no 354 Plymouth engine. In 1960, there were only three V8 engines offered by Plymouth: the 318, introduced in 1957, the 361 Poly, and the 383.
@bartlevenson78512 ай бұрын
@@TheDejael It was the dual four barrel hemi with "tunnel ram". the intake manifolds were nearly 4 feet long and crossed each other over the center of the engine. It was an Indy Pace car! But we would have been much better off with the legendary 318. Enough performance with good fuel economy, simplified maintenance, and durability! Anyway, I remember those days when it was new, and not everyone can say that!

Very nice presentation of an excellent Plymouth Fury. I drive a 1996 Dodge Dakota which has a final generation of the 318cu.in. engine. Absolutely a real fine bullet proof engine. It just purrs. Thanks for a great video. Nice to listen to your accent too reminding me of my grandfather Edgar S. Tolmie, born in Glasgow, Scotland, emigrated to the US when he was 16. Never lost his accent.

I love this model along with the 58 Fury. I even liked it when they took the fins off the back in 61. I wish the had carried the smooth sides all the way from front to rear, thus making a smoother transition into the 1960s.
