I am a dedicated Ford guy, but man what a beautiful Plymouth! It was worth the price of admission to hear that thing bark the tires! That was so cool to see and hear that. I am loving Art’s collection!

I am 81 years old, and can remember leaving an auto body sweat shop and going to work for a Brand new building and labeled Cherry Hill Chrysler Plmouth, it was like a dream come true.They gave me a guaranteed wage of 100.00 dollars a week plus what ever you could produce.I did not know how it worked, but one of the service writers took time and showed me my mistakes in keeping track of my labor tickets? I personally had a lot of good people that worked with me and worked together.The 1964 Plymouth i think was one of the prettyest cleanest and its lines were so rounded and squared off it was a design that was a head of its time?In the seventies they went to the square straight designe when they allready had the square design from 1964 but were rounded on the fenders and quarter panels.It to me was ahead of its time.Nicest and cleanest looking automobile of 1964.

Art has a time Capsule of beautiful cars in his collection. He has saved them from being crushed. My hats to him. We had a 64 plymouth with the push button. Whit with red interior two door. Then he went back to Ford. Can't wait to see the rest of his collection. Thanks for sharing Art and Tony.

What a car! I absolutely love the Plymouth Fury and Dodge Coronet of the 1960s. Perfect size, perfect proportions. And the driving position was ideal. And, man, did they run. And to think that when these cars were unveiled for 1962, a bunch of dealers quit! Our Driver Ed. car was a 1968 Coronet. Loved it. Thanks Tony and Art!

[@davidweimer8880]

I had one of these ! Same color, white vinyl top. Same interior too. 318 motor. Bought it while in college in 71. When I graduated in 73 I drove it till 74 and bought a new Road Runner. But I remember it always ran well.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

The 318 was a great engine!

[@matrox]

How was the ride and steering when you got rid of it? All the A and B body mopars I have owned lost their ride quality around 80k miles and the steering got sloppy. I also had a 69' Road Runner began to drive terrible as the mile racked up but the performance was still fine. Sold it at about 130k miles and could still leave a patch of rubber for 10' when stomping it.

[@benpatrick1860]

Sweet Car ! Back in 82 Co-Worker came to work to show off his father's Belvedere the 318 in those years was nice and peppy.

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Yes, they were. That's the engine that both my dad's 63 and 64 had.

[@groberts1780]

Thanks to Art for preserving such a time piece. I have fleeting memories of being driven to and from kindergarten in my Mom's 1964 Dodge two door which was very similar to this - assume that would have been the Coronet? Dark blue over light blue interior with push button transmission and most likely a 318. That sound of the Mopar starter turning over and over on cold mornings is forever etched in my brain :)

[@tonyscarcare5657]

Yes, sir......one that grew up in those times can never forget the sound of those starters. Thank you for watching!

[@rightlanehog3151]

Tony, This has to be the best looking and most luxurious Fury I have ever seen. It is the equal and opposite of our base 1975 Fury sedan with a 95 hp Slant Six. That model had an official 0-60 time of 18.9 seconds but they must have tested it going down a steep hill because it seemed even slower to me. 😂I hope Art can show enough self-discipline to keep his Sport Fury under 100. 😉

[@tonyscarcare5657]

I think he will. He doesn't take them very far anymore. I really appreciate you all taking the time to watch these videos. Thank you very much!

Hi Tony, it was nice to see this PLymouth, this one looks a little like a Dodge Coronet with the side window. I liked when I was young, and I also like that this one has a floor shifter it was not so usual I think. My dad had a Dodge Dart GT 1964 with a pushbutton automatic, and a Dodge Dart GT 1968 model with a floor shifter and I liked them, I had a new licens to drive at the time. In Sweden we can take our licens when we are 18 years old.👍

Wow. We get our license at 16 years old.

I never seen a "Plymouth Fury" intill another KZbin video which I'd watched hours ago and searched just to come to your channel and i am impressed beyond belief. My father was born in 55 and will be 68 this December and him and i just loved this video. He said he never seen one this nice in his younger years and of course he was still a kid. But, i just have to say that this was a pure car lover's video with so much enjoyment. I'll be sharing this video, for sure! 😁

[@stevekovacs4093]

I bought one like it in 75. Had 43000 on the clock, it was a convertible with a white top, no a.c.. An old lady from Bellflower Ca sold it to her mechanic for a few hundred because it had a broken transmission cable. He slammed another one in and sold it to me for 375 bucks. Wrong cable, no park or 1st gear. Local Chrysler dealer got me the correct one for 20 bucks. I miss that car even though I sold it 45 years ago..

[@johnlandacre767]

This ‘64 is a very nice car, and rather handsome. I wouldn’t give you much for the ‘62 and ‘63 models. That styling was just bizarre, and kind of ugly. I’d have to give Fords and Chevys the edge in the styling department for these early ‘60s cars, but this is not so bad. Don’t know if this is an Elwood Engel design or not, but by 1965, I thought Chrysler was fully competitive with the big 2 in styling. They never could quite deliver a successful full line like Ford and Chevy, but they had some outstanding styling in the late 60s. Who wouldn’t love a Dodge Charger, ‘68 or ‘69? With a 383 or 440, or hemi V-8? Anyway, this was a fun exercise to see this beautiful car of Art’s. And with factory air! A rare option on Plymouths of this era.

That was indeed very costly for a car at Plymouth (Ford Chevrolet) level in 1963. Very highly optioned. As was mentioned the transmissions were almost unburstable in Chryslers during this time and so were their engines.

This is another beautiful car that Art has in his collection. Since he has so many cars, does he use any fuel stabilizer such as Stabil, Seafoam, or Marvel Mystery Oil to keep the gas from going bad?
