Car Feature: 1962 Plymouth Fury

[@DaveStubbs-bq6kg]

Beautifully stunning Fury! Now that she’s rockin’ a 413, it’s appropriate to crank up the Beach Boy’s tune - “Shut Down”! 😉

[@ToyKingWonder]

What is with the 1967 GTX pictures at 1:42????

[@smiddysmidton8313]

62 Dodges and Plymouths are one of my all time favorite cars. The downsized design that was criticized is what makes them so awesome today , the lightest B body ,unique wow styling . I want one .

[@robedmund9948]

Gorgeous car! Great job on the restoration. My first car was a 1963 Plymouth Sport Fury. Bought it in late 1981. My dad was a mechanic and he maintained the vehicle for a little ole lady who was meticulous. 318, though, but still fairly fast. It got me through college and my young dumb brain thought a 4x4 F250 would be better. Oh, hindsight!!

[@chessiesystemrailfanman3741]

Awesome muscle car my friend, seems like a mellow guy as well. Enjoy buddy!!

[@constantdarkfog49]

Great job on the restoration on this Classic 62 Fury, that's a really cool ride.

[@jeffleblanc8850]

These were the first muscle cars in my opinion my favorite body style the 62 to 65

[@robgrant9583]

That is such a beautiful and unique looking car.

[@79tazman]

That's a sweet Plymouth those cars that come with the Super Stock 413 with the duel quads or the Max Wedge was the king of the Streets and Track back in the Early 60's

[@justenough730]

@isaac chastain you are wrong max wedge was the more powerful,and besides that Pontiac blocks cracked

[@joebalser9515]

@leroy brown 413 had the cross ram too. The Beach boys song "Shut down" was about one racing a Stingray. A magazine did the actual race between a correct Vette and the Dodge and the Beach boys must have been on something when they wrote the song because the Vette got stomped lol

[@zcam1969]

413 max wedge 63 plymouth / duel quad ,my friend has is a factory drag car with believe it or not push button transmission

[@zcam1969]

the Beach Boys also sung about the Duel-Quad Chevrolet 409 ..my friend im not sure but you may have your LPs mixed up

[@jeffblack1644]

@@zcam1969 No he's right. Shutdown was about a max wedge Mopar vs an injected corvette. 409 was about a four speed, dual quad positraction 409. Which I guess was in a biscayne or impala.

[@rogerspice7743]

In 1968 or 69 (I was 15 or 16) I bought a 1962 (red) Plymouth Fury with a 361CI 4 barrel three speed (manual on the collum). It had wide ovals, keystone mag's, shakel's (California rake) glass pack's, and duel exhaust.

[@martentrudeau6948]

It's a beautiful car and a treasure, because they don't make cars like that anymore.

[@efandmk3382]

Of course they do. You can get Camaros, Mustangs, and Challengers in muscle versions. And, if you can afford one, there's always Corvette. And, believe it or not, there are some turbo charged VWs, Porches and Audis out there that will knock your socks off!

[@14goldmedals]

Marten Trudeau thank God they don't make'em like that anymore! Heavy, slow, can't turn, can't brake, no heat, A/C sucked, winter driving is an lol. You can buy a Civic that's as fast or faster. I'm an old guy, retired mechanic, and I endorse this message.

[@14goldmedals]

@Jeremy Thompson cars were fun to drive in those days because you had to really drive them. High torque and terrible everything else! But I'm much much older now and i see there's a Mustang that goes 0-60mph just north of 3 seconds not to mention the monsters Dodge makes now. Yes the nostalgia is fun but today's cars are just what we old, experienced motoheads have wanted our entire lives. Take care and drive it like it's stolen and keep the shiny side up my friend.

[@HansDelbruck53]

I don't know. With one of those 3-D printers you can make just about anything nowadays.

[@trackman174]

These ruled the local street races when I was a kid in the 60's. Nice ride! The first muscle cars.

[@theviking363]

That is gorgeous. 1 out 3 of my favorite car's. 63 Forrd Galixie, 68 Pontiac Bonneville,68 Plymouth Satellite and yours..just nice. Oh and the Bonneville gotta be a convertible..oh yeah

[@truebetold65]

Beautiful piece of artwork.

[@mthowdy57]

Memories...drove a red 62 Plymouth for a couple years...225 slant six...not quite the same...two door hardtop. 1962 was the first year my dad had his Chrysler franchise.

[@dbc1dc]

I'm a little perplexed by this video. He is talking about his '62 Fury, yet at 1:42, pictures of a '67 GTX are shown.

[@jessejackson9578]

Yea! I was thinking the same thing.....all the old snap shots are of the 67'.

[@v.e.7236]

I had a "collector" '67 Fastback Mustang that came w/ a 390 V8 and never knew what I had, til years later. I took the big bock out and put in a 351 Cleveland w/ a M-21 transmission. What a blast to drive and I'd sure like to have it back. Oh well, live and learn.

[@79tazman]

That car is awesome and even cooler it's a Canadian car. I'm a big fan of those early 60's Mopars some call them ugly but I think they are awesome!

[@EBthere]

This body style is so cool in my opinion.

I was in luck when I was a teenager my Dad purchase a formal 1962 Plymouth Belvedere Minnesota Highway patrol car with a 361 four barrel carb, and something that most cars did not have was positive traction. it would scream!!! It has always be a favorite of mine.

[@AnthonyFarley-q7f]

when I was younger my dad bought a 62 Plymouth fury 2 door hard top with push button drive...just like this.... it was a real attention getter! he later sold it and was turned into a drag car.

I've got a 65' Fury with a 383 and factory 4 speed. It's fun on the back country roads. I think I like the 62-64's a little better though.

[@tomglorius5091]

Yes I had a 65. Fury. It was cool but 64. I had 65...and 64. 64 on back way cooler badass. Body styles I miss my 64. So much it was 383 hipo pushbutton automatic fast and loved it that was back in 1990...where has time gone paid 700..$ for it was very solid I got pics and memories in it that s all but I treasure them always its on my wall now l ok😳😁😁😁

Never buy a 65 bad investment no street hemi in 65

A ‘65 would have been the larger C body. Very rare with a 4 speed. 👍😎

I know what you mean. Each spring as I get my 67 mustang out, it’s a special car again! It’s not fodder, a six cylinder, but runs good and I love mine just as you love yours. MOPAR+FOMOCO= love of cars!

[@kcav5374]

I Love old Chrysler B bodies! The one I raced was 1962 Sort Fury which was basically a beaten, clapped out street car. I bought it with a manual shift pushbutton 727, 3,91 gear and a forged crank 440 ,running and driving for $300.00! I gutted the car, welded in sheet metal in the qtrs. & wheel wells, put in plexiglass side windows, lexan' windshield, 6 point roll cage. Fun car to build! I came to absolutely LOVE that body style and I'd love to have another one.... If I could find the same deal for the same money...

I got my 62 4 door fury in 04 out of a barn yard on the way home from school. Drove it home with no brakes . Lol. Had the 318 poly Painted it black. It was old primer when purchased . Paid 400$ cash. Sold it long ago. I miss it so much.

[@robertgardner7470]

To increase the value of the car I would at least replace the intake manifold with a stock 413 cross-ram manifold with two Carter 650 cfm carbs. In 1962 Plymouth named the engine the" Super Stock 413". It should be noted that the 413 ramcharger engine is exactly the same and was used in the Dodge Dart vehicles.

[@jeremythompson9895]

Definitely. Only problem is those cross ram intakes are very hard to find and crazy expensive

[@garycorbier9123]

Had a powder blue 62 Plymouth. took 15 trophies in 65 at the Nashville Drag strip

VERY nice car. I had a '62 Belvedere 2dr Htp back in the early 90s (paid $100.00 for it) and then sold it to a guy through Hemming's Motor News so he could restore it. I've had alot of 1960s cruisers (including a '62 Impala SS "409" and when driving your cool old car down the street with the windows down and the oldies up.....it's like you're in a TIME MACHINE doing what you did as a kid!!! NOTHING ELSE LIKE IT!!!

I won 99 per cent of the drag races I raced with my 1970 Challenger r/T 440 six-pak too. Chevy owners hated it. In 1973 I was running high 10's in the quarter mile at a little over 130 mph.

[@robertc9957]

If I remember correctly the ad slogan for the ‘62 was “greatest Plymouth ever built”. at least it was one of the best looking Plymouth’s ever built!

[@TBullCajunbreadmaker]

I am a Ford man at heart but I am also a Mopar lover too and had two Mopars and one of them had the 413 with single four barrel/ It was in a Fury also. It was bad to the bone. Most people believe that Furys were heavy cars but they are lighter than many other Mopars and they are always quick.

[@MrJohnnyDistortion]

How did the engine "crack" from a coolant leak?

[@MrZcotty]

Someone adding water over time, diluting the antifreeze to the point of it no longer anti freezing. :)

[@aaroncone6778]

The answer, is driving it until it's so hot with low coolant in the radiator, until it cracks the cylinder walls (low coolant in the block). Then the only option, is to sleeve the cylinder that's cracked, & "O" ring the sleeves, to prevent any coolant to leak past the sleeve & cylinder. I've seen many 383's had this repair done.

[@lawrencelampke6007]

It was a blessing in disguise, the 361's were slugs. I had one in a low mile 1964 Dodge Custom 880 and I hated it. A 413 or even a 383 would definitely be a wise upgrade and a hell of a lot more fun

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

When cast metals experience heat extremes, they warp or crack. I would imagine said coolant leak caused the engine to overheat and the block cracked as a result.

[@dordor718]

[@timhallas4275]

1962 was the year that Chrysler, for some unknown reason, decided to drop a few of their "heavy duty" engines in some mid-size cars. The 361 was originally designed as a high torque engine for trucks. I had one in a 66 Dodge Polara. Everyone thought it was a 383. It actually had more torque that the 383.

[@drippinglass]

In ‘62, the mid size was the full size. It wasn’t until ‘65 that they became intermediate Plymouths.

[@bonkeydollocks1879]

Class and cool never go out of fashion 😷👍🇬🇧

[@peters8758]

The 1962 lineup was actually a D'OH moment. Chrysler's head was eavesdropping on what GM planned to launch, and misunderstood what he heard. He scrapped everything and, love 'em or hate 'em, these are the 62's that shipped. At least they kept the old powertrains. www.allpar.com/history/plymouth/1962.html
