Thank you for sharing some Beverly Hillbillies trivia. Good to know.

[@jeffreymartin6369]

@ what a few episodes! Glorious cars! Her convertibles and the Drysdale Imperials Chrysler provided the cars.

Very cool Sport Fury! Surprisingly rare and great to see. Thanks Lou and Chris for letting us see this beauty.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Jeff, "Surprisingly rare and great to see." I agree. My pleasure being able to share this car with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Another rare one that looks and sounds fantastic! It looks so unassuming until Mr. Sauer pops the hood or taps the gas. Then you know you're looking at something that's all business. What a great car. Thanks, Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to share this rare car that sounds fantastic with you :-) You're right, that engine is all business....just the way we like it :-) You're welcome, Lou

Never gets old seeing that engine when you open the hood.

[@loucostabile]

[@poppajretired410]

Nice! Can’t hear “413” without thinking of The Beach Boys.

[@ultraviolettp3446]

Wow, Lou! You almost never see one of this vintage Furys. And to see a convertible in black with red inserts on the interior! This is fabulous! Look at all of the Easter Eggs in the design - small styling cues. Your channel is one of the best on youtube and you never CEASE TO AMAZE us with what you offer! You are DA MAN! Happy New Year!

[@loucostabile]

Hi ultraviolet tp, Happy to receive a "Wow" from you :-) "You almost never see one of this vintage Furys" You're right. The kind words are appreciated and motivating. Happy New Year! Lou

413 Max Wedge!!!!! My Mopar-loving friends had those in the early 70,s. Beautiful car, Lou.

Clearly, you keep good company :-) Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car Floyd.

[@richarddevoe5871]

Any time you roll out a Max-Wedge car you’ll have my attention… looking at those tall exhaust manifolds and the cross-ram makes the engine bay one of the most impressive sights to lay your eyes on. Great Plymouth and oh so rare 👍🏼

4:26 You were correct too Lou, Belvedere's had 2 lights each side, one was a backup and the Savoy only had one light. 7.2 MPG for this baby and a later year one got you 420 horses. Tx Lou for my Sunday Mopar. 👀

Absolutely stunning '62 Max Wedge 413! I didn't meet Chris, but walked past his incredible '62 several times at the recent MCACN happening. His immaculate black Sport Fury kept drawing me back to it.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Noel, Happy to read this one "kept drawing me back to it" :-)

[@classicmusclecarexhaust1988]

I knew this video was coming because weeks ago someone walked around MCACN with a 'video camera' (showing my age there) and posted it on YT. In the background I could see you filming this episode, so now you're famous on at least one other channel! Still not sure how the '64 GTO got the reputation as the 1st muscle car when cars like this were running around a few years before. A big (and nasty) engine in a midsize- sounds like a muscle car to me. I guess if Jim Wangers was hired by Chrysler instead of Pontiac things would be different. Love this video, Lou!!!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Tom (and JudyAnn), Well the moment has arrived, that this car is featured today :-) "I guess if Jim Wangers was hired by Chrysler instead of Pontiac things would be different" I think you're right, Lou

Stunning interior!

Thank you for sharing you notice the "Stunning interior!" on this car :-)

[@lonnyjaw]

Yeah Lou, I wonder if this was the 11:1 or the 13.5:1 compression Max Wedge. Judging by the idle I would say it's the 11:1 - but still even that's enough for ANYBODY! Thanks for this treat of a video.

[@loucostabile]

Yeah lonnyjaw, I'm sure it's one of the two compression ratios, and I agree, it's enough for ANYBODY! :-) My pleasure sharing this "treat of a video" with you. You're welcome, Lou

[@danam0228]

Sure sounds like 13.5:1, but maybe not given the droptop and skinny tires it came with

[@OsbornTramain]

That is one classy looking plymouth, the chrome really sets the styling off!

Never saw a Sport Fury that I didn't like. I bought a '62 4dr sedan for $50, Slant 6 and three on the tree. A decent car until grabbing 2nd gear rubber got the rods knocking, and I drove it for months that way. Actually had to prove to a cop that it wasn't a defective exhaust, just the rods knocking. Of course this one is much better looking!

[@knowbodiesfull5768]

Hello Lou! I can't believe you found another Max Wedge '62 Sport Fury rag top! (You did a video on a red '62 SF convertible about a year ago.). It's rare to see even one of these babies today, but two of them in one year? Now that's a treat! Also, I remember you did a feature on a white '62 hardtop, and that one had the Max Wedge engine! I really love the red and black interior treatment on this car. And the whole car is just lovely, especially with the top down! And with that 413 under the hood, it can move! I believe I saw this car in a copy of a magazine that I have in my huge collection; I have to find it. This could be the one! Thanks once again, Lou, for another exciting video. Keep 'em coming! Happy New Year!

[@loucostabile]

Hello Know Bodies Full! You have a good memory! When you see a rare treat like this it's easy to gravitate toward it. My pleasure sharing with you. Happy New Year! Lou

Gee whiz. Some people ridiculed the downsized '62 Plymouths and Dodges, but I have always thought that these were extremely sharp looking cars. It is so much fun seeing the absolute fanciest '62 Plymouth. Thanks again Lou!

1962, the year Elwood Engel arrived at Chrysler. They really had some beautiful interiors in the early to mid-60s. These cars are becoming more popular which is a great thing. To me, the Fury or the Chrysler 300 were the first muscle cars.

The chrome on the polished black looks really nice. Ditto the red and black interior. Side view the car looks like a pumped up Corvair in profile. The back end is similar to a '62 Corvair too. Never noticed that before.

Alright Lou. I know you have it stashed somewhere - if YOU don't have, it doesn't exist. Where is it? Where's the other one?

[@stude2896]

I well remember going to see the 1962 models on introduction day. Both the Ford and Chevrolet dealers had good crowds. Last I went up to see the new 1962 Plymouth's.. Sadly the greatly discouraged salesman and I were the only individuals present along with the lonely 1962 models on display.. The addition of the full length chrome trim, triple taillights and the reintroduction of the Sport Fury were all attempts though largely unsuccessful efforts to make the 1962 Plymouth line acceptable in the marketplace. The car featured is an exceptionally nice example of a car very few customer's were excited about enough to write a check for when new..

No swivels on this '62. Standard on 300s and on '59 Sport Furys; optional on other fullsized Chrysler Corp cars for years '59-'61 only. Not sure, but may also have been standard on '59 Adventurers.

Hey big bro Lou! OOUUUUTTTTTT. 100%. Another American beauty of the 1960's (tho thankfully not in a girlie pink lol 🤣) that you feature here, big bro. This Sport Fury indeed sounds furious and that is enough to-POW!-knock me into the back seat, my bleached white, working class white boy, tube socked stocking calves and feet limply up, sneakers blown off-completely unconscious😵😵. I seriously give Burt Ward's Robin a run for his money in terms of easily being knocked out and carried off over a guy's 1 shoulder, Lou lol. For real 😉😝. This car is brutishly cool and beautiful, man! Menacing, even. All the special chrome bits and medallions-really special. To say they do not make them like this anymore is an understatement. A joy to see these brutes, even if they do put my lightweight JV baseball nature OUT, stocking feet up. Thanks big bro Lou!!! JV Johnny ⚾⚾
