The 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury was a mid-sized car with a 426-inch-cubic-inch "Wedge" engine that made it more powerful than its looks suggested. Nate Sornborger of Harwinton, CT shows off his understated model that goes back to the dawn of the muscle car era.
(Editor's note on Dec. 12, 2023: As noted by a sharp reader, the story incorrectly states that "Plymouth built the Fury model between 1959 and 1978." The company actually launched the Fury in 1955 as a 1956 model.)

What a magnificent car. My neighbor collects Plymouth Classic and has a 1964 Plymouth Sport Fury in White with a Red Interior, and the 361 Cubic Inch V-8 engine. It belonged to a couple living in Covina, California and he purchased the car five years ago from their son. The car has an original 67,000 miles on the odometer, Factory Air Conditioning, Power Windows, and dealer-installed real Kelsey Hays Wire Wheels. The car is flawless and has the original sales documents showing the car sold by Haifner Chrysler/Plymouth, in Covina, CA., in February 1964. Lucky Guys, both of you.

I love the car that's got extra oomph. Especially one that's nice enough that you can sit in it for a while and drive across America. Thank you for sharing your car.

Agreed. A toast to Nate for sharing his Sport Fury!

@@ride-ct-classiccars Automobiles - they were so much more then what they have become. New cars are just pitiful.

Top of the line Sport Fury (same as a Ford XL or Chevy Super Sport trim wise). What makes it special is a 426 “street wedge” w/ 365 horsepower and 470 ft lbs of torque. You could also get the Max Wedge for more money with either 415 or 425 horses but they usually came in the low line, lighter weight Savoy models. ‘64’s were good looking Plymouths.

Definitely my favourite mopar body style and I am a mopar guy. It is my dream to build a resto-mod Plymouth or Dodge B-body. Just flat-out the best looking mopars ever!!!

The fact that it's understated makes it more appealing.

My first car, was a (used) '71, Plymouth Fury, sedan. With unfortunately, a 'fabric' (or whatever, they call them) roof. Good power, and with a 340 cid, 2 barrel carb, motor. I was 18, but had to get rid of it, at 19. One thing though; you iterated @2:51; 'Plymouth built, the fury model between 1959, and 1978". But, there were Fury's BEFORE 1959. They were put into production in '57, I believe. One example is 'Christine', which was a '58🤔, hmmm…………

The first Plymouth Fury was a 1956, limited production White and Gold only. My Grandmother had one with Power Windows and a four-way Power Seat, Gold Anodized Hubcaps, 303 Cubic inch V-8 Hemi engine, and a two-speed Powerflight pushbutton transmission. The reason I know this is when she passed in 1999, she left the car to my Dad. That said, the man talking about his 1964 Sport Fury, mentioned in 1959 the Sport Fury, not Fury became the top model of the Plymouth line of my all-time favorite classic cars.

I stand corrected. Thanks. I did some digging. Plymouth began making a Fury in 1955 for the 1956 model year. I'll add an "editor's note" to the story.

After he left there was about forty feet of burnt rubber in front of the house.. My brother-in-law bought a sport fury. Exactly like that 1 exactly the same car, same color.

Blame me, not the owner. I routinely ask the owners to go slow because the primary purpose of each video is to show off the car. I usually get one or two clips showing what the car can do, but messed up in this case. Have gotten a couple of good burnouts over the years involving a Mustang and a GTO.
