PM41U3D259688 should not last long at the $6.5k ask. I am just a bit puzzled by the rear seat -- it should be B1X9 per the tag.
From the ad:
"Retired Oklahoma Highway Patrol 1973 Plynouth Fury for sale. U-Code 440 engine
Special order build car
Certified police speedometer Dual spotlights 2 antenna holes nesr the rear window
This car was in service with Oklahoma Highway Patrol until 1979. I have documentation for it. The car is solid, no rot in the rockers or in the doors or fenders. The rear quarters are also pretty damn nice. Someone patched a spot on the passenger floor pan over the years, but otherwise it's super solid. It sat in the elements from the 80s til the 2010s, so it'll need interior work. The paint will need attention too, but it has held on surprisingly well in most spots. The car runs, drives, and stops. It sounds good. Plenty of power. It sat for many years so of course it'll need things, one thing that comes to mind is it needs some part in the lower portion of the steering column. It'll need interior attention for sure, maybe some wiring attention to get the oil pressure gauge to function."

Here is what the B1X9 should look like, per the ever so helpful Hamtramck Registry Library -- note the patterns and materials are different, and there is no tufted button (unlike in the car for sale):
Here are some more photos showing the metal condition, speedometer, and certificate:

It still amazes me that any municipality would spend more money on a Fury II or Fury III.
It also surprises me that they would get cloth seats (B1) instead of vinyl (B2). It is not just about longevity but also about the ease of cleaning up...

Quite a few agencies ordered a higher trim than the base models. Washington State Patrol ordered Fury IIIs and Polara Customs for resale value and Trooper comfort. They even had carpet vs rubber floor mats.
Very rare oil pressure gauge on this one in the clock spot.
Some perp pissed himself all over the rear seat. Just replace the seat with another one from a different car.
I would think that a PD would replace only with a matching part, not just one that fits. My suspicion is that this was replaced at some point after the end of the car's duty.
