How many miles are on your car...?

Plymouth Fury
The Fury is an automobile that was produced by American auto manufacturer Plymouth from 1955 through 1989. The word signifies a type of anger, inspired by the Furies which are mythological creatures in Ancient Greek and Ancient Roman mythology. The Fury gained popularity throughout its production run from 1956-1974. Production can best be described as one of intrigue, betrayal and revenge. Car ownership seemed to echo that muse through the years.

The New York City Police Department adopted it to be used as one of its cruisers and of course, who could forget the most famous Plymouth Fury of all, Christine. However, something happened over the years. It became known for being less of a muscle car and more of a family sedan. One, owned by Joseph Vaillancourt, was driven as a cab since the mid 1960s. It reached racked up over 1.6 million miles. It was eventually involved in an accident with a truck. Canadian actor Michael Barette bought it and had it fully restored for a cost of $20,000. It was the highest mileage car in North America after all.

The A/C died,, was getting realll rusty,, steering was getting loose..

Somewhere around 425k on the red beast, changed speedometers enough to not be real sure. The previous 65 I sold at 195k, all of my rigs have had pretty high miles by the time I finish them off..............
 
My Fury has about 125,000 original miles. In November 1982 it had 99,500 when I bought it. I guess you could consider it low mileage for being 50 years old.
