Paint job looks to be poor quality. Interior is weathered and the trunk floor is thin. Suspect there could be lower body rust hidden by bondo if it came from the area where it is for sale. Non runner, will need full brake overhaul and probably a new gas tank, all hoses belts etc. Tires are junk. A/C system likely junk also. Think something closer to $2500 is a fair price assuming that there is no extensive under body rust.

$2500 ? ARE you insane? A 69 Sport Fury, buckets, console, 383-4, 77 thousand original and you are gonna give it the standard Formal price ? .. Dave, all due respect .... Lets think about that.

I'm not quite nuts yet. (There are those who would disagree). The price is admittedly low, but there are a lot of unanswered questions about this car. Some one did a quick and sloppy job of painting it, why? Usually it is because there is rust, often lots of it. Without eyes on the car there is no way to tell. What I can tell is that the car will need to be stripped and painted, a new interior, the brakes, tires etc, that I mentioned above. I would also assume that there was some significant mechanical issue that caused it to be parked in the first place. I see a potential money pit, hence the low estimate. If the car turns out to lack any significant rust, then you can probably add $2000 to the estimate.

Engine spins over, trunk pan is thin, but not gone. B3 with D interior looks so nice. Closer inspection is needed.

Didn't realize there was an S code interior (platinum) not for convertible thou. Anyone have a pic of one, net search revealed nothing.

The interior needs to be done only if you need it perfect . I do not like the white paint either but why not drive the Hell out of it.?

Especially because this is not a standard 383 but a HP 383. IMO 2500 is insulting.

Right! That adds to the value of owning this car

 

[Welder guy]

I don’t like white but I like this car. It has some options I really like :A/C ,Tilt steering, electric windows, buckets,console, hp 383. And nobody cut a hole in the hood for a scoop. Lol. It’s going to be a nice car to the right person.

 

[PurpleBeeper]

Wow...I like the car! Convertible, 383, A/C....if it were a Roadrunner it would be worth $30k how it sits (I know it's not...but I like the car)

 

[commando1]

and you are gonna give it the standard Formal price ?

What a back-handed insult.

 

[david hill]

Appears to be a good candidate for restoration. The price is a bit high. Note the rust at the base of the b post. Known area for complete rust through. Needs eyes on it definitely. Trim condition a big plus. A very doable project.

I would not be bothered about the color except that an Earl or Miracle $99 paint job will start to fall off as soon as the car is gotten to the point that it can be driven. It will cost $4k-$6k just to get this car in decent paint. Somebody that thinks this car is a bargain at its asking price should get eyes on it and give it a good looking over if they are interested. I have always found it best to skeptical on the low side until I have complete information. I am also skeptical that the owner did not try to get the car to where it could started and at least be driven around the yard, that suggests that maybe there is a lot more wrong with the vehicle than a crappy paint job. (cracked block, dead transmission, blown rear end etc. who knows and how would you tell?) One way to hide obvious critical defects is to sell a non-runner.

You and others are correct that these cars are a highly desirable collector piece when solid, I am just not convinced about this particular one. And yes, it does have potential to be a fun driver and left as it is with the necessary repairs to make it road worthy.

A good car can be had by bad marketing.

I was hoping to see a B41 code.

 

['69FuryIIIConvertible]

That's a car worth the asking.

I wish mine was as well optioned, complete and good start.

If I was counting I have 1 or 2 times that in mine as it sits without counting my cost to chase parts all over the continent...

I believe the car would have to be really bad to not be worth $4900. With those desirable options, that is a price for a car in pretty bad condition already. In looking at the underhood, specifically the cowl and the tops of the fenders under the hood and the overall conditon of what appears to be original paint on the body code plate I would not expect this to be a rust bucket. There ought to be more corrosion evident than I am seeing in those areas. I also don't see a really bad lower B pillar either, rather it looks more like surface rust as opposed to bubbling from what is shown. But definitely worth an eyes on inspection, and/or some photos of the underside such as the inner rear quarter areas where bondo bucket fixers usually ignore those areas where they are not immediately obvious to someone casually looking at the car. I rarely see a Plymouth with all those options. And the 383-4 package is a delight to drive.

Looked at this car a couple months ago before it got cold. It is very solid. Only rust is basically what is shown. No rust through on the body anywhere that my dad or I found. Paint is there but does show its age. Interior is all there. Rear panels are coming off a little bit.

Car came from Western Colorado if I remember correctly. Owner was some guy that had bought a bunch of cars for his collection. Eventually died and the daughter sold off the collection.

Current owner says the motor spins free. Reason he hasn't done anything with it is basically he's been busy doing other things. It is stored inside his garage so its not really taking up a much needed space. He didn't seem to be in a hurry to sell it.
