'66 Sport Fury Convertible---What's it Worth?

[Harold]

I'm thinking about selling my '66 SF convertible and am trying to come up with a value for it. The car has been sitting (mostly in a garage) for a very long time. It has a 383 with automatic, power steering and manual brakes, factory red with a black vinyl interior, and a torn white top that I think is original. It hasn't run since the late 1990's but I had it cranking earlier this year. It's complete down to the fender skirts but needs total restoration. I have a new exhaust system and replacement rear bumper to go with the car. One section of floor pan (passenger's side rear)is rusted out. I have a clear NJ title in my name, so the buyer wouldn't have to jump through hoops getting paperwork for it.

What's a fair value for it?

Thanks,
Harold

Sold one in a little worse shape last year for $2500. It was a 318 yellow car though.

The inspection sticker is still on the passenger side . Exactly how long has she been off the road? Late 80s?

I would say not more than $3K the way it sits and you could potentially double that if you got it running/roadworthy.

As-shown, not much.
Each additional pic will help push up the price.

I dont think there's much more to be had by photos or even in getting it running. Needing a top and a hole in the floor tells the story. twenty five hundred is it, max.

There was a 66 383 Sport Fury vert was for sale at the Don Gartlits Mopar show a few weeks ago. It is a decent driver but not perfect. Owner was begging passers by to make an offer saying he wanted to drive home in a rental car. Asking price was $14500.00.

The sticker is from 1982-83 and I got the car in 1985. I had it running and local driving occasionally through the late 1990's then we moved to Jersey and it's been sitting.

 

[polara71]

where are you located in Jersey ?

 

[Harold]

Freehold. Where are you?

 

[polara71]

Camden County, Somerdale area

Freehold. Where are you?

Used to hang out at Steve's burger joint on Rt.9 in Howell(now Boston Market,I believe)back in the very late '80's early '90's when I had my '66 Satellite Vert 4-speed car.

Nice car. Why not get her going again?

We're empty-nesters now and want to downsize. I have two other old Plymouths (a '51 business coupe and '52 sedan, both need work) and we can't move with 3 extra cars. I regret not doing the car, but that's water under the bridge. This one is the most desirable so should be the easiest to sell.

FWIW, I'd sell the other two and use those funds to get the 'vert going again.

I'm not a potential buyer but Id still like to see a pic of the biznezz coupe.

It's a 3-window coupe with a big trunk. Sorry for the old picture. Can't appreciate the look at this angle.

Between the Fury and the business coupe, I'd probably go with the coupe.
I can look at at 1,000 Furys for sale but not many coupes.
