Maybe you found an early “Plymouth” Super Bee 
Cars looks pretty solid and complete. Nice on the NOS fender.

Yeah just too bad the engine wasn’t still there so I could know for sure if it had a 383 or 413 (Canadian built so no 426 wedge option)
Doesn’t have normal fender tag it’s an aluminum one think it must be Canadian thing

This is the fender tag that is on the car
The build sheet on my parts car was under the carpet directly under the passenger side front seat.

Either spot had no chance of survival on this one!
Most build sheets I’ve found in the rear seat. However I found part of one rolled and taped to the steering column wiring harness (71 Satellite Sebring) and I found the remains of one under the passenger seat like you found (68 Valiant Signet)
Well to clarify I should have said a portion of the build sheet haha

I can't say I have ever seen a fender tag like that!

Haha for some reason it seems a car that is totally screwed will have a mint broadcast sheet

Yep I was like wtf is this haha doesn’t appear to have any engine info on it. That’s the last thing I need to figure out. It had either a 383 or 413 in it so I assume it was a 383 but no way to know for sure.

I would imagine this is what parked the Fury in ‘75. Hood slammed open into windshield

Forgot about ABC. I met him at a swap meet in Indy, he's a pretty nice guy.
He does the side filler pieces for beside the back seats, too.
When you go to replace your doorpanels, be aware that your panels have the Fury III-style stainless trim, which I presume was used in the Canadian-built cars?
Legendary has listings for doorpanels for some C-bodies, too.

Good to know. From what I’ve found Canadian Sport Fury’s were a package that could be ordered on top of the Fury III unlike the US were it was a separate model. Rear wheel skirts were optional not standard on the Canadian ones too.

Hmmm. Maybe that explains the 'Sports Fury III' thing that drives us Americans crazy.
It does seem like the emblem is maybe the only difference between your doorpanel and an F3's, maybe that was a way to reduce inventory/increase flexibility at an assembly plant. Would makes the Parts Books confusing, though!

Canada had to pay tariffs on parts until they signed an auto pact agreement in 65 or 66. Before that they would try and use the same parts for different models to keep costs down. A few examples are the early Canadian valiants basically being US market darts rebranded as Plymouth and 65 dodge c bodies having Plymouth dashes. It does get confusing. And finding information on Canadian stuff is next to impossible, luckily I got some info on the Canadian Fury from a couple guys on this site.

No. It comes from this.
People are stupid. So stupid, that I have even seen "SPORT FURY III" on titles.

Picked up 3 413 blocks (2 forged cranks) and one 383 block with forged crank. Two of the 413’s are seized but I got all 4 engines for $150 so can’t complain. Being that the 383 is a 1965 casting I’m leaning towards building that one for the Sport Fury.
The 383 is a wise choice. Being a 65 block it will have the left side motor mount boss that will mate wit the stub frame.

That’s awesome!!
I picked up a 65 Fury 3 years ago. I just started working on her a couple months ago.
Mine hasn’t been registered since 1972.
The bottom of the fuel tank is rusted out. Tanks are available but pricey. It’s a 1 year only tank due to the side filler neck instead of behind the license plate. I will be watching your progress!!
Again awesome find!!
