Comments

Grew up in the way way back seat of a 65 Fury II wagon, Mom traded in her special order 56 Belvedere 2dr in 64 for the 65 wagon. Dad got stationed in Germany so we had the 1st NEW car on base!
 
Very cool, my family also had Plymouth fury’s growing up. We had a 61 wagon, a 63 sedan, 68 fury three hardtop, 77 Fury salon.
I’ve also owned a 61 wagon, 63 hardtop, 68 sport fury convertible.
They are terrific cars. I think my favorite is the 318 engine in the 1968. Either way you have a very nice collection!
 
Very, very nice. There's a whole lot of work and devotion represented in those pictures. Yes, the 70 S23 is very cool.., and very popular. However, I particularly appreciate the 67's and 68 that you all have. I, apparently like your Step Dad, have had a love for 68 Furys since I was a kid. All my life, I always wanted one (like my Dad had). When I was 55, I finally broke bad and started spending the money, right before the 67-71 Fury Craze started. I'm glad I did it.., and when I did it. Your 70 is surely a head-turner in the true sense of the cliche -but for most people out there, the 67s and 68 is another kind of head-turner.., the one of when the dog hears a high pitch whistle! I am glad that there are at least a few of us who appreciate the unique 67 and 68 Furys. Good luck to you all. Keep them pretty. -Not Right (I don't know if my Garage Posting is still there, cuz it's been a few years since I posted it but you might want to check it out when you have time. It was listed as "This Old Barn" ((By Not Right)) ).

Now I see to check out your garage, it is very very nice. I like em all but really like the turquoise hardtop and the blue fast-top. I also posted a comment in your garage.
