The thing I like about this auctions is that it is a low starting bid and no reserve auction.
What it ends at will be a true indicator of what the market for a four door Formal in fairly nice condition.
I'll be watching it to get a true WIW.

Up for a NO RESERVE auction is an original 1977 Plymouth Gran Fury Brougham sedan. The Brougham package was the highest trim level available in the flagship Gran Fury. This specific example is a ONE OWNER from new with 75k original miles...and it shows. I have the original title from 05-05-1977. This Gran Fury comes from the estate of the original owner who died at the end of last year. As you can see, this car is in exceptional condition for an original car. It looks to have been garaged all of its life. The baby blue exterior shows very well. The body lines are nice and straight...and the gaps are even all around. The only visible rust is just a few small spots around the rear tires. The rockers look clean. The door bottoms look clean. The chrome bumpers shine like mirrors without even a hint of rust. The white landeau top also looks original and also shows very well. The original rallye wheels look new and are wrapped in a nice set of matching rubber all around. All of the glass and lenses are intact, too. It has a current PA inspection which leads me to believe that it has been well maintained all these years by the man who bought it new.
I would rate the interior of this Gran Fury to be in EXCELLENT ORIGINAL CONDITION. The door panels are clean and tight. The carpets show well throughout the interior. The solf velour seats also show very well and are comfortable. The dash is in perfect condition which further suggests that this Gran Fury has spent her whole life in a garage. The headliner is tight and clean. The original wood interior accents are all intact and show well. This is a very well optioned car. It has power windows, locks and drivers seat...all of which are in perfect working order. Even the original clock still works perfectly. The climate control system works as it should. I believe the air conditioner will need charged. It appears to still be using the old R12. The radio is original and features AM/FM with an 8 track player. I even found an old 8 track under the front seat. A full set of rubber floor mats are included. The trunk is spacious and clean...and works with the key as well as the popper inside. I also have multiple keys for this car that will go to the new owner.
Mechanically, this car appears to be in good running and driving condition. The 400ci V8 starts easily and runs smoothly. I did not see any leaks and the engine does not smoke. She handles the road pretty well for a 36 year old car. The suspension and steering feel okay. The brakes stop this giant car with no issues. The engine makes good power and sounds strong. I don't know much about carb's but it seems to be running fine. The automatic transmission engages smoothly and shifts properly. Out on the highway, she just glides down the road with a sense of grace that todays cars don't offer. The worst I can say about this car is that it looks as if one of the exhaust hangers is broken and will need replaced. The tail pipe moves around a bit...but the exhaust is intact and doesn't sound like it has any holes in it. This car gets looks everywhere I take it. These cars are getting hard to find...let alone an original, unmolested 75k mile example that is still on its original title. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding.
