I would like to introduce my 1972 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe. You will already know him from this thread.
NOT MINE - 1972 Plymouth Fury Gran Coupe - $12,500 - El Cerrito, California
About the history I know unfortunately almost nothing only that what was in the craiglist and eBay ad.
According to the US Title it was built in 1971. When he was registered for the first time I do not know. On 20.11.2019 was a transfer date and the title expired on 26.06.2020. Also, on the Title in the field "MO" the letters "AK" and in the field "class" the letters "AX" for what does that stand?
It seems that it was stored in a garage since the end of the 80s. Until when exactly is not known to me. However, it was sold this year to a dealer??? which sold it to Owl Eyes. But it seems that he sold it to Netherland. Where I then found him on ebay and drove with a buddy across Germany to Netherland to look at him. We drove 1600km (994 miles) in one day. The Fury was in such good condition and the test drive was great so I bought it right away. Driving home with him was unfortunately not possible. So the seller let me deliver him with a shipping company. I have him immediately delivered to a workshop. Where now the conversion for the German roads is made.
For this reason, I do not have many pictures of the Fury. But I put a few purely from the ebay ad from Netherland were and which I have made on arrival in Germany.
now a few more data
Engine: 360cui
Transmission: 3 speed automatic
miles: approx. 33.000
horse power: 175
tire: white letters 245/60/R15
special equipment:
-power windows
-power driver seat
-flip headlights
-cruise control
-road wheels
-air conditioning
-tilt steering wheel with rim blow switch (the original horn is unfortunately defective)
-bumper guards
-fender mounted turn signal indicators
-power front disc brakes
what ist not original
Unfortunately, some radio/cassette deck was bolted onto the center tunnel, as well as non-original speakers in the rear.
But now to the essentials. Pictures say more than a thousand words.
A picture from the ad from Craiglist with original license plate. Which I would absolutely like to have. Also a replica would be ok. I am grateful for any help.
A picture from the ebay ad from America
Here are pics from ebay from Netherland
Departure to Germany
And here are some pics from the arrival in Germany.
I now put my bodyplate in as a picture. Unfortunately, you can not see everything here 100%. If there are ambiguities I have to make another picture when I have the car with me.
Some codes I have already decoded. Can you please check this again. And the missing please complete? with a few characters I am not quite sure. There I have made a "?" [edit: thanks on ayilar and Locu Mob for the help!]
Its right that my Furys Birthday on 20.october 1971 is? Stand the building year also on the body plate?

2 questions at the edge I just have.
which models had the flip headlights and which had the chrome rear bumper with the plastic part? Like mine. Only the gran coupes?
[edit: this pic are a perfect answer for my question - I assume that only the Gran Coupe has the flip headlights and the trim on the rear bumber]
[edit 2: I have now read that the hidden headlights was standard equipmemnt in Gran Coupe and Gran Sedan. And later available as an option by Fury III and Custom Suburban.
