NOT MINE WOW - 66 VIP in Colorado - gorgeous - NOT MINE - $12,500

NOT MINE

Holy moly this is gorgeous. Somebody needs to rescue this one, as it's rare the way it's optioned - including the colour. Click on the FB f in the right corner of the ad pic to access the ad on FB.



Loaded - AC, tilt/tele, power windows, bench and locks, AM/FM with rear seat speaker, turbine wheel covers, bumper guards, reading lights, cigar lighter in the rear of the front seat for the rear seat passengers, door pulls (lights and pulls are VIP only). No Autopilot, or reverb that I can see - reverb may be there. Possibly vacuum trunk release, but not able to see for sure. It has the clip on the trunk hinge, but that may be only holding the wiring for the inner tail lights and reverse lights.

Sure looks like there is a tilt ant tele wheel too.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

I meant to include that - thanks! Edited!

The color is a huge plus for sure! however it's a huge minus when it comes to repairing the damage on the right side. Matching or blending the paint will be a major pain in the butt.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Agreed - but such is life. One couldn't build one as nice for the price, even when one adds in the cost of getting the damage repaired, and cleaning up the AC etc. I adore the colour.

Here are more pics from their ad:

Beautiful uncracked T/T wheel with emblem!

Nice gauges - confirms there is no Autopilot option, but it does have 4 way flashers.

Trunk - can't see the reverb if there is one, and not sure if there's a vacuum trunk release - it has the clip, but that could just be for the wiring. Car also has trunk light!

Interestingly, what I don't see and I would expect in a car of this level is the hood silencer pad - and no evidence that one was ever there.

What a deal for such a clean and loaded car in nice shape. Classy looking vehicle.

so the single snorkel means a 383 2bbl?

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Likely. He's added duals.

Yes 383 2bbl

@the dude - Hey Drew - is this you?

Nice car! It has to have the trunk release, what else would that hose that sneaks around the hinge be for?

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

Tail light and backup light wiring - just a thought...

Sure enough, I didn’t refer to the pics to see lights actually housed in the trunk lid.

Looks like a very nice car, needing a few things. As I recall, that silver color was a Spring Special color, which was also on a lot of "special option package" Fury III cars, too. Looked really nice. Forgot about the spare tire cover that matched the trunk mat. Being a Plymouth, it would not be carpet, but still looks decent. Personally, I would be more worried about any damage to the rh frt door hinges. Paint can be played with to get it right. By the same token, even if the paint was a perfect match for color and metallic content "placement", it would still show evidence of repair in the future as the rest of the paint continued to color-shift and the new paint begins its aging process, too. Not really good dynamics to me, but I've seen it happen. That car needs a loving home!

Just some thoughts,

Maybe he's open to offers.

 

[Ross Wooldridge]

He is. He just joined here, so you can reach out to him @the dude

Just came from Hamtramck-Historical, where I read through the '66 VIP sections. The hood insulator pad was paired with Factory Undercoat as a stand-alone option package. There was ONE 440, the 440/365 motor, which had a 4-speed manual trans as standard (lesser motors had the normal 3-speed manual trans as base equipment).

As a side note, with no factory undercoat, being in CO might be a possible issue? Which is where the vehicle's history might be important.

Just some thoughts,

Cool!

Beautiful car. Fully loaded with options too. I have to agree with it being a spring special because of the body color & white headliner & sun visors. AM/FM radio wasn’t a widely popular option back then either. Sure it may not be perfect. That damage on the right front door may take some skill to fix and I didn’t see a pentastar on the lower right fender. I know, that’s getting picky. VIPs were a lower production model than the other Fury’s. I always loved the 4 door hard top model too. Such a classy looking car.
