Plymouth launched the 426 Street Hemi in 1966 but this Fury III four door, Slant Six sedan - Plymouth’s largest car with its smallest engine - proves not everyone wanted a muscle car. And what did the instrument panel look like if you didn’t order a factory radio? This oddball Plymouth tells the story.

I was born in 62. My father was a Fuller brush salesman and district manager he bought brand new a 65 Fury one 2 door with a 225 slant 6 no power steering. He squeezed 150,000 miles out of it and sold it in December of 69 to someone who needed a large car. My mom learned how to drive standard shift in that car. The next car he bought a 69 Fury that's another story. We loved all of our Furys'!

My Dad bought a 65 Fury 4 Dr. 225, auto. 98K miles. Had original brakes. Never been sat in the back. Original owner bought 3 identical cars when he retired from Chrysler. Left one in Dearborn, one in Florida, we got the back and forth car. My sisters and I drove it for another 240K before we retired it. Never had the head off. One water pump. Brakes, tune ups, belts, usual wear and tear stuff. Best car we ever owned. Fast enough for kids. Good mileage.

Fabulous. In new Zealand, we had the Valiant VIP, and I owned one that was 1970, Australian made, with bucket leather seats, floor shift automatic, and 318. Blissful memories and a great ride. This one was converted to CNG and ran on both happily, with its long stroke and iron engine. Slant 6's in New Zealand are still a legend. The 225 in Australia and New Zealand, was a championship engine, with extra carbs. This car you are featured, is pretty much the same shape and design as the Australian editions.

The Certicard is a real find. So, we got the VIN, we win: P for Plymouth Fury, looks like H for high price class, 41 for four door sedan, B for 225 CID slant six with one barrel, aka "Leaning Tower of Power", 6 for 1966 model year, 2 for Hamtramck, MI assembly and the rest is the production sequence. The Hamtramck plant was also called "Dodge Main" or "Factory Zero" and closed in 1980. The GM Detroit/Hamtramck, MI plant occupies part of that property now and opened in 1985 to produce front wheel drive downsized models. It had an area called "The Playpen" where employees could build, design and work on their own stuff after hours. It was a city within a city. I worked at an automotive parts maker for a number of years that was just like Dodge Main and we took had an area called "The Lab" where we worked on our own projects and helped each other out with whatever the other guy was working on. Should be code "X" Beige exterior paint.

@@stevenrodriguez7668 For a 1966 Plymouth, the VIN is on the driver's door post, and in some years it is also on the trim tag under the hood. It would have been on the original sales paperwork and the dealer submitted that information to Chrysler for the Certicard to be imprinted with the vehicle and owner's information. As Mr. Magnante stated, it was provided when the vehicle was brought in for service to verify ownership, warranty start date, owner information, etc.

In Australia these were sold and badged as Dodge Phoenix. They were the prestigious top of the line model with a different dash to plymouth and had very luxurious interiors, all were 318 V8 Auto with power steering and brakes and the push button radio was standard, but no clock. In 1966 In Australia if you walked into a Chrysler dealership; this was the most expensive mopar you could buy back then, even more expensive than the Humber super snipe which Chrysler assembled and sold in Australia as well!

Hello bk14nyc, you just hit a special nerve with me in mentioning your '67 440 C-body. IS IT A 4-SPEED??? If so, I was thrilled a few years ago to solve a Mopar Mystery on an episode of Roadkill's Junkyard Gold when at Stephens Auto Wrecking in Anderson, Alabama we featured a 1967 Sport Fury convertible 440 FOUR SPEED. What rear axle???? B-Body 440 4-speeds (and Hemi 4-speeds) got a Dana 60. But what about the larger C-body? Did Spicer / Dana tool up a special extra-wide Dana 60 for these 4-speed RB motor applications? NO!!! They used the Dana Model 53 rear axle which was also used under certain Mercury and Lincoln cars of the 1959-1965 era. I made the junkyard owner lift the tail of the '67 Fury 440 4-speed up on some tires so we could PUT THE CAMERA ON THAT DANA 53 to once and for all, show exactly what type of rear axle was used under 1967 C-body 440 4-speed applications (all 100 of them - a guessed number but NOT much larger I'd bet). If you get a chance, go to the Motor Trend app and seek out the Roadkill's Junkyard Gold episode called "C-Body Muscle" or something like that. You'll probably enjoy the 27 minute episode on C-body performance car discoveries - including a 1970 Sport Fury S/23 and manual transmission 1969 Monack 383 convertible.

She got it for Christmas of 62 (her husband passed a few years later) and she kept it until the day she died, in the early 2000s. Four door, radio delete, vinyl floor mats, 225 slant six, three on the tree and no power anything. When I got it the body was really toasted but the interior was mint. And all of the mechanicals were sound, nice tight front end and new brake system front to back, lines and all.

Indeed Sir, I bring PROPS that help tell the story when I can find a good match in my collection of stuff at home. THANKS for writing, Steve Magnante

Hello, THANKS for watching and writing. There are occasions where it might appear that the vintage stuff found in certain cars was there all along. That's NOT intended. I often bring "supporting items" a.k.a. props to help tell the story of the subject vehicle. Initially I assumed nobody would think I was attempting to portray the notion that a crisp example of the December 1959 issue of Motor Trend magazine would be found in the open trunk of a rotten '59 BelAir (or whatever). It isn't logical. But I think what has happened is the age of "reality TV" - wherein concocted drama has become commonplace - some viewers assume my use of certain props is more of the same. In the end, I'm a reporter and I like to use whatever I can to fill in the blanks - such as I can get much done in a 10 minute video! Thanks though for considering this topic and THANKS for watching and writing, Steve Magnante

Finally, someone explains what the VIP badge actually means, after I've heard every BS story about them that ever was. One person even told me that the Plymouth VIP's were govt. contract cars labeled for politicians-lol. I guess the 442 was not the most misinterpreted label in the automotive world, as the VIP won that trophy.

It is even worse in Mercedes land. The early 90's S class ( W140 body ) had 3/4" thick double glass ( like a double pane house window ) . Lots of for sale ads claim this is bullet proof, it isn't. This was done for sound reduction. Now, there was a factory " guard " version that was lightly armored but nowhere near as strong as a real armored car.

The same in the Pontiac world such as "Bandit Trans Am" (no such thing from GM, only aftermarkets did that. They were Black SE cars from GM). Or "Pontiac big block" (Pontiac didn't use small and big block designations for their engines.). The list goes on and on. It's all rooted in what someone heard someone say and "I have it on good authority that.....". No. Facts tell the story.

The VIPs were like baby Imperials. It was a direct response to the New for 1965 Ford Galaxie LTD which became a stand alone car and the 1966 Chevrolet Caprice. The idea was to bring luxury to affordable cars. Look at some Rambler Ambassador commercials on You Tube from about 1965/6 that said why wait til your old to have your first luxury car. The sixties were a great time for automobiles. You could get anything you wanted, unlike today where everything is a package.

Great car. My neighbors had one of these. Wasn't the 361 still available for 1966? I have a 1966 Plymouth shop manual, and the 440 isn't mentioned. Maybe there was a supplement for it later on. It does mention the 426 wedge engine. I also have a 1964 manual, and the 273 V8 isn't mentioned there as well. I have read several Motor Trend magazines from that time period. There was a reader "Q&A" section. I believe that it was called "Car Clinic." Several readers complained that their C-Body car was too underpowered with the 225 six. Motor Trend usually gave the same response, in that they felt the 318 poly V8 should have been the base engine for C-Body cars. Maybe a 273 would have work as well.1966 was the final year for the 318 poly. It changed to the LA block for 1967. The "radio delete" option was common. The buyer could have the dealer install the radio. They also had a fake looking clock that would be there in place of the real clock if it wasn't there. It even lit up when the lights were turned on.
