1964 Plymouth Sport Fury Convertible

This was top of the line for Plymouth in 1964! 383 engine, beautiful underhood area, upholstery just like new...spotless exterior! What's not to like about this car! Definitely a history of Mopar performance...it shouldn't or wouldn't take a back seat to the emerging performance cars. Last year for pushbutton Torqueflite....this one has Hurst shifted 4 speed manual.

The '64's are really nice. For the entire Plymouth line.

@Lockemeister Hey, John! I'll agree to that...Plymouth had their styling sorted out very well by this time...they certainly had gone through extreme phases previously! Thanks! :) Jack

Jack, Beautiful '64 Sport Fury convertible, immaculate underhood condition. It should be noted that at some point (wisely, I might add) the original master cylinder was changed to a later dual reservior design. The vehicle does have the correct Anco pushbutton air foil wiper blades; rare and expensive these days. 3858 Sport Fury convertibles were produced in '64. A 383 4 speed is rare, Torque Flite was a popular transmission. These are the last of the 116" WB full sized Plymouths, very nice car.

@jferg7159 Hey, Joe! Yes indeed..I'll take the dual reservoir design anytime. We had a 64 Four door sedan..and I remember those airfoil Anco blades! Thanks for the stats...I was lucky to find this one! :) Jack

@gene978  Hey, Gene! It would be almost as dramatic a comparison as comparing those first compacts with the brass era cars! Back in those days, you were thankful for an electric starter! Thanks! :) Jack

@raconter1 Thanks for replying Jack. Yes, you could tell they really didn't want to make the Vega or Pinto and Chrysler imported the Colt. Till the Omni/Horizon came along. Boy oh boy can you imagine putting up today's compacts to any of these offering from the Big 3? That would be a Hoot! Never mind power windows and heated seats or airbags and traction control and ABS, and power sunroofs. I had a manual Flip up sunroof in my 80 Cougar XR-7 and no sun shade. :(

@gene978 Hey, Gene! I think car design is truly amazing...there's the natural progression of shape and function, and safety requirements, fuel economy and the financial strength of the car buying public. Then there's the matter of how much influence to put on alternative fuel. It is really a toss up now as everyone seems to be scrambling to get the bases covered. Years ago, Detroit really didn't want to make small cars...profit was in the big ones. Now it's not so simple! Thanks! :) Jack

@cheddyrod Hey, Chester! I sure wished for the opportunity to do that too! Some cars just beg to be driven!

Thanks! :) Jack

thought in this era of Plymouth they weren't sure to go smaller or larger they thought the people wanted smaller as did GM in 61 and then everyone said there goes our BIG cars. Then like you said 64 and 65 came and back to large cars. Remember the late 70's? I thought to myself OMG all cars are going to be small box type from now on. I thought I was born to late to enjoy "The REAL CARS" Now I look back and think cars are still in their infancy. It's only the first 100 years look at the changes

The styling of the Plymouth in 64 was really nice. Love the dash layout on this model. Now if I could only take this out for a little cruise.
