My step mother loved her fury three sedan. It was gold with a black top that looked and felt as if it were a vinyl but it was painted. The interior was green with an armrest center. 318 V8. She had itvfir about ten years by then thefurys were getting smaller and my dad told her to buy a caprice sedan from than on.
beautiful survivor! Back in the day, my family had one of these in slightly darker green metallic, as a station wagon, and it was so big you heard an echo inside. Lousy parts quality: in the first year, the windscreen teared after using the heater full-blast in the winter, and the tank sprung a leak. Going on vacation, you always knew there was going to be some adventure involved. And you took off the carb cover while the engine was running, it looked like somebody flushing the toilet. One forgets how bad cars were back then.
you mention only the Fury I, II and III - other models included the Sport Fury, VIP and station wagon models - Sport Suburban, Custom Suburban and Suburban trim levels
the “Commando V8” front fender badging is missing that would have been integrated with the metal side moldings - this vinyl side molding was not available in 1968 - there should also be engine displacement information on the aft side of the hood ornament visible by the driver
it's a low budget repaint, right front fender gold pentastar is missing as well as the chrome fender trim standard in the III's, hood ornament is also not present. That and studded snows says be careful for bondo at that price. Shoulder belts were an option only on the III and came with a passenger door side mirror with the package, presents nice but a Mopar guy is gonna microscope this before dropping 12 large. I know, I am one. I'd be all in at $6,000. Anyway, nice survivor and I give the guy much respect for trying, it just doesn't make the grade at 12 5.
Yup....You would have to put another 12 grand into this cool car, if you wanted to make it a daily cruiser! Back then, a car lasting much more than 100 thousand miles, was considered "just about used up!"

10 Grand Car! maybe a little more. Years ago this would have been a $2000 car.

My family had a 1968 Fury III, with the 383/ 2bbl. The side moulding on the front fenders had the "commando V8" badge, which this doesn't have...???
This one is also a 383 2bbl, Commando also.
So the 440 V8 would’ve been the Super Commando?
@@bradhampton6457 YES.
@@JrGoonior but no badge
Stand-up car.
Fury ran until 1988
