    I like US things, cars too. I've been just once, in Houston 2007. Our cars was and they still are like toys compared with yours. Back then, 100 hp car we considered for a race car. Since I'm living in Macedonia (small leftover of Yugoslavia) in that time we used to have some Russian cars too. About rust: new, brand new Russian car back then was coming with rust (like additional equipment :) ). Body rust holes repairs was regular service...
    Great regards from Macedonia, love US

    People forget that the Chrysler cars were already leading the way in engineering, power compression ratios and innovation before the fuselage bodies premiered in '69, which not only were far better looking than anything GM was offering, but were functionally superior as well. Chevy and all of GM was just coasting along on ancient platforms, making styling changes but doing nothing truly revolutionary. When Chrysler made changes, they were FUNCTIONAL and meant something important to the safety, driver convenience or technical aspects that made for a better driving and riding experience. Chevy just wanted to get cars out as cheaply as possible, and offered a bare bones car in comparison to what Chrysler-plymouth-Dodge was putting out at the same price-points. Plus, these cars were made with some of the best parts, engineered to last much longer than anything from Ford or GM. Chevy had you coming in for service CONSTANTLY, just for preventive maintenance while Chrysler's preventive maintenance meant doing NOTHING for long period of time, because the cars were engineered for long life without constant need of service, saving customers HUGE amounts of money over the life of the car.

      Family drove Mopar almost exclusively. Great cars, solid engines, horrible alternators and starters. Always kept a spare ballast resistor in the glove box. The 60s Mopars were better made than the 70s models. Dont even bring up the 80s!

      I think you are waxing a bit nostalgic. The late 60’s early 70’s Mopars were attractive and they had solid drivetrains but, so did everyone else. Mopar fell way short in build quality and that is universally known.
      GM and Ford vehicles also were generally more expensive than Mopar but outsold them by wide margins and that is no mistake. ( they made attractive well built vehicles ) GM, a HUGE corporation, generally was conservative, always looking at the big picture. Smaller manufacturers had the luxury of producing peripheral offerings ( Hemi , flamboyant styling, turbine, winged cars etc ) and those were cool. 68-70 Chargers and Fury are some of best looking cars ever. GM and Ford had Hemi’s, turbines and rotaries wild styling in their engineering departments also but decided correctly, not to produce them as they were money losers. GM pulled out of racing in the late 50’s but still ruled the auto industry. GM wasn’t perfect ( I think the beans counters ruled too much ) Ford and GM had their fingers on the pulse of market and it paid off.

Didn’t say how the fuel mileage suffered because EVERYTHING bigger makes it hard to park, lousy mileage and the fact that my 70 dodge Super Bee lived its first three years in El Paso TX and had already started rusting. They have all made some great cars and some turds. Ad’s like these are always biased. Oh, the Impala could be had with an LS6 454 making well over 450 hp.

      @@kenswitzer4133 I didn't say all Fury's had hideaway lights. I said I like them just like I like hideaway lights on a 68/69 GTO. But not all of them had hideaways. As far as rust, my dad bought a 73 Chevy truck in 1973. When he traded it off in 1978 it was rusted completely apart. I bought a 73 Chevy truck in 2004 from the original owner. It had the original paint and only had one small spot of rust behind each wheel opening in the bed only, about the size of a .50 cent piece. So why do some vehicles rust and identical vehicles don't? I don't know but I have a 70 Challenger setting in my shop right now that has never been restored and has a perfect floor and trunk pans, no rust anywhere except the torsion cross member. Finally, the most powerful engine available in the 1970 Impala was the 390 horsepower 454 .The LS6 was only available in the Chevelle that year. That's a lot of power and more than available in a Fury but not 450 horsepower.

    • @kenswitzer4133
      @kenswitzer4133 4 года назад

      1967davethewave I did a search and the LS6 was offered but very few were ever sold. A friend of mine bought a 1967 Impala with the 427 and for the times it was pretty fast. Wasn’t trying to start an argument. I have had all of them and as I said they have ALL made some great ones. Especially the fifties and sixties. Even though the Super Bee had some rust I cleaned it and prepped it and a friend did the touch up. Kept it nine years and never another spot of rust. I hated to get rid of it but it wasn’t practical for a family with two kids. My Wife even tested up when it left. Don’t get me wrong, I am a big fan of the MOPAR muscle. They are still awesome. This guy said Plymouth had more powerful engines. They did have a few but the 283 was the first to make one ho per cubic inch. If you haven’t figured it out yet, I have been a Chevy, not so much GM fan since the sixties and can tell you I know from experience some of the shortfalls of the Chevies. Have A Great Day.👍🇺🇸🤙😃

  • @SammyVista1972
    @SammyVista1972 4 года назад +7

    Family members back in the day had both models. The 1970 Chev rode very well, was quite sturdy and trouble free. The A/C froze you and the heater roasted you. For the day, the body held up well, and, true to Delco electrics, the car would start and run well in the worst of conditions. It had a big block of some sort, I think a 402. It moved the car very well. Two uncles had a 1969 New Yorker 4-door hardtop and a 1971 Fury 3 2-door hardtop. This one had early BF Goodrich radial tires on it as this uncle did a lot of milea. I will say the 2 Mopar vehicles were very capable road machines, handled well, but were not as quiet or tight feeling on the road, but one felt very safe in them at high speed. They went where they were pointed. Both had 383 engines. The only problem was damp weather starting fits, ballast resistor spares were kept in the glovebox. Not much could take on Delco electrics back then. Plymouth, Chevy, and Canadian Pontiacs (Chevy chassis in disguise) were used a lot, being the majority choice for taxi use by the industry in Montreal at the time when I lived there.

    That Grand Fury III Sport is such an awesome looking full sized car! I’ve owned one and a good friend has owned one. Mine I bought for daily use in 1975, while stationed at Ft Carson, CO. In The U.S.Army. I bought off the original owner a municipality called Cripple Creek, an old mining town at the western foot of Pikes Peak. That had only 45,000 miles, but was only a 2dr Fury I, that was used by the Police Chief, that usually bought when the 6 year upgrade came around, but OPEC brought gas to $.70/gal overnight from $.50, so he had no need for a 2dr that got 8-16mpg! So I ended up with a fantastic road trip machine for three-four friend who shared gas expenses to road trip on weekends, in roomy comfort. The car did however have a honking 440,4 brl TNT engine with huge dual exhaust, plus a sweet 3:09 Posi rear, with HD Suspension and HD cop brakes, disks on front. I also cranked up the front torsion bars, plus added a rear leaf in the spring pack, that with the biggest KONI Shocks I’ve ever seen with the Police Suspension and rear sway bar made that big car handle great on mountain roads, paved and dirt, especially with the huge Firestone Town&Country Mud&Snow tires I put on the rear and matching reg tread on the front. We had so much fun traveling all around The Rocky Mountains together! Then after I was Honorably Discharged and returned home to R.I. and nearby Mass a good friend of mine bough a beautiful car just like the one pictured from the video. It was a 1970 Fury III Sport 2dr with a beautiful white and red interior with white bucket seats. Plus the same 440 TNT I had in my 69! That I talked him into setting up just like the one in pictures I showed him. He bought it so he could carry all his SCUBA diving equipment, plus 12’ inflatable Zodiac raft with 35 hp Chrysler outboard! That all fit in the huge trunk!

    *I know it's easy to demonstrate with any comparison test like this that your car the better designed and engineered automobile of the two, but, I have to admit that the Chrysler products of the 70's were not only better looking, but also larger and more powerful than Chevrolet as well. BTW., Who in the world would want a six-banger in a huge beast like that? You could barely get the thing up a hill! lol. I had a early-1970's (forget the year just now, 72-73 maybe) metallic green Chrysler Town & Country wagon, with every bell and whistle they offered, what a car! It was indestructible! It had a 440-ci that roared and pushed you back in your seat when you kicked it in the butt! And that thing was as heavy as they made them too. I'd love to have an older American car today. Compared to the plastic motorized computer chips I drive now, it would be nice to have a big, basic, simple, classy and POWERFUL good ole American car again. Said the old Baby Boomer lol.*

It's the poor Police Officers that pay the price, no wonder so many of them were on the take back then, it wouldn't even have been worth chasing the bad guys back then, not in a weak six-cyl, just take the bribe and let 'em go, they are going to outrun us anyway lol.*

    No wonder Mopar had the police/taxi side of things pretty well wrapped up. Both Mopar & Ford had a good 1970 as GM had that lengthy strike that year. An area where Chevrolet benefitted was there was no clock on the Sport Fury. It was fitted as standard on the Caprice. Also the rear-view mirror was bigger on the Chevy. They said it was a downside but did eliminate more blind-spots when looking into it.

    Charlie is smarter than many folks and on taste? He has some!..compared to some of the comment posters below.
    Go watch a Chevy video..trolling is a waste of everyone's time.
    The Fury was years ahead of Brand X..on engineering, ergonomics and overall driveability and handling and as Charlie states..way lower maintenance!
    Who wants to change the trans fluid & filter every 12k?
    Sure, looks are mostly of personal choice, but much of why the Fury looks how it does, is form following function.
    I grew up when cars of this era were new, being born in '66, in Wisconsin..all I can say is, sans revisionist history or malarkey, the MoPars held up much better in terms of things like bumpers not falling off after a few years of salty winters and much more durable drivetrains and suspension systems, not even a comparison to anything else you could name.
