Many people believe the Fury was a different beast from the Chevrolet Impala, despite fighting for the same audience, especially when the fourth generation came to be, based on the full-size Chrysler C-body platform.
Unfortunately, the new Fury did not stand a chance against the Impala. Chevrolet's big boy was already a hit, and 1965 witnessed this model's pinnacle. Impala propelled Chevy's full-size sales to well over 1 million units in a single year, becoming the first model to do so after World War II.
The Fury was reinvented for the model year 1965, hitting the streets in three configurations, intuitively called Fury I, Fury II, and Fury III. The difference was simple: these three monikers were trim levels, so if you wanted the best of the best, you had to go for a Fury III.
A Fury III is sitting right here on a trailer, likely after spending decades in what looks to be a junkyard full of other classics. eBay seller surfinmore doesn't share any other specifics, but they are willing to sell the car to anyone paying at least the price of an iPhone 15 Pro. The bidding starts at $995 and comes without a reserve, so whoever sends at least one offer can take this rough Fury home.
Now, let's spend a couple of minutes trying to answer the question in everybody's mind and describe the car's condition. The Fury III still has an engine under the hood, but it looks wrecked, and I wouldn't expect it to be working. The seller says the car can only be used for parts, and I think they're correct. The vehicle looks rough, so only the bravest would try to bring this Fury III back to the road.
Such a project doesn't make much sense unless this Fury is rare and has the potential to become a collectible. It doesn't, so the buyer will certainly use it for parts.
The good news is the Fury looks mostly complete, and despite the horrible shape, it has the bumpers, the headlights, the grille (which is incredibly hard to find for a 1966 MY), and other miscellaneous parts in the trunk. The doors are locked, so we're not getting a closer look at the cabin, but I don't expect better news inside.
The Fury is certainly an awfully difficult project, but if you're trying to save another 1966 Plymouth, it could be worth a second chance. Unfortunately, taking it home is also going to be a challenge, as the wheels don't roll, clearly resulting from the car sitting for so long under the clear sky. You can see it in person in Summerville, with the no-reserve bidding scheduled to end in just four days.
