Trying to stand out during the Sixties was a tough thing thanks to the number of legendary cars that were leaving American manufacturers’ factory floors. The Ford Mustang stole the show and the Chevrolet Camaro followed. But amongst all this muscle car madness stood one car that could trade blows in terms of design and performance with the Mustang and Camaro whilst also being a somewhat practical car as well. The 4th generation Plymouth Fury was that car and for years, it never got the credit it deserved. Give it that credit now, and revel in high performance, luxury, and practicality with this 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury Coupe we have today. Located in Connecticut with just 98,600 miles on the clock this could potentially be the next hot Sixties muscle car investment.
The fourth generation of the Plymouth Fury saw a major redesign. The relaxed perception and looks were traded for a sportier persona thanks to new chief stylist Elwood Engel. You now got longer and straighter body lines and a host of exterior features to make it stand out. The red exterior on this 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury Coupe ensures that all these design features all stand out superbly. The car is all original with no modifications done to it. The chrome strip running around the car is in great shape too. The factory whitewalls and hubcaps are a thing of the past as this car rides on a set of Cragar-styled vintage wheels which compliments the sporty look. Pop the trunk and you see the spare wheel. Whilst the body styling and good looks were nice, where this 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury Coupe really shines in its interior. Stepping inside you are treated to a host of luxury components that were made standard on the Plymouth Sport Fury lineup. This car is equipped with a red interior that’s made to match the exterior. The interior is in great condition with the nickel and wood trim looking shiny and new. The car has its original rippled bucket seats which give you a sporty and luxurious feel to match your mood.
Although the Plymouth Fury belonged to a lineup that boasted luxury features in a large body, the 4th generation was far from that. In terms of engines, you could choose between 6 engine trims with the smallest one being an inline 6 engine. This 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury Coupe however sports a 383ci (6.3L) V8 engine that was meant to push out some serious performance. Power is sent to the rear wheels through 727 Torqueflite transmission. The engine and transmission in this car are reported to be numbers matching as well and highly tunable to make this car even faster.

Automakers don’t do silly things anymore. Like, say, create a muscle car and name it after a beloved cartoon character. Or spend a significant sum of money to buy the naming rights from the intellectual property holder of said character. Or spend even more money after that to develop a horn that sounds just like that character’s jaunty cry. That’s what Plymouth did in the Sixties, with the Road Runner. They paid Warner Brothers US$50,000 to license their Road Runner character’s name and likeness. Then, they spent a further $10,000 to develop a horn that said “Beep Beep” just like the character did on screen. Was it a success? You bet! In fact, if not for the Malaise Era’s impending arrival and renewed focus on fuel economy and emissions, the Road Runner might have run a little bit longer than 1980. Today, we have a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner for sale from Jacksonville, Florida. With a nice 383ci V8, an automatic gearbox and an aftermarket head unit from Pioneer, this 42,228-mile machine is a fine catch for a savvy collector of American classics – or someone who wants to start a collection.
Plymouth may no longer be around, but this storied American auto brand that was under Chrysler’s umbrella will perhaps be best remembered for their Road Runner muscle car. It may seem comical, naming a muscle car after a cartoon character – the Road Runner from the Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote cartoons by Warner Brothers. It might seem even more comical that Plymouth paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers to license the name for the car. And it might seem ridiculous that they spent an extra $10,000 merely to develop a horn that made the signature “Beep Beep” sound of the Road Runner from the cartoons. Remember, all this was in Sixties money, so you can do some calculations and see how much was actually spent by Plymouth to get this iconic muscle car as right as possible. Today, Road Runners are highly desirable, so we’re glad that one has come our way. This 1969 Plymouth Road Runner hails from Pittsburgh and has got a 383ci V8 engine under its hood. If you’d like to catch this bird, give us a call or shoot us a DM right now – don’t call the coyote who clearly needs some coaching.
Beep Beep! Move over, it’s the Road Runner! Named after the lovable Warner Brothers character from the Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons, Plymouth reportedly paid $50,000 to Warner Brothers for the right to use the Road Runner name and likeness. They spent a further $10,000 on development of a signature “Beep Beep” horn as well! Needless to say, the Road Runner was a massive success and remains one of America’s most loved muscle cars to this day. Now, we have a chance for one lucky enthusiast to get their hands on a massively upgraded 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Restomod from Milford, Pennsylvania. With its 440ci V8, Tremec TK500 5-speed manual transmission and Holley Six Pack Tri-Power system, this is one speedy car!
