      I don't know anything about the Plymouth Fury, other than it has a cool name, but this ticks a lot of boxes.

      Apparently the roof is shot, which I can't image would be totally straightforward to replace, but hot damn...

      Someone should buy this.

          just based on the one picture, "cleanish" might be more apt to describe the interior

            Might be sort of fun just as the old car experience and without getting all wound up about hot rodding or numbers matching deals.

              It's a 70's sedan. Its a boat. Literally a boat. You fire it up, step on the gas, the engine noise goes up and shortly later you notice you are moving. Just like a boat. You turn the wheel, and it leans a lot and shortly later you notice it is turning. Its a boat. You drive it and shortly later you notice that a quarter tank is gone. Its a boat.

              About the only thing you can praise a 70's sedan is you can carry five friends in the car and 4 more in the trunk. Also unlike a boat, it's impossible to capsize a 70's sedan.

              One last comment, unfortunately for Ted Kennedy, an Olds Delmont 88 is not a boat......

                  @akioohtori You could certainly do a whole lot worse for $1200 in this day and age. Peel the roof off and cover it with black bed liner, polish it up, and you'd maybe break even or make a little.

                    I'm not sure on that interior. Who would get green carpeting with a red exterior? Maybe it's not carpet. It could be moss, mold or algae.

                      The boat part was good and true but that last comment zings.

                        It's a couple years too new, sadly. '75 will have a catalytic converter, and probably a lean-burn carb/ignition, which together will choke that poor 318 down to about 140 horsepower, and stalling and vapor-lock are "normal.". You can undo all that, of course... but you probably wouldn't want to drive it as it is.

                        On the plus side, these handle (slightly) better than typical '70s American yachts, because the torsion bars are a little stiffer than the typical coil springs, so it won't roll quite so far in turns. And if you have to have an automatic, a 727 or 904 Torqueflite is one of only two acceptable possibilities (the other being a GM TH350 or 400).

                          I mean, I sure wouldn't... but that doesn't mean you shouldn't.

                          PS failed vinyl tops hold moisture in and usually rot out most of the metal thereunder

                          Craigslist will push me, and I'll say no; read my lips: no new projects.

                            Is it a good car? Not at all.
                            Is it a good car for $1200? Heck yeah!

                            I’d be concerned about mold given his description of the roof. If there’s mold you’re looking at needing to gut the interior, and for the cost of that and replacing the roof you could find something in better shape as a starting point.

                              These are kinda frumpy looking imo, definite step down from the '74.
