NGC Silly Purchase

[Scout63]

I was driving to court the other day and saw an old car for sale in a front yard.  I showed my wife and friends and everyone said not to buy it.  So I did.  It’s a 65 Plymouth Sport Fury with a 383 big block and four speed.  Now I have to sell a half dozen bikes and clear out the garage. The dog voted for it.

Car found you!


……that’s always the explanation I’ve used to garner some empathy.

Looks great!

Cool Ride

Class….!

SWEET!

I agree with your wife and friends. 4 wheels is a step backwards from two. Certainly not worth sacrificing perfectly serviceable motorcycles for. As far as the dog"s vote goes; He only said "convertible" because you didn't offer him a sidecar rig.

CONGRATS!!!...and good for you!!   Nice looking classic!

You will have FUN with that convertible during the warm summer and cooler fall days.

Ben, Ben, Ben. You silly boy. I bet it was the fender skirts that made it irresistible. I'd love to see a picture of that with the Vincent.

  "Now I have to sell a half dozen bikes and clear out the garage."

Key sentence.  Get back to us in 6 months to let us know how that goes.

Very nice mopar!

Great purchase IMO. I love those old boats. Had, for a short time, a 1967 Dodge Polara (hardtop), what a great ride. Relaxing in all aspects.

That's very nice! I always thought that Chrysler Corp. cars were way ahead in body design during the mid 60's. Of course, technically,  engine, transmission, suspension, electrics, etc. they were way ahead since the early 60's. Good score!      IMHO, of course, YMMV! 

Yes, Mopar or no car!

Nice Car Ben! You don't need to sell bikes, you just need a bigger (or another) garage. 

[chuck peterson]

Beautiful, I love unmolested stock

I do believe you could play ping pong on that back trunk!





I go to a muscle car hangout Sunday afternoons…quite a few for sale as we age…

[Groover]

Technically, there is enough space that you could park the extra bikes in the car 

[Moparnut72]

Nice old Mopar. 1965 was a good year, the company had mostly recovered from Exner's antics. Quality was quite good and design had recovered from his wacked out from his Looney Tune work thanks to Pete.

     Beautiful and not silly at all. Low production (about 6000) convertibles, even less with the four speed and it was the Indy 500 pace car that year!

Silly alright. I just hope I don’t come across a ‘68 Coronet big block or i’d be silly . I had one, a SuperBee I shouldn’t have sold. Not a convertible though. That is a nice survivor!

[Tkelly]

My all time favorite car was a 65 Barracuda,small v8.Called it the Barracuda Motel Roadster,when the back seat went down ther was enough room for 2 to sleep in it,paid 100$ for it .

[Texas Turnip]

What do you mean silly? Or would you rather a shyster stock broker get all your money? I have tools and many gadgets that are seldom used, but IMHO it beats looking at a portfolio of stocks and bonds.

I'm happy for you ENJOY.

Planning for your non-riding days???     Looks like a great purchase.  Hope it's up to par with what you want.    

[adaven]

This won't be your last silly purchase. or your silliest, most likely. It is a beautiful automobile, you won't feel silly driving it.

[Vagrant]

I had a 64 and a 65 with the 383 and 4 speed. Drop the hammer in first and light up the rear tire through the first 3 gears! God, I miss that.

[Gliderjohn]

WOW! That's nice! My first car in high school was a 66 Fury hardtop but with the 318 auto. Yes, that trunk is huge. Great car on dates and at Drive In movies.

[Gliderjohn]

Oh, one other thing. Those cars were tough as nails. On my first college date in 73 had a drunk pull out in front of me in what at the time was a late model Buick GS. Long story short the Fury totaled his Buick and the Fury had $90 worth of damage. After the cops were done with us we continued on the date minus headlights on the left side.

When I saw that car, I thought of this…

If that is silly, what does smart look like..?

Don’t ya’ know you’re riding’ with the King….

[Ncdan]

If it wasn’t a MOPAR it would probably need to be deleted. 😂😂😂
Just funning!
