Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury For $39,900?
Nice Price Or Crack Pipe: 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury For $39,900?-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:10:19

The vast majority of you feel that $5,300.83 is , but what happens when you consider a super-rare, numbers-matching Detroit classic… for more than seven times as much?

That's what we've got here; it's a car that only the most maniacally anti-Detroit gearhead wouldn't love. It's a one-of-three-made, build-sheet-included, 426 Wedge-powered 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury. Now, the car show judges won't like that $10,000 paint job (to please them, you need to have period-correct factory orange peel, complete with embedded Old Gold ashes that fell off the gasper clenched in the jaws of the gnarled old Chrysler paint-shop dude who shot the original paint back in 1964), but everyone else will think it looks mighty sharp. The interior is original except for the carpeting, the engine and transmission have been rebuilt, and the whole package looks to be just beautiful. You'd definitely stand out from all those dime-a-dozen Mopar B-Body guys with this big Plymouth! Thing is, $39,900 is a helluva lot of money, especially now that everyone is preparing for the Total Collapse-O-Society™, researching good recipes for pigeon stew and rat tapenade and so on. What do you think?

Do you like classic rock? How about classic VWs? Today's classic rock radio station promotional VW brings them together in one KISS-themed package. Its price however may be the KISS of death. Where would classic rock be without the British? From the Beatles to England Dan and John Ford (Prefect)...

The P71 package upgraded pretty much all the Crown Vic's hardware for police duty, with the exception of the engine's cylinder count. Today's Crown Vic rectifies that oversight with a Triton Ten under its hood, but does its price tag also have too many added numbers? The reality TV show...

For a nation known for its inclement weather, Great Britain sure built a lot of great cars for enjoying the sunshine. Today's Triumph looks to be a shining example of just such a car, the question of course is whether buying it would be such a bright idea. Real Porsche...

Following the 2002, the E21 3-series was seen as a lackluster successor, especially in its 4-cylinder only U.S. guise. Fortunately today's E21 is said to carry the silky smooth 323 motor, and more fortunately, the rare Baur targa top. Will its price however drop it back to traditional levels of...

McLaren MP4-12C: The Jalopnik Review
The 2012 MP4-12C is McLaren Automotive's first attempt at a sports car for the regular wealthy, not the ones with unicorn stables at their million-square-foot ectopods in Jackson Hole Nebula. But is it too nerdy, and not sexy enough? We found out. ( McLaren wanted us to drive the 2012...

Why Car Reviews Suck And How To Fix Them
Why Car Reviews Suck And How To Fix Them
We've read thousands of car reviews online. We remember almost none of them. The Internet, which has done so much to make journalism diverse and exciting, has somehow only made car reviews more indistinct and boring. The standard modern review is still written for someone flipping through bound-together sheets of...
