Wearing factory Sandalwood paint and a 426 Max Wedge under the hood, this 1964 Plymouth Fury represents the final, sharpest version of Chrysler’s wedge-head big block before the 426 Hemi took over for good. With only a few hundred Max Wedge cars built across the whole B-body lineup that year, and a four-speed stick rarer still, every surviving example gets its paint code checked twice.
The Plymouth Fury’s evolution is like a thrilling soap opera for gearheads. Debuting as a Belvedere option in 1958, it quickly claimed the spotlight with its own model in ’59. The Sport Fury was a tease, disappearing in ’59, only to make a comeback in ’62 with more razzle-dazzle. Fast forward to ’65, and the Fury III was the prom queen, boasting luxury like power steering and AC. By ’74, it was a full-blown diva with digital clocks and LED monitors, proving even cars can have glow-ups!
