Model identification
Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2021 12:35 am
Hello everyone.
I have attached the model plate.
I still cannot figure out what exact model or car is and what engine package it is for that model.
Essentially what I'm trying to figure out is if we have a normal base model fury, or a sport fury, or if our car is a mish mash with emblems and options added afterwards!
I'm to believe that Sport Fury's only came with the circle upside down V with the "tiffany" medallion, whatever that is...I have attached photos of our rear fins and trunk. Also, out trim piece running horizontally doesn't fit the style of the sport fury.
But, I am also to believe that Sport fury only came in two door only. Ours is four door hardtop.
There's no nameplate or swivel seats.
Ours does have the 318, (313 Canadian). It does have a 2bbl carburetor.
Does it have the superpak or not? How to know?
Here is some excerpts from allpar forum regarding this year of car...
"Combining Ivy League smartness with Big Ten performance" was Plymouth's description of the Sport Fury series. Powered by the Fury V-800 with Super Pak, the Fury concept had been carried to two body styles, adding a convertible to the already familiar two-door hardtop. Sport Furys were easily distinguished by their special trim, which included a new rendition of the upswept spear used since 1956, only this time the end of the spear formed a cove where a special "Tiffany touch" medallion rode. This circular medallion was finished in black and gold with the grille ornament repeated in the center. A fake spare tire cover was bolted to the deck lid, and the medallion was repeated in the center "hubcap." The continental tire look was a favorite of Exner, but most detractors simply called it the "toilet seat."
"For those whose horsepower needs were more mundane, the standard V-8 was the 230 hp 318 with two-barrel economy carburetor. Only two models were restricted from using this engine-the Sport Fury and the Savoy business coupe.
