1969 Plymouth GTX 440 4-speed survivor

A friend had a 1968 Plymouth Sport Fury back in the early 80's. 383 factory 4 speed. Funny story: he was a small guy (not very tall). When just cruising he would red line 2nd gear and jump to 4th gear , skipping 3rd. His words: To much of a reach for me to grab 3rd gear. He did it all the time. I can still see it clearly in my mind. ROB

We bought the Sport Fury at Fall Carlisle in 1984. Seller was Firm at $1500. We only had $1500 between us. We begged him to take $1450 as we needed $50 for gas and tolls. Had amazing color combo. Burgundy paint, white vinyl top, black interior and fender skirts. We were in our senior year of high school!!! Great Times !!!! ROB
