1961 Plymouth Fury V-800

Rare, unrestored 1961 Plymouth Fury Convertible, originally delivered in the Netherlands, from the second owner, complete with Square Wheel, Philips record player, and full documentation. The car has driven only 95, 000 kilometers, is in fantastic condition, and is being offered for sale for the first time in forty years.

In 1961, this Plymouth Fury Convertible was delivered new by the Hague-based firm Zoet to the director of the addressing machine company HaPee from Zeist (later Soesterberg). In the 1980s, the car came into the hands of the second owner, who has cherished the Plymouth ever since. It is one of the few Furies imported at the time and, as far as is known, is currently the only one of this type in the Netherlands. Just under 7, 000 examples were made, and this model is extremely rare, especially as a convertible. The design is by the legendary Virgil Exner (1909–1973).

The Plymouth features a 290 hp 5. 2-liter 318 “Fury V-800” V8, mated to a button-operated Torque-Flite automatic transmission. The convertible top is electric. The interior is bright red, and naturally, the car is fitted with whitewall tires. Distinctive details include the side mirrors integrated into the fenders, the speedometer in a separate unit on the dashboard, the hood handle integrated into the grille, and the iconic “Microphone Taillights.” The dual headlights with slanted eyebrows are surrounded by anodized aluminum, creating a stunning front view. Notable options include the Square Wheel, the translucent angular steering wheel that cost around $1, 000 at the time, and the Philips car record player (including Elvis singles). The Plymouth comes with a complete documentation package, including original service booklets, warranty papers, brochures, and an article from the automotive magazine Carros.

This rare, unrestored Plymouth Fury Convertible with Dutch history is a unique car that has always been cherished and therefore deserves a loving third owner.

This car has a Dutch registration.
