I bet this was a lot more successful than previous events, such as the "Find us a toe with nailpolish, win a prize" game and "nude zip-line art competition."
Coming soon: "This is what happens when you fuck a stranger in the ass", the game! (as seen at People's Curse Award of LeMons!)

Because of his penchant for bowling, or as a nod to Point Break? Or both?

Sorry, I don't have too much time on my hands, I'm just thrilled when the commenting works.
Actually seems about right for today's market. Tomorrow's market, well...let's just say I want to see if I can talk my dad into helping me build a bunker in the backyard...
It would honestly have to be down around $6500 for me to consider buying it myself, but I'm not the target buyer. For the right buyer, I'm sure it's worth it.
To me, it might as well be a 2-door anything from the sixties, and I should be able to find a nice 2-door something for $6500, so that's what it's worth to me.
Nothing against it. It's a pretty sweet ride. I just wouldn't spend $40k on it. In fairness, I wouldn't spend $40k on just about any car, though. There are too many cars that I would like equally as much that are a mere fraction of that price.
Gotta vote crack pipe on this Mopar. Even though my first car was a '65 Plymouth Fury III convertible, I'd have to smoke way too much crack to pay that for a mid-60s survivor like this.
This hits close to home. I drove a 10 year old 66 Fury for about 10 years. Mine was a 4-door Squaresville edition--a fine roomy cruiser and a good and faithful companion but worth next to nothing on the market.
Unlike this baby. I think you could haggle a little on the price but it's reasonable and crack free!
pigeon stew and rat tapenade? Man, now I'm hungry.
I think this Fury is slicker then the driver's seat on Jenna Jameson's Lambo. But despite it being only one of three, matching numbers, and with a 426 Wedge to rock the block, it's still a Fury. And prices for big '60s muscle cars have been trending down even before the economy shat the table. I am reluctantly going to call up my crack dealer on this one and ask for an extension on the loan he has so kindly provided me.
Damn shame too, Pymouth's not getting much respect any more.
Everybody decrying the lack of a Hemi should realize that a similar numbers matching car with a Hemi and an extra 1 at the beginning of the price would be an even better deal. Nice Price.

Maybe a little high, but not crackpipe high, more like huffing PB Blaster high. My real question is, who tries to sell a car like this on Craigslist? I'd have to think long and hard before I took the plunge on a LeMons candidate listed on CL...
My parents had a '65 Fury I 2 door with a slant six. It didn't like to start in damp weather. My mother referred to it as "lizzy", usually pre/proceeded by some form of profanity. So, in a roundabout way, Plymouth Fury's taught me how to swear at automobiles.
But $39,900 for an admittedly rare Fury variant in the midst of the financiapocalypse is fucking nuts......and yet I want it. Pass the pipe. It may change my mind.
Dunno much about this sort of thing. If the 40 grand is the price of entry, what does this cost to keep on the road, assuming actual driving takes place and that you live in an okay part of the country? And you're not a mad insurance risk, all that stuff.
First year ownership is $39900 + ?, in other words.
@Stoatmaster: Aside from tires and basics like oil change, probably not much. And this would likely be something you get collectors car insurance on, which can be extremely low. So if you've got the 40k, and drive it (not daily I would assume since gas mileage is more than likely BARELY in the double digit range) maybe $1000 a year in upkeep and such. (Fuel and tires not included. That cost could vary WAY too much to figure)
*all this assumes it has been put together properly and it doesn't have 10k in paint over the top of 4000lbs of rust, mouse turds and shot wiring.

Bottom line: nice price.

If I had that money, though, I'd pony up another $10K to acquire a Hurst SC/Rambler. And some quality gaspers.

Dang, 426 Wedge. I haven't heard those words ogether in a while. Not since my last issue of CarTOONS finally crumbled to dust.

Mopars as a whole have been highly overpriced in the last 5-10 years, hopefully the financial apocalypse will bring them back to reality.
