61 Plymouth Fury Hardtop - How Rare

[bluefury]

A few more shots of the 61 Fury.
It's tough to find information about these cars, The forward Look site has been helpful but still a few mysteries. 1962 started a whole new chapter in mopar history and nothing crosses over.

If anyone here has fender tag code info or any factory literature on 61 Plymouth's i'd love to see it.

:shruggy:Having trouble posting pics...... I'll work on it...

You might talk to Cooter.  He has a 59 Belvedere Christine look alike.  He does a lot of web searching and hangs out on other forums.  You might pm him.  He'll be back on here around later on today.  He's always happy to help.

I would love to have it.  I don't know the value but always wanted a mopar from the year I was born, but just never liked any of the styles.  Oh wait I was born in 91 not 61.

The Forwardlook.net is one of the best resources I found. There are some very knowledgable people, but one thing you will discover is that not as detailed of information known about forward look cars as the muscle car era.

There are reasonable differences between the pre59 cars and 60-61, the earlier cars having been frame-on-body, and the 60-61 being uni-body, but you probably already know that. You will have reasonable parts interchangability with 1960.

Great looking 61 !

Like I said in my earlier posts....I'm starting to like these cars!    After 50 years the styling is cool.

just playin with the 91. My son was born in 82.  That would mean I concieved him when I was 9.  I guess I was a real player back in the day!

Dang, don't know how I missed this post the first time around.  I learned to drive in a '61 Fury 4 door HT. 318 Poly engine, push button shift, Salmon paint color.  Nicknamed the "Pink Elephant" by kids in my HS. Was a blast to drive but a real bear to parallel park for the driving test.  I was going to restore it but pappy sold it while I was stationed overseas. Still miss that car. If I can find some pics I'll post them.
