Wow, that is a nice Fury III!!
I had a blue 1972 Fury III that I purchased in 1973. I really liked that car and I had for almost 10 years and finally let it go during one of my many moves. My mother had a 1972 New Yorker and a 1978 New Yorker, both of which I ended up with after I was married. I let the 1972 go and kept the 1978 for a number of years, but again let it go after I lost my wife. |

Man, that thing is sweet. I prefer the 4-door sedan though.

That car is a beauty Doug, it couldn't be in better hands either!

Hard to get much cleaner!
I've long admired these cars as well. Never owned one, but daydreamed. I remember seeing a two-page magazine ad for a '69 (?) Imperial in dark blue. That was maybe 25 years ago, but the image still sticks in my mind as being one of the classiest cars ever. To my eyes, a Cadillac looks cheap in comparison.

Looks like it's low on options, which is the way to have them in my opinion. It makes for a cleaner look.

Here's a fixer upper from the movie The Getaway!

He uses a 1971 Fury I 4-door sedan in The Towering Inferno. Not exactly in line with the type of character he usually played.
On a side note, O.J. Simpson has one of his finest moments in that movie: he rescues a cat, which he places into Fred Astaire's arms at the end. Last edited by Jon A.; 04-05-2015 at 11:46 AM. |

I came close to bidding on this '70 Chrysler 300 at a local Mecum auction last year when it was as the Schaumburg Convention Center. I just wasn't in a position to take on another car. Mecum screwed up big and advertised it as a 1970 Newport in the newsletter and also at the auction which is why I believe the car sold for so cheap. But a real Mopar person knew it was a 300 because of the hideaway headlights. The car ended up selling for about $4400.00 with no reserve!

That's a sweet car for $4400. ! ! Looks like tilt wheel, and cruise control....
Actually that's almost a Time Machine price back to '71 also..... I would expect auction prices to be higher..... Wonder if prices for cars is coming down a bit..... Maybe there was not a lot of Chrysler stuff there so it didn't attract a lot of Chrysler enthusiasts....? As much as I pretty much appreciate all older cars, stuff from Dodge, Chrysler, Plymouth, really looked extra good to me.... .

Nice car for sure, but the Fury looks better to me.
I have an inside mirror/bracket assembly just like the one in the Fury (but pulled from a '72 Imperial); now I just need to build a car around it. |

I think that is what they do with model "A's", T's, and Mustangs, as the number of them
seems to grow each year - if you regularly go to car shows..... .

Thanks guys!
Another car on my "want list" would be a '72 Fury III, 4dr HT. Something very unique I like about those, same with the '72 Dodge Polara. It's hard to pick a favorite as I really like all of them. Here's a few more C body photos. The first is a '73 Fury Gran Coupe which is a friends car in our chapter of the WPC club. The maroon car is another friend with a '70 New Yorker and also a '65 Chrysler Newport. We try and get all of our Mopars together on cruise nights up in Skokie on Thursday nights. |

The '72 Polara, in my opinion, has the simplest, cleanest design of all of them. This is probably why they were so popular for fleet use.

Doug is keeping an eye out for a C-Body wagon.. Now that would be a great find.. Practical for rescuing Zenith Televisions as well!
