FactAustralia sold this Fury generation as the right-hand-drive Dodge Phoenix, a full-size American body reborn under a different badge.
In 1965 Chrysler returned the Fury to the new full-size C-body platform on new 119 in (3,023 mm) wheelbases (121 in for wagons, 1 in longer than before): the new line included the Fury I (basic), Fury II and Fury III, with the Sport Fury the highest trim, positioned to compete with the Chevrolet Impala Super Sport and Ford Galaxie 500/XL; the Fury II was a two-door hardtop in Canada only. The grille lost chrome but gained two vertical stacked headlights on each side, and the 426 "street wedge" V8 was introduced, rated at 385 hp (287 kW) and finally street-legal. For 1967 the body was restyled with a sharp, angular profile, a new formal two-door hardtop with a "fast top" roofline appeared in the VIP and Sport Fury series, and new safety regulations meant dual-circuit brake master cylinders, energy-absorbing steering columns and shoulder belt mounting points for the first time; 1967 also ended the old 318, replaced by the lightweight "LA" V8 as the base V8. The 1968 model got minor grille updates, side marker lights and new rear sheet metal, with the Suburban badge returning on wagons (Suburban, Custom Suburban and Sport Suburban corresponding to the Fury I, II and III). In Australia the full-size Dodge Phoenix became a right-hand drive version of the Fury in 1965 and continued until 1972. Engines: 225 cu in (3.7 L) RG I6, 318 cu in (5.2 L) LA V8, 383 cu in (6.3 L) B V8, 426 cu in (7.0 L) Wedge V8 and 440 cu in (7.2 L) RB V8; 3-speed automatic, 3-speed manual or 4-speed manual.

Photographs
This Fury wasn't Plymouth's flagship anymore — in 1975 Chrysler demoted the nameplate off its full-size C-body car and stuck it on the mid-size B-body line that used to be called Satellite.
For one year, the humble Fury rode on the same all-new C-body platform as Chrysler's flagship Imperial, a mid-market Plymouth sharing its bones with the brand's most expensive car.
Order the right box in 1970 and your Sport Fury GT came with three two-barrel carbs stacked on a 440 — the fabled "6-Barrel," good for 390 hp and 490 lb-ft.
The 1970 Sport Fury GT could be ordered with three two-barrel carburetors on its 440 — a setup Plymouth called the '6-Barrel' — for 390 hp and 490 lb-ft.
Plymouth marketed this trim's own name as an acronym, calling it the very important Plymouth when it launched in 1966.
Australia sold this Fury generation as the right-hand-drive Dodge Phoenix, a full-size American body reborn under a different badge.
This Fury was downsized in 1962 amid Chrysler corporate scandals, and buyers stayed away until the 1963-64 restyle fixed it.
Styling locked in back in 1957 aged so fast that Chevrolet and Ford grew sales in 1960 while Plymouth barely held its own.
Chrysler Canada built a one-year-only Dodge Viscount by grafting a 1959 Dodge front end onto this Fury's body.
A 1958 Fury inspired Stephen King's Christine, but the movie used Belvederes instead because Plymouth never built a red '58 Fury.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
