FactThe 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.
The 1969 Fury received a partial facelift and was again available as a 2-door hardtop, 2-door convertible, 4-door hardtop, 4-door sedan and 4-door station wagon: the Fury I, II and III, the sport-model Sport Fury (1969–1971) and the top-line VIP (1969 only). The 225 cu in six was standard on the Fury I, II and select IIIs, with the 318 V8 standard on the Sport Fury, some Fury IIIs, all VIPs and the station wagon; a three-speed manual was standard with TorqueFlite optional, and the six and the 318 with manual continued until midway through 1971, after which all full-size Plymouths were V8 automatics. For 1970 the Fury gained Chrysler's round-sided "Fuselage Look" a year late, and the Sport Fury range expanded with a four-door hardtop and a Brougham package (the S/23 dropped for 1971); 1971 added the LA 360, the largest production "small-block" V8 Chrysler built, and a Fury Custom priced between the Fury I and II. For 1972 the Fury was facelifted with a large chrome twin-loop bumper and hidden headlamps (standard on the Sport Suburban and the newly introduced Fury Gran Coupe and Gran Sedan, which eventually became the Gran Fury), the Sport Fury and GT were dropped, the six was no longer offered and a 400 cubic inch V8 became an option; 1973 brought a new grille and 5 mph bumpers. Wheelbase 120.0 in (3,048 mm), 122.0 in (3,099 mm) for wagons. The Sport Fury GT is catalogued as its own generation, and the page gives no power figures for the base engines.

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.

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.
