FactThis 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 the 1975 model year Chrysler moved the Fury name to the restyled mid-size B-body line previously marketed as the Satellite, the full-size C-body Plymouth becoming the Gran Fury (through 1977); the "Road Runner" was offered as the top-of-the-line 2-door for 1975 before moving to the Volare line in 1976. Sedans came in base, custom and salon models (the salon with plush velour bench seats, recliners and a spring-loaded hood ornament), coupés in base, Custom and Sport, and wagons as the Fury Suburban or Custom Suburban. The 225 cu in (3.69 L) slant-six was standard on all models except the Fury Sport, Road Runner and wagons, which had the 318 cu in (5.21 L) V8 as base engine; optional were 360 cu in (5.9 L) and 400 cu in (6.6 L) V8s with two- or four-barrel carburetors, and the 440 cu in (7.2 L) four-barrel only as a "police" option on four-door sedans; the Slant Six's two-barrel carburetion is dated 1976–1978 in the infobox and 1977 in the text. A three-speed manual was standard with TorqueFlite optional (both standard by 1978). The 1977 model year brought a chrome vertical bar grille and stacked rectangular headlights; in 1978, with the Gran Fury discontinued, it was Plymouth's largest car, and the Fury was replaced in Canada by the rebadged Dodge Diplomat called the Plymouth Caravelle (no Fury was marketed for 1979). It shared its B-body with the Dodge Coronet/Monaco, Chrysler Cordoba and Dodge Charger SE. Wheelbase 117.5 in (2,984 mm) for sedans and 115.0 in (2,921 mm) for coupés.

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.
