Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Decent paint with minimal chips and scratches. Front bumper is excellent. The rear is new as well but has a recent scuff on it. Some trim pieces have been replaced, while others like the mirrors are very aged. Stainless trim has scratches and oxidization. Passenger's side door will not fully open. Upholstery is newer, but not new. Carpet and window seals are worn. Undercar body and engine bay are dirty with some leaks. An intermittently cosmetically restored car, and nothing to write home about.
Market commentary
The optimism of specification writers in the early Sixties is manifest in the 305 horsepower rating for its 2-barrel 383 cubic inch engine. It's unusual to see one like this today, most of them having been used up and scrapped long ago from lack of interest and it will be appreciated at Mopar shows. The price reflects collectors' indifference. The new owner got a competent luxury Chrysler for the price of a '61 Plymouth Fury.
