After first seeing this my first impression was that dang Plymouth that Tim Leeming beat and banged with me with in the late 60s and early 70s on some of the finest dirt tracks in the south.
Just wish someone would buy this ole gal and let Tim play with her again.
This 1960 Plymouth Fury is said have been a one-owner, rust-free Texas car prior to the selling dealer restoring it into a great-looking Richard Petty tribute car. Similar to the car Petty drove at his first Daytona 500 (where he finished third ahead of his father Lee, as the listing points out), it's retained its original 361ci V8 and matching 3-speed, and though the car looks great throughout we especially dig the hand-painted lettering. Find it here on eBay in Addison, Texas with a $79,988 BIN.
Manual steering and brakes should give a properly old-fashioned feel behind the wheel, and wrestling with a powerful old boat like this sounds like a lot of funprovided youre in the right mood. For best results we recommend jumping in immediately after driving something small, nimble and European.
Well admit were no experts on early 60s Mopar powerplants, but suspect this car runs a 361 B block. No mechanical details are provided, though it is said to be the cars original motor. With something like several hundred pounds of insulation and interior pulled, we bet it hauls and makes a great sound while doing so.
