1965 Plymouth Sport Fury Restomod | The Sound and the Fury | Big Block Mopar

- On this episode of the Average Joe Hot Rod Show we look at Steve Quick’s 1965 Plymouth Sport Fury that he restomodded with his son Trent. And I know what you are thinking...is that really his name? Yep, call it kismet that a guy with the last name Quick is into old cars with big V8’s.
This episode was a labor of love because it was sold in my town at a dealership within walking distance of my current home. . I was able to to actually go stand where that Plymouth was first sold in 1965 and for someone trained in historical research, that made it a little bit more fun for me.
So follow along as we walk in this Mopar’s footsteps from it was new off the lot, to where it was abandoned in a field to rot, to where it was lovingly and painstakingly brought back to life by a father and son team.
If you like big old American Iron with rootin’ tootin’ big blocks and manual transmissions...this may be an episode for you.

I’m an old man now. A rabid car nut since a child. That Fury IS the finest car I’ve ever seen. Excellent, excellent Father & Son Masterpiece.
Thank you for watching
Hey there everyone. Thanks for watching! Steve emailed me after watching feeling bad he didn’t mention his son’s name in the walk around. His name is Trent Quick and he definitely deserves some praise for his hard work.
What's the name of the company that makes the brakes? Thanks
Also can you please give me all info on tire size and Backspacing on front and rear tires. I have a 66. I love what you have done, beautiful car
@@champ5316 I don’t have access to that tire/wheel information. I showcased Steve’s car, I didn’t build it. However, I can tell you we talked off camera about the car and he didn’t recall who made the brakes. However, if you are looking to convert a C body to discs, Scarebird makes kits for them.
Thanks for watching!

This dude has a great radio voice. And super likable. Friendly and very precise; if I needed surgery I would want him to operate!
Moe Sizlac Steve really does have a good voice for radio! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful workmanship.
It’s a beautiful car for sure. Thank you for watching the video and commenting. I know Mr. Quick checks on the video here and there and appreciates all the compliments!
Tell Steve and Trent I love your car, it's modified very nicely.
I will probably see Steve around come spring. I’ll pass along the compliments. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I have a special love for the 65 Sport Fury. Such a sleek car. My dad bought me one for my sixteenth birthday in 1974. He paid 500 dollars for it had about 75k on it. White with red interior, 383 commando V-8. Tourqeflite 727 auto. It- looked- like- new! Didn't have much money at sixteen so junk yards provided me with 440 heads, carter AFB, 3.73 rear chunk out of a truck all for around 200 bucks. Put thrush duals on it and full moon chrome reverse rims. Took off the fender skits and added Gabriel Highjackers to clear the white letter G60's, with G70's on the front. I had the only one around. That heavy ass sled was FAST. At a 20 mph kickdown it was damn near unbeatable. And everyone else knew it too. I drove her hard. Never let down. She was my first love. And have been a MOPAR man all my life. Your restore video brought big smiles to my face. But when you started her up and drove around the block happy tears rolled down my face. Thanks for the.wonderful memories of my dad loving his son so much as to give me this car. It made a man out of me in many ways. BIG BLOCK PLYMOUTH RULES FOREVER!
Darrell Burgess thank you for watching and sharing the story of your Mopar. The big ones can b deceptively quick. They tend hook well.
Steve and Trent, thank you so much for building one of the finest cars ever designed. You did a spectacular job of blending old and new technology. The color scheme is off the charts. Of course I'm hoping Steve is going to let that 383 roll out but I don't see that happening. If it does, I'll be pleasantly surprised!
I was around 22 when I found one of these off in the trees in a boneyard. I had no idea what it was at the time but I absolutely loved it at the time. It was way beyond repair and I didn't see another for a decade maybe more. That was a long time ago, I've since seen a few restored and I love them even more. To me the mid 60s cars are unequalled by any other period. 65 Malibu, GTX, Fairlane, Sport Fury III, LeMans, and on are levels above the late 60s muscle. Not only that, they are often much lighter than you would think.
Thanks so much for watching! I agree the mid 60’s were full of gems in terms of design.
I’m sure Steve and Trent will appreciate the comment when they check in on the video!
I never considered the C-body for anything but that 65 is absolutely perfect and amazing! He and his son did a fantastic job and I now have a new appreciation for their potential!
sd455pontiac thank you for watching! I’m so glad you enjoyed the car. I was lucky to get it on the channel.
Absolutely gorgeous 👍 and sounds as good as it looks...
Beautiful!!!!! This car is absolutely beautiful man!!
John Harr it is. Thank you so much for watching!
That was one helluva lot of work . My God , the labor intensive job they had to do to get that machine ready for the road is totally outstanding............
Bruce Shenkel yes it was. I love that they had the before pics to illustrate it to people that watch the video. The Quicks are real craftsmen.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!
The attention to detail is absolutely unreal
They did a wonderful job. Thanks for watching!
Excellent work Steve and Son!!! That was funny hearing that Ann would not let you guys park near the house!!
Holy moly, absolutely beautiful
Thank you for watching! It is most certainly a well executed job.
Plymouth always had the best jewelry. The enamel badges and trim were great .
Love this one too. Great color on that car. All those custom touches really make that car stand out without taking away from it being a true classic. Great job guys.
Story Teller Steve and his son are quite the craftsmen.
If i could ever afford to have a classic car built i would beg this man and his son to oversee it! Perfection! The little mopar gold star emblem on the driver front quarter was also added, didnt come from factory on the driver side, only on the passenger side! Stunning mopar!!!
Thanks for watching!
Gorgeous fury turned out great love the c body’s
Thanks for watching!
Great car, I can't wait to get my 65 Fury coupe on the road. Still needs a lot of work but will be worth it.
ecocav0222 You’ll stand out in a crowd of common cars! Good luck in getting it finished. 🍀
You should be very proud, that car is beautiful!
Buddy of mine had one of these back in the day, early 70s if I remember correctly. Somebody had put a 440 in it with dusl quads. Being a Sport Fury it had the beautiful tricolor interior with bucket seats, console with the rear seats having the bucket seat look. Beautiful car. One day he came by my place with a couple of friends and wanted to "show" me something. I got in the car and he main rag a we drove a mile or so to a few blocks from the city limits where the approach to the cross street was pretty steep. About teo blocks from that he slowed down because the light at the intersection was red. "Hang on a sec" he said as we creeped along in first gear. Then the light turn green and he floored that big 440. I don't know how fast we got going but when we hit that approach we literally flew over four lanes and crunched down to the suspension bump stops the other side. I told him ne was crazy and he took me back home. Not to long after that he windowed the block. Never saw the car again
Man that 383 powered Fury sounds beastly.
Man o man, what a car! And it sounds great. It’s not too loud either. 👍 that’s one of the best looking motors I’ve ever seen.
Tim Mitzlaff thank you for watching!
thinking about a fury and watched this..... that car is amazing!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Beautiful car, Steve. What a labor of love for you and your son. Thanks for sharing.
They do indeed make full lower quarter panels for that car as well as trunk extensions. Beautiful fury, hope for mine to look that good one day
I wonder if they didn’t when Steve was working on his. It was a nearly 15 year project. Nice to know the support for these is growing. I’d love to see yours when it’s done. Feel free to tag the show in any pics when you have it finished!
Thanks for watching!
First time I saw an American car with manual gear box....Great car!!!
Thanks for watching.
Absolutely beautiful! You did an excellent job. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for watching! I love being able to help people like the Quick’s show off their hard work.
What an awrsome car. Love the C bodies. I had a 66 Fury 1 2 dr sedan with a big block and a 66 Dodge Polara 2 dr hardtop. Great cars!
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thanks for all the information on the 65 Fury.. I was just considering restoring one but will have to do more home work I didnt realize parts were so difficult to find.. I just love the body style and Every body does the Cudas and Chargers and Challengers... I am just a few miles from them I might see if I can catchup with Steve and Trent to find out more information...
Mopar Madness thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I have heard that more reproduction parts are starting to come online for these C bodies. There are some forums for them to check out too. People on there can help guide you if you take one on.
If you’re close to Steve and Trent you are to me too. So if you see me around say hi sometime.
One of the best looking cars ever made. I had a 69 Coronet RT with the 440 magnum and i loved that car. Those Ram air hood scoops look just like the scoops my RT had. I was a 17 year old kid and the car was almost new. I traded my wrecked 66 Chevelle convertible for it. I paid the rest of the payments on the RT. I always loved these Fury's. So beautiful. Great job!
Thanks for watching! It is certainly a well styled car.
love those wheels!!!!
Had a 64 Sport Fury- originally had a 383, someone replaced it with a 440, cam was updated. It was a beast. Real sleeper. Auto trans, but had a shift kit in it, so I was ok with that.
Very Sweet mopar you guys did a awesome job on that car, I had a 66 all yellow with black interior.
Thanks for watching!!
Beautiful car. Wish I had one, I’d change the wheels tho.
I own a 65 fury 2 that I bought last year for 70 bucks, had been sitting since ‘98. Just took tires, a battery, plugs, oil change and fresh gas, now it’s my daily driver. Cruises 55 mph no problem!
In today’s insane classic car market, you got the deal of a lifetime!
Nice job, good clear voice!
I had a classic/vintage restoration business for 25+ years. Painting emblems/trim was never an problem and we didn't used insulin needles to do so. Evidently Steve Quick didn't know about "fine line" masking tape or removing overspray with lacquer thinner on a cleaning cloth.
More than one way to skin a cat they say. 🤷♂️
The finest example of a 65 Sport Fury that I have ever seen and I've been to a lot of car shows. Very well thought out, impressive touches that make it unique. Sounds great and looks aggressive. The 65 has always been my favorite year for the Sport Fury. Well done!
Thanks Mike! Very kind of you
@@tnert72 My pleasure! Mopar or no car!
Not original and it should have been like it came from the factory. Technology is what is bringing this would to a close
A very nice car
Sure is. Thanks for watching!
i like your fury , nice sound too.
Very beautiful Fury brother. Its a big car for Mr.B.
Thanks for watching!
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow You're welcome brother. Are the aluminum heads ported and polished or are they stock cast.
@@CJColvin it has been a while since I shot the episode but I do believe these are Mopar cast iron heads that were ported, polished, and had a valve job done.
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow Awesome brother and its probably making 450 HP at the crank right.
@@CJColvin yeah that’s crank HP not rear wheel HP. It pulls hard so I am betting that engine is putting out a good amount of torque too
Great car great guy. Awesome
Thanks for watching. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
Extremely sanitary and nice attention to detail.
Thanks for watching! I know the owner checks on the episode every once in a while so Steve will appreciate that!
Just blown away at the attention to detail, craftsmanship, and fortitude. A five-year build! Gotta wonder if you at some point you wanted to toss in the towel. I could go on and on about this beauty. We had a '64 sport convertible back in HS with the 361 auto. When I say we, it was friends pooling our funds so we'd have a weekend cruiser. It was no slouch and in pretty decent shape. Back then you could buy future classics for next to nothing. What a blast to drive. I'd like to know what your background was to create such a sweetheart ride. Also a line or two about painting it (garage)? This is my 1st experience with your site so I will dig a little deeper. As a lifelong Mopar fan, this was one of those often overlooked models if I am correct. Anyways, congrats on an A-One build. The only thing I'd change is the wheels but I am not a fan of any of the new ones. Really loved the ralleys like I had on my '65 Coronet.
Thanks for watching!
Love the hood scoops.
Thanks for watching
In 1965 Plymouth did make front discs for the Fury. But only on police packages as far as I know. They were also multi piston caliper. I couldn’t tell you who made them, but very nice brakes.
That’s a cool little bit of information. Thanks for contributing it to the comment section! And thanks for watching!
Looks like it was done right with a lot of study
Thanks for watching! The Quick boys did a great job for sure.
Fantasy build.
I used to have a 1966 Fury 111 which was red and white.
I have the same car, 383 factory 4 speed. Mine was rustproofed from the factory so it's in pretty good shape. I have the original purchase agreement from the dealer that lists how it was set up. Thanks for making this video, it gave me ideas for when I get around to working on mine.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Thank you for watching!
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow If you don't mind me asking, what are you using for exhaust? Mine's a little too loud and I like how your's sounds.
@@David-qo6rx if I remember right he has flowmaster mufflers on it. It may sound a little quieter because of the compression that my equipment puts on the sounds. Kind of evens out the highs and lows.
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
@@dhh488 always happy to help when I can. Have a great day!
What a work of art. I can really appreciate all the work you put into that car. I have a 64 SF and all the interior chrome trim is pitted. Do you have any suggestions on who restores that trim? I know it won't be cheap.
Sorry I can’t help you with the trim. It definitely will be expensive as chrome has gotten astronomically pricey in recent years. Good luck on your 64. Looking at the market, I expect them to really start climbing in value.
Very nice car ! However if I could have an all original I would take it over a restomod any day of the week. If I want modern that’s what I will go for. But a classic has my heart and always will.
SHARP👍
You should have seen the one I bought for $2,500 . When I opened the hood under the barn all I seen was moose performance. I didn’t realize what I might be looking at until then ,Charger,challenger etc. It was a 383 , 440 heads , 800 double Holley , 10/1 compression, flat top module pistons , slap shifter , 727 torque flight trans,410 Richmond gear . It needed a half quart of trans fluid to run . I couldn’t hardly see the for sale sign because of the dust on it. When he crunk it up I paid him right then.
That is a beautiful looking car and I like the Red colour and the choice of rims. I just wish he would of given it a little shot when taking it for a spin if you know what I mean.
I know what ya mean. But TH-cam is kinda funny with doing anything “dangerous “ on the street.
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow Thanks for your comment.
Sweet build mine should be pretty close major difference being darker red and different hood scoop
Nice! Thanks for watching!
My father's first new car was a 65 Plymouth wagon with the 383 Commando engine. It was naturally aspirated and it seemed to get 11 mpg no matter city or highway. I purchased it from him in 1974 for $100 when I needed a second car. I used it for a couple of years and sold it to a friend for $100. That old wagon would run like a scalded rat. BTW, Plymouth did put front disc brakes on the 65 Plymouth police package.
I love wagons. Yeah bet that was a cool one indeed. Thanks for watching!!!
I love that big old boat
Thanks for watching
Hello i was wondering if you still have extra parts you did not use.. I'm looking for the trunk and tail light chrome. I have i 1965 plymouth fury 3 . Been working on for 5 years now.
Sorry, can’t help you. I only showcase builds on my channel. They aren’t mine.
Wow!!
Patrick Duster74 we agree
Holy cow .
Thanks for watching
Nobody tints the windows on a classic, but that’d look so cool...
I tinted the windows on my 70 Nova when I had it. And Derek with his 1960 Chevy Wagon (in another episode) has tinted the windows since being on my channel
Was my very first car traded it in on a 68 charger wish I had both now, I wonder if you ever heard of a 65 sport fury iii I believe that’s what mine was and the owner of the local dodge dealer said it was very rare
I owned a 65 Fury ll 2 door sedan that was black in color and I thought I saw this vehicle for sale on Hemmings some time ago.
Gary Mckee thanks for watching! These C bodies look sharp in black!
👍🏻👍🏻Great job on the resto.

You should do voice overs for movies and radio.
Gunatics friends have said that to me before. I’d do it if I had any idea how to grab those gigs.
Looking for some parts. Package tray driver side armrest 65 Plymouth Sport Fury
'73 C body disc brakes are a direct fit for these cars, no need to source aftermarket GM junk...
I had a red '65 Plymouth Sport Fury that had the 426 Max Wedge engine. Awesome and very fast car. I traded it in for a '67 Plymouth Belvedere II hemi car. BIG MISTAKE !
I got to take a ride once in a 426 Max wedge Polara. That was a hot engine!
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow Better reliability/longevity than the 426 hemi.
👍😎
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!
Steve said he has extra cars. Wondering if he has package tray sport fury and driver armrest. 65
Thanks for watching. I do believe his extra parts cars are long gone now. He has developed an itch for British sports cars and is working on them last I saw him in June 2021.
Well if you happen to run across what I need please let me know
@@chaswilks3399 if you haven’t already, check out the Mopar C body forums.
Forcbodiesonly.com
Check the distributor, there are mushrooms growing inside.
Was wondering who the company was that did the disc brakes
He never could come up with it. But I know Scarebird brakes does have C body Mopar disc conversion kits.
Thanks for watching!!!!
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow Thanks. I'll check them out.
@@korymatthews8151 you’re welcome! Hope they have something you can use.
Very nice car. But no, you won’t find those scoops on 69 Chargers. What you WILL find them on are 1970 line. Still not Chargers but Super Bees, Dusters and Darts.
Thanks for the info on MOPARS.
If my wife said that I can't have my car in my garage that I pay for, guess what she can live in the barn! Or leave!
😂 thanks for watching
At this time I'm building a '65 Sport Fury. Mine will be different than Steve and Trent's car, but I have some questions for them about their build. Would it be possible for you to pass this request along to them? Maybe they could PM me on my channel. I can also be reached on a restoration thread I have going on, here - www.forcbodiesonly.com/mopar-forum/threads/1965-sport-fury-restoration.44077/
Thank you!!
D. Eby I’ll see if I can find Steve’s email address and if I still got it, I’ll pass on the request to him for you.
Good luck with the build! And thanks a ton for watching!
D. Eby email found and sent! Hopefully you hear from him soon!
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow / THANK YOU!!!!
D. Eby I heard back from Steve and he’s not the most tech savvy guy. He said that I could pass his email address to you. So if you want to email me at BobbyDeeFilms@gmail.com I will give you his email. Hopefully that works for you!
Those hood wheels ruin it.
Steve likes his big bling wheels. We all got our preferences. I like to stay around 17 inches on most rides myself.
Its funny, these arent nearly as heavy as people think they are.
Only 3500lbs. As much as a modern car lol
Modern cars are heavy. Heck my 1970 Nova SS weighed 1,000 pounds less than a newer Mustang. These were light for a vintage fullsize car by 200-300 pounds.
You should have left that car original. I don't like the way the dash has been altered and the original consule should have been restored to it's original version.. there's not a lot of them left anymore. Don't get me wrong wrong it's a beautiful ride but it should've stayed original
FUGLY wheels/tires. They ruin the classic image.
Beautiful Plymouth. I love it. Only thing I'm not keen on are the rims and rubberband tyres, but that's just me. Nice car man 👍
Wheels and tires are definitely a subjective thing. I myself wouldn’t have gone as big on the wheels. For me anything beyond 17/18 inches is too much for large classic car. The nice thing about big wheels is you can fit big brakes, always good on a heavy car with a big block.
@@AverageJoeHotRodShow you are correct. I have a 57 plymouth I want to put disc breaks on. But I'm limited because I love the original hubcaps and wide whites.
