I love Imperials and breaks the heart to see those out there like that especially the LeBaron one. Beautiful car youve got there and Im a Ford guy. Got an 73 T-Bird. Black over burgundy. Early 70s luxury coupes nothing else like them. Thank you Sir great vid. If that is ever for sale please contact me again thank you
That's a great car...it will be well worth the effort. My pulse quickens a bit when I see early 70s fuselage Mopars....especially Plymouth and Imperial.
Wow, a '72 Plymouth! A well equipped one at that, complete with that famous tape recorder/cassette player. How many do you see these days? And the car is complete, mostly everything is all there and it can be easily restored.
Cool car, congrats. You should post some vid at dusk with the headlight doors openening and closing as well as the tail lights olluminated and the fender indicators flashing.
Even as a kid in the 1970's I always loved riding in c body's. I have never seen this confirmed but I think the c's had the widest brake pedals and widest interior rear-view mirrors of any production cars. As a southwesterner it is painful to see those old barges rusting in the snow.
yep, that was the tradition up until 1974 for most manufacturers. Ford and Chevy followed the same pattern, a new style every year from the 1953ish and up till the mid 1970's
I sold this car about 2 years ago. Sadly, it left the USA and is now in Germany. I'm hoping and praying that the guy keeps it original and doesn't hotrod it.
great car ;) i have the same, but its a 4 door gran fury. im searching for the plastic cover that lie on the frontseat of the car where you take the arm rest but in germany you cant find this thing. fit this part for the 1972? The car where you take the arm rest is a 1973 or? do you have more informations?
and whats the name of this plastic cover? i need to find this on the internet :D I am searching so long, thats the first picture of one in a good contition
Hi, I think I know the part you mean, and I don't know that it even has a name? I think it's called, "the plastic cover that lies on the front seat". Honestly, don't know the name......I can't look at mine, currently I'm in Virginia and my car is in Maine. the salvage yard in the film is in Maine, and yes, the car where the arm rests came out of was a 1973. I can't now help as I won't be in Maine until September. I will be going to that yard to get a few parts, I can look to see if it's in that car still and let you know.
I don't know if you've got everything since you posted this video, but if not, keep working on it. Buy NOS online if you have to. That's what I'd do if I had something like this.
1972 pretty much marked the end of the land yachts. A few of them lingered well into the late 90s and early 2000s, but they did not sell well and were a bit of an oddity. The discontinuance of the Crown Vic was the end of that. I get sentimental when I see one, but I'd never buy one again. A lot of things make me sentimental that I don't want back. Corded phones, rabbit ears, monochrome television,terrestrial radio, to name just a few.
The Crown Vic you refer to barely qualified as a mid size car by previous standards. And 72 wasn't the end of the big cars. The truly big Plymouths lasted through 77, Dodge, Chrysler, Ford, and Mercury through 78, and Lincoln through 79.
hi - I happen to have a spare hood in the same color as your car I bought several years back when I was working on a 72 Sport Suburban wagon I owned if you ever need one
@@OsbornTramainin Longview, Tex ..paint is in fair condition - needs a good buffing - has been a while since I saw your original post about this car - how are things going with the restoration? this year model Fury is particularly special to me - my dad bought a new 72 Sport Suburban wagon in Sunfire Yellow/ black interior - took my driving test in it when I got my license at age 16 including parallel parking! - I later bought another one used that had been special ordered from our local dealer in Spinnaker White/blue interior with power windows and door locks, tilt steering wheel, power seat, dual air conditioning, premier wheel covers etc
Sadly, the lot went to auction in September 2021, they did an online auction first for every car and then a guy came in and bought the rest to crush. I didn't hear about the auction until after it happened and missed out. I did get into the yard in November 2021 and got a bunch of stuff I needed, but sadly, it's gone now 2022...all of it crushed.
@@OsbornTramain If I keep my 64 hardtop wagon, keep an eye out for a rotten 60 Polara. I want to add 60 Polara fins to my 64 wagon for a custom 1 off. 👍
Just GORGEOUS, WOW its all there and that low mileage!! Great find. Ok ginna watch the rest of vid. Great vid
Had a 72 Fury III 4 door Hardtop. 360 that I paid $400 cdn for back in 1981. Would love another one again. Love the vids Osbourn!!!
Awesome find! I'm jelly. Keep us updated!
Love this. My parents had a 72 fury 3 two door that exact color combo without the hideaway headlights. Would love to find one
I love fuselage style......gorgeous mopar......restore it, with love and patience......cool car
Amazing what a little work and effort can do. Nice to see you keeping these big beasts alive, and nice tour of the parts cars.

I freakin LOVE 72 Plymouths with the Wicked hidden headlights !
I was just showing a person the car today and I told him that the best part of the car is the headlights, such an amazing style grill.
@@OsbornTramain Wicked ! I want to trade my 64 Newport wagon for a 72 wagon with the hidden headlights.
That's a great car...it will be well worth the effort. My pulse quickens a bit when I see early 70s fuselage Mopars....especially Plymouth and Imperial.

The interesting thing about C body Plymouth's is that each year they were unique in styling for 1 model year.
yep, that was the tradition up until 1974 for most manufacturers. Ford and Chevy followed the same pattern, a new style every year from the 1953ish and up till the mid 1970's
Big difference and worth every mosquito bite.
Love the C-Bodies!!! Great buy!!
I have that 72s exact twin I think. GY9? I also have it in a 4 door hard top as well
I sold this car about 2 years ago. Sadly, it left the USA and is now in Germany. I'm hoping and praying that the guy keeps it original and doesn't hotrod it.
meaning better fuel economy and power. I love Lean Burn!

Pretty sure the reproduce those armrests and bases too.

Awesome!
14 million miles
It is impossible to believe that this car has only 14,000 original miles....someone is being gullible.
Coup-ay! Lol
If the crome on armrests are are crap flip them and switch them side to side
i already did that!
@@OsbornTramain noice car by the way I still have 2 one front end got mangled when I was 17 .But it did take down a3/4 ton chev truck
There is something wrong with your sound.
looks nice though
