My Brother's 1964 Plymouth Fury Is A Ratty, Smoky, Grimy Daily Driver (With Hidden Surprises Inside)

- Crappy, disgusting paint that looks like it was last washed during the Clinton administration? Check. Missing part of the floor and various bits of metal elsewhere? Yep. Manual transmission and various handling upgrades? Oh yeah. That settles it, it's a Colin car. At least he's consistent, you know? There's something to be said for that. Anyway, this '64 Fury has lived several lives - first as a normal factory car from '64 to '70, then as a 340 powered street racer in the 70s and 80s, as a garage ornament for many years, and now as a zombie street machine with a random V8 and a four speed. It's a car that looks like it belongs in a junkyard (because it probably does,) but there is a bit more to it than immediately meets the eye.

Old American muscle cars never die....
they just lose weight one rusty chunk at a time ✌️🙂
Keep that wicked ride alive !
Love it man, it reminds me of our cars in the late 70’s early 80’s, when you could still buy a cool car for $300 bucks and fix it up as you could afford to.
Yep. Miss those days.
She's a party girl, rough but a darn good time!
Well it may be old ratty smoky and grimy but there's something cool about it.
Unrealized potential is only scorned by those that lack clear perspective :-)
You need to stop reading fortune cookies.

Good advice brings good fortune :-)
I rode around in a brand new 64 sport fury in the 60's. Always loved the 64!!!
That is a real car there. I love it. That car will make you smile everything you drive it.
"Is that lifter tick or an exhaust leak?........ Yes". Your channel keeps getting better and better. Entertaining and informative. My dad always owned Mopars. Two things I remember from the old days? Ballast resistors and carburetor icing in the cold damp weather... yeehaw
I had a '64 Plymouth Savoy for a time when I lived in Los Angeles. It was totally plain Jane--slant 6, three on the tree, basic transportation and nothing more. It was a beige color. I really liked that car. The front grill design and the back tail lights were just enough to give the car a cool look, even though it was just a plain Jane. I ended up trading it for a motorcycle. I've always told myself that if I ever find another one, I will get it.
As you go through life, remember one thing. Any one thing.
I don't know what you're going on about, that car is perfect. Definitely the content I'm looking for. Subscribed.
It sure has lots of potential.
Lots and lots and lots.😅
It's pretty much all potential!😊
I've been thinking about swapping my fury over to a 4 speed. I have all the old trans and equipment from the Ebody when I swapped a 5 speed into it. I just don't want to cut up my fury. She's a clean survivor. So I just go for cruises lol.
I love a four speed, but in my Charger? I just wouldn’t do it. The column shift auto stays. Cruise on!
Yeah I remember these. It's a good running old car.Had a friend with one.383 with a push button automatic on dash.
As we used to say in high school, "Cooler than Rat Shit" LOL Love that manual transmission howl.
‘What have we learned’ well…. It’s one damn reliable 1964 fury!
Raw, manual, old school, analog. Child seats in the back 😳 part of my childhood, lived in Hoquiam in the glamorous Woodlawn neighborhood. Memories.
Luv the videos…always great commentary throughout each one.
Thank you!
That is one unique Plymouth fury I like the body style and that it’s a two tire fryer. Thanks for sharing with us 😁
The next time you ask him for something do yourself a favor and don’t expect a yes. You just torched your brother in front of the entire world. Dang have a heart lol
Haaaahaha. I’ve been doing that this whole time. He’ll be ok.
Lol i had a red 64 fury in 89 pushbutton automatic. 383 4 barrel car really quick miss it had lots fun in it there very rare today and i wish i only still had it really cool car
I feel like your brother was IN LOVE with the Dart when you still had it 😂😂 just the way it was
It was definitely the sort of thing he would have. Haha. He’s always been more of a Plymouth guy though, except for his ‘68 Dart (which he still has, rotting at the ranch)
That's awesome man that's a dream car I've always wanted a 64!
"Always remember... something" LOL You remind me a little bit of Doctor Demento.
One of the absolute coolest MOPARS ever made as well as one of the coolest cars ever made period !!!!
You riding passenger in that sounds exactly like my friends when they rode in my 78 camaro. No dash, no cluster, no rear seats, lawn chair ratchetstrapped to the floor....more bondo than floor...
Haaaahaha. Classic.
Awesome car!👍
"Floor panels are extra clutch.pedals are mandatory" You should make that a shirt
Yeah you’re right… I’ll add it to my list!!
He hit the jackpot with that car.
Wow....a bunch of those parts on that car are the same as on my 1964 Chrysler 300K! Door handles, etc
The optional car seats cracked me up. Call cps 😂 a Karen would call the abuse we call it normal life😂 however I love 64s and miss my savoy. You remember that one Jamie. 10 seconds of fun.
Looks just like my first car back in High School. Dammit, it runs and sounds like it to! Just like re-living my youth. 🤭🤣👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Seems safe enough. I can smell the "old car" smell from here. Also, at least he's driving it versus "I'm going to restore it one day" mentality where it just sits in the garage collecting mice nests and black widows.
Yep. He basically rescued it from some day jail and put it on the road immediately. It has gone through a few phases, and he did actually threaten to paint it a few years ago. It needs so much before that could ever happen. It’s better enjoyed as it is.
64 Plymouth sport fury, 👍 my first car purchase high school.
best of luck from bellingham!
ive got 72 d100 with a 360, and a 67 dart im gonna put a twin turbo 318 in
HELL YEAH BROTHER 👍
Here on Cleetus McFarland TH-cam channel.
Thats awesome!!
I had a 63 fury, push button auto. Great bracket racer.
Raw fun! 😄
64's ROCK!!!
Wondered where all the old Mopars had gone. Now I know....
Oh yeah. They’re all at our place…
Its cool as heck
I've loved '64 Fury's since I was a child. Unfortunetly they ALL got the piss hammered out of them in these parts. Then they rusted into Mother Earth.
This one absolutely got hammered… it is definitely trying to return to Mother Earth too but hasn’t quite made it yet.
In 64 lap type seatbelts were mandatory for the first time. 63 was the last year they were optional. The first full mass production car they were optional in was the 55 Ford and the other manufacturers quickly followed suit in offering them as an option.
Ah, interesting. I guess I have been remembering that wrong for a long time. A guy in high school had a Ranchero that never had them. I’ve always thought it was a ‘64, but I guess it must have been a ‘63.
"And in conclusion............... I don't know". 🤣🤣
I am an eternal optimist. When that clutch slips a little more and that engine smokes a little more it will still sound and look like you're doing a wicked burn out lol
🥲🤣
It's more than cool
It's furious!😂👍
I ll take it in a heartbeat
You crack me up!😂
Oh yea.. i dig it
Awesome video as always. What's up with the green truck I saw in the background?😊
The crew cab? More on that later. Haha. There is also a green ram. That’s a job.
Everyday of the week!
Oooooohhhhhh nice!
It needs work but , that will look reallyCool when complete …. 383 Police interceptor would work great in it 😊
the battery thing. I had 1968 mercury Montego MX. I was the second owner. I bought it from a junk yard for $150.00. It did run but could not get out of its own way. Leaving the junk yard I heard a loud bang. The battery fell into the fan. It was not a clutch fan.
Yep… ouch.
I have had two failures of plastic "inline" filters bursting/leaking due to ethanol gas eating glue in the seam. Run metal ones if you don't want a fire!
Interesting. I have seen the glue fail on the filter elements, but I’ve never had one leak. I like being able to see what’s going on in there. I have had those awful three piece glass filters fail multiple times, however, one of which did result in a spectacular engine fire.
That truck is cool
Be happy with what you have
Did the car seats for the children come standard in 1964 or was that an extra cost option?
Definitely an optional extra, and it wasn’t cheap either
8:41 looking at those dents we can see it has been working OMG
It’s seen… some stuff
Certainty a cool car 😊
i dig it
Greetings from Ireland🍀🍀🍀. Ive just found your channel and subscribed,looking forward to your content. The Fury is the Christine of the early 60s does the odometer go backwards!!! Its got that Christine rumble for sure when you stamp on the accelerator 👍👍👍👍. My family bought an avenger brand new and it had rust on the roof in 90days!!!!
Over here I had something similar from the Chrysler family a rusty Hilman Avenger aka Plymouth Cricket when it crossed the ocean. One night the back axle decided to go it's own way and take the floor with it not a good thing at 60 MPH!!!! I got mine for the rear light cluster look!! I didn't learn from the family experience!!
@@FenderTele Those Chrysler & Dodge re-badged Mitsubishi vehicles had poor rustproofing.
Can still find Crickets, D-50 trucks, and rarely Plymouth Arrows over here in Washington & Oregon.
Just like Bob Glidden and The Hot Rod Shop back in '78-80, swapping in a small block Mopar V8 is a lot of fun.
That Arrow was a Extremely quick car.
@@dantupper1784 Our avenger had a strange fault and it rusted within weeks the roof was covered in rust spots, not a good look on a new car that was white!!!!!
@@FenderTele WOW!!!
That must have been awful!
Did the dealership try to make amends?
@@dantupper1784 initially they wanted to re paint the roof!!!!!!!!!!! I can still remember it to this day😂😂. My father walked into the showroom and turned the air blue, he was like ok I've a car about 3 months old and it needs paint.,they upgraded him to a higher spec one. The original one was used as a courtesy car when someone had their car in for a service
Stance is great
The smoke will help keep the mosquitoes down...
I want that car!😊😊
Needs some sheet metal and a few cans of Bondo plus some stop leak otherwise your in good shape.
Bad Ass, mopar or no car!🤠
That's the first car I almost bought when I was 15 now 61 it was red with red interior bucket seat and console a little rust all for a hundred bucks what a deal my parents wooden let me have it still pisses me off to this day
Interesting .
At least the clock is right twice a day!😅
It needs an emblem
Some roadkill with xs for eyes 👍
You said push button. is that like a fluid drive trans. like the Rambler?
No, although they also had those. Push button is a regular automatic but shifted with buttons on the dash, plus a park lever in later years like this.
Hey. It had a new Ballast resistor!! What more do you need?? LOL
Seriously tho!
I learned the hard way to keep a spare ballast resistor in my 73 Van after I got stuck
The beauty of classic cars as daily
Classic Car: Can buy one not too pretty or too rough to drive (depending what it is) for $5k or less
Brand new car: $30k for a base model, enjoy
Classic car: Can have as much power or torque as you want depending on the amount of elbow grease you use
Brand new car: Enjoy your 1.5L with 150hp and -3 torque
Classic car: Will always work as it should if you maintain it
Brand new car: Will always be a piece of shit from the factory. Enjoy your monthly recall or software update and thousands of dollars in repairs after the warranty runs out before the payments do.
Having lived daily driving classic cars exclusively for many years, I have to counter that with
Classic car: dumb little things will go wrong frequently. Today your voltage regulator is bad for a third time. Your brand new alternator exploded for no reason. Surprise! Your choke doesn’t work anymore. Your fuel pump is pumping fuel just fine, but suddenly most of it is going into the crankcase for a special treat. Your new belts squeak just like your old belts! All of those bits of rust and grime that have been rolling around in the tank for thirty years just found their way to your fuel pickup, and the truck you drove two hours without issue yesterday won’t run anymore today. Enjoy your time spent on the side of the road!
With that caveat, I agree 😁 and it’s usually simple stuff that is easily diagnosed and fixed.
That narrator sure sounds familiar. Maybe like the guy from a youtube channel that goes around to explore some of the worst cities in America ? He has a unique delivery that's easy to remember (even for a 60yo,lol).
Well, that’s interesting. I definitely don’t have a channel where I go around and explore the worst cities in America. I might live in one? Depending on who you ask…
@@DeadDodgeGarage Lol..i guess any city is "ok" to live in if you have a vintage Mopar, (mine is a '65 Coronet 4 speed). Sorry about mistaking your voice for someone else. (I'm old,it happens,lol). I have to go watch & find "who", in my subscriptions,sounds like you.Has your narrator done any speaking on other TH-cam channels ? His (your ?) delivery is very engaging & "almost" unmistakable.
I'd buy it in a hot second just to piss off my wife.
She's awesome in every way but the one drawback is that she wants cars to be pretty, even if they're badass classic MoPars.
I’d drive it every day
that a lifter or exhaust leak ?
yes .
It's more than I have I've had mopars for years now can't afford one I'd love to have that my luck is dragging one out a feild and trying to find motor and everything to get it running again.and that 64 is something you don't see to often you can name your price mopars are pricey especially a running one
I know. It’s a bummer. But I’ll tell you what, I have been coming across really good deals again lately. They are still out there - but far less plentiful for sure, and generally much more expensive. I have always been one to grab a cheap project to have fun with. It’s not as easy to do that anymore.
@@DeadDodgeGarage thank you stay safe out there .
Love kno where u get this car inspected!! Lmao
We don’t 😁
Sooner or later the pin in the hinge will break, so you may as well fix it 😅
Is that the 3 speed out of the volaré
No the Volare is still together. I might need that for something else though…
Annual vehicle inspections are very lenient in this state, allowing citizens to get every last measure from a nonrenewable resource. It's good for the planet.
It would be a hoot to see a big rat snake drop out of that headliner onto the back of someone's neck.
Someone else said something about rat snakes yesterday. Haha. Luckily we don’t seem to have a snake problem around here.
Here in the UK cars this old are MOT ( Inspection / whatever ) exempt , just as well as this would fail --------- on everything , i think just calling it incontinent would be a better way of saying it leaks everything everywhere , top motoring ,
Alright “incontinent” is a good one. Haha. I’m pretty sure this one would fail in various jurisdictions in America as well… pretty thankful to live in an area that doesn’t bother.
@@DeadDodgeGarage WANT MY SHITBOXES COME KISS ME FOR EM" LIBRULL
@@DeadDodgeGarage Anyhoo , keep up the great content - il be watching , you brighten up my days
If one filter is good, 2 is better!!!
Not bad for 69 year old car i like it
59, but we’re getting there. Haha.
Hope you got the ta 340 it's a ta and aar block only !
No it was long, long gone by the time the car got here. It last had an LA 318.
3:40 (ironic) more exhaust smoke than tire smoke.
The entire point of the shot 😁
@@DeadDodgeGarage You have a fine eye for cinematography. 😀
( needs to be higher in the back )
I do like that it has a Man Pedal
I wouldn’t make a list…just pick things to fix semi random, if I were you. A list would be…..
🤣
Just a bit of blow by... haha
😅
Brother looks like his fleet of cars, old and ratty. Can't wait to see what the wife looks like?
This will come as a shock but he’s not married
Maybe a pile but runs 😂
That would be a nice car to restore it and make some money by selling it!
I can’t even imagine what restoring that car would cost… It’s so rough. And at the end of all that, it’s still a 318 car. Not worth much.
Learn Leo fury needs a lot of good thing you own a shop
Miles Channel!!!
? I’m confused
“Lifter” HAHAHAH
So what I didn’t quite catch on camera is the fact that it doesn’t make oil pressure at all for like 10 seconds 😅 it’s more like a symphony of lifters
I love that car is he gonna sell it?
I don’t think he ever will. He entertained the thought once. More inclined to sell his Valiant I think.
I don’t blame them I love 64 Furys
Wait, your brother is the lead singer from The Spin Doctors?
Well, I’ll never unsee that now. They even apparently had a similar hat phase. Lol.
@@DeadDodgeGarage Your'e wel...come? 🙂
