*Hi, If you like this video, please click on the 🤍 THANKS button under the video title" Thank you! Lou*
Watched the 1960 Plymouth video. This car was mine in 1960, only not a convertible. I got mine brand new in January of 1960 on my birthday. I was 16 going to Thomas Downey High School in Modesto, CA. I was a junior and the only kid in high school that had a new car. Mine was all black. It had the swivel seats, the square Sterling wheel and the RCA record player. You talked about the speedometer bars, but I bet you didn't know that when the bars got to 120mph, they cleared and started over! Did it a number of times! With the torsion bolts you could lower the front, which was the style in 1960. The record player didn't skip over bumps or sliding around corners! But it sure did wear out the 45's! Had to disconnect the cables for the swivel seats due to the fact they would pinch the girls fanny who was sitting in the middle on the console lid. You can't imagine how much fun we had in that car. I had a San Francisco trolley car bell mounted under the hood with a pull switch on the dash and could replicate the SF trollies. By the way, George Lucas was a year behind me at Downey High. Small world.
@@richardferrario4414 I learned to drive in my sisters new 1959 Plymouth. The trans buttons were vertical but I seem to recall a "PARK" lever that you manually moved in a slot next to the buttons to put the car transmission in PARK. Did your 1960 have a lever under those trans select buttons? I might be thinking of a newer car I drove, I'm 80 so the memory isn't what it used to be.
That beauty isn't just a car, it's a work of craftsmanship and lots of TLC. Gosh, all that beautiful Chrome too. Cars now are seemingly built more for profit, using the flimsiest looking parts, and costing thousands, and to work on today's vehicles, you practically need two degrees, one in engineering and the other in computer science. Some shops want to do a diagnostic check, one wanted $155 just for my '92 Toyota Camry to check a rough idle( could be sensor or fuel injection) have another guy that doesn't bother with that, he's very honest too. Going to him next week, he is swamped with work this week. US Auto mfg used. To be the envy of the world, thanks for these videos, Lou
That car is drop dead gorgeous, it pains me to know that cars like this will never be again, thank God we have those who spend their lives restoring and preserving them.
Hi James, High praise for the looks of this car :-) Glad to share this one with you, Lou
One of the most dedicated and remarkable restorations I've ever seen. 99.9999% of car enthusiasts would have kept walking lol.
Hi C Howard, High praise for this restoration :-) Lou
God bless Randy for saving that beauty! Only 2 years!? He raised that Exner classic from the ashes. One of the most iconic finned cars ever! Thanks Lou.👏👏👏
Hi Ramon, AMEN ! You're welcome, Lou
If someone brought me a car in that condition, I'd lock the doors and pretend I wasn't home.... thankfully, there are insane people crazy enough to take on an impossible project and end up with a beauty like that...
I agree, this one when you looked at it was already gone.
@Five Star Media
Coldwarmotors YT channel has a series building another 60 Fury that began in about the same condition.
@Five Star Media W0W! MY all-time FAV car is the 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 KR convertible! It has the 428 CID IIRC?
Fearless design! As a kid back in the day, every new model year was Christmas to us. This car is a good example of what excited us. Anything was possible. My applause to these restorers who had the courage and followthrough to see this restoration to the finish. Future enthusiasts will delight that someone went on this adventure.
Hi M A, Happy to read you enjoy this "Fearless design!" :-) Glad to read this one brings back good memories, Lou
I was in grade school when this monstrosity hit the streets. While I'm impressed with the quality of the restoration, this was the point where Virgil Exner clearly lost his mind. The next two years for Plymouth and Dodge were staggeringly bad; it seemed like Exner had been watching The Jetsons and dropping LSD.
Yes!!! Exner was fearless until the wrath of the Chrysler accountants came to prominence in 58.... Exner's F-you to Chrysler and the accountants was the 61-64 model's, according to those in the know, who my Dad knew.
I mean seriously, under the hood was as much art as the exterior design. Exner was a genius who was treated like a bastard stepchild by Studebaker and then by Chrysler when they believed GM's propaganda which led to Exner's F-you design. Sad day when Exner was shown the door.
One of my favorite car models to assemble is this 60 PLYMOUTH. And now seeing it in real life, well wow!
Happy to read this is a favorite of yours :-)
One of my favorite models too have you seen the 60 Chrysler imperial two doors Frank troost has one on Lou's channel if you haven't seen it it is a beautiful green one that Frank owns beautiful!
What an absolutely stunning and gorgeous car! The restoration is incredibly amazing! Looking at the 'before' picture I would never believe the end result would be possible. Major kudos to all involved!
Hi Steve, High praise :-) I agree, the restoration is amazing, Lou
I have the deepest admiration for Mike Swedal and his father. That is magnificent work that few can achieve.
Thanks Lou and Randy. Beautiful car.
Yes! It's DEF artwork in action!
Hi discerningmind, High praise for the work to put this car back together again :-) You're welcome, Lou
Suddenly it's 1960 and beyond. Far out Plymouth, thanks for the ride Randy, Mike, and Lou.
Hi Chris, Happy to take you back to 1960 with this video :-) You're welcome, Lou
Hey Lou, Randy and Mike! WOW WOW WOW! Watching this video launched my spirits into the STRATOSPHERE! "Arrive in a huff...leave in a FURY!"
Hi Jeffrey, Happy to read "WOW WOW WOW! Watching this video launched my spirits into the STRATOSPHERE!" :-) Lou
Mike is a genius; a modern Michael Angelo!🤗
Funny my spirits only went up a couple hundred feet nice car though
Back in the sixties, the bass player in a band I was hanging out with had a 1966 Chevy convertible with a record player. It was freaky to hear 45s played in a car. Beautiful car.

Lou - what a find! From a rust bucket to a fully restored piece of art.
Even by today’s standards this car still looks futuristic.
Beautiful car!
Great video!
Robert - Happy to read you enjoy this find :-) Thank you for the kind words on this video, Lou
This car was WAY beyond a rest-bucket! These guys brought it back from the DEAD! KUDOS to all involved!
Jetsonesque
What a transformation! Unbelievable restoration - truly incredible, almost unbelievable.
Great worksmanship and attention to detail. Two years does seem fast to complete this job. The father had good vision to be able to see this when he saved it from the bulldozer.
Thanks for bringing this to us Lou!
Hi Jeff, Happy to share this "Unbelievable restoration" with you :-) My pleasure sharing this with you. You're welcome, Lou
Hard to imagine that the car would turn out like it did from where it came from, the builder is definitely great at what he does, beautiful car lou, thanks so much
Hi Bruce, Amazing restoration for sure. You're welcome, Lou
Over the years, I've been treated to some really cool cars. My Dad operated a car lot after he sold his restaurants. We had an inventory of 15-20 autos and, always had a few 'special' units...'70 Boss 302, '69 Shelby GT 500 and a host of Corvettes. This Plymouth is a 'stunner,' a rare piece of automotive history--it looks sensational. Lou, of all the You Tubers doing this type of video; you are certainly among the best. Thank you for your efforts and, even if your wife forgets to jump for joy when you come home, know you're in good company.
Hi Andrew, High praise for this "stunner" :-) You're welcome, Lou
Thanks for posting Lou. Great work by Randy and Mike for rescuing this beauty. I'd never heard of the Sonoramic Commando, so I've got some googling to do.
Me neither Ray! I'm gonna look it up too!
Hi Ray, Happy to share this "beauty" with you :-) Lou
This was Plymouth's name for the ram inducted 'crossram' optioned motors.
@@noelhastalis6785 Thanks for the info
My uncle had a new 1960 Plymouth Sports Fury with a Golden Commando engine. If I remember, it had bucket seats in the front. He drove it fast and hard.
Wow, the restoration is miraculous and the Fury is beautiful especially in this caramel/milky white color combination.
Awesome colors in and out; perfect harmony. So few of these around.👍
Hi boson, Happy to share this car with you :-) Lou
Lou, I bought my grandpas car when I was 15. It was a 60 Plymouth Fury Wagon. It was a big boat. White and had a 318. I drove it all over the place. My favorite feature about it was the speedometer. Those were the fun days. This is a real find here Lou! Pretty rare car being a convertible.
Hairy Larry, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Grandpas Wagon :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
This one amazing transformation from start to finish. Someone has a lot of talent in their hands. Beautiful car.
Hi Czech Mate, High praise for Mike the restorer on this car :-) Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car. Me too, Lou
@@loucostabile The color combinations are perfect Carmel and Cream 👍👍
Talk about a rags to riches story! It's amazing how these guys can resurrect these old classic Mopars, and bring them back to pristine condition! That Fury is drop dead gorgeous! They left no stone unturned with this particular example! Nice find as always, Lou! 👍
Hi Michael, You're right, this car was resurrected. Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car, Lou
Great fins and great chrome! I think that kid on the cover of the brochure must have liked what he saw, too. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Happy to share this fins & chrome car with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
This Fury is nothing less than phenomenal . From what it was in a river bed to this is the work of a sorcerer . Just unbelievable ! Thanks for sharing.
Hi Michael, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
WOW! speechless!
Incredible restoration & dedication! Thanks for sharing.
High praise for this restoration :-) You're welcome.
DEDICATION is the KEY word here! It's NOT easy restoring rare oldies, bc so many parts are unavailable! We need much patience searching for parts from all areas of the Continent! I think this hobby has improved in the past little while bc there is a DEMAND for classic car parts more now than ever! When I had my 1965 Mustang conv. in the early 80s there were some parts available from re-manufacturers in the USA. The ads were in the back of different magazines back then. Now we have the internet to make it easier to track parts.
An incredible restoration!!.. Especially from where it started from!!
Hi Tom's Models, Agree, this car looking like this from where it started is unbelievable, Lou
Lou always makes sure that the cars and the people associated with the cars are the stars of his videos. This is another great video.
Hi Randy, Works out best that way :-) Appreciate your kind words on the video, Lou
This is literally a resurrection of a true American classic. A museum class restoration these guys must have quite a clientele I wish them much success and this car story is a classic as well.
Thank Lou
Hi David, Happy to share the "resurrection" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Wow Lou, you know the car is a stunner when you have JFK admiring it at one o’ clock!
What a jewel.
Congratulations to all involved in this wonderful project.
Hi Billace 90, Happy to share this "Jewel" with you :-) Lou
If that were an original 1960 Plymouth color, I could see them calling it "caramel bronze."
Great video as always Lou! As you probably know, TH-camr "ColdWarMotors" has been restoring a 1960 Plymouth 2 door hardtop. He has done quite a bit of heavy metal surgery on that baby. I think he replaced both rear quarter panels because of too much Alberta rust. But I think the restoration story on this car upstages even CWM's effort.
Hi Marshall, Thank you for the kind words on the video. Appreciate you sharing the tip on ColdWarMotors" too, Lou
Lou, This thing is amazing! I am always astounded that the body style of Plymouth's went from the grandiose style of this '60 to the "style by committee" '63 Savoy...ooof.
Hi Audie, Happy to read "This thing is amazing!" :-) Lou
Absolutely amazing restoration!
Agreed
Unfreakingbelievable!!!! To call that magnificent ride a basket case is beyond an understatement 😉. Randy thanks for continually sharing your treasure trove of a beautiful classic majestic vehicles. And Mike you are the restorer whisperer 😝
Hi Terry M, Happy to read this one is "Unfreakingbelievable!!!!" :-) Lou
Words fail me... Tell the truth, this is the most amazing My Car Story I've ever seen. I totally love a '60 Fury - Virgil Exner's masterpiece. And with the 383 "SonoRamic Commando" it's an extraordinary car. As same as Mike's restoration work. Wow! Thank you so much for this video, Lou. I have to add it to my playlist.
Hi Plymouth Die-Cast Replicas, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou
Absolutely stunning transformation from levee support to rolling masterpiece.
High praise for this transformation into a masterpiece :-)
WHAT a TREAT Lou! I am so happy you met this crazy MOPAR man. He has all of my Favorites!
Hi gene978, Happy to share this "MOPAR Man" and his cars with you :-) Lou
I am in love with this car!! The fins, the chrome, and a convertible, too! Great restoration!

Stunning restoration, good color for that car.Just wow,they never looked that good!
Hi Richard, High praise on this restoration. Happy to receive a "Just wow" from you :-) Lou
Love the 60 plymouth.! An amazing restoration of a pile of ( basically ) junk.! I'd like to know how many man hours it took to bring this one back to life... and only 2 years. ! Fantastic Fury ! Thanks Lou & Randy, and to Mike ,for his great restoration work. !
Hi Kevin, Happy to read you "Love" this car :-) Glad to share what this car looked like to start with in an amazingly quick time. You're welcome, Lou
Incredible Restoration and Plymouth. Love this car! Bring's back wonderful memories for sure! Huge Mopar fan and learned to drive in a '68 Fury.

An amazing restoration to be proud of, first class. A car with tail fins at their best. A real gem, the RCA record player, just imagine in 1960 driving along listening to the latest Chubby Checker hit. Such nostalgia !
Hi Derek, Happy to read you appreciate the work on this restoration :-) Glad to read you enjoy this "real gem". Lou
Great Treat Lou, Randy and Mike. Loving this after watching Scott on Cold War Motors restoring his!
Hi CJ Design, Happy to read you enjoy this "Great Treat" :-) Lou
Absolutely stunning. Almost brings a tear to my eyes. Even the parts it took to put that car together are rare as hen's teeth. I owned a 1962 Fury hard top with the 318 Polly, back in the 1990's, which the designer Virgil Exner called "plucked chickens", due to their lack of fins. Even when I had my 62, parts were next to impossible to get ahold of because of how few of these mid-century modern Chryslers survived due to rust issues and lack of interest. I think I spent close to $1,000 just to get the brakes sorted out back then. I still believe Wes Craven's movie "Christine" saved many of these once forgotten "forward look" Mopar's.
Hi The1cdccop, High praise :-) Happy to read this car brings back memories of your 1962 Fury :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
While "Christine" was a John Carpenter movie, I believe your sentiment exactly. In fact, Stephen King wrote the book in part as a remembrance of a '58 Plymouth he once owned. The build is just fabulous. Nearly unbelievable!
This car is so spectacular and so large that it deserves its own zip code. Beautiful car and a amazing restoration. Love that color as well!
Hi Tom, High praise :-) Lou
GREETINGS. From Venezuela, WOW! WOW! IMPRESSIVE PLYMOUTH FURY CONVERTIBLE. Super cool Caramel/Milky color combination. Mr.Lou, Thank you very much for showing us this INCREDIBLE CONVERTIBLE. Mr. Lou, Thanks for taking us along for a ride ride. As always an EXCELLENT AUTOMOBILE VIDEO.
Greetings Alejandro, High praise :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
I'm always amazed by the cars you find to showcase on your channel but I have to say that this one flabbergasted me!! To see where it came from to its total restoration was truly amazing!
Thanks Lou for another great
" My Car Story" !!😉
Hi George S, Happy to read this one "flabbergasted me!!" :-) You're welcome, Lou
This is my favorite year for the Fury. Incredible restoration! Mopar Candy 😁
Hi David, Happy to read this is your favorite Fury year :-) Lou
Incredible !! From a junkpile , to a showpiece !! This is an award winning restoration .
Hi Mark, Happy to read you appreciate the work that went into restoring this "showpiece" :-) Lou
Yeah Lou, What foresight these gentlemen have to save a heap off the side of a hill and transform it into a JEWEL such as that! Like you said "Jaw Dropping". God Bless America and the men that keep this hobby going!
Yeah lonnyjaw, Happy to share this JEWEL with you. AMEN! Lou
Great example of a 60 Fury. 🤩🤩🤩
I've been watching a restoration on 'Cold War Motors'. Unbelievable what it takes, to end up with a beautiful stock Fury, from very little.
Hi asteverino, Happy to read you enjoy this "Great example" :-) Lou
I absolutely agree with all the other comments and anything I have to say is an understatement - this is an incredible piece of work. Mike is a dedicated craftsman (+ magician!)
The record player is a quirky unit - I don't think these ever really took-off as a popular option? Would have been fun to see it work.
Thanks for bringing us this video.
Hi N Mcg, Happy to read you enjoy the restoration of this car :-) I agree, you rarely see the record player so it must not have worked to well. You're welcome, Lou
Hard to believe it only took 2 years for the restoration.
Right! I think his black 300G took 8 years!😳
Hi Pete, I agree, this build in this time is amazing. Lou
Ikr,I mean from where he started????
Phenomenal restoration job!!!! That is such a beautiful car and that color definitely looks like a tasty caramel candy cube!!!! Awesome car!!!
Hi Hobiemarty, High praise :-) Lou
Wow now that's an engine! How about playing "Bad To The Bone" on the record player? Awesome Fury fellas thanks for this feature 👍
Hi Bruce H., Happy to receive a "Wow" from you :-) You're welcome, Lou
Lou. My God. One of my favorite Plymouths. This almost brought me to tears. It's beautiful.
Edmund. Happy to read this one is a favorite of yours :-) Lou
Yow!!! Not just back from the dead but dead and buried !!!!
After that i'm speechless.
Unreal.
Hi Glen, High praise for this "back from the dead but dead and buried !!!! " restoration work :-) Lou
What a restoration! Love the "puffies!" The owners and restorers are automotive talent wizards!
Hi Rob, Happy to read you appreciate this restoration :-) I agree, Mike is a talent wizard! Lou
Chrysler had some of the most outrageous designs back then! What a beautiful old car. The restoration is unreal!
Hi Chris, Happy to read you appreciate the work of this restoration and looks of this car :-) Lou
1960 pretty much marked the end of giant vertical fins. With this car they went out with quite the exit! Thanks Lou!
Hi Mountain Climber, Happy to share this car with "giant vertical fins" with you. You're welcome, Lou
Magnificent restoration of the 1960 Plymouth Fury Convertible. A high fin, gorgeous chrome and powerful Chrysler classic ! Congratulations to the professional restorers ! Thanks, Lou for this video . Those cars are real works of art, luxury and comfort.
Hi Juan, Happy to read the details and restoration work you enjoy with this car :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
Wow! Bringing it back to 100% like new from the point of extinction is really amazingly remarkable. Kudos to you guys!
Thanks for sharing you appreciate the work to restore this car :-)
The fact that he literally took a piece of rusted out trash into a new car is quite amazing.
Hi Nicky Naime, Happy to read you're amazed by the restoration of this car. I am too, Lou
I saw pictures of this car before its restoration years ago...It gave me incentive to save my Dads ROUGH 61 Chrysler NewYorker two door as well as I bought a Fury two door...
Hi Jay, Happy to read this car gave you an incentive. Hope your Dads 1961 Ne Yorker turns out the way you like it, Lou
Magnificent! I wonder how many donor cars, assisted with restoration? The speedo I believe is termed "ribbon" for the red strip that advances. Serious reverse lights keep folks from getting impaled by a giant fin. I recently learned the chrome edging conceals a weld of two difficult body panels, pretty and purposeful. Ahh the days of Plymouth, when they were serious car makers before the mini van jelly bean era.
Hi Pat, Happy to read "Magnificent!" :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
What a beautiful dash. I really enjoy the closeups and consistency from video to video - I know what I’m going to get. Great job Lou!
Hi AustinEVPLab, I video the way I'd like to get to know the Care Takers and the cars, and I'm happy to read you're enjoy the way I'm sharing. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Thank you for saving these wonderful masterpieces of American history.
Hi Peter L, Thankfully other people are saving them, however I'm having a BLAST videoing them to share with you. You're welcome, Lou
What gets me with this is the the beautiful design and styling that went into this which is simply breathtaking.

I was born in 1956 and became aware of cars at an early age. I don’t remember ever seeing many 1960 Plymouth’s.
I missed by 2 days,Those Kelsey Hayes wheels look super too,& the mirror & steering wheel & its just a Plymouth.
Hi Dave, Happy to read you became aware of cars at an early age :-) NICE! Lou
😧😀😁😍😥😭😭😭😭💛
I literally misted up!! Such a dream! My hat is off to Mr. Swedal & his dad!
A 'Rags to Riches' story for this Fury & deservedly so.
There's nothing much better than a Fury, especially 50's-60's!
Thanks tons, Lou for this most amazing, "My car story!"
p.s. A local car show in my area, Pardeeville, Wisc (Not to be missed, 200-300 fabulous machines in a picturesque park by a lake, Sept. 3rd, '22) usually we (among the many 'rad rides' lol) see a '60 Fury droppy in red & it's dynamite, as well..a jaw dropper! These beauts must be seen in person..as amazing as your footage is 🎞🎥💥💯✨⭐💛
Hi TomJ440, Happy to read your comment :-) You're welcome. Thanks for the tip on the show, Lou
Really love the mid 50’s onward Chrysler products Lou! You are the king of classic cars on You Tube. Thank you for your time and effort showing us these beautiful cars from the past. Thx again Lou!
Hi David, Happy to share this "classic car" with you :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
That's amazing. I never would have thought you could rebuild a car in such bad condition. Amazing. Great job Mike!
Hi John G, I agree, this cars restoration is amazing, Lou
Amazing 1960 Plymouth Fury convertible. Incredible restoration from junk pile to show room condition. A time travel to the real luxury huge convertible cars. The engine sound is furious and unique. The horn sounds off Plymouth! Thanks for the video.
Hi Juan, "Incredible restoration from junk pile to show room condition" You're right. It's "Amazing". My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome, Lou
That car is awesome. I am glad there are guys out there saving these rare rides.
Happy to read you enjoy this "awesome" car :-)
Randy has enough cars to start a museum
You're right :-)
now she's a stunner, and I love the record player, they sound way better than CD's and/or MP3's or 4's anyway, should bring those back as an option today!
and talk about rising from the ashes and becoming a newer and better version of itself --- everything is stunning from the engine/paint/interior and Caddliac eat-your-heart-out with those massive fins!!! oh the fins
Hi SRT8Driver, Happy to share this "stunner" with you :-) Lou
Great job in this restoration I used to own a number of Plymouth fury’s! Beautiful!
Hi Lyall, Happy to read you appreciate the work on this car :-) Glad to read you had some fun Fury's too, Lou
I had to return and watch this again. That's a $200K Plymouth all day.
Hope you come back again, and again, and again...... :-)
Wow, what an amazing restoration ! However, I think it’s possible that “NOS parts” went into its rebuild as well. I think that “manhole cover” that you referred to was actually Chrysler’s answer to the “Continental Kit.” Some reviewers even call it a “toilet seat!” I hope you’re not “flushed with anger” over that moniker, Lou?
Hi Fred, High praise on this restoration. When it looks this good, whatever they call it is ok with me :-)
The 60 Fury is so over the top in detail that it really should have been labeled as a Chrysler, or maybe even as a Sport Imperial.
I can't imagine being the assembly line foreman in 1959 having to explain to the workers that for 1960 they were expected to build rolling art. Must have been a revolt though as by '62 the chrome (stainless) and other features were seriously toned down.
Hi Freedomquest08, Happy to share this "rolling art" with you :-) Lou
An absolute rolling piece of artwork, Jewelry on 4 wheels. This is when Detroit used to build car WE wanted, remember those days???
High praise.
Got to love the early 60's, I remember those steering wheels, he recreated a work of art, very impressive .
High praise :-)
Randy Guyer is a legend. Send him some Hamm’s beer.
NICE! :-)
I’m a ‘49 model myself so I’m old enough to remember being fascinated by a 1960 Fury two-door in my hometown in the center of California back in its day. As for the restoration work seen here, it’d be impressive if it was a “barn find”, dirty and dented, but resurrecting a thrashed heap from a riverbank borders on miraculous.
Extraordinary work!
Hi Life Happens!, "resurrecting a thrashed heap from a riverbank borders on miraculous. Extraordinary work!" I agree, Lou
That's the most incredible restoration I've ever seen!
Hi Syd, High praise :-) Lou
Undoubtedly an excellent restoration of a true 60s classic.Great work,keep it up.
Hi Pranil, Happy to read you enjoy the restoration work done on this car :-) Lou
I have to admit that the looks of a 1960 have grown on me. I used to think they were hideous but now I like them. I would have walked away from what that car once. Can’t believe it was brought back to life. Restoration costs HAD to far exceed the value BUT the results are a total WOW! I can’t imagine the number of hours or the TALENT that was required!
Hi Craig, Cars have an amazing way of looking better with age :-) Lou
I'm not an expert but they took that restoration & hit it out of the park.Eye candy everywhere..
Can't believe they restored it that good.
Like a magic trick.
A car from a age when everyone had a place , and everyone knew their place .

I've really got to stop watching your videos because I find myself wanting one of all of these cars. I love the uniqueness and innovations of mid-'50s to early '60s cars. Love those swivel seats and the clear steering wheel!
Happy to read you're enjoying the video :-) Glad to read the details you see.
Fantastic! A car that looks like it's ready to go into outer space! Love it! 👍
Happy to read "Love it!" :-)
Impresionante restauración! Sobretodo por las condiciones en las que se encontraba este Plymouth Fury 1960! Este vehículo me hizo recordar al de la película de miedo Christine de 1983... Aunque esta restauración, en verdad, estuvo de miedo! Por lo de como quedó al final, jaja. Saludos cordiales!
Hi Jaime, Happy to share the story of this restoration with you, and glad you're impressed :-) BTW - Here is Christine. Enjoy! Lou th-cam.com/video/zfUDFHLfgdc/w-d-xo.html
The pinnacle of Plymouth . Thanks.
High praise John :-) You're welcome.
The "Wheel Chalk" that Randy talked about was probably in many cars in the early 1960s. My grandfather usually had Cadillacs from that era, and when he bought a new boat, they had to put on the emergency brakes and use the "wheel chalk" to block the wheels. Unfortunately, my Uncle, who was 25 then, got caught between the boat and the car, and it killed him. That was in the TC area around 1962. But anytime you can show the late 1950s or early 1960 Plymouth like this one, it's a winner. These cars were speedy!
HI Jed, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Grandfathers cars :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
It's called a wheel chock.
Absolutely gobsmacking!!! Do folks understand what we've lost???
Hi Phil, Thank you for sharing, Lou
I’m amazed how these cars get transformed into these elegant show cars, nice work. Really like the Kelsey Hayes spoke wheels.

Lou,
This restoration is truly amazing. Hard to believe considering what they started with.
Before I had the 66 Charger I had one of these Fury convertibles. Mine left the factory as a 318 column 3 speed.
I put a 361 auto in it out of a wrecked police car. Drove it everywhere with 4.56 rear gear, mostly down the dragstrips in Indiana. 😊
Gary,
I agree, this restoration is a magic trick! "Look a pile of rust...PRESTO! an Amazing 1960 Fury! :-) Glad to read this brings back memories of your Fury, Lou
Lou, all I can say is WOW!, and that steering wheel is the best, cheers.
Hi Eric, Happy to receive a "WOW!" from you :-) Cheers, Lou
What makes the restoration of this basket case even more impressive is the 1960 Fury was Uni-Body Construction
Thank you for sharing.
