Well that comes as a surprise to me ! Really! WOW..I went through 4-5 of them until I finally had some money and bought a Blazer. That was a great truck/ SUV to drive, especially when I moved up here in the mountains. That storm Dianne was complaint about is still raging here. Sorry I got side tracked by the sounds of the storm slashing against the windows, the thunder making me feel like the roof is coming down! Anyway, I saw an old VW beetle in mint condition last week and I was drooling over it! They will always be my one and only car I will always feel safe in. Maybe I could be a character in your book who drives a Beetle. I had the Herbie one once but sold it to make more money to travel. But if I was in your book I would love to either BE a regular old VW beetle or someone who drove one! You never fail to surprise me Nathan,

I love this car. I had never seen one until now. Find out about the drivetrain (engine transmission - automatic or manual) - frame etc for condition, it will be expensive to put back into really nice shape and if these are bad (especially a too rusted frame) it will add to your (or shop's) time and your expense.
This is something I wish I had a house with a garage for. Let us know if you do get it.

it is a 2 speed pushbutton automatic called the Powerflite, and it has the original 318, the guy wants 7,500 for the car and some parts, but he wants 4,500 for the car alone and we don't have that kind of money my mother said, the Plymouth Fury is an amazing car, though they're rare ! really rare at that, That is why I am getting a 1958 Savoy

I can only cite Flicker.com I don't have a link to the original owner...
I don't see this as a downgrade from a Fury - this is so COOL!

Yeah, I prefer the Fury or Belvedere models though, I like the Savoy two door hardtop coupes though the guy wants 4,500 without the extra parts, I love these old Plymouth's they seem to have been raised awareness of because of Christine

I don't wanna rain on your parade, Nathan, but do you have any idea of how much it would cost to restore that junker to the condition of the other pictured Plymouths? It would not be hard to drop $20k on a strip-to-the-frame project if you did most of the work yourself, more if you can't rebuild engines and transmissions, paint, and sew upholstery yourself, not to mention make parts you can't find anywhere. And that's assuming nothing is too rusty to use. Do your research, including whether the value of the restored car would justify the expense of restoration. Talk with other collectors. I'd expect that a Fury will always be more desirable to collectors than a Savoy.
Best of luck, whatever you decide. FWIW, I was given a rare Jaguar (1948 Mark IV, you can Google it) when I was 16. It wasn't in terrible shape, but it hadn't moved in 6+ years, and the engine would not turn. The gas in the tank and fuel lines had solidified into varnish. I tore the engine down to the crankshaft using mainly the tools from the kit in the trunk, cleaned and reassembled it with new rings, and bought a new battery. It started! But no way could I afford to insure it, it would have been foolish to rely on it as transportation, and my father wanted the driveway back, so I had to sell it. Since I was a naive kid, I let it go for much less than it was actually worth. It changed hands a few times, and eventually got completely restored by someone else. It would be decades before I'd have enough money to keep an old crock of a classic car as a toy, and I never really got the urge again. So, now I drive a 20-year-old Miata, which is dead-reliable and dirt cheap to keep running, though the interior is getting kinda shabby.

true, but some of the cars used in the movie were not actual Furies, some of them were Belvedere's, Savoys etc so I may be trying to restore a junker, but it isn't running anyway but the guy wants 4,500 for the car itself without the included parts, so if I ever get either 7,500 or 4,500 I'm trying to go both routes, but it wouldn't be hard to restore it anyway, because my mate has done it before on Jap cars and he may be able to do it on an American car, though this will be done up to look like this
