Plymouth Fury
 

Saw this one in 1985 inside a closed garage, also saw it still there
last week. AFAIK it has not been moved since 1985. Owned by old
farmer who was using a truck for tranportation, he died recently. I
have only seen this one from the rear end through the garage door.
Covered with decades of dust, didn't see any damage on the little bit
I could see of it.

Belongs to the estate of

"Bud" Mohr (not his real first name) of Colfax, WA.

No, just hoping that someone will be able to obtain this fine car and
save it from moldering into the dirt.

Would love to, if I had more info than just a "Plymouth Fury" (& some
extra cash). Year of car? Location? (state or even country would help). Do
you find cars for a fee? Are you a dealer? (not that I would mind either)

Never said what year it was yet. I did notice the state in his second
post... (more info would sure help). Too far away for me anyhoo, though.

Sorry about the year. I don't know it but am guessing the 60s, for
sure no later than early 70s by body style (what little I saw).

No, not a dealer or finder for fee. I just hate to see old cars left
to rust and hope someone might be interested. Post them in here and
elsewhere when I see one worth (I hope) the trouble for someone.

Location is SE Wa. Estate info on 'Bud' Mohr would be available
through the courts at Colfax, WA (county seat).

If you want to know God's opinion of money, just look at the people
he gives it to.

Well, I learned something. I am basically a Ford person, didn't
follow teh MoPar types at all. I wasn't even aware that the Fury was
built much after the 70s.

I will be careful to include better info in any future posts.

The name was in use almost to the end of the 80s. They called it the
"Gran Fury"; along with the very similar Dodge Diplomat it was one of
the stereotypical squad cars of the decade. See for instance
http://www.allpar.com/model/fury.html

Unless it is truly in little old lady/church/etc. condition or has
some special (and documentable) provenance, the cash value and
collector interest of that last generation would be modest. They're
decent enough grocery-getters if you get a good example.
