Sad

[Mr. Sinister]

At a local pick n pull looks like it was a strip and scrap, it looks very savable, the crossmember and front frame rails look good and someone replaced the rear lower quarters doors were nice. Look at how straight the passenger side is.

 

[rbkt65]

yup. too many gone before their time.

Still some useable parts in that one. It still had the manual steering gearbox and column, a complete 8 3/4 rear end with center section in place, and the cable shift slant six trans.

They don’t or can’t sell the whole car if they cannot get a proper title. So that one is doomed.

There is Ramcharger there too with a rear wheel drive 46RH trans. It was a running truck when it arrived, but had front collision damage.

The sad thing is it looks like it was someone's project car at one time and they never got the new floor in it.

That looks like someone's resto project. Lots of work to remove the floor pan. Got all the frame rails and trans X member cleaned up. Looks near ready for a new one.

Probably my favorite body style too. It's like seeing those abused dog commercials, how could someone do that?

 

[Demonracer]

Yeah, it's really sad to see the 64-65 Plymouth B body cars going away. They are my favorite of that era, at one time I owned 6 of them at the same time. It all started with the first 64 Sport Fury 426 wedge with a 4 speed and then I bought the other 5 over the next year. I worked on them and got them running, drove them on weekends. I slowly sold off the last 5 that I had acquired and put the money into the wedge motor car. After about fifteen years, I sold the wedge car and got into A bodies.

 

[Mr. Sinister]

‘64 Plymouth Fury 2 door hardtop is indeed my favorite car I had one years ago but money got tight so the car got sold.

 

[Demonracer]

Back during that time of my life, money wasn't tight. I bought and sold many cars, along with a "lot" of horse trading to build one of the nicest cars I've owned to date. That was the 64 Plymouth Sport Fury wedge car. I had the car in the car corral at a swap meet in Dallas just to let it be seen. A guy from Wisconsin offered me way more money than I had in it. I pondered on it for about 3 weeks and finally contacted him, we agreed on a delivered price. He put up a nonrefundable deposit and I drove it to Racine, Wisconsin. We went to his bank and got a certified cashiers check for the balance. He took me for my last ride in it to the airport. On the plane home, I had some sellers remorse for a while. Once home, I started looking into A bodies and the rest is history. LMAO

Whoever had the car brought there doesn't know anything about older cars and their historic value.
Or they didn't care...

 

[barbee6043]

Yes, I too have loved those early B cars!!! They used to be really affordable but....... the car in those aboce pics is a $10,000 project (yea asking price), with bill of sale, here in Texas!!!!!

Always sad to see these in yards as they typically won't or can't sell them whole and it is a lot of work and cost to snag all the good parts remaining off something like this.

This yard makes an effort to get a proper title for cars like this so they can sell it while. If all legal methods are exhausted then it goes in the yard because it can ONLY be parted and scrapped.
Most of the old cars like this one come from auctions. The best we can do is use as many parts as possible before it meets its doom.

That said, I am sad it cannot be saved because I too love this body style. Great looking front end.
