Could be that the original dual quad motor ended up in a hot rod when the car was just another used Plymouth in the sixties.

Anybody else notice that, in the last-pic (with the car parked inside some masonry-garage-type building), that the car's hood appears to be residing in a normally-opened position, but, in the outside shots, that somebody had apparently
"forced" the hood, and probably broke the hood hinges, in the process?

I wonder if an "informed" restorer would install a (probably-correct, for this car) 120 MPH speedo, or whether he would retrofit a 150 MPH unit "just-because" Furys were supposed to have them ?

If anyone is talking to the car's seller, I'd be curious to confirm the carb's brass-tag model-number.

The car's ownership history would be interesting to learn, too: 92K miles, then basically abandoned, but, relatively well preserved, after being put-away, AND without a lot of body-panel rust, or ANY significant
body damage!!

** ** * Back in 1958 I saw at least 3 different Fury's with 120 speedometers. At that time they were brand new. Two were sitting in the Chrysler Plymouth Showroom at two different dealerships. Years later I could not find one single one with a 120 speedometer. When I saw the new one with the 120 I asked the salesman why it had the wrong speedometer and he said some of them had 120's and some didn't. I think one plant install the 120 speedometer for a very short time. Seeing the Fury on E bay is the 4th one I saw now.!!!!! Back then a lot of people took the 2/4bbl carbs off and went to single 4 bbl. Hey kids were not buying them and the older people that liked the body style did not intend to race them or even drive them fast.*
