Re: 65 sport fury

[Bill Watson <wwatson5@xxxxxxxxx>]

The Sport Fury and Monaco models were built in Canada for the 1965 model
year.  But they were variations on the Fury III and Polara 880 and were not
given unique serial  number prefixes or model numbers,  Which is why they
are not mentioned in the front section of the Canadian 1965 parts catalogue.

But, go to section 23, Body Section, and page 23-169.  Note the heading :

1965 Plymouth Sport Fury AP1,2 -H (Special) 2 door Hardtop  (CANADIAN BUILT)


And on page  23-173

1965 Plymouth Sport Fury AP1,2 -H (Special) convertible coupe  (CAN. BUILT)


And for the Dodge Monaco - page 23-317 :
1965 Dodge Monaco AD1,2 -H (Special) 2 door Hardtop  (CANADIAN BUILT)

and page 23-223 :
1965 Dodge Monaco AD1,2 -H (Special) convertible coupe  (CANADIAN BUILT)

All Canadian-built 1965 Chrysler cars had that 11-digit serial number.  All
American-built Chrysler products used the 10-digit serial number, and that
includes cars built in the U.S. for the Canadian market, such as the
Chrysler 300-L, Newport and New Yorker wagons, Chrysler 300 convertible and
all Imperials.  The information on page INF-2 of the Canadian parts
catalogue is incorrect as far as American-built cars are concerned.

Clint,
First let me apologize, it was 3:00am when I wrote that e-mail. In 1965 we
could not get any B Bodies in Canada. The 65 Sport Fury is a C Body and was
available in Canada but built in the US. The Canadian cars had an 11 digit
serial number and the US cars had a 10 digit number. I am getting my info
from a number of books, The Chrysler Chronicle, The Plymouth history book,
the Standard catalogue of American cars, and the original Chrysler parts
manuals of which I have Almost all of from the mid 40's to 69 and then some
truck manuals from the 70's. When the Chrysler dealership sold here they
auctioned off all of the manuals and we bought most of them. We also have
numerous other reference books that we have collected over the last 35 years
of working on these cars. If you can get the serial number from the car I
can tell you what it is and where it was built. I also need to know whether
it is a 2 dr, 4 dr etc. to give you an idea of how many were made. The 318
is a wide block poly head engine. It is not a big block. They are not the
same. There are no 318 big blocks. hope that helps you.

We did the 62 Dart 330 model for Blaine Raymond and the 65 Belvedere Wagon
for Craig Baron both featured on the 62-65 B Body web site. Here are the
links if anyone is interested.

Hi there,
Just wondering where you are getting your info from. I'm looking for info
about 1965 Canadian Plymouths. A fellow down the street has a 1965 Sport
fury with a 318 Poly (or wide block or big block) Ive been told they are the
same engine?. He's asking a reasonable price but I would like to do some
research before committing to a deaI. I thought that it was a different trim
package that denoted a specific car(ie. Fury I, II, III or Sport edition).
The sport Fury package being the one with bucket seats and a console
shifter. Wouldn't happen to know why this car wasn't available in Canada
would you? Any info you could suplly would be a great help. Also. The car is
in Canda but I can only trace the history back to 1985. Thanks,

Clint
