Find Your Fury with this 1966 Plymouth Wagon

Sc1966 Plymouth Fury Wagon
Wagon Wednesday is one of my favorite days of the week. It gives me a reason to open up a tab on my browser, and then flood said browser with many more Craigslist tabs. Each one has a different wagon waiting patiently to find a new owner.
Today that wagon is a 1966 Plymouth Fury that could be a great daily-drivable project for a longroof lover out there.
Here’s the text from the ad in case it disappears:

Up for sale is my 1966 Plymouth Fury III wagon. It has been a fun car to own, but priorities lie elsewhere currently. Tags are current and it can be driven daily (I often do, actually). Title in MY NAME – so no craziness at the DMV. 318 Polysphere motor 2bbl – Automatic.
The good:
Body is straight
ALL exterior trim present and on car
Reliable drivetrain (can drive daily)
Electric rear window WORKS
3rd row bench seat IMMACULATE
Over 99% Rust-Free (some VERY TINY spots can be found)
Original Cert-Card still in engine compartment
The not-as-good:
One corner blinker out – all other exterior lighting works perfectly
Paint is there and looks nice – but is a thin economy job
Spare tire cover missing (inside car)
Dash light all work EXCEPT for speedometer backlight
The bad:
Radio is missing
Fan/Heat/AC non-functional
Cabin light on roof is out
One cam-lobe worn down so idle is rough (best to drop to neutral at stops to avoid stalling)
The Ugly:
Front and middle bench seats need upholstery (currently have seat covers on them)
One small area of body/trim damage on passenger front fender (easy bang-out job really)
The extras:
Extra 318 Poly motor on stand ready for installation – w/ 2bbl intake ($500+ value!)
Extra 4bbl Poly Intake Manifold ($400+ value!)
Extra NEW 4bbl Edelbrock 600cmf carb ($300+ value!)
Extra NEW heater motor ($30+ value!)
So, over $1000.00 in extra goodies that can be installed or re-sold.
Only asking $4000 obo!
Please feel free to come by and check it out and/or take it for a spin.

That’s a whole lot of extra gear added in there. A few weekends of mild wrenching on this thing and it will be an excellent cruiser. Someone go buy it so I can stop figuring out how to convince my neighbor they don’t need to use their garage, and should let me have more space.

    If the body is as good as it appears, that’s quite a deal. The interior and mechanical problems are relatively easy to correct, and the extra parts are yummy icing on the cake. Wish they had a shot of the tailgate.
