For nine years I owned a 68 Fury One Police I bought from a retired Powder Springs cop. Still had the decal on the door!!! 440 and built like a tank and drove and ran like one!!😁 Original red lights and siren. It was a blast!! It’s in a Mopar museum now for everyone to enjoy!’

God Bless You Steve for taking our minds off this ugly world of today and taking us back in time with rich automotive history and heritage. Thanks Brother!

Brings back memories. I learned to drive in a '65 furyII. Great family car back in the day.

Hi Steve, my dad had a 1965 Sport Fury and because it had a console shifted automatic they covered up the shift indicator with a little plastic piece with the hood ornament cast into it. On the police special in this episode you can see the column shift indicator to show which gear your are in (just above the steering column). When we were kids I used to show my friends this top secret hatch with the unused LSDRP underneath it- we thought it was cool. I think when I got my learners license it was probably fortunate for the general public that the car only had the underpowered 318 two barrel which made V8 noise but had 6 cylinder power. I might not still be around if it was a big block car. 😉Thanks for this episode Steve.

Back in 1968, my first car was a 1965 Plymouth Fury 1, it was a retired Detroit state patrol car, 383 auto..but, it was a captains car, a 2 door. All drum brakes, large ones

I wish I'd seen this video when it was new. I love the 1965 Fury.

Those 4 spot calipers are pretty hot for back in the day! Almost as good as the 4 piston calipers on 240 series Volvo's from the '70's - '80's

Of the many cars that I have owned in my life, I wish I still had my 65 Plymouth Satellite 2 door with 383 4bbl automatic with a shift kit.

My dad had this car when I was a kid. Back then, I didn't know why he was so particular about his car. (He was the original owner.) 383, just like this one.

I have a 68 fury with a 383 and a fast top it’s my daily driver and it’s damn boat!

When I was young, I bought a 1967 Plymouth Fury VIP Commando 2 door with a 838 Super Bee... was told it was an old Texas police car. I loved her, and can't even remember what I did with it, but I know police cars were 4drs.... so long ago:-/)

Police cars would all be 4-door Fury I's, like this one. Nonetheless, a '67 VIP with a 383 Super Commando would be a hoot. I've got a '66 Sport Fury with 383 Super Commando. It's outstanding.

As a teen I had to clean a lot of baked on bugs off my dads 1965 fury squad car grill of the Il. State Police....not many of these cars left.

US cars used the LA 318 from 1967 while Canadian cars last used the 318 poly in the 1967 model year. After that all 318s were the LA version and they became available in the Dart/Valiant eventually replacing the LA 273.

I recognize the special order brake booster, back in the day every 6th car going down the line at Lynch Road was either a police car or taxi.

I owned a '65 Plymouth Sport Fury convertible in '67, 383/auto, white body, baby blue interior & top. Neighbor owned another just like it but with a red interior & top, 4-speed/383 hi-po which he later wrecked. Mine had a factory reverb sound system that was very cool. As I understand it the white/blue combinations were the pace car colors & apparently sound were sold as such. It was a chicken magnet in those days.

In 1968 my dad went to a dealership in Fl to get a 383 sport fury III commando v8, 'police highway-package', metallic blue, 2-door, black vinyl fast-back, 15" 500 Mag wheels, bench front-seat, 3-on-the-tree, with tow package and CB Radio, and they wouldn't sell it to him cuz they weren't sure about state regs selling a police fleet privately, went to Ga, they said "Why so you can bootleg? Chrysler wouldn't let them anyways", went all they way to Nv, and they said "what else you want?" cost him $15,824 in '68. Lost it to a divorce 2 years later, loved that car til the day he died more then any of his wife's, maybe why he had so many,...🤔

Thanks, interestingly the Police , Interceptor, FLEET Packages are getting more attention: we always heard rumour/ stories of INTERCEPTOR POLICE Packages (* esp FORD 1950’s vehicles, Etc)….that were powerful & built up good…….Actually some were….Oddly, I’m always interested in these and Military, Special Builds, low Runs, Regional “ MODELS”, etc.

My friend has a 66 Fury state police car.... TWO dr sedan. As nice as this... complete with bullet holes from a pursuit.😁😎

That upholstery and door panels are factory issued and not redone. I had a 1965 Fury Illinois state police cruiser way back in the 1970s equipped identical to this model. Beige in color too.

Hope your getting better Steve. Cheers 🇨🇦

Those brake calipers are a trick to repair. The pistons are different sizes, and ya gotta put 'em back in the same holes!

Legand has it, (from LAPD cop) the hottest cop car was the 68 belvedere 383. LAPD used full, metalic brake shoes, which were really effective, but warped the drums from the heat. When they went back to organic, the cops hit the guardrails in chases, because the brakes were inferior without the full metalic shoes. I had a 68 Satellite with the 4 piston set up, the discs were small, and I think they were also two piece, also prone to failure. I parted the car, so I never used them.

Full horn ring part of the police package .

My 65 Fury III had the 318 and room for lots of fun at the drive in theaters. . …

Nice "police package" but my observation was this car never got used in police duty because the back doors had interior release handles. More likely it was used as a detective car or other non pursuit duty. Might also have been used in the fire service. There's not too many other uses for a car with radio delete but still having the other goodies. Definitely bought as a fleet vehicle when new. BTW, most people don't know this but "fleet duty" cars usually had an extra firm seat cushion and heavy duty fabric too boot!

This was probably not a highway patrol car because it had the 383 2 barrel engine which actually was more than adequate for that car which was not especially heavy. Even that 2 barrel engine provided plenty of torque and millions of them powered all kinds of Chrysler cars and was the base engine in the Chrysler Newport.
