Anyone?

How do you know this vehicle is a pace car?

I can tell you that 269 Sport Fury ragtops were built in 1966 with the 383-4/4-speed combo, per Galen's book, and I see no reason to not think the 1965 version has similar numbers.

Cool thanks. I figured they were rare still would like to know what the figure is for 1965 if anybody has it

I don't think it's been published, but that doesn't mean someone doesn't have it.

But, again, what documentation is there that suggests this vehicle may be a pace car?

I was told it was by the owner but I just came from seeing it and it does not have the plaque on the dash and although it has the correct blue interior, it appears to have originally been dark blue exterior. It is definitely the original 383 4bbl and 4-speed. With console and tach. Currently 3rd owner with ties to the 1st owner who special ordered the car before shipping off to Viet Nam and didn't return home. At any rate, probably not a pace car edition, but i's a convertible '65 Sport Fury 383 4bbl, 4-speed. Figuring it's pretty rare, just would like to know before I decide to buy it.

I'd think a comparable color combo'd Sport Fury 383 4 speed convertible would be more desirable (and worth more) than a 65 Sport Fury pace car convertible automatic.

Thoughts from others on this?

I don't know if this helps or not

If you want a '65 Fury, be sure to get one in pristine condition.

Almost all of the trim is aluminum and it's always beat up.

The Sport Furys have that engine turning detail on the trim, also.

Not a cheap or easy car to restore.

Very few restoration parts exist, and the cars seem very prone to rusting.

I've got a rough pace car convertible that I've tried to sell cheap several times.

Not one person has come to look at it.

I'll probably wind up pulling the 383/727 and a few other parts and junking

the rest.

Best bet is to try over on C Body Dry Dock website . . .they are the "big" car nuts . . .

Cheers,

I like them knew a guy/kid back around 90 had a clean one for sale,bunch of us went to mopars @ Englishtown & he wore a for sale add/sign around his neck & some one bought it,I think it sold for around $800.

Did you junk this car? I'm looking for some parts from it.
