Do you have any interest in a trade? I have a super rare 1962 Plymouth Sport Fury, two door hard-top, red with red and black interior and black carpet, torque-thrust D wheels, four-wheel disc brakes. The drive train was a 362-factory motor but has been replaced with a Max-Wedge cross ram four-barrel carbs setup on a 440 block 540 CI motor. It has a B&M automatic trans to handle the torque. Three-inch stainless-steel exhaust all the way back. I purchased this vehicle from a dealer who was selling off a Sacramento, California estate collection of cars. My wife liked this car very much. Sadly, she passed away this past June and this car is a little too much for me at my age of 74. The car appraised for $44,000. in 2015. I have complete appraisal book from the company who did the appraisal and which my insurance company accepted. Since owning I paid $2000. to the electrical system updated. It is a very nice car. If interested in it please let me know. Thanks!
