The Sport Fury S/23 was designed to combined luxury and performance in a
big car. Plymouth Fury S/23s powered by the 318 or 383
2-barrel V-8's were available with a 3 speed manual or an optional Torqueflite
automatic transmission. 383 Super Commando powered S/23 came
standard with a Torqueflite automatic transmission and dual exhaust. Underneath Plymouth
gave the S/23 a front anti-sway bar and Rallye Road Wheels and a standard 3.23:1 axel ratio a 2.76:1
ratio was also an option.
On the inside the
Sport Fury S/23 was offered with a cloth-and-vinyl or all vinyl bench
seat with fold down center armrest. Optional all-vinyl buckets could
be added for that added performance touch. If buckets were your
style, a console was also available. The Instrument panel was
floodlit and easy to read and reach.
On the outside the
Fury S/23 featured hidden headlamps, two power bulges on the hood.
Dual hood runner stripes in either white, black or burnt
orange. And reflective "Strobe Stripes" on the side and
rear deck lid. The S/23 designation appeared on the rear
deck lid. Only 689 Sport Fury S/23's were produced in
1970.
