Plymouth Fury GT

Despite being an economy brand for the Chrysler Corporation, Plymouth had a surprisingly large number of muscle cars during the ’60s and ’70s. Their luxury muscle car was the GTX. But in 1970, the Fury GT debuted as their biggest model on offer. The Fury GT was a two-door coupe version of the Fury sedan. In GT guise, it was a full-size muscle car with a perfect combination of looks and power (via Hemmings).

Under the hood was the well-known 440 V8 with a three-carburetor setup and 375 hp. Buyers could choose between the 727 Torqueflite automatic and four-speed manual. If they wanted any actual performance, they would clearly choose the manual. However, despite the power and looks, the Fury GT was a small performer since it was still heavy. In combination with a relatively high price tag, it proved to be a slow seller. So after just one year in production, Plymouth discontinued the GT model.
