Unlocking the Mysteries: Steve Magnante’s Insights into the Special 1966 Plymouth VIP


A closeup of the VIN tag from a 1966 Plymouth VIP

Originally appearing in the Plymouth lineup for the 1959 model year, the Fury model was a mainstay for the brand into the 1980s. The line underwent several identity crises throughout seven generations, including going from full-sized to midsized to full-sized again with the fourth generation (1965-1968).

The fourth-gen was available in several trims; Fury I, Fury II, Fury III, Sport Fury, and Plymouth VIP. Even though this VIP became positioned as the top version of the lineup, it never wore a Fury badge
