Yet that is exactly what happened here on Bob's Classic Cars & Parts YouTube channel with this 1966 Plymouth Fury VIP.This car, with just over 82,000 miles on the clock, was found hidden away in a dirty, dusty barn. But while it certainly needs work to get back on the road, the barn has done its job and ensured that this car has emerged from hiding in as good condition as possible.While it was produced in good numbers at the time, the Fury VIP has not fared well on the classic car scene. They are quite a rare sight at shows and events, and the vast majority seem to be hiding away in junkyards, with many of these too far gone to be rescued.AdvertisementAdvertisementThat is not the case with this car, however. This is a remarkable, unrestored survivor, described as a time capsule, that has somehow lucked out compared to all its siblings and escaped its many years in storage rust-free. That is reason alone to make a video on this car.Why have Plymouth Fury VIPs not fared well?The Fury itself was initially a full-size car before Plymouth turned it into a mid-size model in 1962. Three years later, it was again a full-size car, with the fourth-generation Fury of 1965 to 1968 introducing the VIP to the segment. This was promoted as a more upscale version of the Fury, hence the VIP name, and it made its debut in the 1966 model year.Plymouth designed the Fury VIP as a rival to the AMC Ambassador DPOL, the Ford LTD, and the Chevrolet Caprice. Under the skin, it was an upgraded Fury III, with extra features such as more woodgrain, fender skirts, special badges, and plush upholstery helping set it apart from the regular version. But it was only in production for three years, with Plymouth dropping the VIP in 1969, making them quite rare compared to the regular version.While they sold 92,000 units across four years, the Fury VIP has not fared too well on the classic car scene. Rust is quite a problem with them, so many of those that do exist are simply beyond saving or restoration. This one, however, somehow survived and was shut away in a barn for decades, keeping it away from the worst of the weather and any chance of rust buildup.This Plymouth Fury VIP Is in Incredible ConditionImage Credit: Bobs Classic Cars & Parts/YouTubeUnfortunately, the video doesn't give us the best rundown of the Fury's history. What we do know, however, is that since 1966, this particular car has done just 82,000 miles. Under the hood, the Fury still has its original 318ci 5.2-liter Poly V8 engine, the standard powertrain at the time of this car's construction. Other higher-performance options were available, but the buyer at the time never opted for one of those.AdvertisementAdvertisementThe video gives us a closer look at the overall condition of the car. The vinyl top is in remarkably good condition, as is the interior, and it looks like it will only need a refresh rather than a full restoration. The car still has its original pale-yellow paint as well, and it appears to have escaped any rust damage. A remarkable feat. This would need some work to get on the road again, but this one really has defied the odds to survive in such great condition.If you want more stories like this, follow Guessing Headlights on Yahoo so you don't miss what's coming next.
