BangShift reader Jerry Clarke sent us an email with a Craigslist link to the 1964 Sport Fury “Camino” shown below. According to the guy selling the car/truck, Chrysler had four of these things made for professional racing teams in 1964 presumably as support/tow vehicles. We have never seen one before and we have never heard of any production of these cars so we’re going to rely on the power of the Mopar internet intelligencia to set us straight or tell us that the seller may have inhaled too many paint fumes over the course of his life.

For starters the thing does look professionally built, even though it currently sits in tatters. We have searched high and low for old photos of one of these on the internet with no avail and the photos provided with the ad don’t really get into a lot of detail. The rear window looks pretty wild and it does appear to be a factory 1964 Sport Fury window when compared to a normal car. With a 383 and a four speed the little trucklet must have moved out pretty good when new. Now, the whole thing will need to be gone through.

Here’s what the seller says in his CL ad. What do you think? Real or wives tale?

This car was purchased by a Plymouth company and converted into an El Camino / Ranchero type car. There were 4 made and were then given as tow cars to the professional racers sponsored by Plymouth. This is the only one known to still be existing. The engine is a big block and is still in the car, although it is not in any condition to be ran. The brakes in the rear are locked as well. This car will need a complete restoration but it is one piece of history that needs to be saved. I do not have the funds to do it or I would.
