Auto World Rolls Out 1970–1971 Plymouth Fury In TRUE 1:64 Scale

New Tooling Brings Full-Size '70s Mopar Flavor To The Palm Of Your Hand

Auto World has been on a serious roll lately, and their latest 1:64 scale release proves they’re listening to Mopar fans loud and clear. Making its debut this fall is a brand-new tooling of the 1970–1971 Plymouth Sport Fury, a land yacht that now proudly joins the Auto World TRUE 1:64 lineup with serious detail and big-body attitude.

If you know your Mopars, then you already know the Sport Fury was one of Plymouth’s largest and most luxurious offerings of the early ’70s. With long lines, wide stances, and a fuselage-inspired design, the Fury was pure American excess on four wheels. Thanks to Auto World, that same vibe is now miniaturized—with incredible accuracy.

This release covers a range of models from both years, including:

  • 1970 Sport Fury GT

  • 1970 Sport Fury S-23

  • Standard Sport Fury

  • Fury III

Auto World really did their homework here. The 2-door hardtop body style is rendered with precision, and the tooling includes two distinct hood designs, including the aggressive twin-bulge hood exclusive to the 1970 model year. Up front, there are four different grille and headlight treatments, ranging from the hideaway headlamps on upscale trims to the exposed grille design of the Fury III. Year-correct bumpers and taillights finish off the package for both 1970 and 1971 editions.

This isn’t just another rebranded C-body casting. It’s all-new tooling, and it’s going to be launched as an Auto World Store Exclusive under 2025 Release 2 (#AW64512).

For reference, 1970 was the first year the Fury lineup fully embraced Chrysler’s “Fuselage Look” styling—a design language that gave the cars a rounder, aircraft-inspired profile. That year also saw the introduction of the Sport Fury GT and the short-lived S/23 model, a more budget-conscious sporty trim. The S/23 was gone by 1971, but the model year introduced a few cool new options like a sunroof and a cassette recorder with a built-in mic. Yes, you could record your own radio shows in your Mopar.

Engine-wise, the 5.9-liter (360 cubic-inch) LA V8 made its debut in 1971—a stout small-block that became a workhorse for Chrysler in the years that followed.

With its wide footprint, detailed badging, and year-specific trim, Auto World’s Fury lineup is easily one of the most exciting diecast announcements of the year. Whether you’re a Mopar nut, a full-size C-body collector, or just love big American cars, this is one that deserves a spot in your display case.

Look for them this September—just make sure you’ve got shelf space. These boats take up some room.
