Auto World Unveils 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury GT Exclusive
Black Velvet Beast in 1:64 Scale

Auto World is about to make waves in the diecast world with the very first release of its all-new 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury GT casting. This model isn’t just another 1:64—it’s a tribute to one of Plymouth’s most underrated muscle machines, presented in a collector-grade package that fans won’t want to miss.

The highlight of this exclusive run is the ultra-rare 440+6 edition, a true monster from 1970. In the real world, only 666 of these Sport Fury GTs were built, making them one of the rarest Mopars of the muscle car era. Under the hood sat a 7.2-liter (440-cubic inch) Big-Block V8 topped with three two-barrel carburetors, pumping out a stout 390 horsepower and 490 lb-ft of torque. Back then, it was Chrysler’s answer to the full-size muscle craze—mixing big car comfort with straight-line fury.
Auto World has captured that spirit in miniature form with its True 1:64™ tooling. This new casting comes dressed in a deep Black Velvet finish, equipped with rubber tires, an opening hood, and crisp details that nail the fuselage styling Plymouth introduced in 1970. Every curve, line, and trim piece is crafted to remind collectors why the Sport Fury GT deserves a place next to the Road Runners, Chargers, and Cudas of the same era.
But this release isn’t just about looks—it’s also about the thrill of the hunt. Only 3,504 pieces are being made, and each order carries a chance to score a special UltraRed® Chase version. Taking things to the next level, Auto World has included an even rarer prize: the UltraRaw® Chase, limited to only 10 pieces worldwide. That’s about as close to diecast lottery-winning odds as it gets.
Collectors know the rule: the more you buy, the better the chances. But nothing is guaranteed—these chase cars are randomly inserted and could show up in any order. It’s part of what makes Auto World’s exclusives so fun to chase, and this time, the stakes are higher than ever.
Beyond the collectible buzz, the 1970 Sport Fury GT also brings a bit of history back into the spotlight. When new, Plymouth offered the Sport Fury GT alongside models like the S/23, while the VIP model was dropped. Buyers could even add a Brougham package for a touch of luxury in their muscle sedan. But the GT stood out, particularly when optioned with the mighty 440+6. Today, survivors of these big-bodied brutes are few and far between, making this diecast replica a must-have for Mopar fans who may never get the chance to park the real thing in their garage.

Auto World has built a reputation for delivering detail, accuracy, and authenticity—and this release proves they’re serious about giving collectors something fresh. With its combination of rarity, performance heritage, and chase-car excitement, the 1970 Plymouth Sport Fury GT (Black Velvet) is shaping up to be one of the standout diecast releases of 2025.
If you’re ready to roll the dice and maybe land one of the most elusive chase cars in the hobby, you can pre-order now exclusively at autoworldstore.com.
