Looks like a great ride with the hp 383 and 4sp! Can't wait to borrow it 
Really Mark thats all the pics your giving us?
Here's a couple that I took on Sunday when we went to look at it. More to come when I pick it up on Friday.
Wow, that’s a nice find. My first car I bought in 68 was a 64 383 Sport Fury but with a Torqueflite. It was all black with no tint and blazingly hot in the summer but I didn’t car as that 383 gave it quite a kick. Fortunately I had a neighborhood friend whose brother was a mechanic and he schooled me in how to tune it and do the basic maintenance.
I would be curious to know if that car has a dual point distributor in it? Mine had one and it was always a topic of discussion as to if it was a stock item. Otherwise it was all stock except exhaust.
Again, nice find!

It's got an auminum distributor, which means single points, but I was told that it's been converted to Petronics. The car once had the additional bar that attached to the top of the bumper like yours & I've got to find one of those.
It's called a bumperette
That's kinda where I was going.
My 64 had the front bumper guard but lacked the rear ones. So, I’m not sure if they were separate options or maybe the tear bumper had been replaced. It had a little light damage to the trunk lid that they had to repair before I took delivery of the car.
That 383 can surprise a lot of cars, especially if it has 3.23 or lower gears. I had to pick my victims carefully on the street back then but standard engine Musclecars (SS396 Chevelles, 390 Fairlanes/Mustangs, GS400s, etc) had nothing over it. I just had to watch out for the optioned up cars with optional engines, 4-speeds, etc. Oh yeah, and particularly one jacked up, big tire, geared down, wicked sounding - built to the hilt, 1965 327 Chevelles SS that left me like I had shifted into reverse.

Sir, that's not a 68-70 B-body....

No it isn’t, but I’ve always had a soft spot for 64 Plymouths, and this one was only 45 minutes from me.

Real nice! 
383s are all I ever owned and are one tough engine. My first one being a '64 Polara 500.

You could try Joe Suchy for the front bumperette. He is a '64 Plymouth guy, and had lots of stuff. I am sure the rear bumperettes are being reproduced, and he could have them as well.
Pick up day has been moved up to Saturday.
Nice car Mark. That bar looks better than the little guards they used. Here is one used.

Thanks, I saw that yesterday. Looks like the rubber strip has a bunch of cracks in it.
I did see that but I have seen people repair the little cracks and paint the rubber guard until a nicer one shows up...
Carb should be a 3611S, if you care LOL
