I'm a follower of the 4-speed Cs. For probably 15 years I've watched Ebay fairly closely and then save listings on them afterward, I have a nice little repository of what I've come across. IIRC I've seen this before, but only once, and was a while ago. 3 4-speed Cs on ebay at the same time. (kinda makes me want to do a quickie listing on mine just to try and make it 4 and maybe set a record) Anyway...
And the big boy - 68 F3 2dr hardtop, 440, bench seat. This one is also in NC. Mentions rust issues, what it does show in the pics is a little scary as I'm sure it's worse than it looks, esp the firewall and dutchman. Has a Hurst shifter, so that's not original, and I believe it should have a dual-snorkel aircleaner, not the unsilenced one it has. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Plymouth-Fury-Sport-/331639291525?forcerrptr=true&hash=item4d373dfe85&item=331639291525
FWIW, I've seen a handful of F3 4-speed cars, but all have been 383s. Never a 440. I would bet that one is one of 25, or 50 at most.

I'm partial to the formal roof model, go figure. Price is a little optimistic with the rust repair that needs done. Hurst shifters started appearing midway through the 68 model year although they had the wood grain ball knob not the "T" handle. My buddy has a 65 Sport Fury with a 4 speed & it is a blast to drive.

Yeah, I like the std hardtop roof better too. I always thought the Fasttop was cooler when I was younger, but now that I'm older it looks bulky to me and ruins the balance of the car's profile.
The 66 auction is still running.
The blue 68 finished with nobody taking the $6000 BIN, and has been relisted at $7000 BIN. Not sure how that's supposed to be any better???
