That's one of the nicest Newport's that I've seen. Mark, not a vert but you might want to look at this one.

Yea, not a vert, but still a fine example of a Chrysler 2dr HT coupe, would LOVE to add her to my fleet,lol. Nice!! Asking price is not in the ballpark unfortunately.

 

[1978 NYB]

I wouldn't mind having this one.

Seems like literally they all are.
We must be living in a cocoon away from what apparantly is the real world.

One thing prices should be adjusted a bit with the rate of inflation in my opinion. Another thing I noticed if a couple start with that pricing it is sometimes established at one point.
There's a dealer over here who has two rather rare Alpina BMWs for sale for at least four years about 75-100 percent overpriced even to the price guides; being about the only ones that pop up on online ad research (most of them get sold among people who know each other) the most commonly used price guide has now the price up by a good 50 percent and they're still not sold. Not that I give a lot to these guides but a bit better than ballpark. And in the end the buyer decides.

Personally I pay over price to some extent if I can afford the premium and with a little discount if it is an absolutely outstanding example after inspecting it personally. There's nothing better than untouched and orginal and you never get another example fixed up at the same price.

Nicely shot pics for that Newport, in the daylight with personal inspection it will look a bit rougher I guess.

Just another owner who hears too much what old cars bring. Never mind that they are talking about Mustangs, Camaros, Chargers, Cudas, Road Runners, SS Chevelles, GTOs and other assorted muscle cars and then the truly rare, as built, specialty cars. Just watch in 10 years from now, when there are very few people interested in this generation of cars, their great grandfather drove. Then there will be us, in our 70's, with a few already and possibly lacking in endurance to do another car rescue. They won't be able to give these things away.

That is one beautiful unmolested car. Love the side profile. Yes after the craze dies down....and it will, eventually the "rice"'tuners will over come us --those who dig old american iron--in sheer numbers. I saw on the tv yesterday how teenagers (stateside) today are less and less interested in "wrenching" on old classic cars and more interested in tuning imports with software using IPads or laptop computers.

Yesterday while I was getting gas the pump jockey was admiring my car (get that alot.......anyways the conversation went like this:

PJ: Dude that's a cool car.
Me: Thanks
PJ: Is that a Galaxy (as in Ford)?
Me: No, it's a Chrysler Newport.
PJ: Oh yea, right.
PJ: How many liters?

....FIRST time anyone has ever asked me how many "LITRES" were under the hood.

Not a good sign.

Somehow completely different over here. There are already generations not related to 60s/70s domestic cars that are enjoying them, some engine/suspension tuning occasionally envolved but due to tax benefits for rather unmolested classic cars they stay pretty much original or the way they were tuned back in the old times.

See only prewar and very early 50s cars in decline except for the high price stuff.

It would be nice if they would disclose what work was done on the left rear quarter and why. The trunk lid and part of that QP appears to have been resprayed and the color does not exactly match the rest of the car, and the trim molding above the left taillight is apparently a casualty of whatever occurred.

Grandma erroneously tapped something while backing out of the garage on the way to Sunday morning church or coffee klatch most likely,lol.

excellent point, esp after they spent the time freshening it up, shellacing under the hood, looks like the trunk lip might be fresh as well. They prob paid abt 2K for it.

Sorry Bob, it has to really stand out if the top doesn't go down, and this doesn't....iit's a plain jane....maybe if it had a 440 and console.

I do not think the price is too outlandish for an orig fusey hardtop in that condition.

 

[1978 NYB]

I don't know if the paint doesn't match on the left rear QP or it's just bad lighting. The other picture showing the left side from front to back appears to have matching paint. I agree that there may be something going on wuth the trim above the left rear tailight.

 

[70NPORT]

It's missing.

 

[cm23uoc]

I'm pretty certain the left rq got some blending in the immediate area behind the door, which is a major flaw in that pricerange. Quite difficult to match these old single stage metallics and I've seen cars where simply by different aging of the repaint the differences in color appeared after some years.
