'65 Newport 2dr 383 4bbl - $1200 - east of Austin TX

Not mine. Overall it looks surprisingly ok for something sitting around outside long term. If anyone wants me to take a look I might be able to do it.

Good looking coupe, I think it needs to live.

Seems like a good price even if it turns out to be a turd.

Thanks

Too bad it's a '65. PITA.

 

[RTSrunner]

That's a 1966,I have one. Stan I'm guessing a '65 is a PITA due to parts availability and the cable trans,what else?
My '65 Coronet gives me some trouble on parts availability!

The one year only engine mount is another.
Member Marion here can give you a whole list of one-year oddities.

Actually it's a four year only engine mount, big block A bodies use the same mount.

 

[commando1]

BB A-bodies. Tons of those around.

It is an expensive left side engine mount. Then the cable shifted trans that has a one year only column mount to operate the cables rather than the push button. Cables are expensive. Of course depending on model various trim is one year only, but you can find examples of that in nearly every year. Not sure, but maybe fuel tank also....or those years are harder to find. Been awhile since I looked on that. But when I pulled that 440 out of that 68, I didn't notice the bosses for the 65 mount cast in it. Gonna have to go look again.

For those who were interested in this one, I tried to get out there yesterday but we had a winterpocalypse (i.e. 1/8 inch sleet and snow) that paralyzed all of central Texas and shut down many roads. Seriously. I have to work in the Rio Grande Valley for a week or so and will not be able to take a look at it soon. Sorry. If anyone has any prospects in the McAllen area, let me know and I'll take a look there!
