Where can I find these kind of Mopar Rally wheels. When I search all I can get to show up are the Challenger/Cuda versions. Do these have a specific name that is different?

Ha, my Newport has pickup wheel covers. But I like them anyway. I took one off and shot a pic of the numbers, they are indeed the ones supplied by Vaanth. Mystery solved! Many thanks.

I thought I had sent this message and even received a response, but can't find it. What is the lineage of the hubcap shown in the attached photo?

Am looking to replace the Interstate battery with a period correct looking one. Agree 27 looks WAY better than the 24 in the battery tray. Thanks for the inputs!

Thanks much for the info!

The sveral places I looked indicated a group 24 battery for my 65 Newport. Took the old one out, and the battery try certainly is long enough for a group 27. Was the 27 and option with an upgraded alternator or some such thing, and the tray has to be long enough for both?

I have both a 64 Belvedere and a 65 Newport. Getting some new keys made, bought the blanks off ebay. Didn't realize the two pics are not "quite" the same, either pentastar orientation, or the grooves are tiny bit different. Is one for 65 and one for 64? Is this just a PITA aftermarket...

I would agree. I have found a local shop that does restos and will be getting it repainted in the original Mist Blue in a couple of months. Thanks for all the help folks!

Continuation of some discussion on another thread, but this is paint specific. I have spent a bit of time going through posts (yes, also the paint sticky), and there is a lot of information, but not a lot of DO THIS, or DONT DO THIS, a lot of "it depends". So, my case.... My car is originally...

So you think my car should have a PCV valve instead of just a breather cap? Neither valve cover has the small PCV hole.....

Wow, thanks. That sticker is almost my car verbatim except for the air conditioning. Cool.

Thanks, but I am a tard. Can't find the way to delete old stuff.....

So, after decoding, the following questions: Under TRM R=9 which says special order or leather. Was leather an option in the Newport this year? Also, second row Q2 says "astrophonic delux am", what's this "astrophonic"? Is there any place that sells a replica MSRP if I give the VIN number?
