Yes I've known about this car for awhile, but had no interest. I saw the seats, well that sold me, I had to buy it.

I recently purchased this 76 Newport. Nice clean original paint car. I'm surprised when I find these c body chryslers in this condition, as it is almost impossible to find an b,c or even a⁹n a body car in this condition without spending huge money. I also recently bought a 73 Newport, again a...

I call it brown as I always think gold is a light color. I agree the tag does look lighter. I'm sure the paint is original (I'm a body paint guy 40 years) I can't find any tell tale signs of overspray anywhere. It's a good survivor especially here in Ontario. Seems like sombody put on some 20"...

I go my 76 Newport home yesterday. I was able to do a little checking it out. This is the second Newport I've purchased in the last six months. From what I can tell this is a orginal paint car, the floors and body are solid. The vinyl roof is lifting but no rust under it. The Interior has the...

I've known about this car for over a year, but had zero interest. It turned out I started looking at a little closer at it and it started to grow on me. It makes number four for the c bodys I own. I have a 62 Saratoga 4 dr sedan, 64 Newyorker 4dr Ht, 73 Newport custom 4 dr Ht and now this. They...

I also noticed that the lower door panel color matchs the spokes on the steering wheel.

if you look at the picture, you can see the rear door panels also look tu tone. I'm not 100% sure but I think the car is a low mile car. It has org paint and is in excellent condition other than the vinyl roof is starting to lift at the lower rear edges. The int is in excellent condition. The...
