Congratulations getting your 66 Newp on the road! We love ours and really enjoy the ride these have. In my opinion the 65-66 body style really works as a four door. These automobiles are coming into their own. You have a great looking car and now you can drive with your hat on! Have a great fall...
I never won with a C body, but at the 56th annual Das Awkscht Fescht in Macungie Pennsylvania our 1966 Chrysler Newport sedan was curiously honored...in a way. That year the show featured all Chrysler Products and each year the best of the best is placed in a tent. I had planned on taking my...
OP: I have several original dipsticks in the parts collection. I will be able to go through them over the Thanksgiving holiday if you can wait that long. To confirm you are looking for 383 engine and not for the 727 T correct? I have both (I think). All the best, Retroman.
Follow-up report: It was the starter relay. All points on the old one showed signs of corrosion. I just placed a new one on a few minutes ago and Mr. Blue fired right up. I am noticing that across the fleet the old original electronic components are giving up this past year. Had a coil crack on...
This just happened to me today on Mr. Blue our 66 Newport. I jumped the relay and it sparked but no turn over. Power to everything else. Did the original poster ever find the fault? Running the cables. Could it be the neutral safety switch? Parked for about a week on a slight down hill grade...
Gentlemen:
I wish to apologize for going MIA on this thread. Work took over and became all consuming but this weekend I have finally been able to get back to the garage and check out the two Sport Furies. The 1965 has the same 9 hole u track that Detmat was kind enough to post an image of on...

I wish to relate a recent experience that may help. I have a car from 1963..lets just say its not a MOPAR... that I was convinced had a bad valve. It had a real nice distinct tap on start up. As the car warmed and we were on the road it would soften out. I was all set to get under...
Gents: I think we are on the trail. Yes it looks like the long strip attached to the back of the seat in the image Clay Harrison provided. In another thread referenced below dated 19 Jul 2019, Evan Jansen called it a Boot Rail. The boot screws into this section that I am after to affix it to the...

A question for the collective wisdom found on this site...What is the nomenclature or popular name of the strip that attaches the leading edge of the boot cover to the back of the seat on a 66 Sportfury convertible? My 65 has a metal strip that attaches the boot cover to the back of...
Hey brother, welcome aboard. I have two sport furys a 65 and 66. I like the styling of the 66 the best. You got a great car….enjoy! All the best from the USA to you. Retroman.
