    How Do I replace brake light switch? Dang clip...aaargh!!

    If it’s like my Fury, I ran one of the nuts down, pulled it out, unplugged it and reversed process on install. It has two nuts so you can set it properly. Switch is above pedal,so your master cylinder shouldn’t be involved, although I assume you are not talking about the brake warning light...

    67 Newport. What to look for?

    That other Newport is still available. Add to your fleet? Sorry you missed one with a console. I have been driving the Dart for a week now. Sometimes I can’t tell if it’s running when I am stopped-it’s that smooth. According to stuff in owner’s manual, it was sold by Allum Motors in Sharon, PA...

    67 Newport. What to look for?

    I bought the Dart. Plan on shopping for another C body I can work on at my leisure. The Dart will be a daily for me. Noticed a fuel leak and no fast idle when cold. Otherwise seems to be ok. The lady that had it painted it and had the carpet and seat covers replaced. Has some minor electrical...

    67 Newport. What to look for?

    Tan is $5500 Blue the same price. Owner of the blue port never responded to messages. Lady with the Dart says she drives it and has the brakes and tune up done 2x a year.

    67 Newport. What to look for?

    I did ok on the SF. Wasn’t expecting to even break even and I didn’t but it was a lot of fun and I learned a lot about C body cars I never knew (thanks mostly to you folks). A young guy bought it. He’s coming Saturday to pick up the windshield and other parts I have for it. Yes, it will be a...

    67 Newport. What to look for?

    Thanks guys. I messaged the owner and she doesn’t seem very interested in answering questions. I did see mold (mildew?) on the seats, otherwise not a bad looking Newport.

    67 Newport. What to look for?

    I sold my Sport Fury last night. I found a 67 Newport. Parked in a garage since 2006. Seller says immaculate and running well. Should I expect to see bad brakes, belts, etc? It’s two hours away and I would prefer to drive it home.

    I run OE copper and brass radiator. Gauge sits center and will run to high end of normal if I sit a long time, like road construction or something. Never has overheated. Owner’s manual says it can dump coolant in heavy traffic and to only fill 1 1/4” below bottom of neck as I recall. I did add...

    Wet brakes

    I am keeping my drums, as well. I am used to them and so I drive with how they work in mind. The rain we had was extremely heavy. Some creeks were out of their banks and I had to drive through them. First time I have had them get wet even though I drive in the rain.

    Wet brakes

    Factory manual brakes on my 68 Sport Fury. Hurricane remnants rolled through my area. I had to drive through some standing water and ended up with the passenger side wet. Hit brakes for a red light and almost ended up in the left lane. I parked it at a store and drove Ram 2500 to work. By the...

    76 Newport I found. What should I check?

    I found a 76 that I like. My wife doesn’t but she won’t be driving it. Red with red interior. 440. Any quirks with these I should look closely at?

    NOT MINE Not mine-72 Newport $2k

    Sans motor. I pulled the motor out of it and don’t really care much for the rest of the car. It’s a two door mopar C body, that’s actually in pretty decent shape. I figure I’ll advertise it for a bit and if it don’t sale it can go out in my field...
