Why would he scrap a car for a leaking seal? The whole thing seems odd. It's way too nice a car to demo derby, but of course that doesn't stop the derby guys :eek:

"Very similar to a 55 Chevy but..." what an odd thing to say. I mean, it's "very similar" to every other '55 car at that rate. It'd be nice to see a car like this restored rather than stay in its "patina" era, a look that I see as just a lazy man's approach to restoration. "It's only original...

Anyone else tired of the term "survivor" being over-used? Any old car that is still around is obviously a "survivor" or it wouldn't still be here. People now use it regardless of car condition or even originality.

Damn, that's a graphic picture to paint! :rofl:

It's amazing how much dressier the car looks with just body coloured wheels and whitewalls! Such a big impact for such a small change. I certainly agree to keep it original, as that's my jam, but I can see why some may have been annoyed if they didn't order wheel covers and ended up with black...

That's a very pretty car, but the Tremclad-bombed trunk area is a bit of an eyebrow-raiser...

The light blue-on-light blue must have been stunning when new... the fact that this guy wanted to do it Plum Crazy shows that his head isn't in the right place for a car like this; he needs a beater Duster that he can fix-up and use to re-live his teenage glory days, not one of the most...

LOL got that right. When I was a kid I was all into customization; I loved mags, white letters, etc. But now that so few classic cars still sport their factory look, it's like THAT is the new custom: what people used to do to make their cars look unique now makes them look like everyone else's...

The blue is a nice colour, but the original green/green/green would have been awesome (at least in my opinion). The ridiculous mags ruin the look of the car yet again...

And I'll say it again: blackwalls on a car like this, with full (and dressy) wheel covers, are so cringe. There's a reason whitewalls help with visuals: they make the wheels look bigger by breaking-up the monotony of black that high-profile tires create. I get that, in Canada, our options for...

Probably, but I'm not interested; I got my C-body for much less and I like it much more :)

Looks like the same car, yeah; man, look how much better it looked with whitewalls! A crime he changed-out the tires, and spent no effort in sourcing whites...

I haven't seen this one posted, but it's been for sale for a while! It started at $20k, as I recall... Looks like a nice car, and it'd be even better with its trim put back on and some whitewalls :thumbsup: 1972 Chrysler Newport : London | Classic Cars | London | Kijiji Classifieds Text...

Thanks for the decode! Yes, that is "C C26". It was sold new in Nova Scotia, so I have no doubt that it was a Canadian-order car.

In that kind of shape, it should be kept as a well-preserved, fair-weather car only!

Welcome from SW Ontario!

I think he means a flipper bought it, and we'll see it up for-sale again soon at a higher price.

Ah, okay, thanks. Can you provide a code break-down? Or tell me where to find a list of codes?

Here is my rad support tag. I'd appreciate a decode of what it all means! I see people referring to the rad tag codes a lot on this forum but I don't know them :). I notice the stamped "2" in the upper right-hand corner; does this mean it's the second tag, and there's another one underneath or...

Yup, and I'm hoping to never have to wash it again, either: I give it a dusting before/after every drive and do a soft cloth/diluted car wash hand wipe-down before waxing (once per year is enough). Then, of course, bug hit, tar, sap, etc. removal as-necessary. I've used this technique...
