    Newport Stripper

    The Newport Custom was a step up in the food chain from the base Newport model and yes the Custom got the bling around the door frames.

    Newport Stripper

    3 times because of body paint, upper door paint and roof. Sedans got wing vents regardless. 2 dr hardtops with AC they were deleted. Not sure if AC cars you could order them. 69 fender tags introduced a newer format vs 68 and older tags. In general, they were sparse as the majority of info...

    New garage for the C's..

    The asphalt driveway was over 50 years old and got destroyed by trucks and other heavy equipment during contruction. We knew going into this that it would not hold up. We were very happy with our contractor and we hired them again to do our driveway in concrete. They installed a drain in front...

    New Member, New Polara

    If my memory serves me correctly, only RV units and Hemi's got 4 planetary gears. Not uncommon trans shops upgrade a 727 with the 4 gear planetaries

    Did the 69 Polara ever come with 14" wheels?

    No they will not stick out. They both have the same offset but tge wider whel has more backspacing. Basically the wider rim goes inward more without hitting anything.

    P225/75R14 Tires

    As a 68 Newport owner, ditch the 14's and go 15's 23570R15 or 22575R15 will make you happy. Magnum 500's also look snazzy on these slabs..
