Do the painted upper door frames mean there is no chrome around the frames? I noticed there is one 69 Newport Custom Sedan on YouTube that has the frames painted but also has the chrome trim around the inside edge next to the side glass. I would assume all door frames are painted body color.

Great information. You all are awesome ! I will have to look for a broadcast sheet when I get it home in a couple months. It's paid for, i just need to wait for winter to pass. The main reason & bought it was for the dash pad, cluster, non A/C defrost ductwork, window regulator parts and guides...

So yeah I guess the D32 Torqueflite was an option. The R13 Deluxe AM jammer. That's all I see on the fender tag. The Power Steering may be standard because of something else. I thought the wing window was an option, but maybe that's only on 2 door models. I'm pretty sure the interior code is...

I bought a stripper 69 Newport for parts. Pretty bleak fender tag. The only option i see on it is deluxe AM Radio.

The Newport interior would look good white for sure, but it's blue in kind of a boring pattern. I have the whole interior out at the moment fixing and finding things. One thing I need is a dash pad. I may have to have Just Dashes redo it. ??? It looks like a tough one to repair with all the...

Those are the tires and wheels I took with me to drive the car home. It had been sitting for about 25 years. I had to fix a few things to make the almost 500 mile trip, and a few things on the way home. Getting an old car home is always a memorable adventure. Some of the options on the 71 are...

The owner gave me a photo of the car in the very early life of the car when his uncle purchased it new.

Two more freeway rumblers I've added to my stable recently. The 69 Newport is a fun cruiser and sure gets a lot of attention. It's surprising how many young people give the thumbs up. The 71 New Yorker in the Tahitian Walnut is going to be a neat car. It's a Southern California rust free car. I...

That does completely suck, but be glad it didn't hit that beautiful straight quarter panel.

Very cool ! What's up with the trim around the rear window ? Did it come from the factory painted Burgundy also ?

Thanks. I guess a person could just buy a new board, but I enjoy rebuilding these mechanical wonders where I can.

It's nice to find a group of people that appreciate the BIG Chryslers. I have felt nearly alone since I discovered them while in high school in the mid 80s. Everyone was into Ford's and Chevy's. Now it's quite refreshing to see the value of the old Mopar's blow people's minds. Especially the...

A great fix for those factory male terminals that are just crimped in the opposite side of the board. I used solid copper wire of same thickness and just soldered them in place. (After cleaning and fluxing the areas to be soldered). On the back side of the board I left them sticking out about...

Thanks, I have a disease, the same as all of you. If I could only stick with one project. The 60 DeSoto is one of only 93 made, and its the only one in that color. Only a handful are known. I also have a 57 Adventurer. I have always liked the DeSoto's because of the stainless they poured on...

I was going to just freshen up the 440 but it needed too much and I've always wanted to do a Stroker so what the heck. Went with the 440Source complete engine kit with CNC ported heads etc. She's a big girl, but some big girls can move pretty good. Those are the plastic clips that I cannot find.

Passenger side moldings have been damaged. I pulled them all off to start the redo. I can't seem to locate the plastic clips that hold the moldings on. The roof is not rusted. There is some rust in the quarters. I need to find a good donor car. SMS auto interiors sent exact samples of seat...

Had to rescue it from the friend of the guy I sold it to. He's had it sitting on greenage. A no no. The interior I always thought was a weird color. But now that I look at it it's a really close match to the blue/green tint the windows have.

BIG RED in 1991ish. Pretty much original paint, interior and top.

Hi all ! I recently bought back the 71 red/white 71 New Yorker Coupe that I owned as a teenager in the late 80's and I'm getting her back on the road. Wished I had never sold her because she was a cherry back then. I am building a 512 stroked 440 for her to surprise the rice rockets out there...
