Does someone have a template for the trunk mat for a 1966 Newport two door hardtop? I have to make the cutout for the spare tire holder. It is up under the package shelf. Location and diameter of the hole.
Thanks
The original owner of my 66 Newport intended to buy a Fury, but was persuaded to buy a Chrysler instead. The base price for the Newport was $3112. What was the base price for the Fury III 2 door with 383 2 BBL as the only option?
Here is the final installment of the base Chrysler.
This is the "window sticker" for this car. Not many options.

Included is the illuminated ignition switch. It comes on with the parking lights.
C pillar mounted interior lights. There are no other lights inside; nothing under the dash or ceiling. It is pretty dark in there.
There is...
Further to my earlier post;

Carpet is included.
No radio or clock either. Thankfully the heater is...

Here is my car. I am the second owner. It was in a barn for 25 years near Gaza Iowa.
So...
For those with a 1966 Chrysler an American model; if you have the original Jack, how did you stow it in the trunk? My bumper bracket has the bolt through it. It is not held in place with the spring.
I tried installing the Top Cat whiskers in my 66 Newport, but it is not going well. The clips are not grabbing. The slot areas are flat. The original whiskers clips were grabbing really well.
Any tips?
Has any one experienced replacing the window run channels? I am looking to renew the ones in the front doors of my 2 dr Newport. What do I purchase and from who?

The part numbers for the single exhaust system on the NY are different than the Newport. Did the NY get a larger diameter exhaust? The part number for the rear hangar is different between them. I am wondering what the difference in the hangar is.
