My 1973 Newport has a small issue. I’m planning on getting the AC back online but it seems that my temperature adjustment cable isn’t connected to my lever inside the car. I’m not sure if it’s broken or not. There is no drag on the lever which tells me it’s not connected somehow. Is there a...

When I drove Loretta (1973 Newport w/Navajo package) to DC and back a few weeks ago. I couldn’t set the cruise at any speed above 70. Is this something they did back in the days or is something wrong with the system?

Or more aptly, is it a stupid idea? I’m considering taking my 73 Newport from Lancaster Ohio to Washington DC to pick up my bud from college and drive back.

Got new wheels installed. I enjoyed the original hubcaps but I prefer open faced wheels because I do put about 100 miles a day on the car commuting on nice days and sometimes that involves a lot of braking. With the closed design of the steel wheel and hubcaps, the brakes becomes soft from heat...

I need to replace my radiator. I’ve been looking. The radiator I have has the inlet and outlet on the passenger side. All the radiators I’ve been searching has either one on opposite sides. Is this radiator a weird one? I was planning on getting a radiator with a passenger outlet and a driver...

My 1973 Newport has the stock 15” steel wheels with the factory hubcaps. I wanted to have some fun this spring by painting the steel wheels the same color as the body and stick some dog disges on them. My question is: is there a specific wheel or dog dishes will work on any steel wheels?

So Loretta, my 73 Newport, is stored for the winter and of course that got me to thinking, it may be a good time to start getting stuff. we all know these cars aren’t going to be 1/4 mile kings but I was wondering if any of you have done basic bolt ons to increase the power. I am planning on...

Happy thanksgiving everyone, I had a couple questions: 1. my uncle who has had a quite a handful of Mopar cars (GTX, Valiant, Barracuda, Omni GLH etc) has swore up and down that if I attempt to do a burnout in the Newport, I’ll rip the motor mounts out. Valid or not? (Mopar cruise next year...

Had fun at my school. Kids got a kick out of it I bet you will too

I wanted to get a personalized plate for my first old car. what do you think?

This is my first carburetor car and I have been struggling with cold starts (45-55*). I can get it started then it dies about twenty seconds later then I can’t get it started because it’s flooded and or it cranks then whirs. I’ll be taking it on a 1000 mile road trip in October to admire the...

I got a 73 Newport. I’m curious what you guys do for cup holders because I sure like having a place to put my drink. The current situation is putting a cold drink between the legs isn’t working out namely because I can’t feel anything anymore and I end up looking like I pissed myself.

So I’m really enjoying my 1973 Newport with the 400 big block. Two questions, I’ve searched but didn’t find any. What spark plug is suggested and does the electronic distributor need its cap replaced or is it good for a long time? (My first distributor car) What is the expected MPGs out of...
