    Does anybody recognize this piece?

    1972 newport. Little part found on the ground next to drivers side rear wheel, under the car. Looks almost like a u-joint cap, but it isnt. Possible that it didnt come from the car, but i want to be safe.

    The Boat is Sinking...

    72 Newport made it home

    The Newport made it from Pennsylvania to Indiana just fine. It does have a few issues though. The steering is extremely touchy. Down the highway you barely move the wheel and you are in the other lane, what could cause overly easy steering?

    Do you think this car will make a 400 mile trip?

    I just bought a 1972 Newport. It has been stored in a garage for its whole life. There is no rust on the body, or underneath. No tears in the upholstery either. It was never driven during the winter, and has 71,000 miles. If this car has a new oil change, and new tires, do you think it could...
