I am the second owner of this beautiful 1966 Chrysler Newport convertible. I've had the car for almost four years and purchased it to take our moms on drives. It is my daily driver for most of the year except winter. I have lots of trophies from the car shows. It gets LOTS of attention. RUNS GREAT!
$27,000
Chrome bumpers
Power steering
383ci Four barrel
Power brakes
TorqueFlite Auto Transmission
Factory radio
Black vinyl/leather interior
I have an appraisal from 2021 for $31,000
I had her ceramic coated about 18 months. I got the 9-year application.
Work done on 5-2022:
Installed Pitman arms
Strut rod bushings
Bump stops
Front end alignment
Here is what I've done to her over the last 6-10 months:
1. Engine rebuild (correct color, hoses, and wires)
2. Electronic ignition
3. New coil
4. New alternator
5. New voltage regulator
6. All hoses and belts replaced at engine rebuild
7. New engine mounts
8. New transmission mount
9. New oil pump
10. New distributor gear
11. Re-cored radiator
12. New water pump
13. New brake booster
14. New battery
15. Carburetor rebuild
16. Transmission filter and flush
17. New torque converter
18. New tires
19. New U joints
20. Replaced right rear window regulator
21. New oil pressure transmitter
22. Installed mech gages (water, volts, oil pressure)
23. New coil-over shocks (rear)
24. New style power steering bracket
25. New power steering pressure hose
26. New speedometer cable
27. New weatherstripping (windows and top)
28. Front wheel cylinders
29. Rear wheel cylinders
30. New brake shoes
31. New rear axle bearings
32. New front wheel bearings
33. New fuel tank
34. New fuel sending unit
35. Flush and refilled rear axle fluid
What it needs:
1. While the convertible top itself is in great condition, a small corner of the plastic window is starting to separate from the canvas. It can be repaired or replaced.
2. There is a short somewhere, but I haven't looked for it. It does not affect the vehicle's functionality. I have a kill switch installed.
I have LOTS of photos from car shows and of the work I've done to her, including the engine rebuild. Hit me up with questions.
