Just picked up this car, and have started the body work. Hope to have it on the road this summer.

Any more info on this car would be awsome. I can't get the link for the write up to work.

Congrats on the car! See you at Moparfest this year maybe?

Yes, 24k is the original mileage! This '68 Newport sat in a field for 35 years in Alberta before finding its way to Ontario. The 383 2 bbl big block sings and rumbles, the Torqueflite 3 speed leaks, but is strong and shifts through all 3 gears perfectly! The power steering is the definition of easy, 1 finger power steering even though it will also leave drips on the ground. The cooling system is brown but i have been running cleaner through it which is improving it, i have sat in traffic with it though with no problems! rad has almost no bent fins! The power drum brakes work fantastically! The gas tank was very dirty inside. I cleaned it, put it back and have been running double filters to finish off what i missed, just switched to a single filter as it is working. The interior was eaten by mice except the vinyl, the body and frame from the middle forward is perfect, rust free, amazing, i didn't know classic cars could be that good! from the middle back is however not quite as perfect. it has typical rust in the trunk corners, but barely any, and of course the dents on the sides. body guys have told me they'd have no problem fixing those, not sure if it was bragging or truth though, i'm not a body work expert. the chrome is damn near perfect. there are some electrical things which don't work, but some do, like the heating system, and the front and rear defrost. Paint is original and really shines up after some polishing! rims and tires are new as well! i have new carpet for it, lots of minor components in the trunk as well. Don't bother bringing a trailer you can drive it home, or i will deliver for asking price (within a reasonable distance and only after a deposit). asking price being a meagre $7,500 (obo i guess) not interested in trades, selling because i have 3 cars and 2 parking spaces
