1968 Newport 4-door HT Seattle - Unique Interior

[Greg B.]

I wouldn't normally post this except the interior pic below intrigues me:

This looks for all the world like a factory interior based on the pattern:



Could this be a spring special job? I have never seen one like this but it looks and sounds original. Cool.

That's really cool and I love the color and interior and that looks like an 8 track tape sticking out of the dash

 

[detmatt]

Really nice car, love the color combo and that interior is sharp!

That car and interior looks good.

 

[polara71]

That is impressive, someone cared about that car

 

[Big_John]

So... has anyone figured out if that is stock colors on that seat? I really like it!

My guess is not factory colors. Does look good but not original.

It was made availible on 68's......Nice looking interior

Well I stand corrected. Thanks Will.

Well, there you go! That's what I was wondering about. Thanks!

How cool is that car!!! Chrysler really knocked it out of the park with styling and luxury!!!

Too bad it took me until I was an old man to appreciate these cars!

That interior is a knock out. Never saw that combo and i would have bet against it being factory.
Especially since it wasn't monotone green....

From the seller:

"Im looking for at least 7000 in trade value. The car has no rust and is almost show room condition. It books at 11000 hi and 7000 low. Was offered 5000 cash but looking for motorhome or something of equal value."

it wont sell

My guess is not factory colors. Does look good but not original.

I agree...the white is too white and the turquise is too dark for almost a 50 year old interior, plus no obvoius imperfections from people sitting on the seats. Still looks nice, I suspect he is looking for $5-8K.

 

[theos911]

I suspect he's looking for $7000 in trade value and won't take $5000.

 

[1978 NYB]

He might be owning it longer than he thinks.

I have the same color combo in my 68 Newport. The previous owner said they called it the Florida Edition. Strange as mine rolled off the line with no A/C.

 

[commando1]

That is oh so wrong then....

 

[bluefury361]

it's refered to as the "success sale edition" in the ad.... No mention of a Florida special.
The color is called Sea foam turquoise and there were four other colors avaliable with the white.
Maybe a spring realise....?
