1974 Newport sedan. $2,995. 400 auto. Pretty nice, judging from the pics. Paint is kinda flat and the vinyl roof might have issues on the C-pillars, but it has a nice body and interior. 479-243-0734 Mena, AR.

I'm looking at this one. Might do some horse-trading, who knows?

Kinda grabs me too.
I keep thinking Forestry Officer.

Actually, my son is very interested in it!

Now that is an Awesome thing.

I like that this car has NO power windows, locks or seats. Just less crap to go south on ya. Plus, IIRC, the '74 was the first year of the larger Mopar radios, which means a much broader choice of sound systems that actually fit in the factory location.

I popped a like new factory 1980 AM/FM/CD w/equalizer in there as an exact fit replacement. Looks 100% dead-on correct. Plus, guys out there are selling that exact one modified with an input plug on the front panel.

Yeah, we're chatting with the guy about it.

That car would have been a stunner new. Good luck with it Patrick.

What's funny is that I really don't mind green too much, but my son loves the green on this car! He has a 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis for sale, if any of you guys need a 38K mile four-door driver!

A set of 15" Road Wheels on this, tint the windows a bit, put dual exhaust under it, and likely replace the vinyl top...it would be a killer driver for my 20-year-old!

This is what I did with the 1.5 DIN in my NY'er.

Stan loves the 240,000 colors.....

How many colors are you up to now, Bob... ?

240,000 and counting.

All 240k??? Time for a new radio

I've got three perfectly good and functioning Chrysler factory units in my shop ('76 AM/FM/8-track, '96 AM/FM.cass, and '01 AM/FM/CD)...I do not like modern aftermarket stereos at all. They have 239,997 too many colors involved.

I just use the MP3 port to plug in my IPOD. If I could turn the lights (colors) off on it I would.
