For Sale 1975 Newport Brougham

[moparnutcase]

Saw this car Friday at the AC car auction. On the poster board with pics of other cars for sale the price was $9995. I did see it in an auto classified flyer for $7500. I believe it was going up for auction. Don't know if it sold or not as I have not checked the auction website. If anyone is interested the selling dealer info is in a pic. Just be wary, the dealer is kind of a dick/ripoff character. Do not know if car is his outright or if it is a consignment. Car was not perfect but looked pretty darn nice. Has a 440. I think if everything is on the up and up $5000 would probably be a decent deal. I think it has 80,000 or 83,000 miles on it.

A 440 is super rare in a Newport...

I stayed away... I hate this event but sometimes get drawn in by the Summertime Blues .... I am glad I saved the fifty bucks and didnt go

 

[moparnutcase]

Ok, well I have to admit, I was premature. Just checked the website and it sold on Friday for $7000 at auction.

F### it. I'm never going to figure this market out. I quit.

Good to see.... The values NEED to start going up... Nice nice car

That's because it's a 75 New Yorker St Regis. Note the lower body Chrome and Brougham on the dash and C pillars...a Newport wouldn't have that.

Is the emblem on the gas cap door a separate piece or all one unit.

I need one for my 78 Newport...

Separate. It bolts to a flange on one of the bezels...passenger side, I think. 75-78 were the same, 74 was different-looking with a red reflector.

Just looked at the auction site, he wants a 10% or $1,000 min. after car sells. This sounds a bit high for a commission.

 

[polara71]

I don't know how this auction stays in business. It costs 500 to put your car for sale on the floor and $25.00 to walk in the door.... and Saturdays are always packed

 

[commando1]

Because everyone goes.
Once.

 

[polara71]

But it's the repeat business that keeps this event going. Hell, even I go every three years, just to get out in winter

Most are like that now.

Is it the same as the C-pillar medallion?

75 new Yorker is wrote on back glass

 

[Mr C]

Is it the same as the C-pillar medallion?

The 75-78 crest is part of the gas cap cover reflector it seems, not a separate emblem. They have a subdued red hue to the crest, seem to be a graphic in the reflector and I can never recall them being really red.

Maybe I should have been more clear, the flip up door assembly bolts to the light bezel. Here's one I pulled years ago. I had designs on using it as a receiver hitch cover.

They always look like this one in my experience.

The 74 cover is different and the crest may be the same as the C pillar Newport crest, I don't have one to examine.

 

[1978 NYB]

Mine looks about the same color and hue on my 78 Newport. The C-Pillar medallions I currently have on the Newport don't have any red left on them. The medallions I received from Mr. C is a huge improvement. Thanks Sir!
