Hi guys Im on the bubble here in the pre 68 forum. I've found myself a nice barn find with this 68 Newport custom 2 door hard top. I'm looking for the right forum to introduce the car and maybe get some resto advice. This car is all original numbers matching with original fender tag. It has the 2 barrel 383 big block...290hp. Im the 2nd owner as the original owner finally gave her up after 45 years but the car has been in storage for close to 25 of those years. All badging, chrome trim and body parts are original. I Believe the original color is aqua marine with matching interior. The faded paint appearance in the pics is actually just dust, wipes right off as it has just emerged from the garage. It has some wear and tear but it was appraised locally here in Sudbury Ontario.at $4500 so I believe i'm off to a good start. I picked it up for a decent $3000 and the car will certify as is or with little trouble and runs on first turn of the key. I'll be starting to work on it this winter with some interior work and getting the body as straight as possible before paint and an engine rebuild and a switch to a 4 barrel set up. Worth a $3000 investment?
