SOLD 68 Newport sedan

[furyus 67]

Again , not mine. Belongs to a guy a few miles from me. As I'm told it's a Tennessee car. Looks like it has a slightly different colored front clip. 383 car. If your interested I will pass you his number. He's asking 4500 for the car. My daughter insisted on presenting the car for you guys!

Your daughter has great taste.

She's a little cutie, must have got her mothers looks I'm guessing?

Quite the opposite ! She's an absolute mini-me!!

 

[mr. fix it]

It's not a $4500 car though.....

 

[furyus 67]

Agreed! 100k and an off color front clip. I don't know him personally. I stopped to talk to him when I saw all the mopars. He's got a 67 belvedere II in his garage that looks decent.

 

[furyus 67]

Well I think the fella that owns this may have seen the light lol. He called me earlier today and said he'd be willing to take $3000 for it and I'd be willing to bet there may be more wiggle room. Anyway just putting it out there for you guys. PM me with any questions and I'll answer to the best of my knowledge or just pass the gentlemans number.

try 1500

 

[furyus 67]

Another price drop. He called me the other day and offered it for 2000. Again if anyone is interested let me know.

Does it run? Frame damage would be my main concern since it does look like the whole front clip was changed.
I may be interested at around 1500 if I can have a garage look at it on a lift first, check the frame and "Tennessee" body.
I'm guessing from your avatar info the car is in Flint, do you know a garage in the area? I have no problem paying for an inspection, if it works out, I'd like to also get a local shop to paint it and do the interior, I suspect it will be much cheaper up there in Flint than around here.
I posted in the "wanted" section, I'm definitely in the market.
Thanks

Send Furyus 67 a private message. I can't imagine the car ever sold at that asking price.

Yes it is in Flint. I believe it's still available. Although I'm not sure he'd let it go for 1500. I'll speak to him after work today, if he's interested in your offer I will message you his contact info.

 

[furyus 67]

He's not interested @1500.

 

[Cobram]

If the car is straight, doesn't need major mechanical I'll come up a bit, or might even consider something around the $2000.00 he's asking.

I haven't been on this site but a few days, I'll try and Personal Message you here. If you know someone in the area that can do an inspection ect., and a decent body shop to give an estimate on body work and a repaint, should everything be straight and in decent mechanical shape, I can pay to have it towed if it's not registered or not running (not running would be a concern.)

I would be more than happy to pay you for your time, you seem to know your Mopar's and would be doing me a huge favor.

Just to give you an idea of why I'm being cautious, I followed up on a Craigslist ad for a '68 Newport in "rust free" great condition in Maine a few months ago. Spoke to the seller on phone, then spent a total of 8 hours driving back and forth to see the car, idiot selling it wasn't even home when I got there, his wife showed me the car, it was a rot bucket sunk into about 3 feet of dirt that hadn't moved since the Nixon administration. I once bought a motorcycle sight unseen.....that's a story for another day!

 

[mr. fix it]

I have to say that it turned out good for me then with the 73 I bought

 

[Moparbrad]

That car appears to have a lot going for it. Power windows, cruise, nice looking interior, Magnum 500 wheels, dual exhaust... If that car was here, I'm sure it would have been long gone!

 

[furyus 67]

If I had an extra 2grand is mark it as "SOLD"!!!

 

[furyus 67]

Final price drop for those guys that have been holding out. 1500.....yes 1500 dollars but you will not get the road wheels and new tires. 1500 gets the car with steelies and decent tires. If the car doesn't sell sell he's taking back to Tennessee and parting it out.

 

[BlueVenger22]

Hmmm..I wonder where in Tennessee? I'd definitely be interested for $1500. I'd rather have it on steelies anyway.
