Looks really sweet for 3k, appears to have been Ziebart type rust proof by the number of black plugs around doors.
Some evidence of repainting on passenger door, I'd suggest a close hands on eyeball if your going to believe the mileage, but for 3 grand it's kind of a moot point.
Trunk spare parts leads me to believe that there was no faith in the ECU lean burn system when new.

Could be a nice buy if there isn't any surprises.
Here's the text for the ad.
1978 Chrysler Newport 4 door hardtop sedan in showroom appearance and condition; PS, PB, AC, CC.
The 400 cubic inch V8 lean-burn engine runs very well using 89 or 87 octane gas.
All accessories work fine. The manual window cranks work easily. All 4 doors operate smoothly and all glass is in good shape.
The upholstery, headliner, rugs, and mats are original and in very good condition; the body chrome is very good. Original very nice body paint and vinyl top with some added pin stripping, wheel well chrome, and 5 very nice Goodyear Integrity 225 75R15 tires mounted on aluminum rally wheels.
This near original 18 foot long Chrysler Newport survivor and is a real head turner on the streets, is comfortable to drive with lots of leg room as well as having a very large truck space to hold pick nick, and cross country car show needed items.
This Chrysler MOPAR is Minnesota titled with Collector plates and has always been garaged.
The car could be a daily driver, but the MN Collector plates limits the actual driving occasions to car shows, parades, etc...the very low original miles (about 42,333) suggests that you may want to trailer this unique near-original car to your location.
Email or call for more information.
Full payment in CASH ... followed by title transfer at buyers expense.

Wouldnt suprise me to see this one in the car corral tomorrow at Mopars in the Park
I like the MN collector plate driving stipulation comment...I have been dodging that one forever...
The newest online description does mention limited use, but wasn't as anal as past wordings. Just remember that you use your car for "club" functions or something like that.

I do think there should be some stipulations on usage. A few winters ago I walked by a total POS 1980’s vintage ford escort in the local hospital parking lot. Rusty , with classic car plates and fast food garbage inside it . The owner wasn’t even trying to hide his scamming of the system.
The main thing they include in the language is, not for daily driving. As long as you have one regularly registered vehicle, the rest can be collector plates, drive whatever you want each day
You'd have to have a cop watching you to get busted using that law. Only real pricks have any problem. I drive my car almost daily and they've never said a word to me about it. And in the Twin Cities metro area, there's probably a half dozen car shows or cruise ins each day, just need to know where they are located, so you can use that as an excuse. Cops love to play games, I play along.

In December, when I spotted this pos escort? Don’t think so. And if I am using collector plates on my two cars as they were intended and think others should also, now I’m a “prick”? How nice....

Don't believe anyone called you a prick. I never get bothered by someone putting collector plates on a POS, it states the vehicle needs to be over 20 years old, that's it, the one defining factor other than not the daily driver. There is no mileage number stated, or weather conditions or anything else. I could put them on my '98 Ram, would that make you or someone else mad, for a truck that looks like I might drive it everyday? I do t know what that person had, they had to have another vehicle, or they would not have gotten the collector plate in the first place. I'll wait to meet you before I judge you, it's only fair.
