Catch of the day... 69 Newport

[Megawattkid]

Picked this up today for a friend. Very solid for a Missouri car, unfortunately someone ripped her heart out recently, but at least they were careful when they did so. Not many options but very little rust, no vinyl top to rot the roof. Previous owner saved it from the crusher recently so kudos to him.

This body style has grown on me over the last couple of years.

Hows the wagon coming?

That's a great color, and it looks really straight and solid...congrats

 

[FURYGT]

I am a big fan of that color.

Hows the wagon coming?

patiently waiting to get my hands on the engine.... I did get a nice set of spare tail lights for the convertible and a set of door glasses for a 70 300 2 door last weekend as they auctioned off the farm equipment and property of the previous owner. and a 70 charger drivers side seat with tracks for little to nothing to tease the b body crowd.

This Dodge cabover just happened to be there also where I picked up the Newport.

You should buy that and start your very own c-body car hauling company! Plenty of customers right here passing cars back and forth.

Those chrome bumpers look pretty straight and clean. Doesn’t look to have any pitting. If the interior isn’t too far gone - it wouldn’t be insane to put a new power plant in and fix it up.

When you are ready to move the wagon, remember me please ....

I lke the Newport a lot.

A 383 is an easy find.

I would just throw a drivetrain in, fix it up and drive it

The cab over is sweet ....

I agree, we can all dream! Unfortunately life always gets in the way.

I will, however wagons are my first love... which speaking of wagons, I got a 4 post lift late last year and what a difference that can make in one's life of working on C bodies! I recommend it for everyone.

That's the plan, the interior needs some love but isn't past the point of no return. Bumpers are great for chrome, but unfortunately someone decided to practice their sawzall skills on the rear bumper completely ruining it for no apparent reason.

If I did the link correct they're in here, at least the one's worthy of indoor storage.
Lurking for 3 years, now coming out

Great pics, thanks for sharing! Wow, that L1000 though, I have the hots for it! And I'll add, if anyone ever needs to do any business with Megawattkid I'll say that there isn't a more honest and good guy to deal with. If only all people would be like him there would be very few problems in this world. I'm proud to call him a friend.
