Looks good now in white. R6 would have been a great color also.
Any pics of that 70 barracuda hanging out next to it?

No, cool clay gray color, all chrome done in black. Did look at it, overall a nice build, don't recall the engine. I'm more an OE guy, don't spend a lot of time on those.

We have another rare N-code Newport 'vert today. This is an early build: SPD was August 11, 1969! Very nicely equipped, she is currently for sale with a Hurst tribute paint job in Michigan.

If you're going to put a 300 grill into a Newport, try to include the 300 bumper too. The four signal lights look bad, in my opinion.
 
Thanks to @67newport we have a white Newport 'vert that was owned by "Benji" and was seen many times at Bemidji MN. Simon Fordman has brought CE27L0C103382 back on the road and documented the feat on a great YouTube video:



The fender tag can be seen at 2:06:45. EW1 with E2X9 bench seat black interior and EW1 white top. H51 A/C and R13 radio as options. The SBD was August 18, 1969 if I see correctly.

Thanks to the indomitable @70 Sport Suburban we have PM27G0D165487 -- an EW1 Fury iii vert that is currently being sold as a parts car. SBD was Nov. 24, 1969. White EW1 paint and V3W top, blue M4B3 vinyl bench interior and V5B molding fillers.

@Lowbudget recently acquired an N-code Newport convertible in Carlin, Nevada and is planning to get her back on the road. CE27N0C180789 is loaded but the front clip was changed and the fender tag is missing. From the ad, we gather that she has power windows, power antenna, power seat, power disc brakes, factory ac. Am/fm with 8 track. Thanks to @67valiant 100 for pointing out why she must have been born FY4 Mystic Gold with E2F4 gold vinyl bench interior. (the interior is a sure bet, the exterior could be FY6 or FF4 -- but that is unlikely).
@Lowbudget has found the tag of CE27N0C180789 and kindly posted it here. SBD was December 18, 1969. The car is indeed loaded, FY4 FY4 Mystic Gold with E2F4 gold vinyl bench interior as predicted by @67valiant 100 and V3X black convertible top.
