Hey gang, another newbie here. Just horse traded for a '62 Newport. I have a couple other Mopars; '65 Valiant 2 door with a slant 6, and a '65 Dodge D200 crew cab with a tunnel rammed dual quad 440.

Got the Newport for the wife, but it's gonna need some TLC. Has a 361, has been sitting for about 6 years without being started. Supposedly ran decent when parked but we'll see about that.

Anyhoo, glad to be a part of the gang, I'm sure I'll be picking at some of your brains with dumb questions very soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I grew up in Detroit so I've been around quite a few Mopars in my life, seems like I'm slowly becoming a Mopar nut. So if the Newport isn't technically a "C" body, what platform DOES is belong to?

Alpha designations for Mopar body lines didn't start until the mid-sixties. The first year for the full size line, named C-body, was 1965.
No letter designation was given to that year Newports. Don't worry about it.
It's a a Mopar.
It's full sized.
And it's RWD.
That's all that matters here. Again, welcome aboard.
