Glad to have found this forum. Im working on a 1971 Newport, thats a local car. 50,000 Original miles and in fairly decent shape. She's a base model 383 however Ive been busy getting things up to speed. I appreciate and advice and look forward to hearing for you all.

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! Great looking ride!

Welcome great looking car. Got to be happy to see those clean floor pans.

 

[Wollfen]

Welcome, like the car, I haven't ever seen a Newport in that color scheme before, it looks to be factory too. Interesting.

Welcome aboard from Ontario. Judging from how solid your car looks you don't use much salt on the roads that far north. A very nice looking ride. BTW the lawnmower parked next to the snow machine speaks volumes.

 

[crossmi]

Thanks, and they don't use salt up here, it gets to cold and doesn't work...thats a good thing for the cars...Yeah the lawnmower and skidoo are all part of the joys of the north...

I'm a great fan of 4 doors and you have a very nice one there.

Welcome. Looks like you have a nice solid car to work with, I'm looking forward to hearing more updates.

Im no mopar expert and I certainly dont have the kind of abilities of some of the masters that post here. That being said Im pretty pleased with the ongoing progress. Most major engine accessories have been replaced or repaired...The interior is a work in progress and were working to try to create something that would not look out of place in 1971..
This is the idea from a 1971 Satellite

And here is the work in progress...

@crossmi -- belated welcome, any updates of your car?

Welcome, like the car, I haven't ever seen a Newport in that color scheme before, it looks to be factory too. Interesting.

It is the second fusie with grey/silver paint and green interior that I can remember seeing -- here is another (1970 EA4 silver Dodge Polara with F1F8 green cloth & vinyl interior and a green vinyl top).
