"Big Block 383 and a 4 speed A833 from the factory. 1 of 15 Newport convertibles with that option in 1965" is that true?

Priced as if it were a 300L IMHO. For that amount of money you would think that they would spend a few dollars for the correct air cleaner, correct brake booster and the correct battery hold down. I can live with the Magnum 500's.

I like it, but.......the price is a "bit" high.

Cool car, but base models don't bring premiums regardless of rarity

I like yours better.
And yours is half the price price, correct?

Nice car... but damn you and WasteofTimeBook as I was going to see if I could find if there was any chatter in the Mopar groups.

Now I'll spend the rest of the day looking at this sheet. (that's OK as I haven't had a good mopar geez over there in awhile)

I can tell from the linkage that the carb has been replaced, probably with an Edelbrock AFB/AVS. If so, the factory aircleaner base won't fit without modification. The factory AFB had a smaller diameter throat than the newer ones.

A white interior will do that, and I'll take 60% of that amount.

Who cares about the air cleaner?? This is a sweet car; wish I was buying. I wouldn't want to pay his price but I'd love to negotiate!!

You don't have to modify the base if you are creative. I had the same problem, but the filter in that aircleaner is the same diameter as the stock, so use the new base, fit the stock cleaner housing on top and call it a day. BTW, you then have an unsilenced air cleaner. AMHIK...
