For Sale 1971 Chrysler Newport Royal - Not Much Money- Not Bad Looking

[saforwardlook]

This car seems too nice to see it crushed. Although the listing says 1970, it is a 1971. It is a nice straight apparently rust free California car and appears pretty unmolested. It does have a salvage title, but that wouldn't deter me if I wanted one. And the price is nice. Don't know if it runs or not, but it has a/c (I think - it has a 5 button a/c switch, not the heater only or strato vent only 4 button switch) and bucket seats, so it isn't a strippo. And I would wager it has original paint! Driver maybe with some work? I like it:

Great price... I could see having that mailed to FL, but no place to put it. Scar on the carpet/hump could be from the cassette option? Would have been nice to see under the hood, but I'm not a player on this one anyhow.

Now if it really had a cassette option, that would be remarkable for a Royal. Would really like to see the body code plate on this one - it could be a 360 or a 383 as well.

Looks like the same location ........
Probably in a E-body now.....

Nice car, someone on the west coast needs to get it. I have bought cars from the Pick and Pulls in my area, and they will deal on their cars. You could walk away with this one for under a grand.

 

[polara71]

Bucket seats too....WOW!

They probably pulled the player/recorder when the after market radio went in

step up and put it on your asylum Steve.
It shouldn't die

Appears to be a nice solid project for someone. 360 would be ideal.

A Repaint is a Must. I could not Stand the Baby **** Green. Maybe it looks like that because the paint is Fadded.

 

[Golden Banana]

I want it!!

It is hard enough for me to resist as it is Carsten! But I do have the missing cassette player that it seems to need (and the proper radio).................................................. Crap!

The condition of the paint is poor due to all the years of fading. When buffed out, it would be much lighter and a metallic. You would be surprised at how nice it would look after it was buffed. I am not a fan of green generally, but the original green on that car was pretty nice IMO.

 

[fc7_plumcrazy]

ok Steve.
Save it. Buy it. Park it on your asylum.
Inform your overseas friends about it and I am sure someone will step up to save it on the long term

That Newport is either amber sherwood metallic (a very light green metallic) or GJ4 which is april green metallic, which is probably one of my most favorite colors - and I am thinking it looks much more like the GJ4 than the sherwood color. This is the same color as on the 1971 Polara Brougham I sold to Finland with its original paint - I thought the appearance of that car was close to perfect with that color. This Newport is seriously tempting. What to do?.....................

Hey, it hurts me at least as much as you to think that I really sold it!

I don't have any better way to cause someone to buy this Newport rather than me unless I show the possibilities with that color!

No vinyl top to boot

this ones a no brainer...if you have the time and the room.....

I live 4 minutes from there and all the locals know of the car have passed on it.There is a reason why it hasn't sold in 3 months. I know two of the north-cal regional managers for the yards and two guys whom tried to buy it. This is the info I was given. Motor seized, oil pan, trans pans and rearend were punctured to drain fluids, parts were removed that weren't supposed to be sold due to nobody watching the car and it sat out in the open. Then the car was fork lifted several times and the floorpans look pushed up and driveshaft took a hit. Then paperwork was done as a 1970, not a 1971 so it has to be redone all over again. California will not issue any paperwork until it gets lights and brake inspection, plus the vin number will need to be re-inspected and fees payed. Since the paperwork is off by one digit (the Year) it would have be done all over again, which is about another 32 days (if nobody contests the lien sale issued). Then it has to be reinspected again since it left their possession and has to be checked again. On top of that, it has been added to the national database as a salvage vehicle, so that will be on the vehicle forever. Fees almost double the price and due to size, transport costs are $1000-$1800 to most places outside California. That's the info I was told, so I assume it's gonna be a pain to deal with. That's why I decided to stick with my 'Road Warrior/ Fury Road' project car and decided that was not the c-body I wanted to get back into c-bodies with. Shame too as I have access to the new Magnum Force C-body suspension assembly.
