Strange seeing a clutch pedal in a 70 Newport.

Now, who out there is shocked that I'm NOT going to seriously pursue this one????
I just asked for a pic of the title and if he can produce one, I'm in!

Is this the clutch & brake pedal setup that you used in your formal 4 spd conversion or did your's come from a different model?

The is the same Newport that was on CL a few months ago if I recall correctly.

Despite what some people may insist on telling you...
NO clutch & brake pedal assemby from any make, model, or year Mopar will work in a Formal. Nor can you make it work.
I had to total custom fab the assembly from scratch.

I think so, too, but the description seems completely different from what I can remember.
But that's not saying much.
But, jeeze, how many '70 white 2 dr. Newport Coupes could there be with a 3 speed...

I have a feeling this listing is totally bogus.
I ask the seller quite clearly how I was a serious bidder and and i wanted a PICTURE of the title before bidding.
I got this response:

"It has a clear title"

Outstanding engineering!

One would think the seller would produce or do whatever the buyer was asking for to sell the car. Something fishy going on. I would have to see the car in person.

This is prob the same car that you couldn't get ahold of the guy a few months ago....same area, same state, same color......

i hope it works out for ya

 

[mdh157]

maybe he has a title signed from somebody else.......and didn't bother(or couldn't) get one in his name

 

[commando1]

I could care less. I just wanna see the damn title to make sure the car actually exists!!!!
So, I send a reply again saying I need to see a pic of the title first and his response was he'll "think about it".
Already this is turning into a joke. Why do I bother???

 

[mdh157]

lol....they do exist, i've seen a '70 conv with a 3 spd. Not sure if this is a game for him or what, but this is a joke though........it's like, why list a car for sale and then make it impossible for anyone to buy it? And how do these losers get ahold of these cars?

and the reason you bother is the same reason i do.......you are insane over these stupid cars

Maybe you have a stalker on one of these sites and he is just reeling you in and poking a stick at you.

 

[70NPORT]

Same CL car listed a few months ago....check location of rear window rust....

think he might be trying to BS ya, Commando......can't see why he wouldn't just give up a pic of the title.

Same CL car listed a few months ago...

Yep. That's the one. Thanks.

I just emailed Paul "Supercarazy" Amato about it.
If anybody knows about this car, he does!

 

[70NPORT]

Yep. That's the one. Thanks.
