I paid $4800 for my 69 Newport with 69 k miles 3.5 yrs ago just before the covid shut down. She ran but needed a complete going over after setting for several years. I've put about 8k miles on her since then.

My brother gets a lot of those with his 79 roadrunner. Was following him in my 69 to a car show in a little town north of us. This guy on the sidewalk was was jumping up and down yelling as my brother passed. When I got to him I heard in say "Wait that's not a Mustang"

I've done that with my Crossfire

My 69. 75k miles, 20 yr old Earl Schibe paint job.

Haven't pulled the vinyl top off my Newport yet. But when working on my Galaxie, we pulled a little to much lead out of the roof seam when stripping the paint. We just used bondo to fill it back up

Yeah, I bought her cheap in 92. Had fits with the original fi. We had just put in the then bran new Holley throtlebody set up, when she threw 2 rods. Got the new engine in and the alternate burnt the wiring. She has set like that since 95. Plan is to drop a modern hemi and Transmission in...

Always been a fan of the 79 300, just never lucky enough to pick up one. I have an 82 Imperial that's been waiting on me for about 25 yrs. Hoping to get started on her in the spring. Keep us updated on your progress.

That's the old Johan police car kit I believe. Really nice build. I have the truck setting around trying to decide what I want to do with it.

My 82 Imp. Had her 25 yrs. She's waiting in line for her hemi swap My brother's 79 Roadrunner, just about to make her autocross debut.

Found an old pic of the 69 300 I had in the early 90s. Shows the body line pretty well.

It's there on my 69. Right under the beat upside molding.

Here is a pic of the buckets in my 69 Newport, manufacture date Nov 7, 1968. Hope that helps.

I agree with that. Trying not to do anything that couldn't be undone. When we changed grills the original was packed up with the old headlights and stored away. I have a second hood so if I decide to play (always wanted an airgrabber) the original hood can stay intact.

No, going to leave her white. May do something like this. If I remove the vinyl top, it needs some color to break up all the white. I have a set of 300 tail lights and back bumper to put on her.

Nice looking car. Take your time. She will let you know what she needs next. I got my 69 Newport alittle over 2yrs ago. She sat for yrs in an old Indiana firehouse. Took us a month to get her reliable. When we put on the 4 bbl the fuel pump wasn't strong enough. Hold off on the big things...
