    1971 N-code Factory Sunroof Newport

    Something else I remember, more as a cautionary tale than anything else. When I first installed the air shocks I did so with a single air inlet. But even though I had run air shocks in numerous other vehicles, I apparently got the plastic line to close to the exhaust in this installation...

    That is pretty neat to still be in there. It had an original 71 owners manual when I sold it. But someone must have grabbed it and forgot to put it back in.

    I made sure to include that with the car when it sold. Along with the owners manual.

    1971 N-code Factory Sunroof Newport

    The burnouts, racing, and high speed max outs were rare, and far between. It was mostly driven with care, and even when driving in a spirited manner I never pushed it so hard as to damage it. It was a very fun car to own. I never should have sold it, but the opportunity to get a late B body, and...

    That decal was on the bumper when I bought it. In fact I didn't know what a Chris Craft was when I first saw it. The window decals were just some performance parts decals I stuck on the 1/4 glass. Summit Racing, Edelbrock, etc. That came with parts I had bought.

    1971 N-code Factory Sunroof Newport

    All I recall from when I bought it is that the owner previous to me was supposed to have been the original owner, and he had ordered or bought the car because of the HP engine to haul his boat to and from the marina. It had one of those old 70's style chrome bolt on bumper hitches when I first...

    Those may be the same tires I put on it shortly before I sold it. Do you recall if the receipt was from a tire shop in Council Bluffs? Possibly Bob's Tires?

    Sorry about the hood pins, I was 22 and it was my cherished hotrod at the time. Always garage kept during my tenure as caretaker, washed weekly, waked or polished monthly, with spray and wipe care care done nearly daily when it was uses as my daily driver. I traded a very rusty 1964 D200...

    I transferred them to my laptop, and the image loader likes me now. Keep in mind this was a car I had owned in the early to mid 90's so the lift shackles and air shocks were not so out of place. Growing up in the 70's the penny pusher look was the thing to do. These are pictures of pictures...

    I am really happy to see it is (was) still around. I have a few pictures from prior to my sale of the car. But I can't seem to get the "upload image" button to work, and no longer have a photo host site to post a url.
