One of my favourite things about my Newport was that it was big inside and out, 71-76 GM fullsize cars have big bodies but interior dimensions similar to 77-96 fullsize. I once put 4 31x10.50-15 tires on rims in the backseat of the Newport, not many vehicles have that much room inside. The...

Part of my appreciation for these cars comes from watching the same movies. I have always wanted a B-Body from this era, preferably one of each lol. I'm thrilled to have this car, on so many levels. I have almost always had 4 door boats, Mopar/GM/Ford, mostly from the 80s, only sporty car was...

My parents had an 81 Gran Fury 318 ex police car when I was young, my brother and I would fight over who got to sit in the middle front seat because we sat on top the arm rest and could see more. That car is long gone but the engine is in an 80 W200 I still have and the transmission is in the...

I got a new Mopar, it's not a C body, wanted to share it with you guys anyway. It's a 78 Fury cop car, pretty solid but needs a lot of TLC

One of my customers dropped these off, he got them for his 73 Fury III, they wouldn't fit his car because of repairs to the wheel well that were done prior to having the fenderskirts and were not exact to factory form. I'm not an avid online parts salesman, figured I'd share these here for the...

It is GY9 Dark Gold, it's a hidden gem/less known or appreciated colour, in some lighting shows a copper/orange hue. I'm satisfied with the sale, more money would be OK, but the money I got was enough. Jack, the new owner, is a local guy, mid 20s, works as a mechanic at a local garage I used...

I'm not in the Fuselage club anymore, I sold my 72 Newport a couple weeks ago. I have lots of vehicles, the Newport was one of four that are on the road, and have another 6 plus for future projects, an 85 K2500, 80 W200, 88 W150, 77 LeBaron, 67 Imperial Crown, 79 F250. The Newport always got...

Thanks for the compliments. I'm proud of my job on this car, my first bends on it were done when I had eight years of "professional" (as part of my job as an auto mechanic) custom bending experience under my belt, it was the first C body I did, but not my first bending job. I put a lot of...

I pulled it in the garage tonight and took photos, now or never When I first put the car together I had the exhaust exit ahead of the rear wheels, put tail pipes on later These cars show their pipes more than a Chevy and can give the appearance of hanging low when they are right, maybe I see...
