Great post! Been looking for someone to confirm fitment for our cars. Just ordered a pair!

Stub frame. I'm going to guess your subframe bushings are gone. You must be hearing a "clunk" going over bumps and feeling some flex. Interesting... Yours looks to be only three sides where as I've only seen them completely boxed in. I'm dealing with a '72 so maybe the '70 was different? - MG

Question for you all, will window sweeps for a 69-71 300 fit a '72 Newport? Thanks in advance for your responses Cat Whiskers 1969-1971 Chrysler 300

Thank you to the info so far. I appreciate everyone's insight. Good stuff, @CBODY67. I do have access to a lift but that would be tough logistically. I'll be doing it the "the normal way". After looking a endless options, I went with these Body Mount K Frame Bushing Kit 73-81 B Body |...

Good afternoon everyone. I'm now on my third summer, sloooowly chipping away at the '72 Newport. I hope to have it pretty much put back together by the end of the summer, with the two exceptions being the engine and the trans being rebuilt over the winter (I'm up in Maine). I do have a few...

1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited with 81k on the clock. I live 2 miles from work so the mileage stays low. The most miles comes from driving up to the mountains b/c it's really a ski rig.

More details... That came from C Body Mopar Parts Exchange group on FB. If you search any of the info in the ad, it pops right up (if your part of the group, I'm assuming)

Saw a post for door seals for a '70 300 4 door. Guessing they'd work fine for your Polara.

Update - After 9 MONTHS of waiting, my new top is in from Newstalgia.... Yes, I went with the black top. My roof is repaired, sanded, and primed and ready for installation. I'm so excited for spring to get here to get the following done and the final phase started - - New headliner...

Watching... My valance is off and I started to play the guessing game w/ the bolts inside of the trunk. Service manual has been little help. The '72 Newport page showing the rear bumper doesn't even have a valance in the diagram.

I'll keep an eye out.....

Very cool!! I love the show "Junkyard Gold", or something to that effect, that this guy does. Being in the northeast, I'd love to poke around the yard he's in.

It's more like a rubber seal that they laid down and then set the glass in. Here are a few photos. Truth be told, this was done at the metal shop and once I picked it up, I noticed that the trim clips were not put in before the glass was re-installed. They were in the trunk...... Needless to...

Thank you for posting this! Picking it up next Wednesday!

Looking great!!!! I hope my gold Newport is in the same place as your NY'er next summer. I'm going to be busy in the garage this winter!
