Is your radio the original tumble wheel radio? I have that on my 67 Custom Newport, and while it does still work, mine is an AM radio only. I kept it, and well installed a JVC stereo under my seat. Now, locally I don't listen to the radio stations because you get 15 minutes of music, 20 minutes...

Personally, those wheels look awesome. Now, if you want to change the look, stay with 15 inch. I have the same car and it came with factory 14 inch steel wheels and hub caps. I did change to 15 inch wheels, and remember, if you change the diameter of the wheel, you are going to have to change...

Yes, they will. I have a 67 Newport Custom, 2dr fastback. Original wheels were 14". After a blow out and damaged steel wheel, I installed my 80 Dodge Diplomat "Mirada" wheels, yes, 15 inch but they were factory wheels from my first 80 Diplomat. I bought another Diplomat just a few years ago and...

I purchased from Auto City, off eBay. found out afterwards, while they listed last one in stock, it actually wasn't in stock took 7 months and had to be manufactured from someone else. I did find the manufacture after 3 months of waiting, they sent me a email saying, Oh we have one in stock we...

Good day Everyone, Seeking help here. When I bought my 73 Newport 2 door hardtop, the front and rear glass both leaked and had been covered, or externally sealed with silicon. Since I had successfully fixed the issue on my 67 Newport long ago, that had the same issue, I figured I would do the...

very nice car. I am sure you can locate the correct remote mirror. My 67 has one, and looking at your door panel, I see the hole for the remote cable is plugged. When the car was repainted (changed), did they paint everything, including inside trunk and engine compartment ?

how bad? I just bought my 73 a few months ago, previous owner backed over a fire hydrant, so needless to say, I little bent up..

I will do some more research, but would be interested in rear valance (below bumper). I am thinking it would fit a 73 Newport also.

Good day everyone, checking my A/C system today while I am waiting on new windshield. Started car, let it run. I turned on A/C to check to see if compressor was working, seemed fine, just need a charge. I cut the switch off and noticed the compressor did not turn off with system turned off. I...

Looking over this, as I have a 67 Newport. Never had any electrical issues, but one day, started smoking under the dash. The fuse for the heater (fan) had overheated and melted the fuse block connection. Didn't blow the fuse, jut melted the box. That was fun tracking down the wiring. Reading...

Thank you, but these won't work for the need. I will continue to search for the nylon replacement guide.
