That '68 is too cool! A shame it was left to rot, but it was 'just' a car when junked. I came REAL close to buying a '71 8 dr like the Roadkill guys had back about '92. It was so similar to the Roadkill one, I thought it was the same car! Sadly, no pics of the car I almost bought, I have an...

Looking at how small the fan is compared to the shroud, I'd guess its been swapped out at some point.

Once its in a yard, there's no getting it out. (legal reasons). Seen too many nice cars lost because of this.

Pulled from a '71 Newport I had 20+ yrs ago. I saved them because the housings are in such good shape. The lenses are driver quality, but still very useable. Asking $30 for the pair. Pay Pal or Postal Money Order. Shipping lower 48 only. Thanks!

Don't know if it's a 'common problem' or a 'Gulf Coast' problem but, what did in my '71 Newport was rust up in the cowl area behind the wipers. That huge plastic piece prevented me from realizing it until it was too late. EDIT: just noticed you live in North Canaan, as a kid we lived in Canaan...

Great car, fantastic work on that exhaust, but I gotta wonder about the placement of the tail pipes. Every wagon I've been in with the pipes straight back, a lot of fumes came in the car. Hopefully this is not the case here.

Just curious, what the heck is mounted under the dash next to your YETI cup holder? If someone caulked around the windshield, I'd be looking for hidden rust in the cowl area behind the wiper linkage. I lost a '71 to rot in this area.... Good luck with the sale.

Going by when I owned my '71 Newport 20 yrs ago, so, not 100% up to speed on what is currently available. Back then I used a '73 to upgrade the brakes in my '71. My reasoning was the '73 had a one piece rotor, and the spindle was made for a larger bearing. Also, back then, ONE '71 two piece...

Is the core plugged? Is there air in the system?

PM sent.

I have two 3 speed wiper motors. One is from a '73 Chrysler, the other one came from a '77 Chrysler and I was using it in my '71 Newport. The one from the '77 had been painted grey, so I'm not sure if someone just painted it, or that it means its a parts house replacement. The '73 motor hasn't...

OK, here's a toughie............. Goodyear 'Custom Power Cushion Polyglas' L84-15 pulled from '73 Town & Country Wagon. Original tire from when car was new? Don't catch me lying. As evident from rim, it has been used, but not very much. Selling to be used as a display piece, NOT to be used...

Driver quality set of wheel covers. Only one real noticeable ding (pictured) otherwise minor wear visible. One wheel cover left the factory with the letters painted incorrectly (missed their target). Going a little high on price, but the price includes shipping in the lower 48, asking $125.00...

A set of floor vents from a '71 Newport I used to own. The rubber seals are still soft and pliable. The doors move freely. What you see is what you get. I do not have the cables that control these. They got lost in one of many moves over the past 20 yrs. Not sure what these are worth...

This is what slowed me down for the past few weeks. My foot doesn't make a good wheel chock. Doesn't make for a good speedbump either. As mentioned, was wearing my boots. My foot rolled onto its side as it went under the wheel, but the steel toe actually supported the weight as the wheel passed...
