Those 17" wheels look good on there. Front end needs to be 1/2" or so higher (i.e., rocker panel more level with the road). Some BFG rubber would probably be better, to me. Thanks for posting, CBODY67

ANY Chrysler Corp convertible is a low-production number car, much less a Sportgrain. The fact it is a convertible should be reason enough to save it, BUT rarity does not always equate into "value", unfortunately. The Sportgrain was kind of neat, but only on some body colors. BTAIM Anything...

In one respect, almost every car that age will need a full repaint, usually. Just that this one will need more surface prep. Engine will need a timing set and probably a valve job. Interior will need work too, usually. Fuel system will need the rubber items replaced/updated, too. Plus...

Seems like the SC 15x8 wheel has more of a normal silver paint on it. The Magnum GT 15x7s I have have a rough metalflake-type textured paint over the black paint on the wheel. Unlike any other wheel paint I've ever seen. That paint CAN be factory-applied thinner on some wheels, too, as I...

Like the exterior color. Don't remember many in that color, 2dr or 4dr.

Over the years, I've seen "restored" Crown Vics with law enforcement-type graphics and always suspected that even if they might be a real PI unit (never did learn to determine what was real, back then, on those particular cars), it was still a Ford Crown Vic with some HD options. Whereas, these...

Thanks for the link! LOTS of great pictures that would make nice screensavers. Interestingly, that is the same color combination as my '67 CE23 383 4bbl car. Mine is drum brakes w/ac, though. It needs to find a good home! CBODY67

Just came from Hamtramck-Historical, where I read through the '66 VIP sections. The hood insulator pad was paired with Factory Undercoat as a stand-alone option package. There was ONE 440, the 440/365 motor, which had a 4-speed manual trans as standard (lesser motors had the normal 3-speed...

Looks like a very nice car, needing a few things. As I recall, that silver color was a Spring Special color, which was also on a lot of "special option package" Fury III cars, too. Looked really nice. Forgot about the spare tire cover that matched the trunk mat. Being a Plymouth, it would...

Power disc brakes or just the wheel covers? No a/c? Just some thoughts, CBODY67

All it takes is a first-gen Cordoba front frame with the B block mounts and it's all bolt-in. I saw a '79 St Regis at Mopar Nats one year that was that way. It was a genuine law enforcement vehicle with the dual exh front floor section. The worst thing, the owner said, was to get a new a/c...

"Gold Packages" were popular on Cadillacs. Purely dealer-installed items (or by trim shops which specialized in such things), as in the 1970s. Actually, a "brass color" than real gold, as I recall. In later times, it's just a liquid which is brushed over the chrome items desired to be "gold"...

A low-production/"now-rare" vehicle hiding in plain, open sight! Might well need "agreed value" insurance and not used for normal, daily use, for best results. The a/c on my '80 will chunk ice cubes quickly after starting in the TX summer heat. NO ATC options on these cars. All of the...

The rear quarter windows were like that as it was "the style" back then. The normal Newports had similar quarter windows, just not the vinyl landau roof extending down on them. Also allowed for a less wide rear door glass. The factory AM/FM Stereo/CB radio is also a somewhat rare period...

Thanks for finding that ad! CBODY67

In the referenced ad in the prior posting, I would like to know if that is a USA ad or an ad that was for the Euro market. I found the picture of the car in the meadow, but without the ad copy and the watermark of our Euro associates' website on it. If it might be a USA ad for the domestic...

Just accessed the '71 Chrysler full-line brochure via www.eatondetroitspring.com "Links" and it shows no Newport Royal models or 360 V-8 in it. I do recall seeing that particular '71 Royal hardtop add, but didn't read the copy until I saw the one posted. I was collecting new car brochures back...

Seems like the '71 Newport Royal was a late-introduction model? In looking at the 1971 Order Guide items at www.hamtramck-historical, in the "Models" section, the Newport Royal is listed with its standard equipment. But in the "Options" listing, the "Newport" is the only one listed, no mention...

For '72, the model lineup was simplified. Newport Royal (400 2bbl std, w/440 opt) replaced both the '71 Newport Royal (360 2bbl) and '71 Newport (normal, with a 383 2bbl std).

Looks like a decent and clean car, from the available pictures. With the aftermarket a/c, would be a good candidate for a Sanden and R-134a. Plus a new timing chain and HD shocks. Then drive it and enjoy! Hope it finds a good home! CBODY67
