Looks like he listened to Scott, finally.
Cool car. IMO, he's asking top dollar for the car. For that money, I expect at a solid #2- car. It's got incorrect front seat covers and the dash pad appears to be jacked up. Not to mention the hole in the quarter. I'd say this is a $7,000-$8,000 car the way it sits.
1966 Chrysler Newport 2 Door Hardtop with Numbers Matching 383 and Extremely Rare factory 3 Speed Column Mounted Manual Transmission! Less than 300 of these three speed manual transmission cars were built, most were 4 door sedans, and according to Chrysler Group LLC, this was the ONLY Red 2 Door Hardtop built with a 3 speed manual transmission! In other words, this is the only one like it in the world. 1 of 1.
It is a low option car - having only a Radio, Antenna, Bucket Seats and Fender Skirts as options, as shown on the original fender tag which is still in place.
This is a good straight car, which appears to have never been wrecked, with very straight body panels all around. The paint is very good all over. There is very minor rust above the left rear fender skirt and below the right rear wheel.
The interior is original, and it needs the drivers side bucket seat reupholstered. Legendary Interiors carries what you'll need in exact reproduction parts. According to the major Auction houses, this is very likely a $25,000 car with the interior and minor paint/body touchups.
4 new tires; newly rebuilt gas tank. Drive it home!
I have owned and enjoyed this car for many years, but due to health issues, I can no longer do the maintenance and keep uo my treasures so I am liquidating my collection.
1st $7,950. Worth much more!
