This blue Newport 'vert went up for sale on CL 3 days ago. I reached out to the seller, and it sold this weekend already. Unfortunately, there was no info on the VIN or fender tag, and the seller never took a photo. Hopefully it shows up at a car meet or the new owner becomes a member here! From he ad:

"one owner since 1970 garage kept its entire life hasn't been driven since 2008 we purchased it started it cleaned it up put a new set of tires on it and that's about it runs and drives beautiful has 35,000 original miles it has a 383 automatic with Factory air you can feel inside of the wheel wells they're not even dirty like brand new from the factory . look underneath the cobwebs are all over under the car it's like brand new I'm asking $10,900 or best offer"

Photos for records. It looks like it was repainted at some point (notice the missing VIN tag on the door jamb) and the top was replaced as well.

@Toolmanmike -- can you pls move this thread to the "not mine" section and delete the duplicate? Sorry for the posting issue.
 
And still no fender tag…
 
that strangely dyed dash makes me wonder if the seats and door panels were also dyed....... and its still missing wheel opening trim and rocker panel molding

Yep, something's been done to that interior. It's a very strange looking colour, like baby blue with alot of grey. The steering wheel rim and column are the original blue. Top looks tan too. Under hood blackout, universal booster/master indicates possible disc brake conversion. Manual A/C though!
 
CE27L0C216877 was originally EW1 Spinnaker White -- attached below is the tag. That explains why the trunk's interior looks white in part:
