For Sale 1971 Chrysler Newport Rust free California - $12000 (Providence)

[Snotty]

I like knowing a cars origin. Where it started life is most important, so yes, I wanna know.

I can agree with that, but I don't get the sense that's why they list them this way. I think they do it for the same reason many people are hung up on the "one of" classification: trying to get more money.

I will admit, I saw a car in Hemmings today that interests me, but it's home in Michigan turned me off. I found myself wondering how the underside looks. Full of holes? If the same car were here that thought would nit have entered my mind.

But a car that is no longer in California is, to me, not a "California Car." Someone is trying to grab attention.

My Blue car is an Oregon car, gone to Washington State, Pennsylvania then Jersey. It is still an Oregon car.

A car in Michigan can be a California car...in my eyes. By this time in their life most are not gonna be abused in salt and snow.

Too much salt here.

$12K and can't tell us the mileage on it at least? Or like stated above some shots of the interior, etc.? One repaint doesn't help - it looks dull (plus it is tawny gold - yuck). Where is the garage for this beast, or do they leave it out all the time? I would like it better with the Royal original side trim sans the push bumpers. It could be a 360-2 too, but I actually don't mind those engines in C bodies.

So it is a "one" owner "California" car and this buyer in Boston buys the car, transports it all the way to the East Coast to turn around and sell it. I better stop there...

Well, folks, the car is once again for sale. Same text and pics as the first time, and same price. The main reason I mention it here is so that I can say that this dull paint job is not the best way to advertise GY9:

Its now in Rhode Island apparently. Those bumper guards would make it a good push vehicle! That rendition of tawny gold hurts my eyes.

Price down to 8.9k.

Given that the Jalopnik link from 2008 references that car when it was in California, and said it sat outside all the time on the street, never in a garage, I would assume the interior is not very good or maybe redone. Either way, with no interior photos, I am going to assume it will be in poor shape or incorrect or maybe both.
