Seems like a nice Newport. I'm sure the engine compartment will clean up nicely.

I'd like to find a Blue/Red 2 Door 440 72, but that may never happen.

Nice garage find, has some potential there.

Yes. That will never happen. Bet one was never made.

 

[theos911]

The marketing brochure has both red and blue ones shown, so maybe.

I ought to be able to find a 440 Coupe though. At that point I could just paint it.

 

[commando1]

When you say blue/red, I'm assuming you mean blue exterior with a red interior?

No red interiors were available.

 

[theos911]

That's what I thought you may have assumed and that's why I clarified. I meant blue or red exterior, probably with a black interior, but I guess tan or brown would be ok with red.

 

[commando1]

Clarification noted....

These cars were absolutely beautiful back then and now.

The red two door in the brochure is gorgeous with the road wheels

 

[70NPORT]

Indeed it is. That dark blue 4dr is very handsome as well. Nice lines.

 

[polara71]

I agree but I always wondered why people leaned towards the other body lines because I see strength and meanness in the two door Chryslers

 

[70NPORT]

I prefer the two door also. I can't quite articulate what it is with the four door that is attractive, but its definitely there. I'd drive it home.

 

[70NPORT]

The hard top looks way better than the other one though.

 

[polara71]

The four door hardtop is cleaner than a sedan in the case of the Chrysler .

 

[70NPORT]

Yea, If only they new what kind of curse that would turn out to be in the future, vinyl tops that is.

 

[mopar383]

i will agree

Wist they would have ran this style a second year and put hideaway headlights in

 

[70NPORT]

Yea, I was thinking that also. Hindsight is 20/20.
