Hi all, sad day, selling off my 1972 Newport. Don't wanna sell her but owner of my garage I rent is selling the building and the new garage is quite a bit smaller.
Not sure if she's far gone enough to part her out. My plan was to replace the stub frame (have a decent one from a new yorker) and patch up the rust.
Engine is great, low original miles as you can see in the pic. Replaced the heads with with a nice gone over set. While the top half was off I was still able to make out honing marks on the cylinder walls. Installed a Single Plane intake (I know I know, I should've went with dual plane, but it was a great deal so I couldn't pass it up) and a good working edelbrock 650 with electric choke. Took it on an almost 4000 mile roadtrip prior to parking her in the shop.
Replaced ball joints, tie rods, and U-joints before the roadtrip.
Took apart the interior and started disassembling the engine to remove.
I could get it driveable pretty easy if someone needs that to buy.
Comes with a set of used Hooker headers.
Decided I would post it here for a week or so in the hopes one of you guys would want it. Prefer not to deal with craigslist.
I wouldn't mind hoarding the engine and trans, so I'm not completely against parting it out as the rust is pretty bad.
Not sure what I want for the absolute entire package. So I'm open to offers (even though I hate when people do that)
