1977 Chrysler newport

Beautiful classic survivor Chrysler its got a lean burn 400ci big block with the 727 torqueflight transmission. Its only got 36k original miles on it!!! It runs excellent and everything works exactly as it should. Its priced reasonable cause it does need a little TLC. Nothing major at all. This car has zero rust on it. Dont let this gem pass you by

Its priced reasonable cause it....

Whoa, wait a minute, here...

 

[MarPar]

But But But...A triple pickle at a reasonable price!!

And it's a Newport to boot

 

[Pclancy]

That lean burn's just dying to die. No tilt wheel. Regular AC, tho. Wonder what the seller means by a little TLC?

 

[1978 NYB]

Looks pretty nice!

At $8500 shouldn't I be seeing three 1977 Newports?

 

[commando1]

Looks pretty nice!

Agreed. And it looks exactly like my NYB... pretty nice.
The pretty nice appearance saved me the zillion dollars that I had to apply replacing every non-appearance item. It's not turnkey and a wash.

My assumption of the seller is: they seem to be a Mopar family... if a little Jeep heavy... but don't love this car. Cruising and wrenching time goes to the coupe with the unfortunate rake in the background. This is grandma's car or bought from a neighbor purely to flip. It does look good, but green would be a negative value and they are way off base on their pricing. At least it won't get smashed at that price.

I can never understand why green is a negative. I mean, some like ém blue, some like ém white, some red....why the issue with green? Of course my formal is a dark green with a white top and I think it looks cool. But why is green so often mentioned as a problem or a negative? Isn't it just about individual color preferences, which vary as much as there are individuals?

I like green cars......had several over the years.

Depends on the green in my opinion. Some colors are easier to pull off than others. For example orange along with green. Not saying I don't like green as I have three green cars. Greens like these below are good looking in person.

Sorry, I'm not being hateful... green is just a tougher sell than red or black or even most blues. I have owned plenty of green cars, and like some of the shades a lot. The next time you look at a car like this, ask yourself if it would sell faster or for bigger $$ if it were triple black?

You are probably barking at the moon Jeff. I would never own a green car, though some shades are nicer than others.

Dream on

 

[1978 NYB]

I'll take one of these again.....any day!

OK, with triple black, you've got me on that one....

I think the real negative to the price is its a sedan and a very bare bones car. No power seats no power windows. But, sometimes that's a good thing. We all know how fiddly the windows can be.
I think that if it checked out, it'd be worth $6-7,000. You could drive it a long time without putting money into it.

 

[1978 NYB]

You have to put eyeballs on a car claiming to be low mileage. If it checks out it would be worth going after and then you can just wash and wax them like Dave does.....
