'65 Newport Coupe

[65NewportCoupe]

Here is my '65 Chrysler Newport coupe. I drive it all the time except in really bad weather. I have had it since May 2011 and haven't done a lot to it with the exception of a complete tune up, fuel pump and new 2.5" dual exhaust system. Needs floor pan replaced on passenger side, dash pad, headliner and some other minor details.

'73 Charger 400/727 drivetrain. Hughes cam, 452 heads, HV oil pump, double roller timing chain, Edelbrock Performer 383+600 Holley(1 inch Spacer). It runs very well. Stock bottom end...

Welcome! Gotta love the '65's. Here's mine:

Rexus, I was a bit surprised to see your car was a 300. I always thought it was a 300L. Or have you bought another?

Nope, just a highly optioned 300.

Nope, just a highly optioned 300.

Just like mine then, a 300L in 300 clothing!

(apart from the fact yours is a convertible, and mines a hardtop!)

Yep. I actually prefer the trim on the 300 vs. the L. The grill and quarter emblems are definitely nicer.
