67 Newport fastback slant 6

[furyus 67]

I remember reading somewhere on here about the rarity of a 67 Newport FAST TOP slant 6. Is my memory serving me correctly? Is this a rare car?

Fast top.....

 

[furyus 67]

Fast top.....

thanks.....

So stupid question or what?

Never, ever, absolutely not.

And I'm stilling waing for someone to show me that a /6 Polara roamed the wild.

I've never heard of or seen one. But that doesn't mean one doesn't exist. A slant 6 in a four door sedan would be fun.

I asked because I was surprised when I found one. Then I saw a comment on (I think) the FM3 fusie for sale post that may have mentioned is rarity. I tried to find that post but as the wife says " I look like a man."

 

[commando1]

Wait.....

You found a /6 Newport. Is that what you are saying?

 

[furyus 67]

According to the vin decode I did ......yes. Let me elaborate. It's in a junk yard. No motor or trans. I posted a pic of it on an earlier post and the last time I was there I decoded the vin. Or a website did anyway.

And what did your eyes see besides a vin and how you decoded it as?

Ok, I'm hooked. More info please.

I'll go get a pic of the fender tag and vin tomorrow. I do remember it was an "e" code for class.

 

[commando1]

So this car is still out there?

It was more than a week ago. All I can muster is the "e". And the suprised emotion that lingered.

 

[furyus 67]

So this car is still out there?

Yes

 

[furyus 67]

Other than the drivetrain and grill, most of the car is there. White interior,driveshaft is in the trunk... Interior is ruff but intact.

 

[commando1]

Repeat after me. Pictures. Lots of.
Got it?

 

[furyus 67]

Copy that!!! U want me I should grab the tag? Lol

 

[commando1]

F%$# No!
How to have it depreciate to zero in 10 seconds. Let no harm come to this car.
