68 NewPort 2d hardtop Ontario

[68newport2door]

Hey guys, glad to be here. About a mounth ago I picked up this 68 here in ontario canada. Its 2 door hardtop with the 383, in consort blue poly. From what i know so far it was originally sold in BC, spent 30ish years in a field in Albert then made its way to ontario in 2021. I have got in touch with the previous owner that brought me up to speed on its time here in ontario. So any info on its life in BC and Albert would be awsome find out.. I'm a body guy buy trade so was waiting around for something that ran and needed a little work. This old girl fit the bill. Plan to have it on the road for this summer. I'm supper new to the cbodys, so really any info will ho a long way for me. I have stipped the interior, chromes and bumper as well as weld up the floor. I am currently working on the quarter panels and rust i found hideing behind all the chromes. Here's some pics and I plan to post more as the resto continues. Cheers

I guess I should have also said I am looking for a hood chrome strip in better shape than I'm current one, one amber light cover for the front bumper indicator aswell as a rear bumper. Again I am in Bruce County Ontario so if you know of any kicking around the province let me know, preferably closer to home but if not that's OK to. Thanks in advance

Welcome and nice project. I am just the opposite. I need the good body but don’t mind the interior or mechanical. I had to hire out the body work on my 68 Polara.

Get ahold of National Moparts in Beaverton, ON, Nigel's parted lots of those Chryslers out, I'm sure he has what you need.

Welcome with your ambitious project.
As a bodyman, I don't envy you filling and blocking those qtrs.
I parted out several, and saved every piece of chrome. No hood strip, but lots of every other parts for 68 newport, new yorker.
We will have to pm, being west coast it rules out big stuff like my qtr.
