Hello, so glad i found this group! I just bought this 68 Newport and it seems it will need a lot of little things to get it "right".
For starters, i've been in the car hobby for a while, i've owned everything from classic two seat t-birds to a 2019 Corvette convertible, along ewith some Mopars through tghe years including a 55 Plymouth Plaza when i was a kid, two 66 Chargers, 67 Fury III, a 67 Barracuda coupe and a few more. All those are gone and the latest toy is a BIG departure from my Corvettes. I'll post some pictures soon. Its is a white converible with black bucket seat interior and something like 30 options including the Sportsgrain trim on the side.
It has a 383 with A/C and seems to run ok. It currently runs a little rich with an Edelbrock AFB style carb on a stock iron manifold and points ignition; I was planning on putting a Mopar Performance electronic ignition on it.
Car seems to be very original, which is good and bad. Original exhaust has just been replaced. The original top is next to be replaced, along with some interior panel replacement. I will need some help and recommendations when it comes to the suspension. Ive been looking and cannot find a complete front suspension "kit", I need everything.
This forum will be a first for me, i plan on checking out the FAQs and searching around but i did want to come in her and say Hello to all my fellow car nuts.
