Is this Newport still rolling on it's original tires? Those double whitewalls were only used in 70-71, and don't know of anyone who repros them . . .
Odd . . . this car must have been off the road for years. Can't imagine anyone (without a death wish) trying to actually drive on tires that old.
I contacted the dealer, they have a deposit on the car, for what its worth.
I wonder about the mileage. Could it be a genuine 15K mile car, and if so, how come? The original cross&ply tires sure speak for it.
It needs bucket seats, a new set of tires, and a full tank of gas. - Nice Newport!
A car like that deserves to go back to stock IMO. If I owned that car, that is what I would do and no one would get it from me if I owned it and decided to sell it that wanted to modify it no matter what they were willing to pay. That is one thing I am careful of if I consider selling a car overseas, but sometimes I have been unpleasantly surprised too. More than anything I want these cars to go to folks that cherish and preserve what they were and not make them into some hot rod mess of aftermarket parts.
I deeply regret not selling this car to Polara71 Dave if I had known more about him many years ago than I do now when I sold this car. I thought I had vetted the new owner well, but he ended up changing the color after he had it for awhile. I was just furious when I heard about it and it is the worst regret in selling a car that I have experienced.
My 71 300 in the background (also GJ4 green) will stay with me until I am gone, that is for sure after that huge mistake.

"Converted to dual quad setup using factory parts"
When did Mopar ever build a 383 with two fours? Factory parts? I don't mean the cross-ram from the early '60s.
I do agree with the comments about all the extras on the motor, yet still a 2.76 rear.
Otherwise, this is a very nice car.
I'd move it closer to the firewall , about a foot.
