1970 Chrysler Newport Convertible – 3-speed manual column shift – Unique
VIN – CE27L0C219440
Current Virginia registration
Color code: X93W
383 cubic inch w/2bl
This fuselage-bodied Chrysler convertible was special ordered at Fairfax Chrysler/Plymouth, Fairfax, Virginia in March of 1970 by the original owner. It is uniquely configured and fully documented. The original owner told me that it was important that he have a car that was both easy to service and versatile. This 1970 383 big block convertible is not for everyone. It requires a strong but sensitive hand to drive well. It’s heavy in confined environments. It was purchased for a rural environment where it runs well on open highways. The congestion of San Francisco makes it a chore to drive. Significant repairs will be needed in the future. The odometer shows 34K miles which represents either 134K or 234K miles. In either case although many repairs have been made, more will be needed. For example, there is significant rust in the rear quarter panels and trunk floor. All said this vehicle is a rush due to its engaged driving style, amazing color scheme and set of options.
