Hello I am selling a few of my classics to help relieve some debt I have incurred from my moms long term Alzheimers care. I found this Newport in Las Vegas 4 years ago and did a partial restoration while I was shooting a reality tv show. The car has been In several music videos, Wrangler jeans commercials and movies. it is a really cool car and lots of bang for the buck. It has a low mile 440 RV motor that I pulled from a winnebago with 42k miles on it. The original motor spun a main bearing when it overheated in the 110 degree sun during a music video shoot that I rented it out for. The transmission was replaced with a rebuilt one 3 months ago when I bought t from a friend that decided to put a 4 speed in his 69 roadrunner after having the tranny rebuilt. shifts smooth lots of power sounds like a Charger or Challenger. The interior is custom, power leather seats up front and a custom Mercedes leather seat in the back. the plastic on the arm rest in back has broke and it is unattached now. The top goes up and down without a hitch. The top is 4 years old now and I bought the expensive glass window version. the problem is it is so heavy the top of the glass has pulled away from the top it can be replaced for less than $200 or reglued or 3m taped too , I never have top up unless parked long term. The Coker tires are 4" wide whites cost over $1200 new and have less than 500 miles on them. The paint is a 10 footer, The car was resprayed pearl white metallic 6 months ago after some idiot keyed it. The paint job is a $2000 job not a 10k paint job. doesn't make sense to go super high end paint on a 12-20k valued car. that being said it looks great, gets lots of attention and I have made over 5 k renting it out. I have no time to enjoy it anymore and when cars sit they go to shit as my mechanic grandpa used to say. Time to let it go to a new home . with the crazy Indian summer we are having it needs to have the top down and driven down the highway. If you have questions please ask. if you are looking for a 100 point Hershey car keep looking, if you want a really cool muscle cruiser convertible with a big trunk to take to the beach, thats rust free, starts, runs and drives and turns heads for a very reasonable price this is your car. What other classic big block Mopar convertible can you get for a little over 10k? If it wasn't for my situation and my mommas medical needs id keep it keep making money renting it. Thanks for your time happy bidding. |
