Default My funky Newport

Here are a few pictures of my new ride, a 1967 Chrysler Newport I bought it a few weeks back. I took vacation this week to throw it together for the Goodguys Nationals in Kansas City. After a front end rebuild, a new water pump, starter, and some electical glitches it was ready for a lowering job, wheels and tires. I drove it to KC, cruised around all day. Then took it to an event called Greaserama, a rat rod show at an old functioning drive in theatre, Sunday. Got home this evening. The car did great, and for a beater, got a lot of attention. Hope you like it.

Wow, I can't remember the last time I saw a 67 Chrysler, especially with "Knock off" spinners.

Very cool! I've always liked that body style. You don't see many around.

One of my favorite model Chryslers. Mid 60's Mopar products had good bones. The company was leading the industry with 50K, 5 year drive train warranties. This one is a bulletproof model.

And BIG! I'm told, if you do it right, you can land a small plane on the hood.

You snagged a good one Rush. Enjoy the restoration.
