1967 Chrysler Newport One Owner Solid Dry Western Survivor 383 Barn Find Patina on 2040-cars

For sale, 1967 Chrylser Newport from the dry high desert. Just purchased from the original owner with docs including ownercard, warranty and original sales order from Wilson Motors in Butte, MT with a purchase price of $4,141 and all maintenance records. Title is the original issued in 1967. Found the original build sheets (2) under back seat in readable condition. Owner was a fussy engineer and car was mechanically very well maintained. Exterior weathered from outside storage and now it's wearing some great patina. Super solid foundation for a restoration or drive as for great entry level muscle classic - you won't find any better in this price range.  I'll do my best to describe this neat time capsule find below:

Exterior: Paint is original and weathered as shown. No cancer or rot, only minor surface rust. There is no salt used on the roads here in the land of the prickly pear cactus and sagebrush, and we only get 10 inches of total precipitation per year. Basically, every where there was a paint chip low on the car there is now surface rust spots. I've done some bodywork, and when you sand it for repaint, if you sprayed some neutralizer on it you'd be good to go. There's a lot of small specks but only a couple of noticeable spots, one above skirt on each side and one area on trunk deck.(shown) I had the car on a hoist, and there is no rot underneath and I don't see any areas of concern whatsoever - and I know where to look. We just don't see major rust issues here. The skirts were repainted as the originals were lost and a set of maroon ones were sourced and subsequently repainted. Trunk floor has only minor surface rust as shown. Glass is good except windshield, which is cracked as shown. Bumpers are dull and need rechromed. Exterior brightwork is good, only pitting I can see is on tail light bezels. There is a crease on the right front fender and door as shown, and the front fender chrome there is dinged.

Interior: All original. Headliner good, no major issues with door panels or carpet. Seats have splits as shown, with top of rear seat pretty baked. Dash has a few small cracks as shown. Driver armrest has a tear, and minor pitting on interior handles. Seat upholstery is inexpensive for these cars and that alone would bring the car right up to cruise night status. Everything on this car seems to work except radio, right down to all the little inside lights and trunk light. No rodent damage or smells. I've been driving it and even as is it gets compliments.

Mechanical: Here's the great part - mechanically she's up to snuff. Very well maintained, and 10 years ago the original owner took the car to the local Dodge dealership and had everything done the car needed - $2,000 in receipts. It's only had maintenance miles since then. Brakes (including master cylinder) were done, carb, radiator, front timing chain and seal, shocks, alternator, regulator, etc etc. Jump in and go, it's ready. Tires show good tread and no weather cracking but not sure how old they are. Nice throaty dual exhaust with new tail pipes. Original 383 provides grunt and moves this big car with muscle. Trans shifts great. No weird noises whatsoever. Starts, runs, stops, and drives out smooth. Underhood is neat and clean as can be. A few small leaks, nothing major. The fuel was never soured, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car as is. Driver window is a bit sloppy, thinking it needs felt runners replaced. Passenger window works great, rear windows are sticky and I didn't force them. This car is original and complete right down to the original jack and hardware still in the trunk.

Pricing/Misc: I got a good deal on this car and you will too. I see this era C body bringing stupid money when they are clean, especially from rust belt bidders. I guess it  must cost much more to fix  cancer and rot than to pay a few hundred bucks to ship a dry rig from the high desert. This car is a solid driveable project car, and it's priced accordingly. It seems that most of these cars for sale are either thrashed to death, or priced in the stratosphere. Reserve price is WAY under $2k for quick sale - great price on a classic 60's big block 2 door hardtop that you can jump in and drive today. Title is clear and open, signed off by original owner and ready to fill your name in as purchaser. There is a lien showing from 1967, but it's been long since paid and I called the DMV and they show no liens and I have a DMV form stating that. GOOD LUCK! Keep in mind that with all cars, THEY LOOK BETTER IN PICTURES THAN IN PERSON.  Keywords Mopar Chrysler 300 New Yorker Dodge Plymouth Mopar Polara Belvedere Roadrunner Charger Coronet Sport Fury Barracuda Challenger 440 400 426 340 Desoto Hemi ram wedge B RB magnum Satellite GTX
