1968 Chrysler Newport Convertible

PRICE REDUCED. This is a show-quality 1968 Chrysler Newport Convertible, one of Mother Mopar’s C-body convertibles for 1968. 1 of only 2847 produced.

You will not find another one nicer, esp when considering all of the combined aspects of a classic luxury car (paint, body, interior, engine, mechanicals, trunk, trim, chrome, etc). If you’re tired of being disappointed by cars that don’t live up to their pics or description, then you owe it to yourself to see this one in person.

A comprehensive 7 minute walkaround video can be seen here:

* Runs and drives excellent in every way.

PAINT AND BODY:
* Absolutely rust-free body, not a single hole, bubble, crack, or weird discolored area anywhere.
* Excellent, straight body panels with excellent gaps. Everything opens and closes like butter.
* Beautiful, professional paint in factory Mopar color (HH1) that is also similar GM’s Butternut Yellow in hue, but with pearl added that really makes it pop in direct sunlight.
* Hood, trunk, and door jambs all properly refinished and look excellent. No rust or rot anywhere.
* All chrome, stainless, emblems, and trim are either new or like new; all glass is excellent.

INTERIOR:
* Excellent dash, door panels, carpet (believed to be original), sunvisors, and upholstery–all of it super clean.
* The Grant polished wood wheel is complemented by a custom mini-console that is finished in the same exact same polished wood, vinyl upholstery, and carpeting as the rest of the car. Yes, the horn works properly.
* Sony CD stereo works great, and sound comes through BOTH the front dash and rear seat speakers.
* AC works and blows cold, however fan seems a little weak.
* All in-dash gauges and lights work as designed, fender turn signals work, as does the factory cruise control.
* Seat belts for 4 passengers are clean and adjust properly.
