Hi list,
I bought this ’61 Newport 2 door hardtop factory stickshift as
a direct result of this list, in October 2004 (mentionned in one of Dan’s
lists of cars for sale), restored it over the winter, and now it’s time
to find it a new home. Gawd, how I wish I could keep it – I really,
really love it – but you know how it goes: too many cars, not enough
space. Before advertising it elsewhere, I thought it would be quite
fitting if I first tried to find it its next home also through this list. So
here’s the pitch; any interested parties, please contact me privately at:

1961 Chrysler Newport 2 door hardtop. Factory 3 speed manual
trans w. 361 V-8. Factory Dubonnet and Alaskan White exterior and
interior. Fully restored, ready to go, drive anywhere, anytime, at any speed.
Manual trans, manual steering, manual brakes; power seat; 7-button radio w.
rear speaker; tinted glass all windows; Flytesweep decklid. Accessory package “B”
and Light package, Undercoating. Those are the factory options as backed
up by build sheet.
This car has been lovingly restored. It’s absolutely
STUNNING, both inside and out. From the fully restored Astradome to the seats
reupholstered with SMS material to the detailed engine compartment, and extra
nice straight body with gorgeous paint job. All mechanicals are 100% and the
car is a pleasure to drive.
Check out pictures taken recently at the Biltmore Estate in
Asheville, NC (yes, drove 200 mile round trip with ZERO problems at 17
mpg ! ) : http://chrysler300club.com/jhstuff/61newport/done/done.html
As I said – it’s ready for a new home, all the
work is DONE and DONE WELL. I’ll gladly talk to anyone about it,
what’s been done, etc. ; please e-mail me or call me at (631) 725-5603
(leave ms. w. your number and best time to call back if you get the machine) if
seriously interested. Price ? an absolute bargain at $32,500 o.b.o to a
really good home. Can delier to Chryslers at Carlisle,
or fly in / drive home.
Thanks,
John Hertog
