After almost a year I finally updated this page with a couple of new pics of the car, I also moved the page from new yorker to newport where it should be. There was no newport catagory when i created the page...anyway the new pic of the car was only taken a few days ago but the lighing is bad so i'll take a few new ones soon.
here's another of the dash too.
This is my 67 chrysler newport custom 4 door hardtop, it's a little rough around the edges but i love it..I've had it for a while, working on it when money permited and only recently finally got it on the road... most of these pics are a few years old and the car has been repainted to "gold tan metallic" since then. i'll have some newer pics up soon....the car was orginally a 383 2 barrel but now is a 350hp version of the 440 from another 67 chrysler..It's been rebuilt with a new holley street avenger carb, slightly higher lift/duration cam and dual exhaust to replace the old 383's single. I plan on eventually replacing the intake and maybe getting a set of 1 7/8 headers...
the engine before:
and after, it still has the old 4160 carb on it here (i don't know what the white thing is in the pic)
when we first got 'er
here's a pic of the dash with that cool huge steering wheel, I added one of those 3 gauge cluster things a while ago, in the pic they are cheap hastings white face gauges, that i didn't like that much, since the pic they were replaced with cool looking black face with chrome trim vdo gauges
