Up for auction is my 1965 Chrysler Newport coupe. A 95% all-original car! Unrestored cars are all the rage right now, so here's your chance to own one. Below are the descriptions for all areas - feel free to ask questions. BODY: super straight, with original white paint, which is very thin on roof, hood, & trunk lid. Some areas have tiny pinprick size dots of surface rust. The one rusty area that was on driver's side floor has been cut out and replaced with new sheetmetal. Then the floor was covered on POR-15. (see photo) The inside of trunk was wire brushed, sanded & painted with textured gray trunk paint, over Rustoleum primer. New carpet & padding were added. No rust in any of the rocker panels! Hood opens & closes perfectly, as does the trunk. Both doors are solid, no sagging hinges. All stainless steel trim is near perfect; the only dent being on the rocker below driver's door. The only piece that is missing on this car is a 2" long rocker trim, that is actually on the right side fender skirt. Chrome bumpers are straight & not dented, but front bumper has a one area of flaked-off chrome, which shows as surface rust. Grill is immaculate! Glass is all good, with one small chip in windshield. Window mechanisms need lubed on 2 rear windows. INTERIOR: Original white vinyl, with rips/seam splits on front seat (thus the cover) Back seat has a few split seams too. Headliner is brand new, as is package shelf. Black vinyl dash is near perfect also. New carpet & padding.. Door panels look pretty good, but have wear marks on driver's door. All electrical stuff works great, except radio: light comes on, but no Beatles tunes. Map light needs new bulb. Inside the glove compartment on door, is the original service tag, with the date 6-11-65 written in delivery box! Very cool ! Wipers, lights, gas gauge, horn, turn signals - including indicator lights on front fenders - all work fine. ENGINE: Runs strong & perfect! Has new alternator, belt, new valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, rebuilt 2bbl carb, voltage regulator, new fuel pump, and air filter. Also new master cylinder. This car runs super - when you step on the gas, it jumps! (for being 4,150 lbs!) DRIVE TRAIN: 3-spd 727 auto tranny shifts perfectly, and I had a new idler arm installed. Tires are one year old radials with only 5,000 miles on them. This is a really great old car, that could use some cosmetics to be really nice, or just drive it as it is. but be sure your garage is long enough: bumper to bumper measures 18'-2" !! They don't build them like this anymore.... Since the title is in my name, I went ahead & got current tags that are good for 2 years - if the buyer lives in Oregon. Any questions, please email or call. My home phone (eves/weekends) is 541-726-8467. Weekdays is 541-285-7859 Shipping: Please get your own quotes, as there are far too many companies with lots of prices. I will work with the driver on this end, and be available to load it at the pick-up area 3 miles from my house. Good luck bidding!
