INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE VERY WELCOME. EXCEPTIONALLY SOUND ORIGINAL CAR. THIS 1961 CHRYSLER NEWPORT FOUR-DOOR SEDAN IS AS IT WAS FOUND AFTER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 34 YEARS IN DEAD STORAGE IN A BUILDING WHICH HAD WOODEN FLOORS. THE 361 2V V-8 ENGINE TURNS FREELY WHEN A SOCKET AND RATCHET EXTENSION ARE ATTACHED TO THE HARMONIC BALANCER.. NO ATTEMPT TO START ENGINE HAS BEEN MADE. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR A/C. UNIBODY HULL IS SOLID WITH AN AREA OF RUST-THRU AROUND HEADLIGHT AREA OF RIGHT FENDER. PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS. SEATS AND DOOR PANELS ARE VERY PRESENTABLE AND WILL CLEAN UP NICELY. A NEW HEADLINER WILL BE NEEDED. FRONT BUMPER SHOULD BE RECHROMED. REAR BUMPER IS GOOD. TIRES HOLD AIR OK BUT ARE VERY OLD. THE BRAKE PEDAL CURRENTLY SINKS TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR ROLLS AND STEERS, THERE SHOULD BE NO MAJOR ISSUE LOADING THIS CAREFULLY ONTO A TRAILER OR ROLL-BACK USING THE PARKING BRAKE AND MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO CONTROL THIS MOVEMENT. CLEAN CURRENT MINESOTA TITLE IN MY NAME. THIS TITLE SHOWS THE ACCUMULATED MILEAGE AS "NOT REQUIRED". CURRENT ODOMETER READING IS SOMEWHERE UNDER 50,000 MILES AND IS BELIEVED TO BE ACTUAL. THE CHRYLSER MAY BE SEEN IN OAKDALE, MINNESOTA BY APPOINTMENT. CALL 814-512-0083. OAKDALE IS A SUBURB OF SAINT PAUL.On Mar-23-14 at 05:17:29 PDT, seller added the following information: I MISSED A PHONE CALL FROM A MAN NAMED GERRY OR JERRY ON SATURDAY MARCH 22 CONCERNING THE CHRYSLER. HE LEFT A VOICEMAIL MESSAGE BUT, AT LEAST AS IT WAS RECEIVED ON MY CELL PHONE, IT WAS GARBLED. THOUGH I LISTENED TO THE MESSAGE SEVERAL TIMES, THE PHONE NUMBER JUST COULD NOT BE UNDERSTOOD. IF HE HAPPENS TO CHECK THE LISTING TODAY, I HOPE HE LEAVES HIS CONTACT NUMBER BY USING THE "ASK A QUESTION" FEATURE ON THIS LISTING. I WILL CALL HIM BY THIS EVENING FOR SURE. BOB K
