INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE VERY WELCOME. I AM FAMILIAR WITH US REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPORTING A VEHICLE. THIS IS AN EXCEPTIONALLY SOUND ORIGINAL CAR. THESE PHOTOS ARE A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD. EVERYTHING ABOUT THE CAR IS AS PICTURED EXCEPT THAT THE HUBCAPS HAVE BEEN REMOVED AND USED ON ANOTHER MOPAR. A SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL ARE INCLUDED IN THE TRUNK ALONG WITH A BUMPER JACK TRUNK FLOOR SEEMS REALLY SOLID. THIS 1961 CHRYSLER NEWPORT FOUR-DOOR SEDAN SPENT 34 YEARS IN DEAD INDOOR STORAGE. THE 361 2V CHRYSLER ENGINE WAS RUNNING IN 2011 AND SOUNDED GOOD. THERE WERE NO KNOCKS OR OTHER OMINOUS SOUNDS EXCEPT THAT OF THE STARTER MOTOR WHICH WOULD NOT DISENGAGE. NO ADDITIONAL ATTEMPTS TO START ENGINE HAVE BEEN MADE. ENGINE TURNS FREELY WHEN A RACHET AND SOCKET ARE ATTACHED TO THE HARMONIC BALANCER. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR A/C. THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS CONTROLLED BY A LEVER ON THE FLOOR. THIS IS NOT A CONVERSION OF A PUSHBUTTON AUTOMATIC CAR. CHRYSLER BUILT IT THIS WAY WITH THREE ON THE FLOOR AND MINIMAL OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT! 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 MAY BE IN ORDER. 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, AN EASTERN SUBURB OF SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA, BY APPOINTMENT. CALL 814-512-0083. THANKS FOR VIEWING THIS LISTING.
