Vehicle Description
There's just something about a classic Mopar that makes you pay
attention, especially with this 1968 Chrysler Newport. It's not
just the big V8 or the cool hardtop sedan styling. Instead, this
one gets you with its details that makes this both premium and
aggressive. And it's all available right now for a value price.
The Meadow Green Metallic color on this car represents it
perfectly. After all, it's the kind of green you expect on a '60s
machine. Plus, Chrysler was the premium side of Mopar, and so the
clearcoat gloss of a more recent respray gives it a nice look in
the sunshine. But Chrysler products like this also appeared in
plenty of TV shows and movies as the enforcer's car because of the
imposing stance the designers built into the sheetmetal. You see it
in the extra wide grille that has an intimidating point and
immediately announces this is a full-sized machine. The extensions
on the fenders look like they just want to reach out and grab you
with both arms. And the black wheels with dog dish hub caps are
pure police interceptor style. But aggression was also nicely mixed
with flair. This has a terrific style line with a defined crease in
the sheetmetal running the full profile. Plus, the fender skirts
mean there's another unbroken line around the rockers. The chrome
bumpers neatly fit into the car's design, and nothing beats the
look of a pillarless hardtop sedan.
Inside, more tones of green add depth to a well-coordinated total
package. You'll absolutely love the look of the classic Chrysler
steering wheel. The dash was one of the best mixes of style and
info around, so we're happy to see it so well preserved. Even the
AM radio is still cranking out tunes! This is a full-sized classic,
and so there's plenty of room for family and friends. That's why
they'll love the comfortable cloth seats. These have a terrific
sense of classic style with the vintage button-top presentation.
And because you'll love taking down all the windows on this
pillarless hardtop, there are even provisions for factory air
conditioning.
Another reason why these Chryslers were TV stars was because
everyone knew they could provide big power. As you look under the
hood of this one, you can tell it upholds that tradition with an
honest-looking engine bay filled with big block muscle. This 383
cubic-inch V8 not only looks original, but it's believed to be
original to the car. And the upgraded X-pipe dual exhaust gives
this mighty motor a nice extra tone. Out on the road, good
maintenance means this strong V8 moves with confident authority.
Plus, with a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and power brakes, this Newport knows how to provide an
easy-cruising experience.
Big, imposing, and awesome-looking, this is a cool Chrysler offered
for a nice price. Call today!!!
