Thats a cool car, reminds me of mine only mine's a Ford. My uncle use to have all kinds of these old Chryslers when I was growing up, always did like them.

Cool new ride! I love how their is no door pillar between the front and rear doors. Just one big open space. Looks to be in A+ shape too!

That's awesome, my brother has one, bought if for under a grand with 80K or so miles on it and a 383. And it's rock solid. It's primer black now but he has it slammed on 20's...looks super cool.

i joined a c-body mopar forum and found out some interesting stuff on this car, its actually a 67 with a 68 front end, but the title says 68. i googled both years and i actually like the 68 front end more than the 67 and 67 tails lights are cooler than the 68's. also in 67 side markers werent mandatory and on my front bumper it has side markers that were mandatory in 68, i wonder what the deal is...

My brother is actually looking to sell his 20's. I think he said $300 + shipping but can double check & get pics if you're interested. They're chrome and in really nice shape.

That's a sweet looking car. My mom had a Newport. I remember taking trips in it to Florida from Pa back in the early to mid 70's. I also remember my parents flying down the highway in it. It was quick.
