1967 Chrysler Newport Custom review from North America

"A part of me"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Many routine maintenance repairs... tune ups and stuff.

Many age related problems too... leaky seals (not too bad though surprisingly), some metal fatigue.

Amp meter's wiring too light for the "newer" alternator style introduced by Chrysler in the 60s. Replaced with voltmeter.

Not designed with radiator shroud, therefore might overheat on a hot day while idling still.

Master cylinder and vacuum booster replaced.

General comments?

Can't beat the comfort in the ride. It just glides along on the highway or in the city.

The 383 gives plenty of power in the mountains and holds solid on the interstates.

I have driven this car for almost 5 years now as my everyday car. It has made about 14 trips between New Jersey and Tennessee, and will run 75-80 mph like the rest of em.

It is a beautiful car inside and out. It is surprising how well the paint has held up. The interior is still its combination of pretty blues and hardly no sign of age.

I trust this car. I'll admit that there are a few things that I would like to get done (if I had the money). Other than that it is VERY easy to maintain and work on! PLENTY of room under the hood.
