1967 Chrysler Newport 4 door review from North America
"An extremely underrated bargain collectable!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My only chronic problem has been intermittent wiper motor trouble.
I had a lot of trouble with the factory Bendix-Stromberg carburetors, so I retrofitted a comparable Holley model, with no problems since.
General comments?
This car performs amazingly well for a non-garaged, all-original everyday driver. I have no reservations about routinely taking this car on trips over 1,000 miles from home.
