1977 Chrysler Newport review from North America
"Land Yacht!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Heavy wear on the driver's seat.
The drive shaft broke at the joint 2 weeks ago.
Starter died 3 days ago.
General comments?
Though I've mentioned a few of the recent problems, this car rides like a dream.
Except for the driver's seat, the rest of the interior is mint.
Like another contributor to this site, I have an 8-track as well-though it does not work.
Could sleep in the backseat, and I'm 6'2"!
Body work in progress.
