For Sale: 1961 Chrysler Newport in Tucson, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Classic 1961 Chrysler Newport 2 Dr hdtp,  A rare car you will never see at a car show.  The last year for the Chrysler Forward Look Flight Sweep design of designer Virgil Exner. I've owned the car for 7 years and it has been restored from top to bottom. The interior was restored as well. It runs fantastic on its 361 cu.in. Golden Lion motor with its 265 hp. Motor was gone through and refurbished as needed and required very little in the way of replacement parts. A dual exhaust system was added for extra power. The tranny is a bullet proof 727 with push button controls. The Astrodome dial array is back-lit by bulb free high frequency innovative lighting. It is equipped with power steering and brakes and an AM radio that works as well. All bumpers have been re chromed and stainless polished. Professionally repainted in factory color Cinnamon Poly and Alaskan white hdtp. The original wheel covers are kept over Coker wide Whitehall radials. A new windsheil was also installed. There is no rust anywhere and has always been garaged by me and the previous owner. I have always run this car on ethanol free fuel. She runs extremely fast with great Torque. These classics need to be driven at least once weekly and more if possible to avoid shrinkage of the seals around tranny, oil pan and rear end. Sadly my health issues and age have now precluded me from driving her often enough, I need to find a new loving home for her. I have included many pictures and wrote your inquiries.
