Vehicle Description
The Chrysler Newport is very iconic name in the Chrysler lineup and
one that ran for over 40 years. Coupes, convertibles, wagons and
sedans were all part of the long generation of the Newport. In 1968
the 4th generation of Newports finished its cycle and Chrysler
offered a special option for the year, Sports Grain upgrade. Only
965 coupes were produced with this very stylish feature and were
meant to mimic the older Town & Country woodies that were so
popular. Many of these were used and discarded or rotted away as
they were a affordable car when new, but used as family cars and
very few ever survived and remain in this kind of condition.
This specific Newport Sports Grain coupe is in remarkable condition
with extremely low miles that are believed to be accurate and
documented thru previous owners log book and title and
registrations. Car was produced on June 21st of 1968 and was sold
by Bricker Motor Sales in Croswell Michigan. Car was then traded
back in and sold to the second owner in Port Huron Michigan where
it remained in his custody up until 2013. The car was stored
properly, maintained extremely well and used as a show car. Vehicle
is clean throughout the inside and outside. The paint is clean and
crisp, moldings are straight and the wood grain looks like new. The
fit and finish of the car is quite impressive and would be hard to
duplicate this vehicle. Interior is all original with gauges
functioning properly, and all lights working. Vehicle was optioned
with the big 383 V8, body belt moldings, remote trunk release,
Music Master AM radio, tinted windshield and fender mounted turn
signal indicators. Very cool and functional roof rack was added at
some point and we added the touch of the surf board to complete the
beach cruiser look.
We are excited to offer this very unique classic vehicle that
deserves to be put into someone's collection as these cars will
only have an upside as the years go by. Low production cars with
stellar condition and factory original are very difficult to
obtain. Vehicle comes with spare tire, log book, several documents
laminated by 2nd owner, owner's manuals, registrations, and letter
from Pentastar regional association. New white wall tires, battery
and fluids were recently done.
