Evolve Motors and Chicago Car Club are pleased to present this 1963
Chrysler Newport Convertible! What We Know: We purchased this car
from a gentleman in Montana who had owned it for just over twenty
years, having bought it from the second owner out of Rhode Island.
The gentleman we bought the car from was an enthusiast who owned
only American convertibles; we've actually previously bought a
LeBaron Turbo Convertible from the same guy, which was a very nice
car. As it sits, this car in is excellent condition both
cosmetically and mechanically, having been garage-kept and treated
well. It's big, beautiful, and glides down the road like it's
riding on air. The car will come with the original owner's manual
and service manual, which contains the original delivery
certificate, confirming the car's Rhode-Island-based history. The
Exterior: Oyster White over blue is the correct colorway, and the
car has seen one respray in the late 2000s. Paint presents very,
very well. There are minimal signs of age and the white/blue
colorway suits the car nicely. Paint blemishes are limited to a
couple small chips along the driver's side hood crease, though
those have since been touched up and are hardly visible. Chrome is
excellent throughout, with just one small ding on the lower
driver's side rocker trim. Light blue convertible top is in
excellent shape, with no stains, fading, or damage. Light blue boot
cover has a small tear in the forward driver's corner, where it
meets the corner of the backseat. Wheels are in nice shape, with no
curb rash. Tires have lots of tread left and show no dry rot,
though look to be older units. As you'll notice in the photos, the
"E" from the "CHRYSLER" badge on the front is missing; this part
has since been ordered. The car will be sold with the correct "E",
rather than the sticker shown in the photos. The body is in
excellent shape, with no dings or dents. Overall, this car is
phenomenally well-presented. The Interior: The two-tone blue cabin
is a great place to be; this car is extremely comfortable and the
view of the dash from the driver's seat is just great, as you'll
note from the photos. The interior is in fantastic shape; blemishes
include a small crack at the front corner of the door panel arm
rest on both driver and passenger side, as well as a couple
hairline cracks in the original steering wheel. Both front and rear
seats are free of any tears, scuffs, or fading. Roll up windows
track nicely all around. Powered top is functional, as is the
original radio, all lights and signals, wipers, fan and defrost,
and all gauges (including aftermarket oil pressure, temperature,
and MPG gauges mounted under the dash). Dash is free of cracks or
sun-bleaching. Odometer reads 45,238 miles and is believed to be
accurate based on ownership history and mechanical condition,
though the odometer is 5 digits, so we can only be 99% sure mileage
is actual. Under the Hood / Under the Car: This car retains its
original 5.9L 361cid V8 (#2205712-4, rated at 265hp) and 3-speed
automatic. It feels truly excellent on the road; there are
absolutely no tendencies or noises of concern. The car tracks
straight under both acceleration and braking, steering is light and
direct, brakes are responsive and effective, and the suspension is
extremely supple and forgiving. Underneath, the car is in fantastic
shape. There is no through rust to be found anywhere. Frame rails
and floors are perfectly dry and intact. It's very apparent that
this car has always been garage-kept. Please reach out to Jake at
Evolve Motors / Chicago Car Club at 773-267-2684 with any further
questions or requests.
