Vehicle Description
1956 Chrysler Newport 2-Door Hardtop
This is an awesome car found in a barn find along with some other
incredible cars that will be coming soon. It is a rare model
equipped with a Poly engine. The Polyspheric or Poly engines were
V8 engines produced by Chrysler from 1955 to 1958 as lower-cost
alternatives to the Hemi engines. These engines were based on the
Hemi engines, using the same blocks and crankshaft parts, but
completely different cylinder heads, pushrods, exhaust manifolds
and pistons.
It is powered by a 354ci "poly" engine and a flawlessly operating
Torq Flite transmission. The car was properly serviced once brought
back to the shop and starts, runs and drives flawlessly. The engine
bay is in unbelievable condition looking like it had just been
detailed a few days ago but is original. She is equipped with the
original dual exhaust that is clean as well.
The exterior is also in great condition with original paint
everywhere but the trunk lid which was done years ago and matches
the rest. All of the stainless steel is in excellent shape. The
chrome has some pitting from sitting but is in nice condition with
no dings or gouges. It is prime for being redone and we even
already have some of the new pieces to replace. The car sits on
brand new 20? US Mags and high performance Toyo tires that look
phenomenal on the car. There is plenty of stopping power with the
power assist brakes but the front will be converted to discs
shortly. All trim pieces are there and still intact as well as
original glass, lights and signals.
The interior is in very good condition and equipped with a full
gauge package the operates just as it should. All of the dash is
there looking good and the original radio is still intact. The
seats are nice with the exception of some small stitching on the
passenger seat and the headliner/carpet are like new.
This is your chance to own a rare piece of Detroit iron in
exceptional shape for being a survivor.
Fully restored these vehicles go for almost $60,000.00 but this one
is being offered at $34,900.00!
This car is located and being represented for a collector in the
Seattle, Washington area.
