1970 Chrysler Newport Convertible
Car History
The Newport was a name used by Chrysler for both a hardtop body
designation and convertible between 1961 and 1981. The Newport
continued the tradition of a large, comfortable luxurious car while
offering a modestly priced product in comparison to the Chrysler
New Yorker and Chrysler Imperial.
The 1970 Chrysler Newport Convertible that we have for sale here at
Adventure Classics was completely redesigned back then and featured
the distinctive "Fuselage Styling" that would become symbolic of
Chrysler's full-size cars until the end of the 1973 model year.
Ours looks great and has a presentation with a lot of
originality.
Engine & Drivetrain
This 1970 Chrysler Newport Convertible was an elegant model the
lineup for 1970 as it was a large and luxurious and has a 383 cubic
inch V8 and a unique body and paint job.
It has what appears to be the original 383 cubic inch V8 with a
single 2 Barrel Carburetor (8 Cylinder) that was rated at 290 Horse
Power back then.
The engine bay looks factory correct with the blue painted block
and matching valve covers, 383 black painted factory twin-snorkel
air cleaner, dual exhaust, and the TorqueFlite A727 three-speed
automatic transmission which was a special version of the standard
heavy-duty which was modified to handle the greater output and
higher RPM potential of the high-performance engine.
It has power steering and brakes as well as air conditioning as
well.
Interior
The interior on ours came with the Vinyl Bench Seat interior in
Blue with headrests on the front seat, a matching blue rear seat,
and retains the factory stock look with its blue full-size dash
with the gauges, switches, and controls, the factory steering
wheel, AM Radio (High Powered), blue carpet and blue vinyl
floormats, blue factory seatbelts, Air Conditioning with Front
Heater, and has the great off-setting White Convertible Top.
The interior all looks very nice and very original.
Exterior
The 1970 Chrysler Newport Convertible is painted in a "Light Blue
Metallic" with the white side stripes, white convertible top, white
383 and GT callouts on the hood, a Turn Signal Light Hood and front
fenders, Tinted Glass All Windows, hidden headlight front end, and
that distinctive "Fuselage Styling" that is so iconic.
It rides on white painted steel wheels with chrome hubcaps and
Mastercraft Avenger GT raised white letter tires to give it a low
sporty look and ride.
The trunk also looks as new with the mats. Full size spare tire and
wheel, and the jack.
