For Sale: 1961 Chrysler Newport in Mesa, Arizona

This 1961 Chrysler Newport is a slice of automotive magic, a full-size cruiser with jet-age styling and a spirit that still soars all these years later. That dark, mean streak of a paint job wraps the car's curves like a shadow, while the slick pinstripe detailing plays up the aggressive stance. Parked on 17-inch American Racing wheels wrapped in beefy Toyo radials-235/45 up front and 275/40 in the back-this machine means business.

Crack open the door, and the interior hits you with that red vinyl that's just as fiery as the Newport's attitude. The bucket seats invite you to take control; while the push-button shifter sits waiting, ready to throw down. Everything inside is sharp and clean, like it's fresh from the factory line, but with a style that screams classic cool.

Now, let's talk about the beast under the hood. This Newport is packing a 361 V8 tied to a 3-speed Torqueflite that's all about that push-button action. Power steering makes handling a breeze, letting this big block glide through the streets like it owns them. The ride's kept smooth with an independent front suspension and a solid rear axle, rigged with leaf springs to keep it all tight on the tarmac.
