Now up for sale in our Houston showroom is this 1968 Chrysler
Newport Custom. The Newport was a name used by Chrysler for both a
hardtop body designation and also for its lowest priced model

1940 show car of which five vehicles were produced. This one is a
true survivor car that has only 31000 original miles! Featuring a
383 CID V8 that is the original to the car and is paired to the
original 3-speed automatic transmission. The transmission was
professionally rebuilt less than 1 year & 1000 miles ago. The green

brand new with plenty of miles left on them. The drum brakes on all
four corners have been recently rebuilt & serviced. The car has a
new radiator in it to keep this car cool on the road. Some of the
