I am selling my ultra rare 1961 Chrysler Newport 2 door coupe. The car received a body up restoration 12 years ago and was driven only a very few miles since. then was garaged with the door down. I recently pulled it out of long storage (3 years) and now it needs to go to someone who will enjoy it and use it as she deserves.

 

This model is almost impossible to find anymore. and the 300 versions are going well over the 40K mark now. These are the identical same car to the 300. just with minor side trim differences and grill. The previous owner I bought it from added the highly desirable 'cross ram' induction set up (dual carbs) to the stock 361 V8. Now the bonus with this car is it now has the 300 bucket seats instead of the factory bench seat.  

The original carbs are long gone & have been replaced with more reliable & efficient Edelbrock 600cfm carbs. But other than that. she retains all the original parts. It has the infamous push button automatic changer on the left side of the dash mated to the indestructible 727 Torque Flight auto. It is complemented with these 17" chrome wheels with 275x55x17 rears with 235x55x17 fronts. These were factory drum brake cars as was the 300. I do not have the original wheels or caps. This is how I bought the car.

As you can see. it has a gorgeous metallic silver paint (originally red?) and laser straight all over. The bumpers still look & shine like new and are just perfect. as is ALL the glass. which this car has a LOT of! The interior was redone in a classic white tuck & roll style with new black carpeting. nbsp;which looks marvelous against the outer paint & chrome wheels.

 

The car runs & drives just fine & is VERY powerful. Because it has the 'ram induction' set up. a performance cam has to be added to the motor to keep up with the added power. She has a brand new full stainless steel exhaust which sounds very menacing. The car has factory power steering & brakes.

 

Now I have just fixed all the electrics on the car. so ALL lights (high/low beam). turn signals (outer & inside). brake lights. dual horns. astrodome dash lights (electro luminescent green!) are all now working!

 

Bottom line here is that you will have one of the rarest & most beautifully designed cars out there. You will NEVER see one at a show or for sale. you will have EVERYBODY ask you what is it? and ultimately. be the proud owner of the last year of Virgil M. Exner's forward look finned Mopars! (57-61) 

 

Now remembering. there were only 1200 '300' coupes made for 1961 and 9405 of these Newport coupes. How many are left today. ?

This car get's WAY more attention than any 57' Chevy or 59' Caddy at a smidgen of the cost.

 

***Please. NO trade offers. and only bid if you have the money first. and don't need to ask the wife or the bank manager. So again. please. nbsp;no day dreamers!

 

God bless & happy bidding!
