1964 Chrysler Newport Base 5.9L

 This is an awesome 1964 Chrysler Newport with a 361 cu. in. motor and automatic transmission.   Transmission is push button on dash. Car has only 53. 00 miles! This car runs and drives great! It has power steering and steers so easily you can drive it with one finger. Car rides very smoothly and feels like you are floating on a cloud while going down the road. I bought the car a few years ago from my uncle and I had planned to restore it for my daughter but she is more interested in a pickup we are working on and I don't have the time and money for both. The paint is original. as far as I know. The body is straight and in excellent shape except for some rust in the wheel wells and some scratches along passenger side where my uncle hit a mailbox and messed it up a bit. Trim piece on passenger door is dinged up. There are also a couple minor spots where paint is chipped and a bit of surface rust has started. The scratches on passenger side weren't fixed the best and the touch-up paint is coming off and the doors need to be sanded down and painted better.   Front fender emblems are missing. I have the letters for the trunk except it is missing the s and one r.   The interior is 50 years old and shows it.   Front seat is splitting at the seams and looks much better with a seat cover. Top of rear seat is brittle and cracking. Headliner has a couple holes from mice getting into it. I would feel confident driving this car anywhere. It could use new tires. I haven't replaced them because I was planning on buying new rims and tires together.   It still has 14" tires and I was going to upgrade to 15" or 16" but have not had the chance. I have 3 original hub caps for the 14" and also 3 hubcaps for 15" that I will throw in with it.   Car has new brakes. battery. alternator and voltage regulator. It rides smoother than many new cars. It will cruise at 70 mph all day with no problem. It does not have a/c- another reason my daughter isn't as interested in it. The driver side rear door armrest is broken. The driver's side rear window regulator broke so I have the window up and took the handcrank off. It looks like it could be welded back together and probably could even be fixed with j. b. weld. Trunk is in good shape with only a couple rust holes. Fuel lines eventually need replaced. They were broken so I have fixed it with rubber fuel line and just haven't gotten around to putting metal line back in yet. Right taillight bezel is broken. Dash pad has warped in the heat on right side. I have tried to list all damage I can think of. I don't want anyone to get it and have any surprises.   If you have any questions. please email me here or call me at 641-208-6955.   I think that this is really a great car and with a little tlc it could really be awesome again. It gets lots of attention as it is already. I would love to have the time and money to put fresh paint on it and new wheels and tires. The motor has a lot of power. Would make an awesome sleeper with different intake and a 4 barrel carburetor.
