1966 Chrysler Newport

Chrysler Newport (1966)
for sale

Price: US $14,500.00

Description:


1966 was one of the best years for the design team at the Chrysler Corporation. With clean lines and a muscular stance, this Newport is a great combination of luxury and big block performance. The 383 cubic inch V8 runs beautifully, and with new wheels and tires this Chrysler cruises at highway speeds effortlessly. This is the last year for the art deco instrument cluster, including the very distinctive humped dashboard that houses a gun-sight speedometer, conjuring America's obsession with space exploration and flight during the 1960's. This particular Newport is in really nice shape and is ready to drive and enjoy. The lights, radio, windows, wipers, etc. all work as they should. The interior is in extremely nice shape and very comfortable. The guys at Chrysler in the '60's really hit the nail on the head with driver positioning, because from my first drive of this Newport I felt as if I'd owned it for years. I'm over 6 ft tall and it is as roomy and luxurious as any car I've owned. This Chrysler is a great chance to get a big block Mopar cruiser with a nice mix of aggressive looks and art deco luxury in a beautiful color combination. If you are interested, I like doing trades too, so maybe that'll work.

I have owned and collected classic cars for the last 26 years, beginning with the 1969 Dodge Charger I bought when I was sixteen, and which I still own today. I still own my 2nd car as well, a 1983 Pontiac Trans Am, which I drove from my senior year in high school through to my second year of graduate school in the department of English at the University of Central Florida in Winter Park, FL. So my passion for classic cars -- and especially Mopars -- has been a lifelong pursuit and is about the most fun I can imagine having. I am an Oxford-educated motorhead that's been car crazy since bell bottoms were in style the first time around. And because I love to find, own, drive and collect all kinds of classic cars, there comes a point when I have to sell a few of them to keep my collection manageable, or else they all don't get exercised like they should. This is one of those times. My collection has expanded to about 16 cars, when really, if I am totally honest with myself, I should get it down to about twelve so that I have the time to drive and enjoy them all. I am a firm believer that cars should and need to be driven. And when I can't drive them all enough, I go through the process of letting a few of them go on to new owners that will hopefully get out there and drive them more than I have time to. That is why I am offering the 1966 Newport two-door for sale at this time. Please contact me with any questions, I hope to hear from you.
