Car description |
---|
We have this rare Newport Convertible to offer this week. We just took it in on traded. This car has not been driven much since 2014. It's finished in a burgundy with a white top and black vinyl interior. The spring of 1968 brought the interesting $126 "Sports Grain" option. This was a unique form of wagon-type simulated-wood side paneling. They only built 175 Newport convertibles with this option. Quite the rare car.
The exterior is decent/fair condition. The paint is bright but a hazy and faded in some areas. The car has been repainted in the past. It started life as a gold car. It has some scratches and paint chips. The rear quarters have some rust and rot. It has some rust as pictured. There are no dents. The trunk jam and firewall has some rot as shown. The chrome is pretty good for a driver but has some ptting. The undercarriage looks pretty good but does have some areas of rot. We did our best to show you what we could see. The missing pece of trim on the left side is in the trunk.
The convertible top is worn and has some tears as shown. Top works great.
The interior is in ok condtion. The rear seat has some tears. The front seat is worn and has some tears. The door panels look pretty good. The dash pad has cracks.Some seat covers would work miracles.
This Chrysler has power brakes and steering. A pretty basic Newport.
The tires are old and need replacing.
The heater works. The radio and dash lights don't.
It's equipped with the powerful 383 V8. This car runs and drivers pretty good. It shifts as it should. The brakes feel ok. The exhaust is loud. Seems to be leaking near the front. The car shows 166K miles but the title reads 191K miles. I believe that he bought the car with 91K miles and an error was made. This car is a 1968 that has been sitting for a while. This car should be serviced before being driven. If you are not local bring a trailor. This car needs total restoration. Bring a trailor and take home this rare Chrysler convertible
This Newport is one rare find. I hope it goes to someone that will restore it and enjoy it. This car is being offered at No Reserve. Bid to own cause the high bidder gets this Eldorado.

We reserve the right to end the auction early. Disclosures Please Read Important. All vehicles are sold "as-is", with no warranty from the seller, expressed or implied. This item is described and photographed to the best of our ability, but remember we cannot find every flaw. You are bidding on a pre-owned vehicle and you should expect normal wear associated with aging. You must always expect to spend 10% to 15% of the purchase price on minor cosmetics and mechanical items. They are not perfec, they are used and you are saving hundreds if not thousands of dollars over the retail price.
You are entering into a legal and binding contract to purchase this vehicle described above. If you do not intend to purchase this item, do not bid! Bidders must be able to pay in person or have all loans PRE-APPROVED before bidding on these vehicles! Unqualified Bidding, Bid Shielding, Auction Interference, and any form of harassment will be subject to legal prosecution to the fullest extent of the law.
All vehicles are sold as-is, with no warranty, expressed or implied, from the seller. Please have all inspections done prior to bidding. Pre-sale inspections are not only welcome, but are recommended, and are available. Inspection companies are easily found on the web as well as within eBay.
These vehicles are USED vehicles and are not new. Please expect a certain amount of wear, use, and flaws, as is standard on ANY used car. All used cars including this one may have dings, nicks, chips, scratches and any other marks that are associated with use consistent with age and mileage of the vehicle. Obviously, a car that is 10 years old will show more wear and have more flaws than one that is 2 years old. Most cars are sold at wholesale prices, many way below book prices. Therefore, there is minimum profit (especially on no reserve auctions) at best, and as such we can not afford to warranty the vehicle as if you had purchased it for full list price. We strongly recommend that all buyers purchase the optional extended warranty (available on most, but not all cars). This will help defray the cost of mechanical repairs, if any, in the future.
Remember some of these cars are near a decade old and they may be new to you, but that doesn't change the fact that they are used cars and repairs can be needed at any time regardless of how short a time period you have owned the car. While we try to service any known defects it is still possible for used vehicles to need service or repairs the first days or weeks of ownership. NOT likely, but possible! Since these vehicles are used, please remember that books, extra keys, remote entry keys, CD cartridges, etc..., do not always remain with vehicles throughout their life. We will not be responsible for these minor accessories. These items are all replaceable at any local factory dealer or right here on eBay for a few dollars.
