Description

Up for auction is a gorgeous 1961 Chrysler Newport 2 door with an on-the-floor manual transmission...very rare in a 2 door. She has been restored with fine attention to detail. She has been re-painted in her original Mardi Gras Red on a rust free body and is gorgeous. The dash pad is free of cracks with its chrome looking brand new and all the gauges working, including the electroluminescent gauge cluster...which is a thing of beauty to see at night. Fronnt and rear bumpers have been re-chromed and all the stainless has been polished.
I have a long list of details about this beauty to be added to the auction shortly, as well additional pictures.
These 2 DR Newports are almost identical in outside appearance to the 300G. So if you always liked the look of a 300G but didn't want to pay the high price, then here is your chance...don't let this one get away.
