1979 Chrysler Newport

  • 318 V8
  • Automatic 727 Torqueflight
  • 4 Door
  • 66,000 miles


Many thanks to Chris at The Garage Orlando for fixing the hand-crank windows and their regulators, hideaway wipers, and dash in our 66,000-mile 1979 Chrysler Newport Limited Edition! 

Many of the parts needed have not been available new for years, and the limited run of this body style (the R platform) from 1979-1981 has assured that VERY few used parts and NOS parts are available anywhere, so he had to rely on sparse aftermarket support and, especially, his own ingenuity to fabricate/design/weld what was needed.  This is one of the few 1979 Mopars of any type with a fully operational dash, thanks to Chris!  And yes, it has full analog gauges, and they work and are accurate.

Powered by a 318-cubic-inch V8, it has plenty of torque around town and runs and shifts as well as it did 41 years ago.​
