This is my Mopar:
My 1969 Chrysler Newport Custom 2dr HT was purchased new by my
grandparents in November of 1968. I actually watched as it was unloaded
off the transport truck and driven into the service bay at Linnes Weiler
Chrysler Plymouth in Albert Lea, MN. They traded it 1984 for a new
Reliant wagon. I came across the car in November 1991 and bought it. The
original window sticker and original registration document bearing my
grandfather's signature were still in the glove box. The build sheet was
still under the back seat and in perfect condition. I also was able to
locate the original issue license plate, it is displayed on the front of
the car. I drove it home on May 16, 1992. The paint is original as is
the vinyl top. I did have to have the front seat reupholstered. The
upholstery shop found NOS material in Ohio, just enough to complete the
job. The original 383 2bb engine was rebuilt to factory spec in 2001. I
personalized it with American Racing's Tailgunner wheels as well as dual
exhaust (Flowmaster Mufflers) also in 2001.
