Mopar Newport Rat Rod by DRIVEN.co Retro Cool VIDEO

Price: - Item location: Stanton, California, United States

Description:

1962 Chrysler Newport

Cool ancient Mopar iron from the 60's has been dropped, shaved and sports 22 inch rims.

Still wearing her original California Black Plates, she's low and mean and ready to cruise. Check the Pushbutton transmission and the ultra cool Aerodome day glo instrument cluster.

This is a great old school hot rod that belongs at your cruise nights and show and shines this spring. There is still a lot of room for your touches and it is pretty unlikely your going to run into anyone with a copy of your ride.

Rarity

The vast majority of these big mopars are long gone. Many were driven hard and adding for the rust belt, relatively few remain in the wild today. Our research shows few cars of this caliber are available in this price range. Certainly, some awesome cars can be had for $30k and way, way up.

Inspection

Please come inspect this great Newport before the listing ends. We are happy to meet you and show her off. The details contained in this listing are based on our review of the vehicle and any errors or omissions are unintentional. Please keep in mind that this is a 56 year old used car. It will need periodic attention just as any classic automobile does. It is not a new car and will not be fresh and perfect like that new soul sucking Camry your Aunt Betty drives. If that's what you are after, this is not your era, nor your car so please move on to something new. Like a Prius.
