1966 Chrysler Newport 2-Door Hardtop For Sale

383 V8 65K Original Miles Original Paint Documented Survivor 2 Owners

This 1966 Chrysler Newport 2-Door Hardtop is an exceptional survivor with 65,947 indicated original miles, original paint, extensive documentation, and decades of known local Long Island history.

Originally from Massapequa, New York, this Newport has remained remarkably intact over the past six decades. The current owner actually remembers the car being driven by its longtime owner as far back as 1978, giving this Chrysler a level of known history thats increasingly difficult to find.

Rather than being restored, the Newport has been carefully preserved and mechanically maintained. Its original paint, original interior, factory details, and wonderful age- earned character remain intact. As the saying goes, theyre only original once-and thats a major part of this cars appeal.

Under the hood is Chryslers 383ci V8 with a two-barrel carburetor, paired with an automatic transmission. The engine compartment retains an impressively original appearance, right down to the natural patina on components such as the valve covers.

The 383 starts easily, idles smoothly, and the Newport is described as an excellent driver. The current owner drives the car regularly and reports dependable operation through both warm and cold weather.

Since acquiring the Chrysler, considerable mechanical maintenance has been performed to make it a dependable road car.

The Newport is equipped with manual brakes, reflecting its straightforward original configuration, along with several interesting period options and accessories.

Factory air conditioning is present, although the A/C is not currently operational because it needs a condenser.

The interior is one of the highlights of the car. Its sweeping dashboard, distinctive instrument cluster, integrated door handles, bright trim, and spacious seating showcase Chryslers mid-1960s design at its best.

The odometer currently displays 65,947 miles, represented as original. The seats, door panels, dashboard, headliner, and trim all contribute to the remarkable survivor character of the cabin.

Among the period equipment is a rear window defogger, an especially interesting option for the era. The car also features the light group, emergency flashers, door-edge moldings, quarter windows operated by cranks, and period-style retractable seat belts that were added by the original owner.

An aftermarket radio is currently installed and operational, while the original radio and additional original components are included in the trunk. A quartz clock is fitted but is not original to the car.

The exterior is equally compelling because it has never been cosmetically erased by a restoration. The original paint remains in place, along with original trim, door-edge moldings, taillights, wiper arms, and other period details. Its preservation gives the car an authenticity thats difficult to duplicate.

Documentation is another major strength of this Newport.
