72 Chrysler Newport - should I do it? (NGC)

[leafman60]

Congratulations, John.  I'm glad you did it.  You will be the coolest dude on the autobahn.

Be prepared for a LOT of attention WHEREVER you go.

You'll have a great time enjoying that thing.

  Driving old cars is like riding a old Harley with a foot clutch and tank shift....Poor handling, poor brakes but can be enjoyable on a sunny day  for a leisure ride...

My dad had a �68 Town and Country with the 383. The engine was fantastic, but the body panels lost alignment within the first two years. My high school buddy�s �73 Challenger was the same. Engines and engine parts are expensive, too...at least compared to Chevy Smallblocks. On the other hand, I�d love to have a �70 Plymouth Fury coupe like my grandfather drove...

Thanks for the advice and the good wishes on my new toy :-)
And it's nice to hear about the fond memories some of you guys have about these cars.
To be honest, the thing is a bit intimidating! It's just so different than anything I've ever owned and of course it's huge! I'm hoping I'll enjoy it but at the same time it's making me nervous :-)

@Cam3512. It's that a serious offer? Genuine "US" furry dice would be cool :-)
I'll PM you.

This is what a Chrysler looked like in my day:

Use to have a school chum in the late 60s with parents that always drove totally optioned out (for the day) Chrysler Imperials except that they always had the cars equipped with a three speed on the tree. Each to their own.

They are Imperials not Chrysler Imperials.
Just sayin.

Another classic "WHALE"

The Bluesmobile - 1974 Dodge Monaco Police car!!

True, but only from 1955 to 1975. All the rest were Chrysler’s...

If I had only had the garage space. This Buick had the lightweight 300CI 4 barrel. Very good condition inside and out. Ran just fine. It belonged to the late Kansas rep, David Kasitz. It sold at his estate auction for under $,4000!
