TampaRiv Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Hello Gents, it's Rich here in sweltering Tampa. I was up in Columbus for a couple of months working over the summer, and now I'm back in FL, resuming work on the '63 Teal Mist. One sidetrack that occurred up in Ohio is that I "rescued" another car, a '67 Chrysler Newport Custom. I'd seen the car last year on the street, but didn't think to inquire about it. Then, this year, I saw it again, so I ended up putting a note on the car, and ultimately bought the car for just $1250. I then proceeded to recommission the old Mopar in much the same way as I did the Riviera...lots of new engine bolt-on parts, new brakes and tires etc. etc. So here are a couple of photos of the old barge. I like big boats and I cannot lie! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychostang Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Look's like it's in really good condition. If so, that is a steal at $1250.00 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PWB Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Well I always said a ‘67 anything looks great. The epitomic year of most for design IMO. Nice work and congrats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnulfo de l.a. Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Kudos to you for the rescue and recommissioning job. Great looking car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psychostang Posted August 27, 2019 Share Posted August 27, 2019 If this car is in Tampa, please bring it to the TBAVA meet today, at Chedders Scratch Kitchen on Dale Mabry. It's just south of Hudson. Just north of the old WOW burger that went out of business. Of course this is weather permitting..:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsgun Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Before I got the Riv, I was shopping for a mid 60's Newport or New Yorker. Striking cars, outstanding styling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
