Seller's Description:

Fun and well-mannered 1969 Chrysler Newport Convertible, affectionately known as "Goldie". 383 Big Block V8 w/2bbl, 97,600 original miles. All original, unmodified vehicle. Power top, PS, PB, PW, CC, Tilt/Telescopic column, original radio all work well. 8-Track tape deck is not working; not sure why. Heat works well but AC seems to have a connection issue. Gold pinstriped tires. Vehicle runs well and starts every time. Easy to drive and glides down the highway like floating on a cloud. Interior is complete and intact, no holes, dash is not cracked. Steering wheel has cracks, and horn is non-op. Top is good except for two holes that could be repaired (I always have the top down anyway). No parade boot but they are available online for approx. $385 shipped. Interior is intact and comfortable; no rips or tears, but fabric has looked better and could use a refresh. Floorboards have some rust that will need to be addressed, and carpet should be replaced at that time. (approx. $300 shipped). Would love to keep this car but not enough garage space. Running/driving/fun vehicle that will be worth much more as the little issues that it has are corrected. Call or text Chuck for more info or showing.

I'm thinking this is a decent deal on a Chrysler C convertible. It doesn't look bad and a top, while not cheap, shouldn't be as expensive as, say, a GM scissor top.

 

Wish there were more interior pics.

 

I do wonder about floor rust on a Colorado car. Thought high desert like that was kind to old car metal.

Yes, I think the ratio is that for every $1000 you “invest” in repairs you increase the value by $100.  🤔

I think the issues are pretty serious: bad top, broken AC, bad steering wheel, no boot, rusty floor on a base Chrysler. But it is priced accordingly. I would rather find a better one and pay a little more.
