From the flagship of the fleet department is this Chrysler Newport seen on the side of the road with an asking price of a mere four hundred dollars. The 1971 Newport heavy has a 383 big block connected to a an apparently blown up TorqueFlite automatic transmission. The scrawled message on the side glass says the big block does indeed run. Even with a toasted transmission, that’s still only one hundred bucks per door, and just pennies over a dollar per cubic inch of V8 mopower! Those Newport fans traveling along West Winton avenue in Hayward, California are advised to keep their eyes peeled for acres of beige sheet metal complete with rust. The Ministry and Iron Maiden decals on the rear window are either an indication of previous owners musical preferences, or a telling omen that this Newport shall rock once more.

Typical Mopar cancer behind the rear window. I suspect the only thing in the trunk is a big gaping hole to the ground.
TV's Paul Y. says
Never trust a junkie, but always trust someone who’s into fuselage Chryslers, Ministry, and Iron Maiden.
At worst, this could be a hell of a LeMons contender. Optimistically, it could be a terrifyingly mean driver.

Its really not that rusty and I bet it can do great breakstands too! Not bad for 400 bucks!
Gaffo Jones says
That’s less than ten cents a pound for some quality American Iron. That nut butter yellow is screaming for a big bold flame job…seriously, useable big block T-flite tranny cores are getting harder and harder to come by so if you see one snag it. They’re worth more than two hundred bucks these days!
