I have a '67 Chrysler Newport Custom, '73 Chrysler New Yorker, 80 Dodge Mirada and a '82 Olds Ninety-Eight.
The '67 is really my dad's car but we both work on it and shared the cost of restoring it. It's a 4 door hardtop with a 440 in it. It was originally pale yellow with a black top and a 383. We bought it was the 440 already in it (383 MIA) and a crappy green paintjob so we painted a gold color. It still needs some work but looks OK as is, might be getting painted again this summer and some interior work.
The '73 I bought last fall, the body is in great shape with no rust only problem is there is no engine/trans in it. The guy I bought it from owns 7 other '64-'68 Chryslers and pulled it as a spare. The car came with a 440 and I'm still trying to find one, may have to go with a 383 if I can't find one. I took these pics the day I bought it, the missing letters and hubcaps were in the trunk so it looks a little better than this now.
The 80 Mirada I've had for a few years, it was originally white a slant six, but I built a mild (330hp or so) 360 and 727 for it. Also has 8 3/4 rear end from a '68 Satellite with 3.91 gears and possibly a 4 speed swap in the near future.
And finally the Olds is has been my daily driver for the last few years (including winters) so that has taken it's toll on her, it looks great from 20 feet away but get up close and you can see the rusties, plus the frame is getting soft in the rear. When I'm finished doing the front end rebuild on my Mirada, that will be the driver again and the olds will be put out of service unfortunately. I love the car but it needs a lot of work, a local guy is restoring a green '83 Ninety-Eight and he is going to buy it for parts I think.
