Description of 1970 Chrysler Newport

1970 Chrysler Newport Convertible – 3-speed manual column shift – Unique VIN – CE27L0C 219440 Current Virginia license tag Color code: X93W 383 cubic inch w/2bl ODO - 34K miles - this represents at least 134K This fuselage-bodied Chrysler convertible was special ordered at Fairfax Chrysler/Plymouth. Fairfax. Virginia in March of 1970 by the original owner. It is uniquely configured and fully documented. The original owner told me that it was important that he have a car that was both easy to service and versatile. This 1970 383 big block convertible is not for everyone. It requires a strong but sensitive hand to drive well. It’s heavy in confined environments. It was purchased for a rural environment where it runs well on open highways.
