Wrench Report

By Chris Esparza

RestoMods Head Mechanic. 20 year classic car mechanic & builder.

Finned fenders, quad headlamps, and push-button TorqueFlite style meet 440 cubic inches of replacement V8 power in this three-row Chrysler wagon! Power front discs and power steering make the big Newport easier to handle, while the parchment leather, stowaway rear bench, and chrome wire wheels make it a roomy, retro cruiser!

Description

Reportedly spending 25 years with one family in Arizona, this 1961 Chrysler Newport wagon is finished in teal blue and white over parchment leather. Powered by a replacement 440ci V8 and paired with a three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission, this Chrysler features power front disc brakes, power steering, a push-button gear selector, chrome 15-inch wire wheels, and three rows of seating. The current owner acquired the car on BaT in November 2021, and it is now offered with refurbishment receipts and a clean Washington title.

Angled quad headlamps and finned quarter panels mark the body, which left the factory in white and was repainted in teal blue and white during a refurbishment under previous ownership. Chrome bumpers, a fender-mounted mirror, reverse lamps, and dual-outlet exhaust are fitted. The tailgate has a power rear window and drops down to reveal a rear-facing bench seat that stows in the floor. The passenger quarter panel has a touched-up area, the tailgate has rust repair, and the paint on the grille is lifting.

The car rides on chrome 15-inch wire wheels mounted with 235/75 General Ameri SE white stripe tires.

Parchment leather with pleated inserts covers three rows of bench seating, with matching door trim panels. An analog clock is installed. The air conditioning belts, compressor, and pulleys are intact, but the lines and under-dash unit are missing.

An AstraDome instrument cluster holds a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for amperage, fuel level, oil pressure, and coolant temperature. A push-button transmission gear selector and a remote mirror control are installed. The five-digit odometer shows 96,541 miles, approximately 50 of which were added under current ownership, and total mileage is unknown.

The factory engine was replaced by a 440ci V8 during the refurbishment under previous ownership, and an oil pressure gauge is mounted on the firewall. The car bogs under acceleration at times. A three-speed TorqueFlite automatic transmission sends power to the rear wheels.

Power steering is installed, and braking comes from power-assisted front discs and rear drums.
