Just sayin hi. New to forum.

Ok. Got a 1964 Newport 3 on the floor recently. Good runner says 80,xxx on odo... But it's not my first. When I was 16 I had a 66 Charger. 383 three on the tree car.. It had a 318 Truck motor in it. And at 18 I had a really nice clean 68 coronet wagon. 273 ran very well. I bought it for $75 cause it needed a trans. Bought a trans for $75. Presto. Nice car. Oh ya and a project with my brother. 66 Charger 318 broken crank. Turned it into a 440 (P) with challenger trans and exhaust. Fast car. Lotsa smoke. (Tires)...

Well that'll get us goin.. :bravo:

Is that a 3 stick or auto? :hmmm:

Ever seen a pushbutton on the console, ding-dong? It's a '64.

He never said that it was the OEM trans. :huh:

 

[Dr.Jass]

Well, if you're talking about the transmission itself, it's under the floor like it is on most every car.

Glad to have you here, schreddr!

 

[schreddr]

Stick. Manual.

 

[schreddr]

Thanks. And I agree.. It is under the floor...

 

[Dr.Jass]

I was ribbing 68R/T, not you. It's a long-enduring battle. :dance:

 

[thrashingcows]

Welcome aboard...nice fleet of cars you have come and go. A 64 stick newport is a neat car!

 

[68R/T]

Stick. Manual.

Gotta love a 3 pedal car, original or not. And being a C-barge is even more of a rarity. :giggedy:

He means that he keeps trying to trick me up. :toot:

 

[Dr.Jass]

I don't have to try. I just sit around and wait for you to type something silly, like you did above. :dance:

Schreddr, have you got any pics? We like pics. Especially pics with (shifter) sticks.

 

[Not A Duster]

Welcome Mr. Schreddr.

Pay no attention to those two... contrary so-and-so's - both of them. Stick with me for polite conversation. :toot:

anyone with a running 273 cant be bad at all....but we need pic's

 

[Dr.Jass]

Well, he had a running 273 when he was 18. I'm betting the Newport's either a 361 or a 383; I don't think the 273 was available in anything but the A-bodies until '66 or '67.
