Hi all, I just joined and have been reading and looking at all the nice pics on here..man some nice rides forsure!</P>


The reason I am posting here {besides saying hi} is to get some opinions on my car. I have no pics just yet but I will forsure. I am currently fixing up a 1968 Newport It's swampthing green and has a 383 under the hood that purrrrs real nice<IMG src=smileys/smiley4.gif border="0">. It runs clean and sounds great, I had the back seats redone with original 68 covers (not cheap!) lol.</P>


Anyway, I was thinking I might sell it and would like to know what a good fair price is. It is asoft top 2 doorwith power everything.</P>


Any answers would be nice.</P>

 

Hello skittle and welcome to dodgeforums! <IMG src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0"></P>


I dont know what a 68' newport would go for but im sure others will help</P>

 

Welcome to Dodge Forums!! LOL "Swampthing green"... that was funny, made me laugh out loud. </P>


Anyway, it sound like it's mint... or very close. If I were you, I wouldn't sell it... it's a fabulous thing to have, especially in like new condition.</P>


Have you put a lot into it? I don't want to spout off a number and you say, we'll I put that into it... LOL! But if it's as clean and mint as you say... find the right buyer looking for that car, and I think you'll make out like a bandit with it. </P>

Thanks for the nice welcome.</P>


When I first bought the car off my friend I was gonna fix it and sell it and get a little junker just to bob around in, but then I started asking around and found that are only a few ppl that know the car and they where impressed that I had one, further more, since I have had it (7 months or so) I've only seen one other like it. One on line and one parked in the parking lot down town. ( but it wasn't swampthing green!) LOL I think I will keep it and do what I can do for the car. I'm not a real gear head, I just tinker with the easy stuff lol.</P>

 

I think it's a treasure, they are rare enough... I've seen plenty used as demolition derby cars (sad demise for such a great car...) Definately let us know what happens with it... and take some pictures. </P>

Sure thing, will do.<IMG style="WIDTH: 35px; HEIGHT: 23px" height=29 src=smileys/smiley2.gif width=51 border="0">

 

just a little selling tip: if you sell it, use a clay bar on it first...that will get some extra luster out of the paint and you could get a little more for it then!!

 

Thanks for the tip man

 

Hi!
I will sell you the original motor and Trans for your car. 400 Big Block with the 727 Trans.
I am not asking much if you are interested read my forum under Classic. Or e-mail me at patrickmaniaci2003@yahoo.com It only has 76,000 miles on it original and runs and is ready for application as is.

 

The 400 is not an original motor for a '68. The 400 didn't come around until 1972, it was the replacement for the 383.[sm=smiley23.gif]

Skittle, your best bet at figuring out the value of it would be getting an old/classic car price guide, I see them all the time at Kroger, Walden Books and Media Play. You can also check the Muscle, Classic & Sports Car Trader.[sm=smiley2.gif]
