That's weird...no 1961 Chrysler threads?

I found the green car. It is owned by Hamb'r suhweet61. This is his avatar.

 

Hi-Finn was a friend of mine. Need to get another some day soon.

 

I need to get rid of two of these. I for sure keeping the Imperial but damn if I don't want to keep that Newport now too. That car is so custom looking with just a lowering job. Sigh...Time, money, or space...PICK ONE.

 

Damn you, stealing all of our good iron from Texas. I decided after looking at the pics, I don't know that I can like you anymore....
Seriously, sweet rides good luck with them.

 

Scoob! The Imperial is cool... but c'mon man... just eyeball that Chrysler coupe. It's a marvel. I saw your thread on the forwardlook I hope the big one sells first.

 

yeah, I hope the big one goes first and I do love that Newport but they would be awfully similar cars to have. Plus...

 

Here's some more pics of the green Mild Custom '61 New Yorker:

 

Here's a nice shot of a '61 Chrysler 300 G Hardtop & 'Vert:

 

Here's the Ghia bodied '61 Chrysler TURBOFLITE concept car:

 

Wow! They really had some wicked ass drugs in the 60's, didn't they!

 

Yeah, that is an ugly car and I LIKE crazy. Whew...glad they went with what they did. That green 61 is beautiful.

 

Oh, been gone for awhile and just found this thread, I HAVE ONE !



A project, had it running just yesterday to get my motivation rise...

 

It is neat to see someone else likes 61 chryslers. I have a 61 Newport conv. that is a factory 3 spd. I,ve been told it is somewhat rare. I had it at the HAMB drags my wife raced it. The guy before me put a 300 grill in so every one thinks it is a 300. I also put the long ram on. Fun to get comments on that. Would like to know actual production figures on it. MaxWedge

 

I just picked mine up last week. Been waiting over 10 years to find one that was a driver, priced right and didn't need everything. It'll need some small rust repair, interior work and different paint but that's about it.

 

8thdaycr8 ... great find ... looks to be a real nice car ... what's your plans for paint? ... I'm kinda diggin' the 2-tone concept with the black hardtop.

 

More than likely I'll keep the two tone look, metal flake on the roof and something suede for the rest of the car. I need to find the side and fin trim as I think it helps the look of the fins.

 

Any progress on the Chryslers unclescooby?

 

I have a 61 chrysler in the junk yard. Its roached out bad but does have some good parts. Also have it listed in the classifieds. Let me know what you need.

Thanks
