This car, chassis number C7807503, was the pace car and the personal property of Walter P. Chrysler, Jr. This car is fitted with a 'Vacamatic' three-speed overdrive transmission allowing clutch-less shifting between standard and overdrive ratios in second and third. The eight-cylinder engine displaces 323 cubic inches and is capable of producing 143 horsepower. There are four-wheel drum brakes, an independent front suspension, and a live rear axle.
This car is painted pastel green and reupholstered in dark green leather. It has been fitted with a top, by Chrysler and LeBaron, which folds under an integrated metal boot cover. To aid entry and exit to and from the rear seat, the cowl was modified to be raised and lowered electrically.
The current owner acquired this car in 2000. The car is almost completely original, including the paint and upholstery, and the monogrammed badges on the front doors.
In 2008, this Newport Concept was brought to the 'Automobiles of Amelia Island' presented by RM Auctions. Also, it received an invitation to be shown at the Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance a day later. The car has an estimated value of $800,000 - $1,200,000.By Daniel Vaughan | Mar 2009
