Hey everyone,

im only 22 but LOVE old muscle cars. for cruises and drag racing AT THE TRACK! i have a few projects on the go. this is the most complete but simple.

This is my car:

Her name is Elanor a 68 chrysler newport, 383, holley 4150 650 cfm carb, dual 2 inch exhaust with thrush mufflers, new paint, all original sheet metal, all original interior with an added in custom built centre console to house a stereo deck and a pair of speakers. hidden in the trunk is a simple 10 inch sub and amp combo and another pair of speakers all tucked away to keep it clean. 18x9.5 foose wheels and a golf ball instead of a visible antenna because im a professional golfer to finish her off. more to come though!

P.S. these are old pictures. the whole front end grill and surrounding pannels are all chromed now new pics soon.

Thanks for looking

Gary

Bought the car when i was 16. I found it when looking for parts for my grandpa's old 70 newport (that is now mine and a long way from being done). I payed $1500 for the car with 2 spots of surface rust the size of a quarter and paint was a little dull but have done everything myself to restore it and make it my own.

thanks for the compliments!
