Peggy 1965 Newport
Posted: Sat Jun 24, 17 1:04 am
Hello all, pleased to be apart of MMA i've heard great things about the knowledge,group of people and level of motors this site has to offer.
I'll introduce myself, I'm 23 my names Ashley Bone known to plenty as Frank, Nickname shortened from frankenstein i got the nuts n bolts to match (any orthopedic minds out there i have C1 C2 vertebrae fused two 12" titanium rods and screws) .....
right onto the important stuff, The car!
Peggy as she is named is a 1965 Chrysler Newport C-body. 383Cui, 727 Torqueflite, power steering, disc brake converted front. Original Ice blue paintwork certainly isn't a concourse winner but she has her own charm and demands the road wherever i take her, definitely can't hide with the goliath. has just clocked over 80K genuine miles and since i acquired it used it almost daily to the gawps and smiles of everyone at the bus stops in the mornings on way to work.
My plans are simple keep it completely as is and when it needs something fix it. With the rocker covers and airbox i've bought a 51-56 caddy batwing box (repro) & pair of mopar Performance covers. I am going to remove and replace the original items and refurb and clean the stock parts to put up on shelf for a rainy day should i refit or need them, they are a little tired at the minute so replacing just to clean the bay up a little and not have it off the road too long doesn't require much of an excuse to fire her up!
I'll leave the pictures to explain the rest i wont go on.
look forward to meeting everyone and joining any meets n shows
