Looking for a drivers side tail light lens assembly.
More stuff to come I’m sure.

I need to move a 65 newport in the near future.
It has been apart for years, motor and trans is out.
The owner had to unload the torsion bars and maybe pull the cross member.
I’m looking for some help determining what I need to get done to make it loadable on a trailer.
I am short on time and it is going to be a job to get it out of the shop and spun to get on a trailer.
I could maybe go out ahead and do some prep work but would rather get it done in one trip.
There is parts to be loaded as…

Guys, I’m looking for some input on an upcoming 383 build. Its a 1965 that will be going into a Newport 4dr sedan. I believe it is a factory 2brl.

I know their was a compression drop in 65 and a resulting lower hp. Was this do to changes in the heads? Or did they go to a dished piston?

I intend to run the stock heads as they are brand new. Factory cast iron 4 barrel and an Edelbrock/Carter carb. I have all the carb variations to choose from, in that platform.
I have a few random Holleys…

I just picked up a 86 Laser as a project / flipper for my nephew. It seems to be a pretty good car but certainly needs work. Sounds like the drive train is solid. It has some minor mechanical and interior and needs paint. We are going to go thru it and sell it in the summer so he can earn some money towards finishing his first vehicle. He is set to get his license in September.

I don’t really know anything about these cars. The only fwd cars I have been around are Toronados and Eldorados.

What is the compatibility between 2 door rear seat frames? I’m guessing. 69-71 and 73-74?
Or are they all the same?
That would be great if they are. I need new frames for my 73 Fury.
