WTB: 1961 Newport Parts/Chrome

Hello,

Does anyone know of a good outlet for parts related to the early 60's
Chryslers? I have a 1961 Newport that needs a few chrome pieces and
some tail lights, esp. I am not finding the usual repro trunk liners,
carpets, etc.

Any Help Appreciate ;-)

Thx,
Neil

Repro parts for a '61 Newport? You'r funny :-)

I've got a '59 Imperial and a '68 Newport and have found that repro
stuff for the big Chryslers is in very short supply. You can go to
http://www.imperialclub.com/Part/index.htm and see a list of vendors
by part category. Your chrome and lens's will probably need to come
from a recycler.

Body parts can be hard to find for these old girls but they sure get a
lot of attention when you take them out.

Get yourself a Gary Goers catalogue, www.garygoers.com . He is very slow
to respond to requests and orders. Humor him; he's a one-man show and does
very good work. The wait is worthwhile.

There's less support for the C-bodies than the A, B, and E-bodies, but
there is some. Year One (www.yearone.com) has some stuff, and the online
"junkyards" like www.texasacres.com, www.drmopar.com, etc. can be
helpful. There's a pretty good discussion forum at:

http://www.cbodydrydock.com/

THANKS to ALL who responded. Yea, it's a bummer when trying to get
stuff for the less popular years, but hey, I found this beauty so near
new that the back seats still have the factory plactis on them and they
match the repro fabric swath almost perfect. No rust and just a few
bad pieces of chrome/plstic. I couldn't pass it up. PLUS...Thoise
FINS ;-)

thanks again!
