    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.

  3. 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:

    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!
