so, been working on my 64 chrysler newport and ran into some usual stuff people mention. rust is a pain, especially in the wheel wells and around the doors. and that air conditioning? it’s finicky if it even works. i had to replace the heater core too, leaks like crazy. ford transmission’s tough on folks with older carburetors. but hey, that inline-six engine is a piece of cake if you keep it clean. what’s your biggest gripe? ever have trouble with the wiring? mine’s a mess sometimes. thoughts?
I’ve got a '64 Chrysler Newport from Michigan—door latches on that thing are a nightmare. Always been a headache! Rust everywhere, can’t ignore it. Starting’s a hassle too, just doesn’t wanna run smooth. Anyone else with the same issues? Oh, that heater blows! Super helpful in summer!

Back in '86, in sunny California, I bought a '64 Chrysler Newport. Steering felt like jelly, and it had a knack for rust everywhere—under the hood n all. I’ve replaced a couple parts during that summer—kinda why I switched to a Honda the next year. Talking to fellow collectors on here, we all got war stories, don’t we?
I’ve owned a ‘64 Newport in Toronto for years. Electrical gremlins were a nightmare—wires just don’t wanna follow instructions. Rust started chattin’ up the body real early. But man, that V8 charm is unbeatable!
I’ve got stories from my uncle in Michigan about his 1964 Chrysler Newport. The electrical system’s a pain, keeps blowing fuses! Radiator leaks are common too, and don’t get me started on the carburetor issues – gotta baby it at start-up. But with some TLC, it’s a real classic. Been through some back roads - that V8 rumble is unbeatable!

Despite its quirks, owning a piece of that era’s muscle comes with its own charm!
I’ve seen a few 1964 Chrysler Newports around New England and let me tell ya, those old beaters have their quirks!

I’ve got one of those Nips n everything started clunkin’ near Boston. Spent loads babysitting the engine, brakes a nightmare, and the electrics go bonkers. Gathered a whole troop of grease monkeys helpin’ out!
I’ve owned a 1964 Chrysler Newport up North in Canada. The carburetor tunes are a pain; don’t even get me started on rust, 'specially in the doors and frames. Engine overheats like nobody’s business unless you babysit it. Still, the ride’s smooth when she’s running right!

Any other trick for keeping 'em cool, all ears.
I’ve owned a '64 Chrysler Newport since '88, and let me tell ya, the drivetrain is a handful! The brakes and suspension need constant love here in Michigan.

Might be worth the sweat!
