Any Chrysler C-Body Fans?

I always liked the '69-'73 Chrysler Newports.. Went through a few of them in the early 80's..
I have two now, a '69 and a '72.
The '69 is special to me, as I always saw it parked in the driveway or garage of the house we used to pass by when I was young.
For some reason, I always admired it, and wanted to get one when I grew up.
41 years later, I ended up with the very car!
I am the third owner, the second bought it from the widow of the original.
Oddly, the second owner bought it because he used to see it as well when passing by on the way to school.. He got it with 70k on the clock and put on only 3k more.
He stopped using it, and stored it in a pole barn from 1994 to 2011, I cleaned out the fuel lines and tank, changed the fluids, and the old girl started up and runs fine!
Both the '69 and '72 were Jefferson built.
