I thought it would be nice to have a classic that can be actually used for picking up Estate sale finds!
Now the Newport has a little friend to keep it company in the garage! LOL!
So far, just had to wheel out the faded paint and woodgrain, change the oil,
and install the correct wheel covers.

IIRC, the 1980 slant-banger was the first one to use hydraulic lifters. Otherwise, the ones with the solid lifters had to be adjusted every 20K miles.
If they weren't readjusted, the engine was even more gutless.
Plus it sounded like a sewing machine.
