That sounds fun! 
But i was looking more for how rare or how many were built or if it is hard to find parts? and such I am thinking about a 70 sum thousand mile original driver and am looking for input to help decide

1964 Newport 2-door HT production: 10,579
I would guess it's fairly rare, I don't think many full-sized cars came with manual transmissions even then, although it was standard on many of them. Base price of the car was $3,500, automatic transmission was only $227 versus $500-$700 for AC.

Over the last year, I watched three different ones pop up on eBay. I was surprised in as much as so few were made. I don't believe any of them fetched over 2 grand or so. There's enough interchangabilty with later stuff that won't leave you stranded due to something breaking.
Personally, if it were a two door, I would LOVE one. Where is this one located?
The experts on these cars at over at moparfins and cbodydrydock.

Quote:A 470 stroker w a built 727 along with it and a later 8&3/4 housing (for easier gear changes) & some HP ex manifolds w a 3" mandrel pipes (Andy got 550 horsepower w them) w Walker dynomax 17769 muffs w an X pipe and resonators of some sort in the rear tailpipes (both for the noise). Nobody will know the difference until it is too late
That sounds fun!

You have got to be kidding about the Dock. There's a small handful that know what they are talking about. Most of them need training on how to start a car.
Commando1 is right about Moparfins. The tallent there is more knowledgable. Not to mention, the ones in the know also left the Dock for Fins.
I'm a Dock member too. I am constantly trying to straighten out people who are guessing. Frankly, I just won't do it anymore. Been a dock member since it's conception.

I wish I had a dollar for every post on the dock where somebody asked the same questions that have already been answered about 1000 times prior - like headers and disc brakes. That site does need a few search nazis for the lazy people.
