Hello Cristian !! That painting shines so much, that you see yourself reflected in it! 😳😀...

Wow that was like showing an imperial cruiser fly by. Looong.

Beautiful...:)

The condition is incredible, and I am completely sure that that car was not used on rainy days ⛈️

Wow!

I once had a 1994 Escort station wagon. It never stranded me and the only things I did besides brakes, tires, and a battery in 100,000 miles was a transmission line coming out of the radiator due to a pinhole leak. Sold it to a young lady with 206K and she drove it at least another six years.

That emblem is actually from a Mark VII Bill Blass dash.

Parents but a tan 1980 Volare. Must’ve been the first year for the square headlights

The person that owned it truly loved it. He could've donated it years ago or sold it cheap to it end up in a derby. Instead it looks like he ziploc - bagged it and it is in excellent condition. Not appreciated in its day, this is a true rarity today. A great buy for a true Chrysler collector.

I always liked the curvier Mk IV over the sharper cut MK V.

I wanted that car so bad but my parents decided that I needed a four door so I ended up getting a Lincoln Versailles! Big mistake lol I wound up getting spoiled rotten 😂 It’s still a beautiful car to me after all this time but it wasn’t a Thunderbird ❤👍😁

Bill. We lost the Dr on Thursday. Septic.

I had that exact car brand new in 1978. It was a lemon, The carburetor was bad and the dealer couldn't find a new one, had to put in another type of carburetor that never worked well, and then the transmission went out, same story they couldn't get the parts. I did however enjoy driving it.

Never would have believed that an Escort would be saved as a collector car. I can't even remember the last one I saw

I had a 1993 ford escort wagon as my first car almost a decade ago. Same color as this one too! Despite the age of the car it was a beast! I grew up with my parents driving a 1993 escort as well! Except they had the 2 door hatchback. They bought it used in 1995. They were great! Unfortunately with my parents escort. My dad hit a deer on the highway on his way to work and totaled it in 2014. He had to junk it. My escort wagon. Bought it dirt cheap in 2015. Got into an accident with it in winter of 2017. Still drove it for a few months after my dad jury rigged it and sold it for parts. Man I miss those cars! Very reliable! If I had the money and the room for it l’d buy that escort in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Bill just beautiful, y'all really have it looking right!

Bill, This is another great example of you showing us classic automobiles that are time capsules. It is gorgeous! I long to go back to an era when cars were cars. Back then, we could identify the brand by its appearance. Well done!

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. My dad had this car when I was in grade school. It was a tank.

Windshield washer system doesn't work?

Beautiful 😮

I had a 1974 Continental 490 c.i. a dream to drive fast and comfy.

So ahead of its time killer car! Lucky owner

That is a real nice Newport, brings back memories of the 75 I owned, obviouosly this one is in much better condition than mine. Big car that drove quite well for its size, unique with the center glovebox. Those things were tanks and could fit 6 big dudes easily !

She looks even better out in the sun! Thanks for the ride 😁👍 ❤

Yes cars are evolving in to garbage, the new BMW line up is appalling.

Nice run in the 1975 Chrysler Newport.

I wonder what axle ratio is in the back? I bet like a 2.73. Which is not great for takeoff, but would keep the rpms down around 16 or 1700 rpm at like 65 with what I assume is a 727 torqueflite. Back in 75 gas mileage was a major consideration with these heavy cars. Using highway gears and small - primary 4 barell carbs and new ideas like egr valves ,etc in " theory" helped keep these big cars on the road. The introduction of the catylytic converter/mandatory in 75 in all passenger cars - minus heavy duty police / heavy duty trucks was marketed as an efficiency pollution item. I know that is not true, when thise primitive technology cats were introduced they were not designed with the fact that most people were still using some leading fuel. It was a disaster. Actually a properly tuned car would be more efficient than all that nonsense they threw on these engines. Sometimes, but not all of course the emmision systems would malfunction and then nobody was really smart enough/ educated enough to deal with the weirdness of each system. It was a a good idea in theory, but misunderstood by the public. I'm sorry to rant about this, but my mom got into a car accident as I was a little kid in 85 over a clogged catylytic converter.

I wonder bill what a car like this would bring in estimated value? I am going to guess mid to upper 20s? That is just a guess. I would not be suprised if it hit over 30 k though considering its condition and mileage in todays market even though it is not necessarily a " popular " model. If it was say like a 68 or 70 model would probably add about 4 to 6 k in my estimate. It is the quintessential- " find another one " like it kind of car. The 440 would add a small amount of value i guess, say like 2 g

Yeah, I mean how many examples of that model are in better shape than this one? Not many I bet. This is the kind of car you can cruise with the family in comfort and turn heads, even attend local car shows. It's not a muscle car persay, but something different that I would absolutely check out at a show. It runs excellent. The 400 chrysler is a good motor for this car. No. It's not a 440, in which I assume was available, but it is not really necessary either. Awesome car. Did they make a 2 door version? Either way the 4 door version is ok with me. Actually being that big, a 4 door body probably is more appealing to most people

Your attention to detail is a credit to you Bill. Most dealers give the car a wash and that is it, if you want it brought up to this standard you have to pay a detailer. Hope it does well for you in the auction.

I would have much rather it be a Crown Vic. Well it is low mile car. Best of Luck to the new owner.

Wow! Every aspect of this Newport is fantastic. You guys are awesome!

1:23 The highlight of any old Chrysler video! Glovebox in the middle of the dash - that's an interesting feature.

Im so glad you got the Car!!!! I can tell you more about it that you will love. It truly is a beauty and Avandra was a very amazing lady. She had many great cars.

It sure is a beauty with the lighter blue vinyl top over the darker blue paint, as well as the blue interior. As I mentioned previously, the car looks great without the fender skirts. The wheels are great, and the center glove box is as well. Bill, I am curious what the small white car, with the Rolls-Royce type of radiator shell/grille, is. I assume it is a British car. Thanks!

Having had a number of Escort estates over the years as company cars they are a good reliable workhorse, which despite the large numbers made very few have survived and certainly not at this milage or condition. If you don't have room for an 1970's land yacht, buy this one.

A nice car for someone that can't reach the prices that Lincolns go for but wants a piece of 70's americana that they can drive and enjoy. Good luck to the winning bidder.

Do quick driving video of 1979 Lincoln Mark V.

Mourning , wow. Fla Ted

This Bill Blass edition is in my opinion one of the best looks. So splashy, tasteful it epitome of the 70s opulence

Now that's always my sweet spot. I love those full size Oldsmobiles. I had quite a few 98 & 88s over the years. Never had a complaint. You can't go wrong with an Oldsmobile! Thanks Bill!

The quality of the leather and carpets are not available in cars made today.

Sadly, they didn’t duplicate the unique pinstripe the Blass model was known for

Oh. My. God. That is too beautiful.

I can't get over how stunning the car looks. That two-tone theme is out of this world. A real head-turner, unmatched by anything on the roads today.

90% came with the convertible look top

I owned the exact same car........ ..in 1987 ...as a 27 year old in the BRONX...I was told only 5000 were built...only 200 with white leather interior...the Bill Blass was a $2700. Dollar option...beautiful American luxury automobile.

Absolutely beautiful ! BILL amazing Mark !

This is as close as You can get to new 99.9 perfect I love the white seats with the blue strip and 10 , 000 miles I wish I owned this one seriously brother!!
