On "My Car Story" we're in the Western Suburbs of Chicago IL on 5-21-24.
We're looking at a 1967 Chrysler Newport Convertible in Spice Gold Paint.
The car comes with the 383 CI V8 engine and an automatic transmission.
The car's Owner is Paul Habura. Paul’s had this car since 2005. Paul shares he had one like this back as his first car and saw this one in the paper and found out it was the exact color of his old one. This one’s a survivor with 109K miles on it and it rides down the road like floating on a cloud.

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou
We had a 4 door '66 Newport in dark metallic green with a 383 when I was a kid. My dad had been a Buick guy but decided to try a Chrysler and fell in love with that car. He kept it for 20 years and took great care of it. It ran so smooth my mom would think that the engine had died when we would come to a stoplight. I always loved that body style in a convertible...such a big flat slab of a car that just looks great with the top down. Thanks, Lou!
Hi architype one, Hi , Happy to read this car brings back memories of your 4 door car :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
Thanks… me , too.. except a **1966 GALAXIE 500 XL/4 speed/352/4 BBL/ Burgandy (bargain , low mikes,found, in early 1967)deluxe Interiors: unfortunately not the 7 LITRE/ or Disc Brakes,etc:: had to upgrade it quickly, & easily ::Metallic Brakes, Tires/Shocks/Engine stuff…. Anyways, oddly, kind of a FAVORITE Vehicle for driving, Working on .. Incidentally, JAY LENO Dad got one of these, *& JAY rebuilt the 1966…….
Your father doesn’t surprise me. I was in sixth grade when that 1966 Newport came out. It was so beautiful and yet so different from GM and Ford products, just like this convertible.
Outstanding original “ Landyacht “ Really a treat Lou. They don’t build cruisers like that anymore!
Hi John, ALL ABOARD! Happy to share this "treat" with you, Lou

Clean and classy looking Newport convertible, the fact this is a survivor car means it has been lovingly cared for and it shows. Thanks Lou, great job.

Hi Larry, "That's amazing it's a survivor who spent all its life in Illinois and goes to take proper care of them they last forever great car" I agree, Lou
It's sure nice to see one of these *boats* once again. My goodness, they look ridiculously huge by today's standards. This golden beauty is in incredible condition too! Thanks for the trip down memory lane! 👍 (for the record, I was only 10 in this model year).
Hi Mike, Happy to read this car brings back memories :-) Thank you for viewing, sharing, and you're welcome, Lou
What a great Newport! It looks fantastic in gold on gold, and the black top is quite stylish, too. Mr. Habura had a great first car experience, and I'm happy to see he found a duplicate in great condition with this one. Thanks, Lou!
Hi TheGunfighter45acp, So challenging to find one like this, and seems the heavens opened up for him to find two of them. My pleasure sharing this car with you. You're welcome, Lou
What a beautiful survivor - great lines, wonderful colour and presence.
Thanks Paul and Lou for letting us see this classic.
Hi Jeff, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car with "presence' :-) My pleasure sharing with you. You're welcome. Appreciate your support, Lou
Chrysler, when America was great.
:-)
Thanks for the video on the 1967 Chrysler Newport convertible. The car is in showroom condition and gives a full floating ride. It's a spice gold long luxurious classic. Congratulations to the owner.
My pleasure sharing this car with you :-) You're welcome.
Beautiful old car LOU God Bless,
Hi Leroy, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car ;-) Blessings received. God bless you too, Lou
This was a great showing of an original car which is the best ones to show. My first car was a w1973 Chrysler Newport Custom. The dashboard looked similar to this car!
Hi Jed, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
What a great survivor! Super nice! I love all cars though the late ‘60’s. Chrysler, Ford, or GM.
They all made great looking cars!
Congratulations! Take good care of her.
Hi Greg, Happy to read you enjoy this "great survivor" :-) My pleasure sharing this car with you, Lou
Elwood Engel baby…concave slab side w/sharp creases in all its glory. Love how absent this car is of chrome and do dads that were all the rage 10 years prior…doesn’t need anything which is a hallmark of excellent design and style. Awesome car!
High praise.
What a nice looking car with a smooth ride too!
Happy to read you enjoy the looks and smoothness of this cars ride.
We had the four door sedan version of this car. It was comfortable. My father drove it 95 mph often. The air conditioning was excellent. It only got 8 mpg and they sold it in 1975. Cost more to drive than a new small car cost.
Hi jw77019, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Fathers car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
I guess the area I grew up from the 40’s on wasn’t Chrysler country. I’ve come to appreciate them more at car shows. Thanks for previewing this one.
Happy to read you're appreciating these cars now. Good news! You're on the right TH-cam Channel for the cars you enjoy.
I guess I’m like a lot of others when it comes to Chrysler, back then looked at Chrysler as the number 3 and they were ok but now looking back at them they are very elegant and they have powerful engines and smooth rides. Sounds great too

This been a great survivor and been taken care of is one thing, but I'm stuck in emotions the design, lines and proportions of the car brings me in, imagine having bought this brand new in '67 and out for your first cruise, ohh man !
Hi KenanTurkiye, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
Lou Costabile quote: "so how does your 1967 Convertible do with today's E85?
..Answer: my spice Gold Convertible LOVES IT"
:-)
Love this one. Had a '66 Newport for my second car and a 1968 Dodge Polara convertible for my third car in high school. Polara is very similar. However I had the 375 hp 440. All great cars.
Hi Bill, "Love this one" NICE! Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
@@loucostabile These cars are rare these days. Always a treat to see one!
Wow, Lou, that owner has himself a really nice vehicle. How many of those do you see today? That is a really impressively sized car - it must be over 19 feet long. Gives meaning to the term "land yacht"!
The wheel covers, although they are intended for a 300, gives the car sort of a custom look. If they're not correct, so what? The owner is quite happy; he can do whatever he wants.
I would like to see you go for a ride in that car, Lou, and I'm sure you'll get one! I can hear that song "Love Shack" by the B-52's, in which you hear the words "Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale . . ." Not quite _that_ big, but it's big enough for the highway!
Thanks again, Lou! You always outdo yourself with these videos!
Hi Know Bodies Full, Happy to share this "Land Yacht" with you :-) ALL ABOARD! You're welcome, Lou
I sure do love these cars, ive owned 3 of them two were 383s and the biggest and best one was a 400, im always looking for another one )
Hi Jensen Interceptor, Three times as much FUN! NICE, Lou
This is the car one would take to Sinatra's Palm Springs house for his annual barbecue n '67!
:-)
Wow, what a nice and lovly car. Love it much. A MOPAR fan.
Hi Ollie, Happy to read you enjoy this "lovely car" :-) Lou
Had a 67 Newport, same colour! It was a 2 door hardtop though with a black vinyl roof and black interior. I bought it I think in 1979 as a go to work car at the steel mills in Hamilton. I think I paid around $600 for it. My main car was a 76 Dodge Royal Monaco 2 door hardtop in powder blue with white interior and a dark blue vinyl top.
Hi , Trip Reviews Happy to read this car brings back memories of your car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
A very nice car and and relatively uncommon even when new, certainly worthy of this presentation. Lou you should consider featuring some 1940's and 1950 era pick up, panel, and canopy express light duty trucks.
Hi Stude289, Happy to read you enjoy this "very nice car" :-) Well....the Channel is "My Car Story" ....however is you type into TH-cam search "My Car Story with Lou Pickup" or "My Car Story with Lou truck" you might see a few trucks slipped in :-) Enjoy! Lou
Lou...mis felicitaciones , a ti y a tu amigo dueño DE este AUTO Uno de estos de 4 puertas , nos pego uno de los mejores sustos noche de invierno con ligera llovizna, bajabamos por una calle empinada , Conducía mi patrón y no mas empezamos a bajar el puto motor se apago Y Mi boss con la pata afimada en el freno. al ser servo freno ,con motor off no paraba y la mano dandole arranque ,alla abajo la avenida llena de omnibus y transito pesado y. Era evidente segundos al desastre y arranco! el portentoso V8, pero como tenia la pata afirmada con todo pego un frenazo tan fuerte que no salimos con parabrisas y todo por poco paro a un metro de darnos contra un machazo omnibus Leyland !!! ufff!!
Hi Juan, that is a scary ride.....and then it started. WOW! Like a movie, Lou
I would like to point out the the 300 was above this model, but so was the New Yorker, than the Imperial. This would have been the lowest level Chrysler in 1967. Love the tail lights. Very classic look to it. Love that it is a convertible. Love the ride...it looks so smooth just floating along the beautiful road. Man alive do I miss a wing window!

Beautiful, beautiful survivor car don’t know how you find them. I appreciate the comment you made about the way. The top looked on the car when it was up and down, and I like to look at the top when was up to more so than the other way I had a Camaro convertible and I felt the same way about it. I didn’t like the looks of it near as wellwhen the top was down as I did when it was up, I thought it looked better. That was a 2010 and I thought it was funny that you made the same reservation.😮❤
Hi James, Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-) Thank you for sharing the comment you appreciate, Lou
Beautiful!
Happy to read you enjoy the looks of this car :-)
Gr8 feature Lou.
Thank you Audie.
That gold paint is very similar to our 1967 Dodge Charger 440 Magnum survivor
Happy to read this color reminds you of your car :-)
Captain's License required? 😅
ALL ABOARD!
Outside of being the entry-level Chrysler, i believe reading in Consumer Reports, they stated that the Newport model wasn't needed. I remember that the Newport cost about $1k more than a Plymouth VIP with every available option. If you had to have a Chrysler, you'd be better off buying a New Yorker.
This is a cool convertible and that is probably the reason that it didn't follow it's siblings to the junk yard.
Hi Automated Electronics, Thanks for sharing what you remember. Happy to read you enjoy this "cool convertible" :-) Lou
🙋♂️THANKS LOU,PAUL ,FOR SHARING THIS SURVIVOR IN SPICE GOLD 🥇 A WINNER 🏆 IN MY BOOK…AND A GREAT STORY… Prove you you don’t have to be rich to drive a beauty like this😁💚💚💚
Hi Budget Audiophile Life-long, Happy to share this "WINNER" with you :-) You're welcome, Lou
The New Yorker was a step above the 300 & the Newport. The Imperial was it's own separate entity which was the Flagship of Chrysler Corporation

Wowww beautiful great video ❤
High praise.
They also offered the New Yorker as an upgrade.
Thank you for sharing.
Great car!
:-)
@@loucostabile did I hear him Lou, 10 MPG! Yes but 10 Bucks would get you a half of tank. As I recall you could fill up for 22 bucks! Gasoline was so pure back then 😀
Obviously a car from the former Auric Goldfinger Kentucky ranch fleet
....obviously.
Those little vent windows were on 1976 Dodge Darts. Pretty sure was last time Chrysler put them on any of their cars
Thank you for sharing what you notice.
Beautiful surviver car, and Paul got an excellent deal on it
Happy to share this car with you :-)
Unlike GM and Ford, Chrysler kept crisp edges and elegant styling after 1966. The concave sides are very stylish.
Hi Jay, Happy to read you enjoy the styling of this car :-) Lou
Авто чудово виглядає в золотому кольорі! Дякую!
Hi Сергій, Glad to read you enjoy the gold car. You're welcome, Lou
The ultimate Love Shackmobile!
:-)
It's as big as a whale, and it's about to set sail!
~and _no,_ I am _not_ referring to Chris Christie.. LMAO 🤣
Clock works!
Bonus!
Nice 😀
Hi Michael, Happy to read this one is "Nice" :-)
Beautiful car Lou don't see many Chryslers of that year model let alone a convertible, the original owner of my Duster had a 67 Plymouth Fury with a 383 I think that traded in on my Duster in 1973 it has a 225 slant six in it so I'm wondering if the gas prices had something to do with that lol.
If the car had the slant 6, I think you're on the gas prices
Good with good! What an exciting car! Cars just aren’t really exciting anymore
High praise.
Nothing rides like a " C " body.
Like floating on air :-)
My parents had the sefan version in the same color.
Hi David, Happy to read this car brings back memories of your Parents car :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou
B52s " hope in my Chrysler its a big as a whale and about to set sail "
:-)
Cool! To me it looks way better than what is made today. All cars today seem to look alike, like they all are trying to look like a Toyota. Nothing against Toyota, but not every car should look alike, that's just not right at all.
Hi wjack, Happy to read this one is "Cool!" :-) Good news! I think you're on the right TH-cam Channel for the cars you enjoy. Lou
Beautiful car & color👍😊it the 413 cu inch motor?🤔 as I didn't catch what size they said the engine was!!!🧐😊
@@keithdukes5990: 383 2 barrel
Can't tell one car from another nowadays. Too expensive for boring
💯🎯🎯🔥
:-)
I thought the New Yorker was higher than the Newport.
It was. The reason I clicked on the video is bc it looked like my grandfather's 1967 New Yorker 4-door sedan. Imperial was the only one higher. Surprised to hear the error.
I see you have your answer already.
This car is in really good shape for a survivor. These questions were not asked. What engine does it have and is it a two or four barrel carb. How and where did he find it? Was this a car he was looking for? How long has he owned it? Does he drive it regularly and does he attend cruise ins?
The top and rear window are in awesome shape. It must have been replaced. Does he know when that was done or did he have it done after he purchased it? The top went down so fast which makes me think the motor and other parts of the power roof must have been replaced or rebuilt at some point.
Oh Bill.... read the description......"The car comes with the 383 CI V8 engine and an automatic transmission. The car's Owner is Paul Habura. Paul’s had this car since 2005." Please share a few videos so my audience can slice them up like a loaf of bread!
how much for the nice car ? i must have it! how much ??
Not sure, however hope you're behind the wheel of the right one for you soon!
