Why do I keep posting pictures of affordable cars? Like many, the depth of my disposable income resides in the “kiddie pool” territory for the moment, which is not good if you have the desire to build a stash of usable, drivable collector cars. As was the case with the Spring Meet, the Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle did not disappoint those on a budget.
Such as this 1961 Plymouth Fury. Powered by the 361 Golden Commando, the detail-free window card featured a $6,500 asking price.
Then there was this 1965 Chrysler New Yorker sedan. With just 50,000 showing on the odometer, a ton of power option and a bunch of new mechanical parts present (including dual exhaust), the 413-cube powered Pentastar carried an asking price of $7,950 or best offer.
Right next to the ‘65 was this 1966 Chrysler Newport. Nearly equally loaded – except for the 383 under the hood here – the same seller was asking for the same $7,950 for this two-door hardtop.
If that wasn’t enough, you should have been there to check out this 1978 Chrysler Newport. Equipped with a 440, air, cruise control, power seat and an advertised 66,000 original miles, $5,995 – or likely a lesser, yet reasonable, offer – would have landed this Mopar in the sold column (wonder if it did, actually).
Finally, there was this now rarely seen 1982 Rampage. Though terribly short on details (none, in fact), the $7,500 price tag was an eye catcher.
So let’s quickly review: The ‘61 Fury, ‘65 New Yorker and ‘66 Newport were all priced according to current value in their presented condition. It could be argued that the ‘78 Newport was a touch high, but still quite reasonable, whereas the Rampage was quite a stretch. But then again, when was the last time you saw a like-new Rampage?
