In the 60's 70's my dad had a 1962 Newport 9 passenger station wagon with a 361 and he put a 300 grille on it.

Hi, I agree with Keith, I saw this car at the St Charles meet near Chicago, the work on it was simply outstanding, a lot better than many restorations. .

He was deservedly very proud of it , ---I think the rams were chromed!

I get this kind of thing, I also put a G grill on my restored wagon...! He inspired me....

Wow - I always wondered where this car ended up! Curious how you learned of it as I didn’t see it at the Pasadena meet.

Years ago I spoke to the fellow who built the car but I don’t remember his name but I’m sure someone in the club knows. He had sold it some time earlier and it was for sale at that time for $69k or so (I think it was in Hemmings.) if I recall correctly, the fellow that built it had some strong feelings about some of the grief he got from some purists.

It’s a beautiful car and I think it was done really well, including the 440 with short rams, the 727 trans and 300M seats et al (although I would have put 15x7 wheels with G caps on it instead of the later Imperial “snowflake” wheels which it looks like it still has.)

If the car sold for $32.25k , the new owner got one smoking hot deal.

Someone at the 300 meet in Pasadena told me they knew who built this wagon. The current owner would like to talk to them and get some information about it.
