Will it Run?!? 1968 Chrysler Newport! Abandoned for Decades!! Stuck 383 Big Block Mopar!

I bought this 1968 New Yorker as part of an online auction some time back. With the help of the Mopar Madman lets see if we can get this thing to run for the first time in several decades! If you'd like to own the car in the as shown condition it can be yours for the low, low price of only $650! As always, thanks for watching!

This show is lame! If you're a Mopar hater, why bother to get one started? I see why there are only 37K subscribers!

Aww you need a hug don't you?

Creative name sparkie.

He hates on all makes and says so. This time it just happens to be a Mopar.

[@noelquintanilla3357]

Seeing this car brings back so many forgotten childhood memories Mr. Mortski. My dad had both a 1968 Newport and a 1968 Imperial Crown in our drive way. Of course the imperial was my mom's though. They Both had my name etched in them. In different places. As an 8 yr old boy back then, I got away with a lot. My dad got so mad at me for scratching his paint. But my mom held me in her arms, told me she loved me, and even gave me a cookie for doing it to her car. She said she will always cherish her sons autograph. Lol. Now fast forward 50 years and wish they were still here for me to call up and ask them if Daddy is still mad at me and momma can I have another cookie.......... 🥺

Friday night with Mortske. So glad to see some second channel content!

[@davidarnette327]

Glad you didn't abandon this channel....even if you are working on a Newport!👍

[@wazzup948]

Finally a MOPAR! I have owned over 80 cars...all different makes. Been a mechanic since the 60's. Have worked on them all, but have 9 MOPARS now and one Chevy (needed something to keep me busy). Have watched you for years...keep up the good vids! Go Duff dog!

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Right on!

[@smarternu]

My brother from another Mother. Yep, still stuck on Mopars, hard to shake what you grew up with. We lived in the golden days. 10 year old chargers for $200, and a quick trip to the junk yard for a C body big block and trans. I miss those days.

[@JeffKopis]

This looks a lot like my 68 Fury III. Exact same color, 4 doors. Originally a 383 car, but the 2nd owner built a 440 for it, .484" cam, 9.5 to 1 forged, big Holley, Hooker headers, Flowmasters. He also added a 3000 stall converter and 4.10s! It was a monster! I lived next door for 4 years. He blew the trans, parked it, and eventually gave it to me.

[@George-dx9nc]

I rented a Fury ll or lll like that.....at 70 or 80 mph if ya hit the gas it would raise the front end and fly like you wouldn't believe!!!

[@davidcarroll8533]

He called you Gomer. That is classic

[@renchjeep]

Man, that sucks. I'm not a Mopar guy, but that's a shame the ol 383 HP didn't make it. Damn mice! I hate those bastards. Nice try, Mortske. Can't win 'em all, man. Take care, and stay cool!

[@h33ls_up]

This is what I’ve been patiently waiting for, im sure there’s been “where tf has your second videos been?!?!?” Thank you sir

[@moremortskerepair4354]

More to come!

[@patrickmidiri1543]

My Uncle had 68 Newport and my Brother currently has one, 1966. I always loved the 383, great engine. Another awesome video. Mort nice surprise for a Friday night. Have great weekend.

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Right on

[@abcsd1254]

The fact that it was on More Mortske I knew it wasn’t going to end well but still glad to have a second video. At least you got to see some pleasurizers

[@Hairdohead]

Gonna set an alarm so I’ll remember to watch this at work tomorrow because otherwise I’ll completely forget 💰

[@tyhogue8316]

My brother had one and I loved it! So nice to see the Madman again, and of course it’s always good to see you and Duff.😊

[@moremortskerepair4354]

Thanks again!

[@kb9oak749]

I had a Plymouth Scamp with a locked up 318. It went to rest in the pasture for 10 years until I decided to put a battery in it. It fired up reluctantly so I raced it around the back 40 to finish it off. Good times.

Glad to see the 2nd channel content again. Can’t win em all but definitely enjoy them all. 💪

[@johnhouseholder7682]

Sometimes even if you don’t get it running it’s a car that someone watching had one or knew someone who had one that’s why I liked this particular one my dad had one very similar 67 Newport .thanks John from Arizona p.s. it’s nostalgia.

[@jisidrocapetillo1281]

What hell yeah brought the second channel back!! Loving it!!

[@billhooper85]

What? Mortske Friday night with a beer in my left and a wrench in my right dreams do come true 😅

Thanks Man for putting up with the Mortske Cheers too you, Thanks Guys and Thumbs Up!...

Our pleasure!

[@johnhpalmer6098]

Had to watch this on a Tuesday morning as I had the base pillared sedan in blue. It was the base 383, 2 Barrel carb. It did not have factory air, but did have a non working AirTemp under dash unit however. It was my first car in HS in the early 80's. Lots of great memories of it. Still dream of it every so often over the past 40+ years. Scrapped it in the summer of '83. The body was much better than yours however as the back was all straight and nice. No, it was all weathered and the front end sagged some, the muffler was almost a total delete, however some bailing wire and tin coffee cans kind sorta helped the poor muffler along. It did smoke a little, but ran. Belong to an elderly maternal grandmother of good friends when she decided to stop driving at the time. This was a nice look at what was a nice car at one time, but sadly, too far gone, thanks to the mouse houses inside the motor.

[@stevehartz4615]

I loved those cars cool ,simple, dependable, affordable.

[@BreakFixRepeat]

Well hells bells. Long time no see!

[@ksokie63]

Hey Mortske👋, short day and no ride. That's the way it goes sometimes. Thanks for sharing.

[@tcanthony2]

I like these failure videos. Glad to see the second channel coming back to life.

[@gordonwelcher9598]

I am really happy to finally see a Mopar. It has been a while. One of the finest cars. If you run into problems you could try asking Mark Worman, he is the award winning world expert on Mopars. He is also an awesome dancer, he could teach you some radical moves that you could incorperate in your videos. I am sure your viewers will be crazy about it.

[@kenb5279]

Wow. A "numbers matching" 1968 Newport. Amazing. That was my first car in Newport Custom trim. Awesome ride. That 383HP and the 2:76 gear ratio will surely bury that speedometer. Enjoy.

[@chriscoccia2353]

I had a gold 68 Newport 2 door with the 383. I paid $50 for it, put a muffler on it, and drove it thousands of miles. That was a great driving car, wish I still had it. Fender lights and skirts were standard equipment

[@1911MikeinOregon]

Looking at the core support from the engine bay side,, that thing is a work of art. They went to a lot of effort mounting the radiator so it was basically a sealed unit.

[@spencerbussey3970]

Finally, some More Mortske Repair!

It does!

[@smilinacha]

I remember when I was a kid, we’re talking 1971-72-ish, my dad came home one day in a Plymouth Sports Fury. It had them driver-facing blinker indicators at the front of each fender and at that time I thought that was the coolest thing in the world😆.

383 HP is a good motor, my 68 satellite sport had that motor. In my dodge Monaco.

[@CJrun]

Big picture, I would call this a win. Yeah, the car not so much, but the video itself was a win. MM was a fit for at least occasional tag team. I get that he has a job, but he lifted the product. Good personality, lifts the low spots, and brings some knowledge. Think about it. MM is an asset.

[@brennanstanford1216]

I heart caption obvious!!! He is my favorite.

[@franklinrhodevelt6441]

You are a good man, Mortske.

I've been WAITING for one of you lovely KZbinr car dudes (Actually I LOVE Mortske BEST!!!) to finally grab one of these awesome 1960's Chrysler's that ISN'T a Muscle car! I Love these styled Chromed beauties!!! Now I guess I'm just SOL. Period.

[@keymaker_coils686]

I drove a 71' 2door Newport when my 71 Charger was down. Bought it for the donor 325hp 383, 727, and 8 3/4 but ended up loving that 19.5' long land yacht. It would lay a number 11 a mile long!

[@johncrichton4341]

This video had me spittin beer. It's like Abbott and Costello run a garage!!!

[@terryerickson4786]

I bought a 1968 Plymouth Fury lll with a slant six in it. It was a 2-door hardtop. Same color as yours but it had a (factory painted) black hardtop. Very cool old car. Not a dent or rust spot on it also.

[@kennethsonier1766]

Good afternoon from Cape Cod ⚓ I believe the Mopar mad man told you you're wasting your time with the lube 😞 the mice certainly had their fun with that engine, what a mess. I know it didn't get to run but it was fun watching you guys working on it. I learned a long time ago to stay away from mopars, even though I'm driving a 97 Dodge pick up, with my eyes averted and my head hung low 😂 keep up the great work ✌️🇺🇲

Actually these Chryslers are fun vehicles, but this one is just shot from all the mouse house inside the engine. Like that was a real surprise waiting to happen. Even as a parts car it could save something that is more worth saving. Mopar Madman was a real helper, love his jokes.🤣

I had a '69 Newport Custom, with the 383, with the scungy 2 bbl Carter carb,. Bought it from the first owner, with 64000 miles on it. Went well on hard acceleration, but backfired and surged on light throttle. Got sick of it after replacing the distributor and carb, but it was a rocket ship on fast driving... I should never have sold it. It would pull 120 mph on the weird upside-down speedo.
