My great grandma died, which sucks. She did however, leave my uncle her 1965 Chrysler Newport 4 door sedan. It has a 383 4 barrel v8 in it. It has not been driven for the last 10 years, and has 50000 original miles on it. My uncle is now bragging how it would kick my GT's *** . This is really bothering me. I refuse to believe this 35 year old grocery getter could take my GT, but he says I dont know anything about old cars (which I really dont). I said Id race him for 500 dollars, but he said he doesnt want to take my money. Is this car even a remote threat to me? If I lose to him, I'm seriously going to be mad. Does anyone know about these cars/engines? What can I expect?
Thanks.
