Yep, it's the same one. I was lucky to get it. Most people love the patina and I didn't mind it for a while, but it was repainted once in a lighter shade and does require some rust repair. It will be its original colours. I'll be starting a new thread soon. Hate to detract from this beautiful cars intro.
For sure..text me sometime..403 200 6835 Rob..all the best
With so few miles on the New Yorker, it probably still has the original carburetor, which would have been a Carter AVS 4966 model (there is a tag usually on the rear of the carburetor at the top of the airhorn that is held on with one of the screws - it was blue that year). It would say 4966 on it. Here are a couple photos of what it should look like.
Generally, I have found these carburetors very reliable and perform well. Flooding of the carburetor would most likely be due to a sticking needle or perhaps less likely, sunken floats. Sometimes if a car sits a few months with ethanol laced gasoline in it, as the fuel evaporates, leaving the floats in an open position, trying to start it later when gum has caused the needles to stick open, you could get flooding. Most often, though, the needles stick closed making starting at all a problem.
1971 New Yorkers are one of my favorite models ever. Mine has the Chrysler road wheels on it, and to my eyes, it looks great with them. I tried to find a photo of mine, but was unable to find one with the road wheels showing in a useful way. To me, a car as original as yours and with so low miles should be kept as original as possible. You could use Rallye wheels or Magnums, but those were not factory options on the fuselage C bodies, and look just wrong to me. Mine also has the white interior and 38K miles on it.

Super nice car..thanks again for the info....do you happen to know a good carb rebuild shop in Calgary?..looking to have the carter rebuilt this winterWith so few miles on the New Yorker, it probably still has the original carburetor, which would have been a Carter AVS 4966 model (there is a tag usually on the rear of the carburetor at the top of the airhorn that is held on with one of the screws - it was blue that year).

Ditto. The Mopar Sunroof Registry thanks you for posting your tag - cool stuff.

First congrats on owning such a beauty! Road wheels are out there if you are patient and IMHO the only option worth putting on that car.
I live in Southern California, so I am unfamiliar with Calgary experts. The AVS carburetors are really easy to rebuild if you decide to do it yourself.

Would talk to Graham over at Cochrane Dodge...shure one of his guys can do it...hes a member here...Dobalovr
I saw that you posted your fender tag over on my restoration thread so I took the liberty of decoding it for you. Looks like a highly optioned ride you have. Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks I forgot to do that. It's discussed so much I overlooked it for anyone who might be unfamiliar with these 3 digits

So many post these numbers as unknown. I presume it's because the number isn't part of the general on line decoders. Over the years I've tried to remember the basics that apply to Cs of my interest.

I think you had a later post on your New Yorker than this one, but I could not find it. Nonetheless, I noticed it appears you have done a video on your beautiful New Yorker since this thread, as you now have some road wheels on it (apologies if you have posted it before):
youtube video 1971 chrysler new yorker - Bing video
You have the later road wheel centers generally found on the Formals rather than the earlier models such as your 1971. Maybe in time you might be able to find a set of those.
A gorgeous car! And I love the color.
