1966 Chrysler New Yorker barn find

[68'barracuda]

Found this in my home town... A 1966 Chrysler New Yorker 4 dr 6 window sedan. It's got power windows, and a power bench seat, no rust or damage in the entire car, it has a 440 and 727 combo but it's been sitting where I picked it up science 1983. Plastic was still on the seats it's in great condition. I'll post pictures later

Sounds like a good score! I hope the motor still turns.

Congrats, cool car. Slam her to the ground, my .02... They just beg to be slammed.

Congratulations and thanks for saving it. I always liked that roof style, it's different and reduces the c-pillar blind spot.

Found this pic and it's appearance does benefit from a little lowering IMO...

Welcome. It's always cool to come across nice barn finds. Only doors should be slammed.

Gary is right, Ross is wrong......again

 

[detmatt]

This is definitely one that looks good low, what's your plan for it?
maybe Ross can give you some pointers on the intricacies of posting pics and lowering that slab.

 

[polara71]

You are absolutely no help Matt

Good find for sure. My first car was a blue 66 four door 440. I remember the steering wheel was a transparent blue. Big back seat too...

Not even them if you ask me. How are your door pull straps.

Nice find, I have a hardtop 66 NewYorker, Mine has 70K, and has been sitting from '79 until we bought it in spring of 2013.

Got running over the past couple of months, will run at about 1500+ rmp but will not idle because there is something wrong with the carb( its on its 4 rebuild). It suonds great and the smoking has almost quit, The motor was nearly locked. I went to pull it out of the shop and the radiator internally blew, it sucked a radiator full of water in the trans, i have cleaned it out and it will drive if it will stay running. This weekend I plan to put a new carb and see what it does.

I also buffed the paint and cleaned the interior, the paint looks ok for a 49 year old car but the interior is IMMACULATE with only a rip in the seam on the drivers seat!!! It is a Power steering, Power brake( all redone also), Power window(all work), vacuum trunk realese, a/c, power Bench seat, nad a 440 hi-pro engine FACTORY.

As soon as i get it Going down the road and idling it will be for sale, let me know if anybody's interested?
