Agree. Like the car, but the seat covers don't looks like they belong.

An original model with A/C and all power would be desirable.

They put a tacky "440 V-8" emblem on the fender. Looks like the same font that the gold '72 Fury 2 door (on the Fuselage forum) had placed on it's ash tray door.

They must sell those chrome letters at Kragen, Vato Zone or similar place...

I really like how the car looks on the outside, especially no vinyl roof, not a huge fan of that style dual exhaust. The lack of power options would not be a deal breaker for me, but no A/C would be. I always liked the massive look of the '73, a big hulking mass floating down the road. To hell with aerodynamics.

 

[Newport 66]

I would think that a/c could be added. Not oem but for comfort, vintage air would be good. The lack of power windows is not a big deal personally nor are the seats. If you could negotiate the price down a few hundred it's good to go!! The 440 emblems are stick on I'd bet and could be removed, I'm not totally offended by them.
For the money it looks like a great driver....

 

[Xenon]

The "440" looks like the numbers used like on a 1968 Coronet 440..
The "V8" looks like the type used on things as 318 Darts....

Less options under the hood = easier to change the plugs, especially on the even bank of cylinders. There's not even a heater control valve.

I love that '73 front end!!

Well. . . At least it doesn't have ATC II. . .

 

[Yeahrightgreer]

I think whoever ordered the car originally just wanted the bragging rights to say “I have a Chrysler New Yorker” but didn’t want all the money that came with it.

This would be an appropriate backup car for Kim Jung Un for when his Lincoln is down. A low priced, low optioned black sedan is a perfect fit for his regime's austerity program.

I've been afraid to pull the letters off because I don't want to damage the wood grain sticker behind them. Any suggestions for removing without damage? Or where I could get a new wood grain sticker?

Dental floss. Loop it around the back of the letters and "saw" them off. You may have some residue left, but that should take it off with no damage to the woodgrain.
