Where are you moving to in Florida?

The AM radio in my '65 New Yorker works exactly as it would have in 1965. I never turn it on, because the only thing on AM radio plays these days is conservative talk radio or mariachi music, neither of which I can stand to listen to.

Welcome to the site! Here's my '67 Newport Custom, 383 2bbl. I bought it out of Columbus, OH 6 years ago, as you see it, for $1250. I put another 6-7K into it. The site has been an invaluable resource for me and the Newport and my '65 New Yorker.

Thank you, Jim.

Thanks to everyone who responded to my post. I loved the "Mopar replacement smoke" post, that was hilarious. None of the electrical functions on the car are disabled; all lights, fan, wipers etc. work just fine. As I looked under the dash with bright light and mirror, I could not see any...

Was that car a 6-window Town Sedan?

Thanks gents, I'll give the videos a look.

I truly love my 65 New Yorker 6-window town sedan, the 413 is excellent. But I am sure that the 66 has the same feel and power, so it's a tossup. In your case, since the 65 is the coupe, I'd choose that car. Cheers!

Hey Polara71, exactly where are all the Imp for sale? I really want a '72.

I'm late seeing this thread, but yes that is a very nice job of making/installing the new seatcovers. Nice materials selection as well! I'm having my '65 NYer seats redone soon, using some NOS Chrysler fabric I bought from a guy on ETSY. SMS wanted an arm and leg for the factory material, and...
