Not Mine, of course. Is orange the correct colour for this engine?

ALL ORIGINAL showroom quality 1966 New Yorker with only 16,000 miles!

engine is a 440 V8 with a single 4 barrel carb. (NOT REBUILD STATUS, low kms)
RWD (rear-wheel drive), automatic 3-speed gearbox.
Disc brakes all around.

Heres a good site for specs if you dont know the car: Specs 1991 BMW 850i automatic

Im the second owner, my uncle was the original owner. It has been babied all its life and only taken to parades, shows and sunday drivings. Not a spec of rust anywhere on it. Not a single bit of bondo, rust repair, dents, damages etc whatsoever anywhere on the body or frame. The inside is mint condition, from the dash and original radio to the door leather and floor carpeting! Everything runs like the first day out of factory. Always been meticulously maintained with best products and run at least once a week.

Part of the Vintage Car Club of Canada.

Serious buyers only. Test drives with cash in hand. Price is not yet set so feel free to make offers. Nothing below 15,000 CAD.

Can come view anytime.

That looks more like a faded red to me. I am not sure what year the Canadian production stopped using red, so it could possibly be correct, but not on the master cover.
 
I was reading that Canadian production 318s were red but this is a 440. Was the New Yorker even made in Canada? Pretty sure mine is US made.
 
I don't get a 16k original vibe from it. 116k well maintained perhaps.

Odd collection of options too. Tiltoscope AM/FM and power seat but manual windows.

Paint looks recent but seems darker than under the trunk lid. Looks to be the same colour as mine.

Little on the high side I'd say. Low optioned but some interesting ones were chosen but no AC. I would have ditched the high mount brakelight on the repaint...

He is shooting high with that price, it does look nice though just not 16,000 nice
 
Nice 6 window sedan.

Don't like the 3rd brakelight at all!

I agree he'll have it for a long time at that price.
 
I absolutely adore the interior of these '65 and '66 New Yorkers. Beautifully conceived. It's so classy, real wood on the dash, and fine cloth & leather seats. No wonder they broke all Chrysler sales records in those years.

About the odometer reading; for my part, I think the vendor is stating the truth. It really has 16K on the clock. It has only has 5 digits, after all.
:lol:
 
Canadian-built Mopars in the 50s and 60s had oddities that their US-built brethren did not. One of those was red big block engnes. It's likely from the factory. Odd, but cool. His price is waaaaayyyyy out there, for certain. Nice car, regardless.

That looks like a really nice car, but if it really has just 16 thousand miles on it I'm not sure if I would buy it. I'd rather it had 40 to 50,000 on it so I wouldn't feel guilty about putting miles on it. lol
It looks like it has a paint touch up on the firewall, unless Canadian cars came with green wiper motors!
