For Sale 62 Wagon

not mine

1962 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country - Super RARE 728 ever made

Chrysler was the last car maker to ever make a pillar-less hardtop station wagon and this is one of them! In 1962, Chrysler made roughly 1500 Chrysler New Yorker Town & Country station wagons, 728 were 6 passenger and the rest were 9 passenger. This is a 6 passenger. It has the original Astrodome dash and factory Golden Tone radio. Factory a/c car. Body is very nice with only a couple of very small spots and has patina and thin spots on the roof from the sun which give it character. Has a running 440 installed. Will need the original transmission reinstalled. I have the original 413 that has been sitting. Will need radiator installed(possibly repaired) and new push-button transmission cables sourced as the previous owner cut them not knowing what they were. Does not drive at this time because of this. Would make an awesome AWESOME driver. Probably needs gas tank flushed. George Laurie in Australia makes reproduction taillights as the lenses are both missing. Previous owner removed carpet so will need carpet and some patch panels in floor which are available. Needs metal work in cargo area where spare ti

re goes also.Need gone

Holy god I love that.

For me the only tiing that could make it better is if it was a 61, but I still like it.

detmatt , just getting ready to do a bit of wood and counter work in my little house thats not done yet , lol . well to many projects . but back to my thought . have you seen one of these machines before in your wood life ?

In 1962 the New Yorker models used the Chrysler 300 grille cross bars but they used a different center medallion with the embellished letter "C" rather than the numerals "300". The example in this listing would be more out of the park with the 1960-61 fins, but is still a really nice looking in is own right. And this listing example seems very reasonably priced for the right guy up to restoring such a wagon.

I'm guessing it's a combination rip and crosscut saw. Back in the day I'm betting it was quite useful. It definitely is neat to look at.

I with Matt, Rip and Crosscut.
Interesting that +/- 30 years later, Shopsmith had the 10e and 10er, which was a table saw, lathe, disk sander, drill press. Super cool to watch these mechanical refinements over the centuries.

Shopsmith is another tool that's neat to look at...

Neat to look at, hell to maintain and set up and can be quite scary to use. I restored my grandfather's 54 MK5 a few years back. It had the shaper and band saw with it. It's essentially my only piece of shop equipment other than my compound mitre saw so it's made some serious dust .. well metal shavings as well, honestly.
She fell on hard times recently, I was wire wheeling some fasteners for the Monaco and she stopped cold. Haven't opened her up to figure out the problem but this would be her 2nd catastrophic stop .. with the gilmer belt drive, they can be really hard on the motor. Hoping I can bring her back on line.
First things first tho, Monaco gotta run .. then I can finish wiring my 59 country squire tractor .. uh after I move into the new house and build a dog fence .. I should just sell the shopsmith.

A couple of weeks ago I likely would have been really serious about this wagon. Having just purchased a "tow/work" truck, and having started the restoration of my 61 Fury I'll be a little more "picky" about replacing the Admiral though.

this thing is great almost silent running

, i just cut acrossed a 26'' counter top , in one pass . its got all kinds of ways to cock n angle the table for the table saw part , heres more pics . just so damm slow loading pics now .

 

[pomonamissel]

[pomonamissel]

trackor , here is one , cletrac

that would be mine................I am going to hook the original transmission back up, solder the transmission cable back together (I have both ends) and put a metal sleeve over the repair and put the radiator back in, flush the gas tank, reinstall the driveshaft, do a workover on the brakes and see if I can make her streetable. Hopefully I can have the original 413 rebuilt and resell the 440 that is in there to make back some of the costs. I have quite a bit of the headliner and am going to piece it together with a similar if not identical board type out of an early International Travelall I sourced a while back. I have a set of later C body rallyes I can put on her but I sort of like the Riken wheels I have only seen on TA's and Buick GNX's. The rear seat is good and the front COULD be only partially recovered if the right person were doing the job.....other irons in the fire now but she is hopefully next in line. I am no mechanic or bodyman, I work on computers. But I like to tinker....thanks to all who like her
