The winning bidder has a feedback rating of over 2300. My bet is we'll see it back up for sale at a classic car dealer for $18,999. After of course some armorall and doctored photos.

It went for a decent price, not discouragingly low, and not unrealistically high. Of course, what really counts is finding a good home. Who knows - maybe we'll even hear from the new owner.
Photos on this auction were quite good, I thought. Hopefully it won't show up on some flipper site for twice the price, we shall see.

Beautiful car, color, options package, etc. My grandfather's 1967 was yello wwith black top and green interior as I recall. It was 4 door sedan. You have so many options. I am surprised it does not have cornering lights but other than that it is a fabulous example. I wish I had space for it but have a 68 300 convertible instead. I would like to have yours though.

The 66 New Yorker is also great looking. It even has the initial year disc brakes that were not even available on Imperial until 1967 Wonderful color combination
THe auction stated cornering lights were present on these, although on 67's it's hard to tell...…
Mine doesn't have cornering lights but I recently picked up a turn signal switch that accommodates them, in case I ever want to "add" them. This car has really "sold" me on having a sedan - you get SOLIDness no hardtop gives you.

My grandfather insisted on sedan body style (he was a small town Chrysler dealer) because of wind noise until forced to go to hardtops in 72 as that was what he could get in the Imperial

That's a pretty New Yorker!! I agree about the sedans, although not as sporty, they are more solid and much less likely to have rattles, in my opinion

Dad liked the elegant look of a sedan on a high line C body. The hardtops look nice when all the windows are rolled down but otherwise most folks don’t even notice the difference. As the manufacturers learned how to seal the frameless windows better they became quieter with less wind resistant than sedan frames. That frame at the b pillar was prone to catch the wind.
I think the white top was a popular sedan option then, as I see a good number of them.

At that price, yess, we might see this one turn up at a broker - but hope not.
I wonder why it has the older AFB-type air cleaner on it? 67 440 K-code should have a Holley 4160, or sometimes got the AVS, but both carbs are 5-1/8" neck, this aircleaner is for the 4-1/2" neck of a 2-barrel or AFB. ???

Is that a rear defogger? It looks complicated, but might be due to sharing space with the 67-only flow-thru ventilation system.
Rear seat heat has air intake from the 6x9 speaker hole, and runs that air through a small heater core (using antifreeze plumbed from the engine block), and the air exits out at your feet at the back seat bottom.
You can see one of the heater hose connections on the left side of the blower housing. The ribbed hose with the insulating goo is for the flow through I believe.

I only saw the one heater hose, and where it enters is pointing right where the fan would be, so I couldn't reconcile that as having a heater core.
Yes, the goo'd hose is for the flowthru, and it connects to the trunkfloor in the kickup over the rear axle. Based on the 67 300 I parted out years ago, there are 2 of those hoses.
