That is quite the paint job! I believe the owner was a member here briefly a few years ago.

. Here's his for sale ad from January, now down 2K from then. It has an interior shot...For Sale - 71 New Yorker mild custom.
Having been around and driving when that era of custom paint was in vogue, I kinda like it. Personal preference is a touch more subtle with colors, and I don't care for the pipes coming straight out the back, but I still like it. It looks like first class work too.
Interior is kinda plain which surprises me a little, but it's tasteful... Something that gets lost on other custom cars.

I can certainly appreciate the work that went into this car. One of the issues with making a custom out of an original is that it is much harder to find someone who will pay a premium for a car that matches someone else's preferences when it comes time to sell it.
I much prefer originals and they are much easier to sell when in nice shape. Here is one example of one of those New Yorkers that probably would not be hard to sell at a good price (all it needs are the correct center caps and the owner left the fender skirts off!):

Winchester Gray is one of my favorite colors. I’d almost give a nut for that car. LOL it’s gorgeous

Guilty as charged! In my defense, I was going by memory, and I didn't even look.
I did try finding this one though, with no luck.
It was for sale at least once in the Calgary area, a couple of years ago. Little help?

I know the seller and I've seen this car in person out in the sunshine and the paint work is amazing,definitely top quality work with lots of subtle details that come out in the light.
It is very clear that the guy that did the work is gifted. Not only is the paint/body work really excellent, when I look at the panel gaps, the straightness of the car, the alignment of the bumpers, even the window alignments and not even considering how hard those graphics must be to pull off, this is the work of an artist.
And he picked my favorite car of the era - the 71 Chryslers as his canvas. There isn't a line of that body that I would want to change.
Given the excellence in carrying out so many details, I would be glad to send him a couple door pulls to finish off the interior gratis and I think I have a couple in green even. Just send me a pm with address.

There were a couple colors in 1971 that were hard to distinguish: GA4 and GB2, winchester gray metallic and glacial blue metallic - given the appearance of the 71 New Yorker in the video above, I would guess it is GA4 given its light gray cast compared to GB2.
Here is the one car that got away from me back in 2010 and it is the one that I regret missing the most of any potential sales over the years and it was also GA4:
I also wonder whether Ken's car, the subject of this thread, was originally GJ4 which was another highly desirable color in 1971 and may have given him the inspiriation to go ever further with his green custom color. GJ4 (April green metallic) is also often hard to distinguish from GF2 (amber sherwood metallic) and are also great colors.
