Photographic evidence of a V-8 Chrysler passing a gas station....without stopping : 0
Very nice color and I love the side-marking lights. A bit pricey for non-power windows and non-functioning AC.
 
New "tires and breaks"......
Nice looking, solid New Yorker. But the owner should fix the A/C dor that kinda money.
 
The paint down the side looks kinda dry to me, like a cheap repaint, esp up near the pinstripe.
So looked further - looks like a very faint repaint edge in the trunk jamb.
I could be wrong, I'm only looking at pictures, but doesn't look like original paint.
The seats aren't torn, but they don't look very fresh - they're faded or dirty or something.
And with a 400 in it, some of the mystique is gone.

IMO, not a $13k car, quite a bit lower. Compare to other slab New Yorker 4-drs in the $12-$15k range and you'll see the difference.

Looking down the passenger side, a lot of orange peel is clearly visible, slab sides also look wavy like there might be bondo underneath. Engine compartment is poorly detailed, non working A/C with incorrect engine and it is painted the wrong color. Car is too stock to qualify as a resto mod and too modified to be a collector item. Trunk floor lacks the factory finish and the trunk mat is aftermarket. Note Minnesota plates on first photo, Florida plates on other photos. I agree that it is way overpriced.

I'm not completely sure but I think this New Yorker maybe originally from Lake City MN. One was said to be Miami bound if my memory serves me right. And was listed on eBay the next day near the hammered auction price.
