I've been into Mopars for most of my life. I currently own a 1968 Road Runner and 1975 Scamp. I had a 1969 300 years ago, but always loved the C-Bodies! I'm a member on FABO, and FBBO.

Thanks for the welcome.
Here's a C-Body memory: Back in 1991, a college buddy, Ross, graduated and moved out to Mechanicsburg, PA. He sold his 73 Imperial and bought a CLEAN 1967 Sherwood Green New Yorker. Ross told me about an all Mopar show out in Carlisle PA, a short drive from his house.
I had been into Mopars for a while at the time, I was 23 yrs old and owned a 68 GTX I picked up for $1100 - it was my daily driver. She had a '69 383 in her as the original motor was long gone, a B&M Street and Strip ratchet shifter and 3.55's - Not very clean, bondo, red, and a fun car!
1992, I drove out to Mechanicsburg and attended the second annual Chryslers at Carlisle, as it was known back then.
I stayed at Ross' house that he shared with his wife Maria. We went cruising in that 67 New Yorker all around central and south central PA whenever I would visit during the summer months in the early and mid 90's. Blazing down country roads in Lancaster, listening to Heavy Metal and old Rock 'N Roll. Great times, great car!
I've only missed a couple years of the Chrysler show at Carlisle - in my opinion, the best Mopar show in the world!

Belated welcome! It's a (very) long shot, but I have to try: do you remember either of these two 1971 Monacos at Carlisle? The GJ4 April Green 2dr was there in 1997, where this photo was taken:


The other is Medina, the GY9 2dr that I now own. I was told by the person from whom I bought it that the previous owners (two brothers) had bought it at "a big show in Pennsylvania" in the late 1990's or early 2000's. It has a white (V1X) vinyl top and white (H6XW) vinyl buckets with a buddy seat. It was remarkably rust-free when I bought it, so must have been pristine at the time:

Hey there! I'm sorry but I can't recall. It's been so long. I'm impressed with your detective work and I hope you find out!
Thank you for the follow-up! If you took and kept photos, and if you happen to feel like going down memory lane, please let me know in case you find something :)
