Mancini Machine… ”permanently closed” (?)

@OldWarHorse300 might have some tricks to share with you, Julian. I suggest you PM him.

Left and right? The bars were pre-tensioned at the factory, in order to reduce the diameter and weight of the bar. Consequently, if you mix them up, the suspension will fail.

OT: I once heard of a bunch of boys to whom you could only give a three foot long piece of an iron rail as a toy. If it was longer, they would break it. If it was shorter, they would lose it.

0.96”, 47” torsion bar was the ”standard suspension” bar in many Chryslers from ’65 to ’71, at least, and possibly in ’72 and ’73 (I haven’t checked on those). A Heavy Duty bar, which was used in AC equipped cars, would have been 0.98” in those years. Later models (’74 to ’78) used sturdier bars.

Nice find. It's the 21st CH23T0C/U0C that I have recorded in 25 years.

That is in the ballpark what they go for around here. Low 20’s to high 20’s. If it needed a lot of work it would still be around 15K. - I’ll see what I can do about the Fender Tag.

Beautiful car, absolutely gorgeous! I need to find that article somehow.

I concur. The '70 engines had a slightly higher compression ratio (9.7 to one versus 8.8 to one) than the '71 engines, so the horsepower rating was slightly higher, too. But what is interesting is the large difference btw the ratings, when it was in net horses. The 1970 U-code had 375 gross, and...

It’s a reasonable offer… at 1650 usd. Drop it into a restoration shop and start tearing up Franklins. Once you get past twelve hundred of them, it will begin to look very nice indeed. It used to be a very nice car.

Allora in miglia, il che significa che l'auto è stata importata dagli Stati Uniti. (Speedo is in miles, which indicates that the car was imported from the US. Not an original ”Europe import” from back in the day.)

I concur, it’s from a 1970 Chrysler.

Get new springs. I got mine (7 leaf, 1” over stock height) from Espo Springs’n Things. Had to arrange for them to be shipped overseas, took 3 months, and cost some, too. Your purchase will be a lot less tedious. They will drop them to your door in a matter of days.

Ditch the mufflers the TTI come with. They are too loud for a NYer. Replace with Walker 18230 (OEM) or 21856 (’60’s Cadillac muffler). You won’t be sorry.

AMC cap on the left, in the back row.

The AMC ”volcano” cap is very similar. Main difference is it having a slightly thinner profile. Both the Chrysler cap, and the AMC cap have the ”splines” at the top piece. I made a comparative DWG profile view out of both, will have to find the file.

Thank you again, @fc7_plumcrazy. I figured they must have been independents. Perhaps Auto-Becker, and such. So the numbers must have been very low indeed. Perhaps one hand figures.

Thank you for clarification, @fc7_plumcrazy on the AMAG product offerings. BTW, do you know who imported Chryslers to Germany back in the day? Somebody must have done that, as they (at least New Yorker and Imperial) showed up in the Auto Motor und Sport magazine price lists, IIRC in the spring...

Welcome aboard. Red 1971 NYer Coupe sounds good. Photos would be nice.

Ciao Michele, bella macchina. Conosci la sua origine? Dalla Svizerra? È il tachimetro in chilometri? (Ha una foto di panello del tachimetro?)
