A GM master at that...The brake master and booster don't seem to be original either. Interesting to see which parts have been replaced on such a low-mile car

Yeah reading through the FB comments on the blue New Yorker I came across this comment:All of a sudden, the hermetically sealed '78 NYBs are coming out of the woodwork....

I wonder if these cars were bought as "investments", kind of like a lot of other cars over the years. Think about it, the last big Chrysler and often these seem to be late builds."Lately a handful of these are resurfacing with absurdly low mileage..."
Very possible. In 1976 I was working in a body shop in NY and we did the bodywork for an Oldsmobile / Cadillac dealership. 76 was the last year for the Eldorado Convertible and there were going to be no more drop tops. The owner of the dealership ordered I think 3 of them all loaded in popular colors and put them in storage as an investment. Not sure what ever happened to them but as John said 50 years of investing that money in the stock market would've been a lot more profitable and no storage costs and hassle.I wonder if these cars were bought as "investments", kind of like a lot of other cars over the years.

True. I know of quite a few.Not many Mopars but GM's and imports.put them in storage as an investment.
They obviously could not stand not having cassette/cd/mp3 capability for all the long trips in and out of the garage!Is this true?

"With that low mileage, why would the radio be switched for a 90s unit?"
