1962 New Yorker... New member

[soon2be1]

Hello all, new to this forum and just picked up a one family 1962 Chrysler New Yorker... 62,500 original miles and got it for a steal!!!

Need to find out what fits on this beast...
All below needs to be replaced along with a few things I would like to change

Rear springs and shocks
Front torsion bars and shocks
Brakes (want a disc conversion if it exists)
hood!
power steering and A/C

I deploy in a couple weeks for about 9 months and will be collecting parts along the way... let me know what you know.

Thank you,

Brandon

Welcome to the site from the Motor City! Nice car. I assume what was done to the hood is not reversable?
My Imperial came from your neck of the woods and is virtually rustfree and silver too!

A good body man can fix it. Hopefully he didn't cut a hole in the hood.

Does it have a 413 in her now?

Welcome Aboard and thanks for your service. I really like the wide grille and offset headlights on the early New Yorkers

And that's what's really important. ;-)

My intent is to find a replacement hood, I know good luck. she came factory with the 413 and A/C.

I appreciate the service support. I leave in a couple weeks fro deployment and will be saving to start playing with her. I don't plan on keeping it original but noting going to make a chop job out of her.

Flats vintage burgundy metallic with all chrome trim and bumpers to be gloss black. Engine, maybe new heads but really looking at cam, manifold/carb and cleaning up the old stuff...

Really need to re do the suspension and convert to disc, if that possible with out braking the bank...

Thank you again,

Brandon
