Great find
SELLER DESCRIPTION:
i would be curious how long it "sat" at any one time? whatever the answer, it would NOT stop me from buying it if I was in the market for it
hope it finds a good home.
You are looking at one of the finest examples of a 100% original 1970 Chrysler New Yorker with ONLY 9700 ORIGINAL MILES! No, that is not a typo.
This car is fully loaded with power windows, power locks, power seat, am/fm, and cold A/C just to name a few. It is powered by the legendary 440 big block that starts and runs like brand new!
Nearly everything is original to the car with the exception of belts, hoses, and tires. The paint is 100% original and is in very presentable shape considering its age. The interior is an absolute time capsule! Sitting down in the drivers seat is as close as I have ever felt to traveling through time.
The condition of every little detail of the interior looks as if it is sitting in a Chrysler showroom in 1970. Going down the road, it feels like a pontoon boat on wheels. Everything is tight, crisp, and precise. Turn signals cancel, no flat spots during acceleration, and it stops straight as an arrow. All metal is 100% original and rust free!
You will never find another example quite like this one. Priced for a quick sale at $9500 OBO I am listing this car for a friend, he does not text so please call.
neat car. can't say a bad thing about this one .. only "concern" is it was only driven (on average) a couple hundred miles a year.This car is fully loaded with power windows, power locks, power seat, am/fm, and cold A/C just to name a few.

It is a very sweet car, but you're right, a sitting car is a car with many unseen problems.SELLER DESCRIPTION:

Lovely car, but I find it difficult to believe it's a 9738 miles time capsule. To me it looks a very well kept 109 thousand mile car. The engine seems to have has been off the car, it looks too clean & new compared to the air cleaner, and the A/C compressor. It may have had a respray, too. - All of which degrades it in any way. It's a lovely car. I wish I had a bigger garage.

There was a very similar specimen for sale on eBay in early July. It looked the same except had a white roof. I think that one was from Vermont. It was gone within a week.
Could it really have drum brakes on it? The master cylinder is for a drum brake model. Power disc brakes were an option in 1970 so it is possible. Both the air cleaners and a/c compressors on those cars had what seems to have been a single thin layer of black paint with no primer on them, so they didn't hold up well in humid climates. The valve covers do look a bit too nice, though, so maybe someone pulled them to replace the cork gaskets and resprayed them as 330dTA said. I would like to see the underside if I were interested in trying to buy it. That might be telling too.

Power front disc brakes were standard on a 1970 New Yorker. Somebody replaced the master cylinder with an incorrect one. A long time ago, as the present one seems to have a veil of rust on it.
BTW, there indeed were a batch of 200 1970 New Yorkers that were built with drums up front, with 'standard transmission', and no power options. This was due to the (then) new computerized ordering system failing. But these cars were kept within the company. ("Chryslers Private Hard Times", Fortune magazine, April 1970, pp. 102-105 & 146.)

One of the manual trans cars would have been so fun to have

According to the 1970 Chrysler Dealership Data Book of New Yorker, disc brakes were optional, see below the attached list of standard and optional equipment.
The brake booster is slightly different on cars with disc brakes that those with drums. This one looks like to have the booster which was used with drum brakes.
Your statement that disc brakes were standard on a 1970 New Yorker is correct if speaking only about those New Yorkers which were imported to Finland in 1970 by our local Chrysler dealer. They all were having discs "as standard".

It looks like it didn't meet reserve - meaning it didn't sell...................unless it happened outside of Ebay and you had knowledge of that........
