NOT MINE 1971 NY FB 4dr U code

[saforwardlook]

Yes, I did have the California version of the VEC emissions tag reproduced by PCG for my New Yorker with the 440HP engine. It took some arm twisting and coming across with considerable cash but my rare New Yorker with a very interesting history was worth it IMO.

I will post a photo of the body code plate soon.

I just wanted to mention that when I was working with Mike at Performance Car Graphics he was really good to work with in reproducing that particular label for me.

Im in the process of completing the restoration of my 71 U code New Yorker. Should be finished in 26.

Do you have a thread on your restoration?

My restoration thread is my welcome page. You can find it here in Ayilar's post on other U code Chryslers.

In addition to the above CH43U1C246737 (FQ5) and to @sixpkrt 's CH23U1C152920 (GY8 of which you are also aware, see here and here), I have:

CH43U1C163744 (TX9) -- see here
CH23U1C167133 (GJ4 owned by @RWCearley ) -- see here

--> Did you save the info (including the tag) about the GT8 sedan on eBay?

PS: There is also a Newport that @cuda hunter and I almost bought this fall: CL41U1C156640 -- see here

Sorry, no I don't have any pics of that EBay car or the tag.

U Code 440s are very rare in civilian C bodies, especially luxury New Yorkers.

This is the third 71 NY U code I am aware of. The other 2 are the well known coupe owned by a member here and a Tahitian Walnut 4 door sedan that I saw on Ebay in the early 2000s.

The whole car should be saved, really since its such a rare beast. I don't think the body looks so bad, but then again I'm crazy and since I grew up in the rust belt, anything that does not have softball sized rot holes through it looks save-able to me, LOL!

I ran across a ‘71 U-code four-door Chrysler in a local junkyard, back in the 80s and bought the engine. I don’t remember if it was a NY or a Newport. I sold the engine years ago.
