I HATE to see ANY car like that.
Does anyone think the motor would turn free?
Looks doubtful, but with a hood on the car maybe.
A few parts there.
Are the U codes uncommon on the New Yorkers? 4 door none the less?
I know I have not seen a U or T on a Newport but have seen a few new yorkers.

It might. The 73 Polara I just got sat for over 40 years and it turns over. Texas where this one is is almost as dry as AZ so good chance!

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!

A blue California emissions tag....
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
