Sharp looking car! I have an all dark brown '81 standard New Yorker. A big problem with these cars is that the moulded vinyl parts are starting break down and get that sticky coating on them. My dash and arm rests have been slowly getting sticky over the last few years, and the car has been garaged since 1999.

I vaguely remembering hearing of a product for that very issue. Let me look around in my files and see if I can find it.

It would be great if there was something to fix that. I have the same issue on many of the older cars too. "69-'70 Chrysler dashes seem to be particularly bad for it.

????? My '79 New Yorker has none of those problems mentioned....nor does my '78 NY'r St regis Coupe or my '79 Dodge Magnum G.T.

 

[1978 NYB]

I've had a problem with 2 dash pads B2 blue fading to brown.....like the blue dye just disappears on my 78 NYB.

 

[polara71]

I love those especially in that color scheme

As far as that sticky Surface is concerned, a thorough cleaning with Spirit or isopropyl could help, but I can only speak for some sort of rubber/plastic used on a European GM make. A try at some inconspicous spot is recommended.

Maybe it depends on the color, or if the car was garaged since new. None of my cars have been garage kept since new, only while under my ownership. I have some NYB dashpads in my parts collection that are starting to get sticky also. A tan one and a green one. The 81 NY'er interior is dark brown like the one in the add. Have an 81 Imperial dash in dark blue that's going bad too.

The tan pad in my ‘75 has been fading for a while too. Almost the whole top of the pad is brown now. Luckily you don’t see it while in the car, the way its angled.

Mr C pointed out a while ago, that the black pads are the only ones that don’t do it in the formals. Maybe the black ones are molded in black plastic/vynal?? Idk..

SEM will be my cure in the future

What a nice car. Love the color combo, lots of options, would definatsly like to own this as a daily driver. From new I always found the rear door design with the opera window/ small window design a bit odd, but it wouldn't stop me from driving it.

$2200 Cdn.... that's almost free in U.S. currency. I've always liked these models.

I hope someone here can get it.

I really liked that car.
And then I started seeing 214 components in their prime failure age.

Do tell! I like it allot.. what (214) components are you referring too?

Its a metaphor for anything mechanical or electrical on that car with that age.

I remember hearing about this too, was thinking goo gone?

 

[Carmine]

Oh lord this is killing me. I love that combo, plus weird/unloved, plus I loved those as a dumb little kid. (I had a few catalogs where I'd pretend to check the order boxes.)

Oh yeah I have a complete running '00 small block/overdrive combo and a 3.55 axle that would wake that baby right the hell up.

I keep telling myself "if this is still out there in February..."

Now see my other thread where I complain about no space. I wish I could care about exotic crap I couldn't afford like a Ferrari, but I know I'd have more fun playing with an R-body.

Those CMX wheels were an oppition on these cars! Mine did not have the sun roof or wheels, also had a 79 5th and 80 Mirada CMX Ttop years ago, Wish I could have this one!
