First Mopar

[Mikahthegreek]

Happy 4th everyone! My names Mikah.
I bought my first Mopar yesterday, a 1978 Chrysler New Yorker. 85k miles. The 440 was rebuilt and stroked out to 500 with aluminum Indy heads. built 727 trans, Dana 60 rear end with 3:53. With disc brake conversion. I drove it about 400 miles from Chicago home to Michigan. I love it, everything works, cruise control and nice cold AC but an hour before I made it home the power steering pump took a dump. So unfortunately that's the only bad thing that happened. I haven't been on a forum since my B body Caprice days.

Welcome from NYC… you’re certainly in the right place to find out everything you want to know about your car. Drive it, love it and enjoy it…

Post more pictures when you get a chance, the interior, etc.

You just got an honorable mention in the last C-Body thread.
