Hey guys, Im working on a deal with my Uncle for his 66 New Yorker 2 door sedan. Its a 440, column auto, was 2.73 now its 3.23 with a positraction of some kind (not sure if its sure grip or not) . Its got A/C, PW,PL,PS,PA,power buckets, AM/FM, its also got the Sentinel system. Color is Saddle Bronze, black interior, and it had the black vinyl on the C pillar. The car hasnt run in 5 years, hasnt been licensed in 15 years, the interior is out of it, BUT is has been recovered, would need door panels, dash, and rear package tray though. Exterior is pretty straight, it does need the lower rear 1/4s replaced, and a little above the wheel wells, all the chrome is there, and all the aluminum lower trim is there, as well as the skirts. Trans was freshly rebuilt awhile ago, but doesnt have many miles since.
Whats a car like this worth in the real world? I want to buy it to make a fun cruiser out of it. Update the suspension/steering/braking, maybe a little mild engine work, nice exhaust and sound system, nice wheels, do the body work and paint it either the Saddle Bronze or Turbine Bronze, possibly some other variation of the bronze/copper, and eventually have a fun car to load up with people and go for a drive, I hate when cars arent driven, although we have one already that doesnt get driven much lol. I want a car I can play around a little with and not worry about affecting the value like our 71 GTX.
I have the fender tag codes and some pictures if someone wants to know more. Im thinking that its a fairly rare car, but not like that GTX. I dont really know that much about the C bodys, always been more interested in the A/B/Es but I must be getting old and the idea of a hot rod with some luxury really intrests me haha. Thanks in advance for any and all replies!
