That's such a cool ride! Wagons have always been my favorite cars. I daily drive a Hemi Magnum that's slightly modded and I wouldn't trade it for anything! Except maybe an old wagon!

You will have to come to the spring show and swap at the Packard Proving Grounds at the end of April.

That would be great Rip. I thought it would be ready for the meet last November....Wrong!
We need to locate someone with a 67 Red/white rag top Sport Fury to join us.
I'll have my people contact your people.... Wait.... We have the same people.

Yes! And we could do lunch!

I will for sure!! I haven't been to a car show since my grandfather passed about 10 years ago so its definitely time!

Does anyone know if I'll have to get new window trim after taking the vinyl top off the New Yorker? I know it's tucked under the trim so I'm wondering if I'll have to find all topess trim? Thanks in advance!

 

[cbarge]

You can re-use your trim no problem.

Thank you! The thought of having to buy all new trim had me stressed!

 

[NewYorker]

Can someone please tell me what you think a realistic price for a front bumper and left quarter would run me? I really need to get them eventually but don't want to pay too much.

 

[detmatt]

I bet you won’t pay more than $500 for a full quarter that includes the trunk extension, outer wheelhouse and door B-pillar. I had one several years ago and I think as explained and I think I got $350 or $400 for it. A driver quality bumper will be less than a hundred. Unfortunately those parts will probably not be easy to find in good condition here in Michigan. I’d call Murray Park in Ohio when you’re ready. Here’s his website. Cbodies.com

Do you need a quarter or a front fender for the driver side?

AHH sorry front fender for the driver side!

 

[detmatt]

AHH sorry front fender for the driver side!

Ok then, a fender will be much cheaper and easier to source than a whole quarterpanel.

New Yorker,

I have bumper and left front fender in RI. Fender is white, needs paint no rot. Not sure on bumper condition, might have small dent. I would be at no more than $200 for both. If interested let me know and I will get you pics

If you can send me some pictures that'd be awesome! I'd gladly make the drive all the way from MI just to pick em up!

 

[SA67NEWPORT]

OK, Will do. Might take a couple of days. We are supposed to have crappy weather here and its hard for me to get to where the car is during daylight during the week.

Here are some pics of fender and bumper. I have a few more. Rusty spots on fender are not dents just paint failure. there seems to be one small dent right at top of fender well about the size of a nickel. Bumper has no damage but chrome is not perfect on top which is very typical. Please let me know if still interested and if so we can make further arrangements. As you can see the parts are still on the car.
