My latest project

[fury1]

Hey guys I haven't been on here in a while. Been very busy with college.. just wanted to post this. My latest buy. '66 Chrysler new Yorker. 4 dr hardtop. with bucket seats and console. it has this vacuum guage. not sure if it's factory or not. Maybe you guys could tell me a little about if from the fender tag? Thanks!

That is one 4-Door worth restoring.

Looks like quite the project.

Very kool car! I love seeing a 4 door hardtop especially with a console! Vacuum gauge looks correct. Tilt/tele too!

It's really not too bad. Just the little bit of rust in the quarters above the skirts. One spot on the driver's side front fender. And one small hole in the trunk. It appears to have been running and driving not too long ago. All the fluids look good. Even the brakes pumped up with some fluid. Looks to have been painted that lilac purple. Would've been a pretty sharp car in its day!

I'm more of a bench guy myself, but I know that everyone loves the buckets. Cant wait to see what you'll do to it! is it running and driving as it sits?

It is running I haven't tried putting it in gear yet. I wanna do some brake work first. So I don't end up running into anything. Eventually after I get it running and driving I'd like to restore it to stock. I'm pretty limited on funds as of now. I actually seen this car on an online auction. So I went to check it out. When I got there, I noticed two guys wearing derby shirts were looking it over. I couldn't let that happen!

Good man!

Very exciting to get a new project. You got her just in time, congrats!

The performance gauge is factory correct. That's definitely an odd car worth saving.

Tilt-O-Scope steering column and power driver's seat, A/C, but manual windows.

Nice move saving it from the derby dudes.

Yea I thought it was odd having manual windows too haha! I don't mind. I didn't even know these gauges existed. Thanks guys!

Nice score. It is a major project but will be nice when done. I have the same factory vacuum gauge in my 68 Monaco 500.
