I've been "lurking" for some time here trying to explore all the information that's available. It's obvious I'll never be able to read everything but thank all of you for the facts AND personalities I've found so far.
Prices on 2 door vehicles is usually higher and I actually prefer the looks and usability of a 4 door. I'd like a mid sixties car with AC being the most important option here in Hotlanta.
My first question is about a '68 New Yorker.
The seller tells me the engine is an unusual 440 K. What does that "K" code signify?
The next question is regarding value. I know, crazy to set a price by a description but maybe a price range? Hagerty shows an average price of $8,900. NADA with AC avg. $7,040.
This particular car IS average. Mostly original dull paint with very little surface rust (at seams in trunk and under hood) and no evidence of bondo. Seams are even with doors opening and closing well. PW, PDL and AC still R12 with fan only blowing at low speed, stained cloth seats with no tears. One armrest torn and headliner needs work but dashcap is good. Front disc brakes and no tilt steering wheel. Front suspension has been gone through. Tires have tread but are dated. The door rubber is good as is all glass. No ticks from engine but idles a bit rough (compartment is filthy).
Please share opinions and not having owned this model before, what issues I should look for.
