I would replace the plugs and wires and all the filters too...
New to me 78 NYB on its way but please Don't tell my wife
- Thread starter 73 T&C
- Start date
Looks nice...like the silver color...even better than color red on the exterior that I've seen recently on another NYB...
Good addition to the list. Thanks.
Not yet but I know what I’m going to tell her and, best of all, it’s true...
Honey, guess what! I sold the LINCOLN Mark III (true...it was sold six months ago). And, honey... you know how you always want your cut... here’s a little something from the sale I know you’ll like..... 50% of the profits..... (about a grand... also true)
Then, when she asks about the rest of it, I’ll let her know I’ve “re-invested” it and that it’s at the shop getting ready for the unveiling sometime in the next few weeks.
Wish me luck!!!

You got it. Lol.
BTW, underneath is the cleanest I've ever seen on a Formal. Unbelievable. I would have bought it just from the pics.
Thank you Stan! Coming from you that means a lot.
In fact I was just reading your thread about power antennas as mine is busted.
It was a huge gamble that looks like it may actually pay off. The pictures and hope that the underside would match the interior sold me

You did good...
An uncracked steering wheel is itself impressive.
For you gasket needs, try these folks... I'm very happy with the ones I bought, just follow the instructions that come with and don't overtorque them.

Even the hood ornament looks complete. Normally the red emblem pops off the hood ornament. There should be flat black paint around the red emblem too.

If you find that the rotors are original Mopar rotors, you may want to consider just getting them turned. Finding rotors that hold up can be a real problem.
Took off the non-OEM rubber strips and was glad that the ends weren’t riveted in.
Small holes in the exhaust and not liking the clamp party out back.
Finally..... what the hell were they even thinking.

I've been following your story and just wanted to wish you the best of luck with the New Yorker. It's a real BEAUTY. I look forward to reading more about it when you start driving it and seeing more pictures
Man knows his NYB’s
Stan, your underside is very clean too!
Needs Flowmaster 40's and dual's. Any respectable exhaust shop can bend and fit you up nicely at a reasonable amount.
This is what a NOS hood ornament looks like. I don't know if you can see the area's that are painted flat black.
I'm all about safety as others here will tell you about me....
I don't want to ever hear or see anybody get hurt or crash their C-Body.
Others will disagree that tires should be replaced every 8 years. That is the standard that DOT says is safe. I had a right/rear tire self destruct on the way to Carlisle and its scared the crap out of me. Luckily I didn't crash or hurt anybody. The other problem was the spare was old as hell and severely dry rotted. Luckily I was able to limp to a Mr. Tire and got new tires that day. You can goggle how to decode tire manufacturing dates and figure out how old your tires are.

Hey, those saddle brackets are rarer than hen's teeth. Guard it with your life.
It's the only way to correctly hang the exhaust system.
