CS43T2C306134 recently sold on eBay for almost $7.4k. Other than a non-working A/C and some very minor quibbles (a hard-to-see crease on the front fender and a mini-ding on the left rear quarter; a power antenna switch that is loose and an antenna that goes down but not up; a radio that has a hard time picking stations; and a slowish driver-side rear window -- all the others are perfect, and so is the power seat), this ´72 NYB was really in superb shape. The interior seems to have been every bit as nice as the pictures show -- no rip, tear or stain anywhere. The underside looked spotless. The only thing it needed (other than the H53 fix) were new tires, and the usual belts/hoses/etc.

Given the price paid, there is hope that this beautiful Brougham went to a good home. Here are a few pictures for records.

Nope. I did like it a lot, and I do not mind GY8, but I decided to be patient and wait for the right color.
 
There are a few models that I really like. The ‘72 NYB is one of them. The ‘71 Imperial is another. The ‘69 and ‘70 Chrysler ‘verts come next. I already have my two favorite fusies, Poppy and Medina, so I can be patient :)

So this was the one you were considering. I can see why. Particularly with that paint and no vinyl. The lack of vinyl is always rare for fuselage's, I would imagine very rare for an upscale New Yorker Brougham. Was this the first year of the NYB?

1972 was the first year of the NYB trim level
 
Car was sold to a dealer in France. He also sold it 2 years ago.
Here’s one of the pictures with VIN
