Stan, does the new owner participate on this forum? If so, who is he. If he wants to remain anonoymous I can respect that too. Just wondering if he might be at Carlisle this year. I know Minnesota is a long distance commute.

Jed, strangely, doesn't do the forum thingie (smart man, perhaps?). He's in his 40's and is a true (!!!) Mopar guy having owned 20 of them already and he stays pretty busy and doesn't go to shows and stuff. He simply loves to drive Mopars. He's a typical mid-west farm boy who can do just about anything with his bare hands and a tool box.

The NYer makes bigger dents, that's for sure.
Only because it doesn't bend as easy, they probably weigh the same

In 30 seconds what tooks months....
The Formal cowl and dash and pedals share no similarities so I couldn't use any existing Mopar clutch/brake pedal assy.
The Formal brake pedal assembly is also a major dash frame support. HAD to work with that.
I looked at a lot of other Clutch/brake assys and chose a mid-90s Jeep setup.
I fabbed up the Jeep pedals to work with the Chrysler bracket.
Set it up as a Hydraulic Clutch.

I love that car! The only thing I'd change is the scoops...as in delete them. Just not right on a New Yorker. Different, yes.
I thought for a while about making you an offer on that car back when you had it.
There was a guy locally (2001 or so) that essentially built his own version of a 300-Hurst, without the fiberglass and colors; although it was Spinnaker White, too. Very much like your New Yorker, other than no four speed trans. That was a fun car to schlep around in.

I agree.
And thanks for the compliments.
I feel bad what the second owner did to it.
And I feel bad that #3 owner, Jim (Rush), bought it expecting a 12 second machine. But Jim has done right by that car. He took care of what #2 guy fugged up and some other things.
It was never meant to be an RT-8 killer. It couldn't. It weighs almost 5,000 lbs.
Well, it was an itch that I had since the 80's and I had to scratch it.

I think a six pack hood would of looked more appropriate for a hood scoop on a NYB.

I think a 67 super stock would look best imo

Or leave the hood as it was. Nobody would have complained.
Funny how several innocent little holes in a hood made the entire car and everything that it is the central point of controversy. Just one little momentary lapse of of good taste makes an entire unique car a deal breaker for so many.
There should be a mandatory three day waiting period to purchase bling requiring installation with screws.
An 11 month build offset by 10 minutes with a drill...
That car was one paint job away from being on the cover of Mopar Action.

I would like to find a program somewhere that I can post a picture of my car, and have the ability to try differant paint colors and body modification to see what it would look like.:yaayy:
Use double sided tape.......

Too bad they didn't go the cardboard route to see what it would have looked like first....

I know what you're talking about, I've seen this once over here in a BMW board regarding original paint choices and found it quite helpful and entertainig. link below. Completely beyond my abilities, I'm already challenged to write an E-Mail. ;)

...or leave it thefugg alone.
There is not ONE C-body deserving a hood scoop, 65-66 Furys excluded.
And only a Max Wedge at that. No more..........

The one on the 300 Hurst is as well Fitting even though it's actually for passenger compartment air.
