Talking about close couples, dig this:
CS43T8C181574, SPD 619, MDH 062011
CS23N8C183444, SPD 626, MDH 062013
Only two production hours difference between the two of them, but 1870 VIN ticks apart!
The earlier MDH belongs to Pettit's car, that popped up in this thread back in 2014 and has since carried the honorary title of "last known produced C-body".
Now the later MDH of the two is the front runner in the race for this title. It belongs to a white NYB coupe that sold yesterday on Ebay for $3,100. Some pictures and the seller's text:
"Sharp looking 1978 2 door Chrysler New Yorker. White with red leather interior and plush carpet. 400 4 bbl. Options include power windows. door locks and seats, tilt telescope, clock, AM/FM 8 track. This car has been in storage for 10 years. It was started last year but would not stay running. It is complete and unmodified. Mileage is approximate. The body is in good condition, with exception of the left lower quarter. At some point before I acquired it, there had been water leaking into the trunk where it settled in the lower pan area eventually causing rust. Some rough body work was done, but it really should be corrected. Otherwise, the paint is original. . There is a small but noticeable bump in the hood, the result of someone leaving a tool on the air cleaner and closing it. As for the interior, it is fair to good. There is some stiffness in areas of the seat cushions and the back seat is split at the top stitching where the sun hits it. This seems to be a common problem for this model. The dash pad has been sun damaged and will need to be re-dyed. However, no cracking. Since the car has been in storage for so long, I am unsure of what other issues there may be. It ran and drove when it was put there and I have driven it a handful of times since. Overall, the car presents well and with some minor work, can be an excellent cruiser. It currently has a PA issued classic plate. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the car is listed for sale locally. Payment must clear before car is released. Thanks for your interest!"
The seller then kindly sent me these two pics as well:
