1966 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER 440 CID COUPE IN REGAL BLUE. VERY NICE SURVIVOR CONDITION. HAS BEEN LOVED. SHOWS 21K ON THE ODOMETER, BUT THE ODOMETER IS NOT WORKING. I GUESS THAT WAS COMMON ON THESE OLDER CHRYSLERS FOR THE ODOS TO STOP WORKING. I HAVE SEEN OF PLACES THAT REBUILD THEM. I HAVE ALSO SEEN REPLACEMENT SEAT COVERS AVAILABLE. THE TOP EDGE OF THE DRIVERS SEAT THE SEAM IS PULLED APART AS PICTURED, AND WHEN SITTING IN THE SEAT, THE SEAM JUST RIGHT OF YOUR RIGHT LEG PULLS APART. ABOUT 3 INCHES WORTH. WITH WEIGHT OFF THE SEAT, THE SEAM PULLS BACK TOGETHER. ALSO THE TOP OFF THE REAR SEAT IS SHOWING SIGNS OF SUN DAMAGE. I DID NOT MIND, BUT DID CHECK INTO AVAILABILITY OF REPLACEMENT COVERS. STILL LOOKS GREAT FOR A 46 YEAR OLD CAR. PAINT IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE, BUT DOES HAVE SOME SCRATCHES ON THE TRUNK LID, AND A CHIP IN THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER AS TRIED TO PICTURE. I BOUGHT SOME TOUCH UP PAINT, BUT HAVE NOT TOUCHED IT UP YET. WAS NOT SURE IF I WAS GOING TO HAVE IT AIRBRUSHED OR NOT. THE ANTENA MAST IS BROKEN, BUT HAVE NOT CHANGED YET. THE CAR COVER FITS BETTER WITH OUT IT. I GOT THE CAR AT THE END OF OCTOBER, DROVE IT A FEW TIMES TILL WINTER SET IN, AND PUT IT UP TILL SPRING. ALSO HAS A SLIGHT PULL TO THE LEFT WHEN BRAKING, WHICH I BELIEVE JUST NEEDS A BRAKE ADJUSTMENT. WAS GOING TO DETAIL AND ADJUST THE BRAKES WHEN SPRING COMES, BUT HAVE NOT YET. I DROVE IT MANY TIMES WHILE THE WEATHER WAS NICE. I ESTIMATE I HAVE PUT ABOUT 400 MILES ON IT SINCE OCTOBER. I HAVE DRIVEN ON SOME LENGTHY DRIVES, AND NO PROBLEMS IN RUNABILTY. DID CHANGE THE OIL AND ANTIFREEZE WHEN I GOT IT. I JUST GOT A NEW TOY, AND THE WIFE SAYS THIS YORKER, AND MANY OTHER THINGS HAVE TO GO. I HATE TO GET RID OF IT BECAUSE IT IS SUCH GOOD SHAPE, BUT I WILL LET SOMEONE ELSE ENJOY HER. GET A JUMP ON THE SPRING AND SUMMER CRUISING MONTHS. I DID NOT CHECK THE A/C, BUT THE GUY I BOUGHT IT FROM SAID IT NEEDS TO BE CHARGED. IS FOR SALE LOCALLY SO THE AUCTION CAN END EARLY EVEN IF THERE ARE BIDS ON THE CAR. HAS ONLY ONE SET OF KEYS. ALSO HAS ORIGINAL WHEELS AND HUB CAPS, BUT THEY ARE PRETTY RUFF. I WAS THINKING ABOUT PUTTING ON I THINK THEY ARE CALLED OUTLAWS. SOLID ALUMINUM RIMS THAT WOULD MATCH NICELY THE ALUMINUM TRIM. BUT DID NOT YET BECAUSE IT IS NOT SPRING. ALSO, I THINK IN THE LATE '80'S WHEN THESE AMERICAN RACING RIMS DATE, THE MUFFLERS WERE REPLACED WITH GLASS PACKS AND THE CHROME TIPS? I DID NOT MIND THIS MOD, BUT IS NOT AS QUIET AS THE STOCK SYSTEM.
