Vehicle Runs and moves Breaks work This is a V8 HEMI 250 HP V8 No major rusted out panels Almost completely intact (only missing a wiper arm and the front emblem, the emblem would need replaced anyways since they crack up over time) Most of the chrome is in great shape a couple pieces are dented. Less than 72k original miles VIN N5524482 Beautiful Car when restored Low Retail Value of this vehicle is over 11k http://www.nadaguides.com/default.aspx?LI=1-22-1-5013-0-0-0&l=1&w=22&p=1&f=5014&y=1955&m=1037&d=2099&c=7&o=8559&vi=67499&da=1 Please ask questions! "This vehicle is a 1955 Chrysler New Yorker St. Regis Hardtop Coupe that is powered by a 331 cubic-inch V8 'Firepower' engine with hemispherical cylinder heads. It is capable of producing an astonishing 250 horsepower. There is a three-speed Powerflite automatic gearbox and four-wheel power-assisted drum brakes. " Barn Find, I recently acquired this vehicle, it had been sitting around for several years. I believe the 71k miles are original miles. The body only has surface rust, the panels are not rusted through and should not need patch panels. I did see one whole in the sheet metal in the wheel well. The roof has no rust at all, looks like original paint. The sides have had body work on both sides, the left was done with polyester filler and the right with lead. The white areas have all been repainted and the paint is cracking. As far as I can tell the floors are solid. I actually was amazed to find this car in such great shape, it runs and the previous owner said that he even ran it up and down the road a time or two, o yea, the breaks work great. The interior is original and not terrible although it would need redone to be a proper restore. The radio has the old school automatic tuning features and they all still mechanically function, I did not turn on the radio but I'll bet it works. Vent levers all still functioning. Most of the prior registration information is in the glove box including prior owners info. I have the title in hand, oddly enough it only has an 8 didgett vin number. Last titled in 1991. I have been checking these out online, the lowest I can find a fully restored one go for was 45k, I saw one recently go for 60,500.00 and was originally estimated to sell for only 40-50k, this vehicle will be worth millions to the next generation. http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://files.conceptcarz.com/img/Chrysler/t_55-Chrysler_NewYorker_StRegis_Cpe_DV-07-MBA_01.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.conceptcarz.com/vehicle/z2072/Chrysler-New-Yorker.aspx&usg=__pRrQSJOBSxJPFO9hqfD2XV7d58I=&h=115&w=100&sz=6&hl=en&start=50&um=1&itbs=1&tbnid=Jz1b4YfJpSRfMM:&tbnh=87&tbnw=76&prev=/images%3Fq%3D55%2Bnew%2Byorker%2Bregis%26start%3D40%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26sa%3DN%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26ndsp%3D20%26tbs%3Disch:1 I can provide any other information or pictures about the vehicle. PAYMENT deposit is not refundable, if i have to re-list this item because you didn't pay in full, i will keep the deposit. Please contact me to settle payment arrangements. cash on delivery is preferred, bank checks are acceptable only once the funds have cleared, this means i will need the check before the vehicle can be picked up until the check clears. the reason for this is bc there have been fake bank checks going around and i dont trust them.
