Vehicle Detail

Up for sale is a super solid 1948 Chrysler New Yorker with no reserve. Don't let the paint job on this one fool you there is a beautiful car under there! This car is in amazingly solid shape for its age. The door and window rubber is in amazing condition. The frame and all the sheet metal is in really solid condition. The floors, doors, fenders, and door jambs are in really great original condition with no rusted out areas. It looks like this car was garaged for the majority of its life with low were and tear from the elements especially on the undercarriage of the car. The interior items work such as the dome lights, e-brake blinking light, heater blower, radio, cigarette lighter, air vent, and the windows, etc. For a restoration project this car is ahead of the game with a lot of work already done. This car only needs light mechanical work, interior, paint work, and some exterior re-chroming. I have receipts totaling around $3400.00 with the car. The motor was professionally rebuilt. Some new brake lines and drums, brake shoes, and all new wheel cylinders have been professionally installed. The rims were sand blasted and primed. New high quality period tires were fitted and are in great like new condition still. Also, the gas tank has been boiled out, cleaned, and the car is running off gas through the tank. The car was on the road running and driving a couple years ago. I recently put a new coil on and got it up and running again. The brakes need to be bled and checked but are working now. The car does run and drive but is stubborn to start, I think that is due to the carb and now the fuel pump needs replacing. This is a minor fix as well. It needs a carburetor tune up or rebuild. There is a slight hesitation in throttle but only due to the carb. The motor runs smooth and clutch and transmission work well. It might need slight adjusting and lubricating on transmission linkage. Car comes with new battery and new coil installed and an original service manual. Video link http://youtu.be/xaMu8ncOU0A and http://youtu.be/mVWDPJHWj9Y and Terms.
