Vehicle Detail

Runs, drives, stops, clean title. 1966 New Yorker two door hard top, 118,000 miles. Sold new in Los Angles, and was there until 2002 when it was bought to Wisconsin as a summer vehicle by a local collector. He summered the car until 2010 when the reverse band broke in the transmission and he put the car into storage. I bought the car from him in 2012 and put it in my garage and began working on it. Life got in the way and I didn't work on it as much I had planned. There it sat until a few months ago when I focused on it and got it back on the road. So long story short, it spent most of it's life in Cali, and came to Wisconsin and was cared for. It's never been driven in winter and subject to road salt. It wasn't sitting in someones yard or field rotting away. It still has the factory brake lines on it, and they are perfect. The brake line fittings came off with open ended wrenches. Ivory paint with black leather, bucket seats with fold down arm rest, power drivers seat, power windows, Air Conditioning, tinted glass, dual exhaust, power drum brakes, AM radio, 350 horsepower 440 cubic inch motor, 4 barrel carb, 727 Torqueflight automatic trans, 14 inch wheels with new tires Solid California car. Still has most of the factory under coating still on it. Solid floors. Solid trunk. Solid rockers. Solid doors. One small rust hole behind one of the fender skirts, another small hole on the inside behind the rear wheel well. They don't get much more solid than this. The pictures show it missing two pieces of trim, I have those two pieces. Was told by the previous owner that he had the heads redone and hardened valve seats installed. I have done the following repairs: Rebuilt the transmission, New front and rear brakes (New drums, shoes, hardware, wheel cylinders, hoses, adjusters) New front and rear shocks New front wheel bearings New rear axle bearings New axle housing end (bearing failed and wrecked the housing end) New upper ball joints, control arm bushings, bump stops New inner and outer tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm New wheel studs on the left side of the car (all wheel studs are now right hand thread) New lower ball joints and lower bump stops New motor mounts New dipstick and tube New master cylinder (replaced the original single piston MC with a 1967 Chrysler dual piston MC) New spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor New battery Had it aligned after I did all the front end work New R134a compatible AC Compressor, new receiver/drier, car was missing a couple lines when I got it and I am having those made now, as soon as I get them the system, will be hooked up and charged with freon. A lot of extra parts including a bunch of NOS Chrysler parts included. New custom door panels Drivers seat recovered and re-padded Rear seat bottom recovered and re-padded. Passenger rear window doesn't work, it needs a motor. Headliner is perfect Dash pad is perfect Mechanically it is 9.5/10 Interior is 9/10 Body is 8.5/10 Paint is 7/10 A great car with tons of potential to be a stunning car; or rock it as it is. it's not the project that so many old cars turn into. I've done all that. It's all there. You can get in it and start enjoying it right away. I have too many toys and not enough space. I am driving the car so the mileage will go up. I spent all day yesterday washing it and waxing it. It shined up real nice! I also cleaned up the dash and vacuumed the carpets. I will get some new pictures and post them tomorrow when it stops raining.
