I bought a 1970 newyorker in 2004 as a student and omg classy and powerful. It was so so straight when I sold 2 years later. 70k one owner. I’m glad to see it got a good home!!!
@ itsmegp46, Obviously you had a worn out high mileage one ! These cars have 5 digit odometer after 99,999 they go back to 0 ! These cars were extrememly reliable,never in the shop until they rolled 2-3 times,meaning 200,000-300,000 miles ! Stopping was 120 feet from 60 mph,like most of todays cars,these rode smooth and handled great fly around corners !! You can get 15-18 average mpg with these as well !! 10-13 in only city,like a newer truck/suv or minivan !!
itsmegp46, If you overload any car it will handle/drive worse !! I own a 69 and 70 300 (basically the same as a New Yorker) I also had a New Yorker,New Port drove them daily for decades never had much problems with them. The ones that dont stop well have no power brakes or power steering but most had power brakes,even power disk brakes and power steering No squeaks no rattles drives straight and smooth at 95+ mph effortlessly 383's were the best on gas up to 18 mpg avrg mix of city / hwy
Older cars with points need to be changed but its cheap and easy 10 minute job These cars need less maint then newer cars When these were new they were very reliable more so than newer cars. No timing belt/waterpump every 50,000 miles people say newer cars need less maint because parts are sealed,you cant repack wheel bearing you just let them fail many new cars I replace them at 55,000 miles while old ones just repack the grease 100,000 mi,same with front ends old Chryslers never failed !
Eh, I wouldn't want horse pulled coaches to make a come back either. At the risk of repeating myself, those cars looked good, but had no lasting ability. I used to drive those cars. Some of them spent more time in the shop than being driven by me. Typical example: an exhaust system would last, maybe 35,000 to 40,000 miles. One of my cars with over 150,000 miles, is using the original.
i bought a 74 brougham for around 10k canadian so maybe 9k USD and it had a mint interior no damage no body rust except under the vinyl roof and it runs no work other than new front brakes due to government safety regulations and there are ones that are just not as nice for around 6 or 7k
Thank God they don't make cars like this anymore. Gas guzzling engines, (maybe 10-12 mpg if you're lucky), horrible handling, worse brakes, oceanliner like steering, biasply tires making handling even worse. The New Yorker rode smoothly only when lightly loaded. Filled with the driver and 5 passengers with luggage and this car would bump and crash against the bump stops like a car with no shock absorbers.

Fantastisch!
When I first got my license (1979), our family car was a 1970 New Yorker Hardtop. The 440 HiPo was amazing.
Man I miss the "driving satisfaction" that only a substantial beast like this can give. Very nice car, loved to see it.
Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!!!!!!

@CH43T0C Thanks. 452 = rebuilt/bored 440. 1/4 mile no idea, it's really fast... ;) Wheels are 15x8 steel from wheelvintiques with 235/60 ww-tires

Geiler Wagen, klingt nurn bisschen brav oder täuscht das? Wie laut ist der?
badd ass!
Schönes Teil! Clip ist 6 Jahre alt. Gibt´s den Wagen noch? Wieviel müsste man für den Kauf investieren?
War zu der Zeit meiner, habe ihn aber nicht mehr. Als 2-Türer dürfte ein NYer auf dem deutschen Markt immer noch schwer zu finden sein.
C-Bodys Coupés sind in der tat sehr rar. Egal ob Monaco, Imperial, etc.
@olli74 Tief geht damit defnitiv ;) Stell mal ein Video ein, wenn du die neuen Töpfe drin hast.
too bad they cant make cars like that now
How much should i pay for a non running new yorker. There is one for sale down my street
