Rescued 71 Chrysler New Yorker - Will it Start, Run and Drive?

I will never understand why a great looking car like that can be treated so bad, never.

[@CutthroatMcRage]

@ YKXZWX ... I couldn't agree with you more my friend and I am the one who now owns this gem and man let me tell ya she's awesome.

[@kevinfestner6126]

I'm so glad these great cars from the early 70s are being rescued. My favs were Chrysler Corps from 70 to 72.

[@jamesmyers9285]

How can anybody in their right mind let a car like this sit and rot? My neighbor's parents drive a 1971 Chrysler Imperial the same color, with a tan vinyl roof, and leather interior that looks like they just bought the car. The car belonged to the Father of my neighbor's Father, bought new in December of 1970 as a Christmas present for his wife. The real wire wheels on this New Yorker look incredible. Love your rescue videos.

[@SwedeMachine]

Oh I don't know how sometimes as well. But I'm glad we got it rescued! Those rims I really do like. Excellent taste you have =-)

[@jamesd2398]

Glad to see people saving our old classics. Nothin like em.

CHRIS -- YOU HIT GOLD WITH THIS CAR !! THIS CAR STARTED RIGHT UP,, ROLLED NO FROZEN WHEELS ,,. THE INSIDE IS GREAT THE OUT SIDE PAINT NOT BAD .. YOU HAVE A NICE CAR ,, I AM GLAD YOU SAVED THIS GEM FROM RUSTING TO DEATH,,. DONT GIVE UP ON THIS CAR!!!!

[@SwedeMachine]

This car will be with me for some time. It'll get refurbished and treated with tender loving care right here on this channel don't you worry!

[@SonnyGTA]

OW! My ears!! Stop screaming!!

[@matthrivnak6572]

Thanks for saving the old car!

[@todddenio3200]

Old Mopars gave the smoothest rides because of their torsion bar front and refined leaf spring rear suspension systems. (My 63 Dodge 440 four door sedan has a ride smoother than my 85 Cadillac Seville or my 65 Cadillac Coupe DeVille.

[@jayfrnka4664]

I love all old cars and watching this guy and others who bring em back to life. I also enjoyed the polka music at the end, I grew up with that, my dad was Czech.

[@66skate]

I always loved these fuselage Chryslers. I own a 69 Imperial which is pretty much the same as what you have there. I've owned it since 1994 and it always amazed me how well it drives and handles for such a big heavy car. Roof rust was a big problem on these years.

[@SwedeMachine]

I have heard that these years are prone to rust. I really love these boats. Automatic transmission, electric windows, A/C, all the modern amenities i need without computers.

[@southside1975]

thats a nice ride

[@nytewrtr]

Really enjoyed watching this! The video with the Lincoln is my favorite!

Good to see that beast back on the road ! I even like the color. It came back pretty well.

[@avioncamper]

Sweet 440. Dad had a 1969 T & C Wagon, 383 4 barrel, dual exhaust from 72-85. I learned how drive with that wagon. I love the fuselage Chrysler's, 69-78.

[@petergoodwin2465]

Just had to sub , the interior is almost identical to my Australian built Chrysler regal se except it has leather bucket seats and floor shift. What a beautiful car mate, they built the best back then. Very easy to restore this one, body looks great. They all rust around the windsceens, I've done lots of them ,hard to do but after a few it's easy. This is well worth doing. 440, 727, and probably a big Dana 60. This will run forever, everytime I buy a new so I don't have to drive my Chrysler to work it falls apart and I end up driving the Chrysler for 6 months because I hate the new car so much. Same as the wife's 67 impala, once I start driving it I'm gone all day. Modern cars are why I left panel beating, they really are the pits . Great video mate, what a beast this could be. Not hard to get big power from a 440. Just built a 327 and they are like a toy compared to the Chrysler engines. I've blown up plenty of Ford's and Gms but never a Mopar.

[@SwedeMachine]

Welcome! We will be cleaning it up nicely, probably tune up, detaining the interior et. Ill take bucket seats and and floor shift any day! No school like the old school!

[@joe6096]

I know I'm a bit of a late response to this video but what a great find! Any chance to save these old cars needs to be taken, because they'll never build them like this again. I'm 44 but as I've gotten older I've come to appreciate what luxury cars USED to be - it wasn't about how much technology was in the car so much as the smooth, effortless, isolated, and supremely comfortable ride quality and space and comfort. In that regard, there's not a single modern car that can come close to an old-school New Yorker and the like of this era. When you get that 440 running fine and the fuel system sorted, I cannot wait for that video. And yes, you are correct - body work is a whole other world from mechanical work. You might have to do a complete tear off of the vinyl top to have all the rust sorted under it, then a new top reinstalled.

[@SwedeMachine]

Well said👍

[@asia23425]

I've always loved the 60's-70's cars, because it reminds me of my childhood and simpler times. In those days the ride was about enjoying the experience, and where you were going! Why do I want to go 200mph in 3 seconds? No, I want to enjoy the scenery and the ride!

[@petergoodwin2465]

I couldn't have said that better, we were lucky to Find a 67 impala factory Rh drive in Australia. The old cars are fantastic to drive, I put disc brakes on it and the thing handled great even before I rebuilt the whole thing. I really wish they built cars like this these days.

[@coll0310]

Got a 1961 Chrysler New Yorker wagon. All prepared and ready for paint.

[@coll0310]

Are you a customer?

[@66skate]

Had a 61 Newport wagon back in the late 60's What a blast that car was.

[@BitterDemo]

I had an identical mate to that car in 1979. I loved it and drove it all over the country. I gave it to one of my lady employee's so she could take her family back to Chicago from Meriden, Kansas. She wrecked it on the way back, But even with the whole left front fender cut off abd the hood off, she made it all the way back to Chi Town.

Love that big block rumble. She’s in good shape! I know you’re not a body guy, but that paint looks like it would do good with a cut and buff. Fix the rust and paint the top matte black. I’d daily drive that thing.

[@onlyoneamong300]

I totally agree with you! In my case, I've always been infatuated with big American cars! So much so that my dream cars are all from the era between the mid 50's and mid 70's. I really like several modern cars but I don't like most of them because they're hard to fix when they break. They lack real metal bumpers, have super elongated headlights and small, froggy trunks. Plus, their protruding dashboards, overloaded with gadgets, are annoying to the point that driving is not an enjoyable experience anymore! The worse part of it though is, that they're over designed yet look the same, thus lack the presence, slenderness, and elegance of old American cars like this beautiful New Yorker! I wish GM would stop copying foreign cars styling and principles, listen to its own people and bring back big American cars again! I mean, most people drive huge, gas guzzling SUVs or pickups nowadays. Therefore, there shouldn't be a problem with reviving the cars that made the US admired and envied the world over! God bless the good, old USA!

What a find. I had a 69 new Yorker in 72. 440 and robin egg blue with the white roof. It had a quad stereo from the factory in it. Remember them? Awesome car. In the 90s I had a 77 Newport custom 400 and it was a gemer too. So effing comfortable and I ouitran the cops in it and got away or I wooda lost my licence drunk driving but I did outdrive and outrun two cruisers so I wasnt that drunk.

I feel like we probably missed some details on this. If they started it off the gas that was in the tank, it couldn't have been sitting there that long. Still, I'm loving these old land yachts, it's nice to see them getting some attention now.

I had a 1986 Chrysler New Yorker 5th Ave. I loved that car I wish I still had it, but it was more rust than car

[@JohninTucson]

Those big old boats are from my era of cars that I learned to drive in. Those 440's of that time period still had the guts in them for the most part and had plenty of go-power at the throttle. The frigging AC compressor is almost as big as the engine in these 1970's Chryslers, even the slant 6 got stuck with one that robbed the little engine of any power at all lol. Thanks for taking the time and effort necessary to put together a terrific and informative video of your rescues for all of us to enjoy. I look forward to seeing what you come up with next! I'm also a new sub.

[@philipancell516]

Absolutely. Yup has true dual exhaust. Which was factory only with the Hi-Performance package.
