Milwaukee, Wisconsin, United States
|
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. |

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos
Thu, 12 Dec 2013With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.
Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
Thu, 12 Jun 2014It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."
Ward's releases 10 Best Interiors list for 2014
Thu, 10 Apr 2014While we're still a ways off from the automotive awards season proper, where things like North American Car and Truck of the Year, Motor Trend's Car of the Year and Car and Driver's Ten Best are named, that doesn't mean there aren't trophies being handed out to deserving automakers. Ward's 10 Best Interiors being one of them.
As the name might imply, the magazine focuses on the very best interior treatments in the US market. Whereas some awards purposely exclude extreme, high-dollar offerings, Ward's considers them - the only requirement is that a vehicle has a "new or significantly redesigned interior."
Ward's offered up the list of winners in simple, alphabetical order, and it only seems fair to do the same:
