1966 Chrysler New Yorker w/ 440
Here we have my first mopar. and a list of all the things i had to do to keep it up to par.. Rebuilt booster & brake master, new front brakes, all window motors, oil change & fliter, air filter, clean 4 barrel carb, flush and fill radiator,new gas cap, new radiator cap, new thermostat, new plugs (champion), new plug wires, new cap and rotor, new wheel cylinders, new starter , all new front bulbs,new used battery, new baterry wires, new rear air shocks, new muffler and 3 inch exaust, and finally a set of 20 inch daytons with 5 inch lip. payed only $2,700 buckarros for the car. rides and looks amazing for its year. put another $2,500 in it in parts and labor. I feel really lucky to own a peice of american history. probably not worth much but i hope never to part with this bad boy. 
Thanks for looking and God Bless

ya i got a 67 chrysler newport 4dr 383. its all original and i didnt have to do anything to it. i got it for 2900. but its hard to tell with old cars what they're truly worth. imo, a car is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. pretty much like 78D200 said

Thanks for your post. I can relate to how you feel about your New Yorker
Here we have my first mopar. and a list of all the things i had to do to keep it up to par..

I was born in Detroit. My dad's side of the family worked at Ford Motor Company, my mom's side all worked at the Chrysler Corporation. In the 60s they all drove Chryslers. From Valiants to Imperials, I learned to drive in a 63 Chrysler New Yorker. and a 64 Valiant station wagon. After that my dad had a 69 300 with the 440, Man that car was fast. We pulled a 17 foot travel trailer, that 300 handed that trailer like it wasn't even there.It chimbed the Sierras steep mountains roads with ease, even with the A/C on. Its nickname was Mildred after my mom,, so I appreciate yours being named Marlin While I was sorry to see the pushbutton drive go in 1965, but the 300 was a great car. My best friend's parents had a 66 town and Country wagon with the 383 4bb. That was a great car too You hold on to your Nee Yorker with both hands, I know you will never be sorry you did. I love our big American cars from the past and feel lucky to have had them .I feel sorry for the kids today, all they have are those little imports. But with the prices of those car
American cars from the 60s they know what they are missing.

Hi, interesting topic. I also love retro cars. Now I'm restoring a 1976 Dodge pickup. I want to note the quality of Best 15W-40 Oil. This time the engine started like in Swiss times and sings like a bird. Turns on the track keeps smoothly and evenly, in general, I consider oil one of the components of tuning. A complete restoration of the car cost me 2900 dollars
