You remind me of Bobby from the Sopranos the way you confidently describe the car in it’s true fashion and no bs about it. Thanks for sharing man you got a nice speaking voice. God Bless.
We purchase new in 1979. It virtually looks like yours. I had a great deal of issues but the lean burn system. The car was very luxurious and very stately for the times. We kept the car for only a year and traded it in.
I sold airline tickets out of the newspaper in the want ads and traded a guy a one-way ticket from Seattle to JFK for one of these. It was a comfortable car and reliable, if I remember correctly. It wouldn't start at the airport one day, so I took the plates off and left it in long-term parking. It was there for months!
R Bodies are so underrated and underappreciated. It's a real shame that Chrysler dropped the 5.9 early, and a shame these cars were canceled after only three years. The M body was nice but was never as smooth and graceful as the larger R Body cars, which I think were really well proportioned and handsome cars.
It's literally based on the 75-79 Chrysler Cordoba coupe. They stretched the wheelbase from 115 to 118 inches, squared off the body and put in a new interior.
Really great looking car. I always liked the R body platform despite Chrysler’s quality control during the late 70s. The New Yorker was my favorite but the Magnum was very nice as well. I know it’s been 5 months or so since this video came out but I’ve got to ask: Is this New Yorker still for sale?
To me that doesn't look like a New Yorker that I remember because growing up as a kid in the late 70s 80s My mom had a black 76 New Yorker Brougham black my dad had a 78 New Yorker Brougham whitesh gray with a red Pinstripe. Big land yachts. The one your selling kinda looks like a Caprice or something lol but I know it's a New Yorker lol
This car is considered by many The LAST of the TRUE Old School Mopar Mafia Staff Cars🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 That said, Stuntman from.Neutral Drop needs to do.a Neutral Drop in a 1979 Chrystal New Yorker🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

You are the king of cool cars
Always admired the blonde wood appliqué they used in the cream colored interiors.
I remember that car, we builded that at the late Lynch Road Assembly Plant, Detroit MI.
I have the last one every built at lynch road too
@@harryrez Yes I see, It brings back memories.

It really is an underappreciated model, however it's the question of understanding how to maintain or deal with the Lean Burn System.
Exactly, I just sold an M body and as decent as it was not even close to the R. The ride and comfort level is night and day between the 2
@@harryrez Do you think that the lean burn system is more easier with 80-81 models compared to 79'?
as a canadian this car immediatley reminded me of jim lahey, except this one still has the roof on it,
Wow, brings back memories when I was a kid😂, it still sounds the same bad workmanship hard to start hasn’t lost a beat from the 1978 model year😹

I really like this generation. Too bad it was so short lived.
