I’ve owned this fine 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue for just over a year. I’ve had quite a few adventures with this vehicle, but it has just sat for the last 6 months. I’ve been trying to sell this Fifth Avenue for quite a while with absolutely no luck. These M body Chryslers have been junked and crushed on a daily basis, and there aren’t that many more left. Certainly there has to be a mega Fifth Avenue fan that wants to save this golden chariot? Come join me as I take the car on a cruise and rediscover what this 80s high end Chrysler had to offer.

Who wouldn't want to drive certified BA Mike Ehrmantraut's car? If I wasn't already driving a 2000's Crown Vic, by this generation arguably the most refined of the road boats, I would totally be all over this.
I have a 2008 Crown Vic and I love it
I had a 1986 that I bought for $400. Drove it for 6 months, sold it to a buddy for $500 and then a year later bought it back for $500. Then drove it for another year. I actually really loved this car. It was super straight and super slow. My wife hated it. I Should have never sold it. Very cool.
These were one of the BEST AMERICAN RIDES!
These were GREAT CARS!
Imagine getting it Hell Cat swapped with drive train.🤔I have a 1989 thinking about getting it restored probably just a rebuilt 318 or 340 in the engine bay tho of course with suspension/drivetrain upgrades.
the 318 cu. in. motor is bullet proof, the 3 speed auto torqueflight trans is cheap and easy to work on. I love these cars
No constant shifting like modern 6-10 speeds
Chrysler kept this GREAT "combo" for DECADES, A VERY WISE CHOICE! I have owned MANY cars in my 66 years, but these "318/Torqueflight" MoPars were BEST! The MOST DEPENDABLE, REALLY NICE DAY-TO-DAY VEHICLES!
BUY IT HOOVIE!
Bidding war! Hoovie vs Doug DeMuro!
No, he’ll destroy it somehow…
I daily an 89 Fifth Avenue with a little over 60,500 miles. Drives like a dream. Delete the lean burn system, install Summit long tube headers, Edelbrock intake and a Demon 4 barrel carb and keep it. Picked mine up for $1,700. Love it.
What’s the difference the Fifth Avenue and New Yorker?
@@Mr.Beastforpresident early edition 82 -85, new yorker fifth avenue, late versions, 86-89, fifth avenue, some sold as plain new yorker with plain interior no luxury options and no extended top, looks like a diplomat, but with new yorker front end on full size, new yorkers also sold in the eighties that were E-class, not m- body, there were several lines sold, as new yorkers of the E-class were leBarons, which were in earlier years based on the m body which is in this video
camtron the destroyer What’s the lean burn system consists of?
That is a very beautiful car! I hope someone who can appreciate it buys it and cherishes it forever,that gold color is amazing!
What's unique about this 5th Avenue is that it's from 1987 which was the first model year where the car was actually built by AMC. Before Chrysler aquired AMC, Chrysler entered into a manufacturing agreement in 1986, .....then the following year, Chrysler aquired AMC. This was sort of the bridge that convinced themselves to buy AMC. They needed production capacity and they also realized AMC was a very good take over candidate. So this is a Kenosha Built by AMC Chrysler before Chrysler bought AMC! it's very unique!
That's wrong. It's a Volare/Aspen that was dressed up to be a luxury version. The Volare/Aspen nearly put Chrysler out of business.
I got an 86 fifth avenue that my grandpa bought new and has been sitting since 2011 that I’ve been spending the last 6 months working on it to get it road worthy. Very nice car and you’re absolutely right about the seats lmao
Need to add some rich mahogany scents to the Corinthian leather and soft-rich appointed interior!
Corinthian leather was the previous generation. These had floating cushion leather or plush velour.
i would so buy it! but i'm in germany...and i'm broke. but one day, I will import one of these beauties! that's my favorite car design ever. this is whta I car has to look like for me. can't stand all these modern organic curvy things. I need sharp edges and nice rectanglar double lights and this nice grll!
It was built when cars had style
Buy something.older
I had a two tone Red/Silver one with 80k miles and mine was in mint condition and I paid 2300 for mine. Mine had everything on it. I hit a deer with it and had it full coverage and the insurance gave me 4500 for it.
I KNOW you sold this! A TRULY GREAT RIDE!
I knew a guy with one in the similar shape as my Delta 88. He told his aunt that he didn't want to scrap it, that he wanted to daily drive it, and it still works today. If I ever get mine to work, I am going to daily it. The fuel efficiency from the 3800 pre series is very great, and EPA approved.
If your Delta is a "350 Rocket", IT HAS GREAT POTENTIAL! Otherwise, I prefer the "Good Ol'" MoPar "318 and torqueflight" over ANYTHING G.M. or Ford in that era!
Ok, so I'm the Johnny come lately of the group. I know it's been over two weeks, but I'm also one of the 6 people in the world that would love this car. Right after High School, I bought my first car from my great uncle (who was superintendent of the school I went to) a silver on chrome with a maroon interior 1987 Chrysler fifth avenue. It had 199,999 miles when I went to pick it up in 2000. I drove the wheels off of that thing, blew the stock engine after 50k miles, put a 360 out of a Ramcharger in it and drove it another 50,000 miles until one day a kid cut my brake lines, filled the tank with sugar and plugged my key holes with toothpicks and super glue (salty mf). It sat behind my family's garage for another five years until my father made me scrap it. I seriously miss that car. I have an opportunity to buy a white one locally for $650. I've been watching your videos for a while but somehow missed this one. If you'll take what I'm going to pay this guy, I'll fly to California, drive it back to Wisconsin and record the whole thing for your youtube channel. That's the best I can do, it'll be $350 for the plane ticket, and another $600-$700 in gas to drive it back.
I had that same car. It was one of the best vehicles I've ever owned and I've owned Lots! Lexus ES300 is the only one I thought was better that I've owned
If I were closer, I'd pay you for it. I love older sedans, actually my first bought outright car was a 1991 New Yorker, so this style really feels cozy and reliable to me. I hope it finds a good home.
I paid 300$ for mine when I was in high school about 5 years ago it was absolutely mint it was silver with blue interior used to stay up wayyy to late and just go sleep in the parking lot at school because the seats where 10,000% comfortable enough to do so lol so I'll agree with you I have owned like 5 of these since
Back in the 90s a good friend of my mom's and myself would always go to the casino. He always had me drive his Fifth Avenue, White with maroon leather it was so much fun to drive and so cushy. I loved that car!!!!
Love the seats! Classic
The only thing I like about these cars is how they ride.
I think this car is absolutely gorgeous! It's a shame you aren't in WA!
I want it. My grandma had one, and the memories would be awesome!
Should be in the Walter P. Chrysler Museum if no takers, this way still be preserved...just a thought.
walter p. chrysler museum is no longer
That is a great thought, I live in Royal Oak MI and I worked to install the dino bays in the Chrysler Tech Center. For those who do not know the museum is on the same property as CTC and the very nice test track. When Daimler Benz bought and gutted Chrysler Benz sold the tech building and everything in it but because of a very logical law reversed the sale. The law states you must work in the benefit to the company and there was no way of proving this was but somehow it was fine to drain the retirement accounts for all the management, well just those who did not agree with fleecing Chrysler.
Do you still have the 5th Avenue and where are you located at ?I live in Ohio and what are you asking for it?Let me know.
Pentastar premium Luxury family room on 4 wheels The spirit of Lee Iacocca will be riding with you always and that true Chrysler sound of the lifters rattling in the engine
Mark Cross Leather! Beige Crystal Coat and they sold a lot of these cars. KEEP IT!
I own a 1987 Chrysler Fifth Avenue lowrider with hydraulics and 13" center gold 100 spoke rims. I love it!
Sweeet!
I wish i had the cash i absolutly love this vehicle, such a smooth abd comfortable ride
I drove a '68 300 in the 2000s, a real full size Chrysler. Your car is about as big as my '72 Dart, with a 318. I had the cable mirror on the '68 and my '65 Park Lane. It's a great car, just showing some legitimate age. New rubber! It's not malaise, it's morning in America (Reagan era).
I asked a coworker when was the last time he got in his car and really took in what he was doing and what it felt like like to drive without being mindless of his car. He couldn’t give me an answer. Thanks for sharing another fabulous show 🍺☕️🥓🍩🥓☕️🍺cheers mate.
Thanks so much for watching!! :) :) :)
I had that with my NA 95 Miata a couple years back - blew a tire then realized the spare was pretty questionable as it was so old and never used. Got me home but I got a new spare as well as replacing the blown regular one in the end.
I had a 1988 base model New Yorker. I loved it. it was in great condition. I miss how nice it drove.
I rented one of these when it was new, in Scottsdale,. I was there for Spring Break. It was so bad that I brought it back for something different.
Mike Ehrmantraut would buy this car
I would buy it if I have enough money saved, having this would make a good addition to my car collection
I love the look of the car... I think it might be because it reminds me of some of the cars from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City so it's giving me a nostalgia feeling 😅
@Benjamin K i knew it looked familiar!
My first car. LOVE it!!
I love those 5th Avenue of that year
It's a nice car I hope it finds a good home.
😀😀
Still for sale
The Chrysler Fifth Avenue New Yorkee was redesigned & down sized but I still liked them then too.
I am one of the people who love this car! If it were 1999 instead of 2019 I would want it as a daily driver. But now it's not practical for someone like me who isn't mechanically skilled. Unfortunately the guys who love fixing cars usually go for Mustangs, Camaros, old SUVs, pickup trucks, etc.
I'm 22 and just bought an 88 Fifth Ave for $1500. I absolutely love it. Rides like a cloud, looks good as hell, and the 318 is amazing. I've never been a big car guy, but buying this has instilled some inspiration in me. I just bought one but I'd love another. I can't believe how much I fell in love with mine, and it's only been a week.
Luckily my AC, cig lighter, all but one power window all work, almost all of the trim and chrome is fine, the antenna still extends, and just a few spots in the paint.

Nice! I'm glad you're enjoying your Fifth so far!!
@@HelloRoad only thing my novice ass is struggling with is the lack of tutorials on this specific car.
@@junkiejackflash Yeah sometimes specific info can be hard to find. But good thing the 318 was so common!
Picking up an 84 next weekend! 33,000 miles, been in a barn since 1991!
Wow, that's awesome! Have fun with it.
I have an 88 New Yorker landau, and I wish I had the money to buy this car from you, id love another New Yorker
Nice car😊. That looks like the car from the show, Breaking Bad. But, the color was dark blue.
Very crisp quality video for 1080p. What camera is used? Was it filmed with higher res?
This was filmed a couple years back on my Canon 80D. 1080p :)
Ricardo montalban would be so freakin proud!
Pull the motor!
Hellcat retro! SLEEPER!
My family had a Diplomat...sister to yours.
The steering was, shall we say distant! The steering wheel had a very vague influence on the front wheels!
Way over boosted! Sort of like a Rudder on a ship! 😂
The damn lean burn fuel control had to be wrapped in tinfoil to protect it from heat..the box attached to the air cleaner.
Hope it sells!
Good videos..subscribed!
👍👍
Yeah MARC CROSS package. This is rarer than one would think
This thing is 30 years old. I can’t imagine anyone actually buying this unless they’re some kind of weird collector. Good video tho! Subbed
What do you know about old cars?😮
This channel feels like a B-version of Hoovie's Garage, lol
Did you ever sell it? I don’t know if it might be your location but I actually see these things for sale for way more than I would expect. I have even thought about selling mine but I’ll drive it every day and the AC still works.
I actually love these cars to bad I live in PGH and can't afford it right now but still a awesome car
Love it!!
Cool car!!
Unfortunately, from it sitting for so long. The gas cable and the emergency brake cable are frozen closed. The foot pedal is on the floor, so. I'm going to see if waiting until it warms up to see if that helps or if not, there's a little extra work I'm going to have to look into.
Right now there are a handful of clean ones in Eastern Canada and they're selling around 6k$
I have the exact same car and cant find parts ill buy it
Can't find a VW to fix up as my first "project". About to go grab my old 5th Avenue that became "mine" to drive down to the end of the road after my Granddaddy gave up for a Towncar... and fix it up to take to local meets/be a secondary just in case car for my daily that's getting to its inevitable first repair. 🤷🏻♀️
I am actually interested in it. Would have to drive it back to North Carolina. Think it’d make the trip?
Digging the face shave!
Ha! I tend to go 1 month with no beard, then 2 months with one. Usually just get sick of shaving!
Flawless car, my son has a diplomat xx damn good car
my only concern is the availability of mopar parts and stuff for repairs?
Mine's been sitting for a few years, so I just bought a battery for it and I'm going to change the belts soon. I'm going to also use mine's just to use and a cruise car or like a show car.😕🙂🤓🤠😎😏👍✌️👋👏💪🌾🍀🌿🍃🇺🇸
Yeah, I owned one and if I had space would happily have another one! Great example of Chrysler Caddy/Lincoln competitor! Great Car, now that being said , Very old , Many things broken/worn so 1,000-1500 tops..If it was perfect 5,000 But worn and old means lots of repairs on top of ones it WILL need...Good luck, thanks for the video :)
for five thousand it had better be a seventy thousand mile documented survivor, i love them and have had several, never paid over eight hundred dollare for a one, they are big beautiful and lovely, un fortunately, eighties cars are seen as bad eggs and no body respects them except for us few , you included, to me, mine is worth a million dollars, but if you try to sell it, it is a thousand dollar car all day long, i bought mine for three hundred dollars, broken and beat off of a guy hauling it to scrap, ten years and lots of parts years later, almost have the top of the line, ( being a mechanic who was young when they were and going to chrysler tech school to learn them inside and out helps too)!
anyway have a good day
It's nice. I have an 83. I would love to drive it😉
First car I ever drove to work and got all my tickets in lol
I love these old school luxery sedans, but I'm not in yhe market right now, please just don't let it get junked.
Yeah I won't let it get junked. I saved the thing from the crusher in the first place!
@@HelloRoad great, thanks :)
Put at lease all white wall tires😎💯
Lease?
i didnt see the mark cross edition insignia before, that means this car whereever it is now, is the very top of the line, a designer beauty, like the cartier version lincoln my son has
I love this car. My very first car was an ‘87 5th Avenue that I bought from my grandma. I also live in a state with no smog testing. How low can you go on price? :)
Nice! Make me an offer-it's gotta go within the next month! Happy to help ship. 😀
My mom and dad had one! His and hers type of deal
Theres a guy here selling one, wants 3k. White body, black leather. 126k miles. Was a Florida car so I'm thinking possible ocean rust, but I'll see when I look at it. Got it from part of a will, doesnt want it. Going to offer him around 1700 since hes had it posted so damn long
Be worth bout 5 bills here in nny,sweet ride tho,good luck homie
Hi I have a question, is it expensive to fix the 5th Avenue? I am planning to buy one
Parts can still be found, and it's pretty easy to work on!
P.S. the paint looks like that cuz ya never waxed it. Anyway you are right about the "Fine Corinthian Leather". Ricardo Montlebon himself said it was mearly a marketing term .
Idk is the used car market blowing up or anything, I’m looking into a 89 fifth avenue with 81k miles on it, excellent interior and exterior, having a mechanic checking it out next week. It’s listed for 6k, is it worth it? Roughly? Thanks!
Did you end up buying it? The market for these is all over the place. I've seen them run from $500 to $20k+. Not many of these left, but not a whole lot of buyers for them. $6k seems a bit high for me, but it does seem like prices are slowly creeping upward.
Is that as far as the seat goes back? Sat and one of these and loved it but the power seat was broken. Not sure if my 6'4" self would be comfortable in one.
Yep! It's not a large car on the inside. I end being pretty close to the steering wheel.
Thanks. Shame because I'd pick one of these up otherwise. I like the styling better than the Town Car and other similar vehicles of the era.
power seat goes well back far enough, i stand six two and that seat goes far enough to where i only can finger tip it
You say it's listed too high...and it needs work...then you ask why noone wants it....and, they still used the Corinthian leather after that car
I should fly out to Cali, buy that car, and drive it back to Texas...
If I had $2k I'd buy it in a heartbeat
Whats the price?
In Michigan it would sell in 2 seconds for $2000 ,sell it to the north east it will sell guaranteed
I love mine I just wish there were good mechanics out there:(
Cool Car 😀
Is the car still available? I've been looking for one.
Sorry, it's gone!
Someone needs to make a batmobile out of this
I know it is only two years later but I am looking for a 1985-1987 great shape Fifth Avenue. My first care was a Gunmetal Gray with Mark Cross gray leather 1985 Fifth Avenue. I loved the car but being at the time I knew very little about how to work on cars I sold it to my dumb ass brother who beat on it and then sold it for pennies on the dollar and still blames me for selling him a crap car. BUT I live in Michigan and I would need to see how much it would be to have it shipped or drive it all the way back, I do love driving though.
I am a fanatic lol. I would actually buy it, where's it listed?
Hello ! I really like this car, do you still have it after this 3 years?? I mean it's my first time in your channel...
Sorry no, it's long gone!!
Im 18 and got the 88’ version of this car with the 318 V8, I love this car to death and I plan on driving and fixing it until its unfixable
I would take and restore it, i am totally into Chryslers. But i‘m from Germany 😕
Donate it to a deserving student or working poor person who will appreciate it. It would also make a great movie prop if anyone is currently making a movie set in the 1980’s. Otherwise, you have a $1,500 car.
Ever since I saw one at a used car lot; I have wanted one.. unfortunately I didn’t have any money at the time but I saw a 87 with the 318, it was red on corinthian red leather interior, I have a video of it on my channel if your genuinely curious of it.. if I could have one for just a special weekend get away car I would totally get one.. but I personally want one blue with crushed velour blue cloth interior.. when I have the space in my garage and the cash I’ll treat myself to one maybe, thanks for reading
i would love one
I adore this car but the problem is I’m not in US and the regulations here not allowing you to import an old car should be 2019 or 2020 , if I can import it I will buy it from you buddy
Sorry, I don't have it anymore!!
Ship it to the UK ! I’ll give you £5000 (Stirling ) $6931 in US dollars for it ! Look great with my ‘88 Dodge Diplomat ! Love your channel sir !😀👍🇺🇸🇬🇧
You should detail the hell out of it and raise the price to 7500
Ill buy it! I remember you saying it was a 4 barrel. I'm pretty sure its a rochester quadrajet bc by this time chrysler stopped using the thermoquad. do you still have it?
No, sorry it's gone!
How much?
If you can't sell it for the amount you desire, fix it up and turn it into a "sleeper". Whether you keep the engine/transmission you have in it or replace it with a 440 or a modern Hemi. Nothing better than having an old "grandpa" sleeper car and leaving a Mustang, Camaro or Challenger in the dust.
So did you sell it yet or not? I had one with 336 thousand miles on it
Yeah, sorry it's gone!!
