I inherited one of these from my grandfather when I was younger. 440 engine, MASSIVELY fast if I stepped on it but the gas gauge needle would sweep like a second hand. I had to sell it both for the gas and it frightened my then girlfriend. it was fun though. one day while making a left hand turn in a left turn only lane, a brand new camaro in the lane to my right decided he needed to also turn left - after the solid white line. my car peeled open the entire driver side fender of his camaro like a can opener. not a single scratch on the New Yorker.
I had the same car. In high school my friends and I just picked up our liquor for the night when a couple drunk girls in a Chevy Vega ran into my ‘67 Chrysler New Yorker in the back. It totaled the Vega, put a small dent on the bumper of the New Yorker . So we took the liquor and left before the police came! Lol I miss the good ole days.
The family car I grew up with, learned how to drive, at 14 around the family trucking company terminal, was a 68 Chrysler Town&Country Beach Wagon! Dad special ordered when forced to trade his beloved 64 Imperial Crown Coupe in on. Dad ordered the wagon with every option available, including the factory towing package with hitch and 3:09 posi trac, with a honking 440/4 brl dual exhaust 350 hp engine! That car was so fast I had the speedometer buried more than once! The needle went passed 120, all the way into the clock! The engine was screaming and the doors sounded like they were gonna get sucked off! But that car lasted for my 5 siblings to learn an take their driving tests in! Dad finally sold it to a big Italian family for $500, in 1984, with 148,000 hard but well cared for miles. The only problem we ever had? Freeze plugs!
I owned a '70 T&C Chrysler wagon in the mid '70s. It had a 440, auto & 3:23 gearing. It wasn't much on 0-60 but that was where it started to shine. It would run an honest 135! We're talkin' of a 5000 + lb car.
Really? How did they hold up for you, Mr. Schermerhorn?? Were they all 1965-66 models or different years? Where did you compete? I heard that back in the 1960s the demolition derbies down south would not allow the big whopper Imperials (especially the 57-66 models which had those massive frames!) to compete in the derbies because they would win too often. Was that true? I know the old Mopars with the 727 automatics and and heavy light truck rear axles were the best built drive-trains but the added mass of the Imperial frame often put those big barge luxury cars even farther over the top to win. Any opinions on this?
🎶 I got me a car it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail! I got me a Chrysler it seats about 20 so hurry up and bring your jukebox money! The Love shack it's a little old place where we can get together 🎶🕺🏿💃🏽🕺🏻💃🏻💃💃🕺🏼

When flying down the quarter mile this thing has a nice whirlpool in the gas tank.

They found her and she's ready to dance. A hidden gem. It reminds me of my Dad .
This, ladies and gentlemen, is a C-Body. It's what's called "full size". I love these elegant whoppers!
Just love it. It’s awesome to see these kind of full size cars with plenty of power. Congratulations!!
Great launches and runs. That is a respectable time for all that metal. The chassis really looks set up right.

My great grand dad bought this car new in June of 1966. It has been in the family since new.
Looks to me like a Newport based on the grille and sail panel badging. I have a 1966 Chrysler New Yorker myself.
Mark is a great guy. I've ridden in this car. Smooth riding.

It must be aerodynamic effect of the fender skirts.
That is one awesome C-Body!!!!!
Wicked
that mustang was probably pissed that a car twice its size was side by side all the way down
12 34 mustang at 2 minutes
Fast and comfortable
Looks like a Chrysler Imperial.
I've had my New Yorkers 79 I was nineteen then I board mine out 40 over I had to chain the motor down kept breaking motor mounts
High compression TNT 440!
Im looking to buy one of these cars and my uncles dad has one, and he never drives it, its got a 383 mopar inside
So I wrecked 7 of these in demolition derbies....nicest looking C body Ma Mopar ever made.

I think that is a good looking car. I have a chance for a 64 Imperial with the 413.
I don't think my 70 Superbee sixpack 440 auto with 3.91 rear would turn a time that fast.
Still only ones with my
The car has a 66 Newport grille. Is it a newport or a New Yorker?
Shit,that boat moves !!! MOPAR or NO CAR !!!
Them mid 60-70 Chrysler are even greater, stock cruisers

Beat me to it!!!
@@JrGoonior 👍😂
Must be a big C.I. wedge.
Thats a lot of car to be pushing done the strip
Interesting. What cam? Your final speed is a bit low for the time. You probably had to shift to 3rd.
Comp XR280HR hydraulic roller
Is this quarter mile 12 is good for that 4000 lbs boat
YES!!!! It takes a little bit of TORQUE to get this thing moving. Rear gear ratio will play a part in this also.
what engine
512 Stroker
Hey there, what mods do you have on the 440? What ratio are you running?
