    Is this interior correct?

    Take a look at this really nice 6-window Town Sedan on Bring-A-Trailer.com. Is this a correct factory interior? The description says the darker vinyl is black, but it looks more like the dark turquoise used with that turquoise body color. 1965 Chrysler New Yorker Sedan

    More fender tag madness!!

    Thanks to all who responded to my thread about my 67 Newport. All the info you guys provided checked out. Now, I decided to decode the tag on my 65 6-window town sedan! No real mysteries on this tag, except one: The scheduled build date reads as 609, so that would mean June 9, 1965. BUT...

    Here are some hub caps that I have in my shop. I think they are C-body, but I'm not 100% sure. Can anyone identify the model/year of these units? Thanks.

    Here's a '63 or '64 Newport I saw sitting at a shop just north of St. Pete today. Kinda rough, but complete it would seem. AC car! And power windows!

    Exhaust fumes

    Hello all, I am still trying to solve the issue of exhaust fumes in my '65 Town Sedan. The trunk floor is completely solid; all body plugs in the rear valence are in place; deck lid weatherstripping is new, and expertly installed by yours truly. I have chrome exhaust tips just past the...

    Need a Windshield

    Hello all, I need a windshield for my '65 New Yorker 6-window Town Sedan. Does anyone know of a source for a new (or used) windshield for this car? The part number seems to be DW658T, T is for "tint". Classic industries offers 657T, but that it evidently for the hardtop, and not the...

    65 New Yorker has AC!

    Howdy fellas and fellettes, I finally got the aftermarket AC installed in the 65 New Yorker last week, with the help of fellow forum member Dave Baro. Turns out Dave and I live just about 15 minutes from each other, and over the last couple of years we've become good friends. The car...

    DO NOT USE TRICO CLASSIC WIPER BLADES

    Gentlemen and ladies, I am writing to warn you NOT to use Trico Classic wiper blades on your classic C-Body. I bought a set on Amazon about a month ago, and have had occasion to use them once or twice since installing them. TODAY, during a light rain, one of the rubber blades folded over and...

    Wiper blades/refills/ Electronic fuel pump.

    Howdy fellas and fell-ettes. After a great vacation in Rome and London, I'm back in Tampa. I did replace the mechanical fuel pump with an electric unit I had left over from one of the foreign cars, and it works just fine for the mighty '65 New Yorker. No issues, plenty of power, no...

    Electronic fuel pump 413?

    Howdy fellas and fell-ettes, I think I traced the knocking sound coming from the 413 to the manual fuel pump. SO, I removed the AutoZone fuel pump (which pumped fuel just fine) and was getting ready to install the Advance Auto fuel pump. I realize these units may well be made in the same...

    KNOCKING from the rear of the 67 Newport

    Hello fellas (and fell-ettes), I've got some knocking in the rear of the "67 Newport. I got 'er up on the lift, and cinched down the rear shocks, and that helped. Funny, the shocks would not move at all by hand, but I tightened them down and that made a bit of difference. STILL, I got...

    QUIET mufflers??

    Should I buy this 67 New Yorker?

    Howdy fellas and fell-ettes. Once again, ANOTHER car has come into my radar, and I can't decide if I should buy the car and get into another re-commissioning, or just pass on it. It's a 67 New Yorker, ONE OWNER NO ****, 4-door hardtop. The owner passed away 2 months ago at 96 rest his...

    Pertronix nightmare

    Hello fellas and fell-ettes, I am writing to inform you of a Pertronix issue that has baffled me for nearly 2 weeks, until I finally figured it out today. Mind you, I like the Pertronix kits, and the kits in my Riviera and Newport work flawlessly. I plan to use the kits on my cars in...

    Washer motor problem

    Hello again folks, I'm trying to restore the windshield washer on the '65 NYer. I bought a pump from Classic Industries, but it sounded loud and simply would not pump enough water to hit the windshield. They were nice enough to send me another unit free of charge, but unfortunately it's...

    Mystery: Exhaust fumes pretty bad

    Hello again, As I finally got my '65 New Yorker 6-window Town Sedan back on the road last week, a curious thing happened. All was fine for the first 100 miles of city and highway driving, working the bugs out. Then I noticed the exhaust tips on both sides terminated underneath the...
