1967 Chrysler New Yorker with 49,500 miles

This is one of those cars that you've dreamed about. If I were to guess, I would say this car has never spent a night outside. It's had 3 owners and the third, who has owned it for 25, is a local retired sheriff and used the car mainly for parades. The only ware I can find is a hole in the floor mat where the 1st owner layed his cane. It's all original except for the paint. It suffered some hail damage to the paint so it was repainted about 30 years ago. The work is very professional and had a cost of 2600. The engine is a 440 and the engine compartment is pretty standard. I can provide photos of it being in parades over the years.

It's funny how I absolutely hate silver on every car and truck except 65-73 C bodies. For some reason they make it work.

I wonder "ware" you are going to find someone to spend $15k on this one.

Personally I dislike any silver car..
This car looks very nice..
But the lack of options detracts from how nice it is...
Someone is going to have to really really want this to spend
any where close to the 15G asking...

I think mine is very nice, only light Blue.and factory A/C. same Interior, four door hardtop. 106,000 highway miles,
I would be happy to sell it to a good home for $3,500.00 Dollars.
That would leave $12,500 to go buy another car!

This Redding car looks awesome. It would tempt me were I in the market.

I'll agree that silver (and other metallic shades) really work well on '65-'68 slab-sides and this one is no exception, especially w/the blue interior and black vinyl earmuffs. Is it me, or is something funny about that carpet? which I THINK with that fabric shade..... would be a darker shade of blue, or maybe black; maybe it's the lighting. What's strange here, option-wise, is that (presumably) the original owner sprung for either 15" wheels or disc brakes, (the hubcaps for which look REALLY good with silver on this car) but not much else. Still if you want the "swank" factor of a New Yorker, without power options to bother with; it would make a VERY nice driver for someone. Exactly "ware" that someone who'll pay $15K for this one I'm not sure. Evidently the seller feels that being in parades warrants a steep premium....

Carpet looks ok to me. I believe the interior is actually turquoise, not light blue, and that might be what's looking odd to you. In photos, turquoise often seems to loose some of it's green, making it look blue.

It's actually quite common to find very low option cars in pristine condition. The reason being is that the original purchaser often had to forgo most options in order to afford a more upscale car. In this particular case, he was likely very proud to have a New Yorker instead on a Newport and cherished the car, taking very good care of it. High option cars were typically purchased by people who bought a new car every couple years, so they quickly hit the used car market, and had a much lower chance of being well cared for. Super-high option cars were often dealer demos, and treated like rentals right out of the gate, so they were also likely to lead rough lives. There are some good My Classic Car episodes about some super-low mile original cars owned by the father and son that run National Parts Depot, and a common theme that appears is that all of them are fairly low option cars.

I see that it's got a PA inspection sticker on it, so it spent part of it's life in the east, which might explain the surface rust in the engine compartment. Seeing that there are zero cracks in the steering wheel, I have to think it was never subjected to any temperature extremes, so it probably was put away in a garage just about every night, and really didn't spend much time out in the sun either.

Beautiful car, but $15K is pie in the sky. It would be tough to get that for a coupe, let alone a 4 door.

You often also observe the low optioned cars from private owners are that way as they are rarely used often just for short distances where creature comfort is not essential. Typical car of a retiree.

I think silver looks good on this car because it reminds me of a silver ingot
