We all know there's no such animal as a '70 New Yorker ragtop. So, either he made a mistake or he does not know what he has. He does not indicate that it's a Newport anywhere.

Yes, but we can figure it's probably a Newport due to the 383 and the front bumper and grille.
There is a chance that someone switched the bumper and grille along the engine on a 300, but it's doubtful.
But for $2k, what do you want? Offer him $1200 and tow it home for $1500.
Yes, but that's not my point. Does the seller "think" it's a New Yorker? Did he buy it with that thought? Does he know or not what the car really is? I knew a guy who was selling a "'56 300 B." It wasn't, but when I tried to explain it to him the man came to tears. He thought I was calling him a liar.
Is the seller an idiot, or is he the subject of fraud? There is no indication in the ad that it's something other than a New Yorker.
He is probably not an idiot. He probably just doesn't know what he has. It has New Yorker trim on it, so he thinks it's a New Yorker. He probably dragged it out of a garage and looking to make a few bucks.
My point is that it's not a big deal.

I would swap a New Yorker grille into it. Along with door panels and seats from a 2 door New Yorker.

Were NY convertibles offered in Canada (but not in the US), much like Monacos were? Part of me thinks yes, but I never recall one being mentioned.

I can’t say I’m not surprised, what with you liquidating and moving out west and all.

You don't want something but dismiss the feeling?

True, but no time to take the drive. I thought I might be able to this Saturday, but now there may be snow.

Snow might make the price lower.

Really James? Flurries are not considered to be snow
Yep. Especially on a convertible.
$1500 will buy that car... maybe less if it's snowing.
