Not mine. PP43M3F264474 is super-close to @traintech55 if I read his avatar correctly. She looks to be in superb exterior and interior shape. The engine bay is less great looking, with a missing heater control valve for example. From the ad:

Yes, this car, (and the Town and Country wagon also on the site) are within two miles of my house if anyone wants me to check it out for them.
 
Wow... beautiful triple pickle right there!

Only thing I'd do is tear of those ridiculous titties! These look great without them.

Looks and sounds interesting. How much trouble is the missing heater control? Would love to have an in-depth review. Is the price in line? Haven't been in the market for a "leisure" car in a long time, so I'm a little out of touch.....

Would also need to be shipped to Florida, so there's another grand or unless someone has connections?
 
Seems rare to see the vent windows in '73 especially on a hardtop.
My 77 New Yorker had them. No cost option then. I liked them because I smoked back in the 80s when I owned it and it was the only way to flick your ashes out of the car.... Learned that from my father. Haven't smoked for 32 years now....

Send me a PM. I helped another member get a car in Illinois, and the transportation to New Jersey was not bad.
 
Like @marko, I also bought a NOS heater control valve for Medina, my '71 Monaco. However, it is sitting on my shelf.

Why? Well, there is no question that it looks good. However, several folks I trust have had issues with the bakelite. There is a good discussion here of those original HCV and of their lack of reliability, and also of an Everco H1949 alternative that actually lasts. In my experience, the Everco valve does not maintain constant temps quite as well as the original, but it is reliable -- so IMHO it is the right replacement to go for. In fact, you will see many cars for sale that had Everco replacements made back in the 1970's, and the unit I bought is a "NOS Everco" not some new repro :)

Bottom line: the issue is eminently fixable. Good luck with the car!
