For Sale 1976 New Yorker

C-pillar Roof section painted in silver would be another variant to try out.

Ugh. No. I already know that would make it worse. I think the entire issue is dead now.

Works alright with a 50s Body line.

You are a mean person. It's a good thing he isn't a millennial.

I'M OFFENDED! RFA!! Just because I'm an old white man with a hat doesn't mean you can stereotype me.

So now you're gender biased, too.

So many variations of these in a certain area of Clinton Township, MI circa 70s/80s. Black/gold stripe very popular. If parked in the driveway, I'd assume a soldier lived here. Maybe a captain.

Very RFA of me. House needs a fountain.

Folks, this 1976 NYB has been sold....about 2 months ago. I talked to the owner and it went to an auction house in NC.

I must have looked at this thread 10 times. That NYB was the nicest one I've seen in a while with a good price. I'm surprised it didn't find a buyer and wound up going to an auction house.

It is a Formal... I think it was priced right at the realistic limit where it was too much for the "DUBS" crowd to grab her, but not so much as to chase off the serious enthusiast. For all the cars that languish at $5k with lessor colors and/or beat up interiors... this car was a real winner. But aside from a few lucky sales and some really ambitious flippers... $2500+/- will make most Formals move too much more and they tend to hang around.

We Formal guys watched an interesting year of sales that had me wondering about the prices, I see way to many long sales out there and too many cars with years on the market trying for higher $$. It would be nice if I was wrong.

I've yet to see any Formal actually SELL in the teens.
Anybody?

Hello?

Any formal??

I know I’ll get chastised for this, but a friend sold his bluesmobile earlier this year for right above the teens....

I stand corrected.
... any unmolested Formals....

 

[monaco75]

Ouch

I wonder how long the dealer in Milbank, SD sits on his inventory with the Yuge prices he's asking. He does find the nice ones tho.
