My $500 1972 New Yorker Brougham

[bonshee1971]

I found this on Craigslist in Albuquerque which is about 250ish miles from my house. Cost me a whopping $500 plus the $150 gas bill to go and get it plus the $50 car dolly rental. Its completely original with approx. 74000 miles. Besides the paint and vinyl top, its in excellent condition. Best $500 bucks i ever spent on a car.

After about an hour of cleaning.

Thanks. Been a lurker for a while but havent had a Cbody in a long time.

That car is looking a lot better already!

That's a decent looking car!

It had been sitting since 1992 uncovered. So theres a little fading of the carpet and top of the back seat and package tray. The dash has a few cracks in it. Think I might try dying the carpet on the floor and backs of the front seats to match the carpet on the lower door panels. I have about another hour or so of cleaning and vacuuming before im happy with the interior.l

Welcome to the site, nice buy scrap on a car like that pays more than you have invested gas and all, hell even derby dummies are paying 1200 just to smash em, brain dead mouth breathers.
