Nice car. I am too an old Forabodies member that is looking to move into a C body. Nice find. I hope to follow in your footsteps.
What's your A body handle?...I kept mine the same but it might have to change once I find the right C body.

My cousin and her husband purchased the car new in 1966. Her husband passed away in 1994 and it has only been driven about 600 miles since then. I have verified this by the maintenance records. At one point the car had only been driven 10 miles in between oil changes. The car has been garaged all it`s life. The interior is immaculate. 127,00 miles. This car is as stock as stock can get. No radio or clock. I am looking for a radio if anyone knows where I can get one. I will be changing the valve cover gaskets first thing. Next will be plug wires and ignition components. I will be showing this car when I have weekends off from drag racing my 1971 Dart. More pictures to follow.

Dealer removed radio on day of purchase. There was a dispute over the cost of the radio. So my cousin told them to remove it. I would sure like to find one. Does not matter if it is working or not.

Really nice my friend! That Murray B. Park outfit may have a radio for that car.
1 question, how does the cloth part of the drivers seat survive 122K miles still looking new? any upholstery work done?

I was informed last night that the seats were re-done in 1989.
Wow, that is an amazing story about the radio. I never have the radio turned on in my 78 NY'er. I would rather listen to the engine drone since I don't drive it everyday. The flowmasters on my NY'er sounds lke music to me. I can understand you trying to find something to fill that hole in the dash.

Very nice Chrysler, I had one that I sold to my nephew, but it wasn't nearly as nice and it was pale yellow with black interior.
I also had a New Yorker 2drht that was the same color as yours, and that was one of many that I sold to Russ Moore from Rapid City SD. He would very likely have a radio, but it will most likely be overpriced.

Thank for the kind comments. I have shared them all with my cousin whom I got the car from. This car has been garaged for 46 years, and it shows.
