Indeed, I am -- and would love to hear more about CM43M3C198408 's history, both prior to and under your ownership!

I just got it a week ago. Runs but not great since it’s been sitting for quite a while. Rebuilt the carb and gave it a tune up yesterday. Flushing the old gas and getting some new in it tomorrow. I’ve been trying to figure out why it’s titled as as 72 instead of a 73
It may have been manufactured in 1972 as a 1973 model-year car. The fender tag (on the radiator support, near the battery) and the VIN tag (on the driver's door) will confirm it. It'd be great if you could post pics of the two.

I’ll get some pictures when I can. I’ve got it at work so I can use the lift for a few things. Vin labels it’s as a 73. Haven’t checked the fender tag.

Looks like you bought CS43T3C112911 -- great color combo, look forward to reading more about your NYB.

As per my electrical gremlin query thread this is my recently acquired NY... CS23T3C273448.
It appears it was originally blue, was imported to the UK for a TV production company..looks to have a significant amount of filler in various areas(but floors appear good) as part of the repaint and is generally in need of some love to avoid it continuing its decline.

Thank you for posting. The tag will tell us more
A movie star, eh? Would be fantastic to see some pics of CS23T3C273448 in action
-- you could post them in one of these threads:
Movie trivia with MOPARS

Cheers!
For those interested, I now know of seven 1973 Chryslers in the UK:
--> three T&C -- as per this post by @v8brit . The green one is his and the yellow one is a friend of his
--> four NYBs, one owned by @sidsnot (turquoise 4dr hardtop, now burgundy), one by @IronMighty (a blue 2dr, now turquoise -- see above), one owned by @NEW YORKER 440 (2dr, color unknown) and a black 4dr hardtop owned by @yabadaba

Figured this was as good a place as any for this picture. Great night for a drive. Thank you again to @davidhill for the heater core work. Wishing you all an early Merry Christmas from DRK SD 73.
Good to hear from you. I saw the temps for Ill. for tomorrow, You're right, you need good heat on a Dec. night. the movie theater marquee was a nice touch.
I was trying to get the black 73 when it was for sale state side, missed it.
Do you happen to have the fender tag of CS43T3C246446
No, I don't. But I think with some sleuthing we can finfd the owner in the UK.
@Daly -- would love to see the fender tag of your car. I like the steering wheel that you added, it matches thew paint. Cool Newport.
These are the clearest pics I have of the tag. Short of taking it off and wire wheeling the paint off. Which is not something I plan on doing anytime soon.

Thank you for posting! Looks like CL23M3C11x20x ( CL23M3C118206 if I read correctly?) was originally painted DY2 Sunfire Yellow. I am usually a "keep it original" kinda guy, but IMHO the Y1-like paint that the car currently sports fits it like a glove. The lack of A/C (your car has the H41 heater only) means it will be easier to keep her in full working condition, and in Canada that's all good (I think I read a C on the VON, but am not sure). Congrats, and keep us posted on how she goes.
I can assure you where I am in Canada there are days and weeks where A/C would be nice. Lol

I did not know this ear of cars had a tilt only wheel. I know the T and T well and the straight no tilt. Ordered two cars in this era (1972 Imperial and 1973 NYB). one had T&T and other was no tilt but never knew there was a middle ground for MOPAR
