The 1973 Chrysler Thread

Mercedes Germany

Does Mercedes include the amplifier as well as the atc servo and what is their price for either or both together? I am wondering how their price compares to the ones available from Performance Analysis Company?

Performance Analysis Co.

The last time I checked, Performance Analysis was charging $700 for both the amplifier and the servo.

@coco had alerted us back in July that two GE7 1973 Chryslers had moved to the Netherlands from the states. They have been for sale there since, and apparently are still available:

1. One is a 4dr hardtop Newport that was for sale in New England for a while: I posted about CL43M3C218286 a year ago and @Marv did so in May of this year; Dutch-site photos are here (video); the asking price then was $4.5k; the asking price now is 8,950 euros.

2. The other is a 2dr hardtop Newport that was briefly seen for sale this past June. @Rustyrodknocker contacted the seller and posted about CL23M3C177511, but it sold too quickly for either of us to get it. A lot of high-resolution Dutch photos are here (video); the asking price is 12,750 euros.

At least, for that price, the blemish on the LHS front fender extension has been fixed -- though the color match does not seem perfect in this photo. I was hoping to see the fender tag, which Rusty could not obtain from the US seller because the car was already sold by the time he asked, but the Dutch seller manages to not show it in any of the many good pics he took of the car...

In both cases, I am sure that @Olaf Seiler will approve of the cars' color combo

Note: I personally wonder how the importer manages to make money, given transportation costs and the asking prices back in summer. For folks thinking of moving a car to Europe, they might find it worthwhile to inquire about his process.

In fact, a friend of mine has now bought this Newport Coupe.
I expect the delivery from the Netherlands tomorrow at my shop during the day.
I'll take a few photos and post the fendertag here.
I'm pretty excited about the fact that the 73 Chrysler Twins will be based in town in the future. Twins pics to follow ...

May I introduce: The Chrysler Twins. Freshly delivered Newport. Some pics...

very cool, I like the Newport taillights better but your grille, especially the headlight bezels are way more shinier. Did you polish yours
or are they different? Also your paint looks way better, the Newport is a little dull, your paint is a really nice deep dark red

I like the Newport taillights too. But the NYer bumper is more massive and has no painted sheet metal underneath.
Indeed the headlight bezels are a miracle. I havent seen chromed bezels so far, maybe its a Brougham thing, but the last `73 NYer Brougham sedan I saw had matte ones. If u get closer to the front u would see the chrome is just bad, the camera just fixes this. Rechroming is on bucketlist.
Both paints are mostly original and nearly identical. The Newport just ran off the trailer after 2 days wet autobahn. I will shot some more pics, when Newports detailing is finished. I belive, u dont see a difference after that. The burnished red poly is exceptional in general. It changes brightness and intensity immediatly whith sun light intensity changes. Different shop lamps r bringing different colors, hood bright red, fenders dark brown. I like it.

I like the GE7, saw your car at the Mid Mopar Meet in September. Really great looking color. Plus your car has the Brougham trim that stands out and gives the car the special look

Thank you for the flowers. Unfortunately, the visual experience is marred by the area below the trim line that was painted matt black by one of the previous owners. That will change in the future. It bothers me a lot.
BTW: The Homberg meet should become an integral part of the calendar!

 

[Marv]

I just realized that matte black looking at the pictures again.

I'm in the process of getting all the clips for the straightened trim so that they can shine again after the paint repair. But its a huge amount of trim pieces compared to the Newport. Such close ups showing alle the dents and scratches.

 

[Marv]

a 50 year old car has dings and dents. It´s not a trailerqueen living in a heated garage but a car that gets used. Maybe next time you should park next to one of Carstens cars then yours will look like brand new

Good Idea. Next time I`m using the compassionate car corner for parking.It`s just bad when Carsten comes with the Hemi Superbee.

According to the FB post and the dealer's website, CL43M3C218286 is now sold.

Thank you for posting it here! Finished properly, including the right WW tires, this car would look quite sharp.

I see the fender tag in two fuzzy pics, but can’t discern the code stampings. Hopefully somebody here will get a photo for records. From the firewall, my guess is that the car was originally GB5 Brite Blue metallic.

From what we can see, she may have received some love recently but likely did not live a pampered life prior to the repaint: the dash pad is cracked, the steering column paint is discolored and flaking off, the original rim blow wheel has been replaced by a regular 3-spoke wheel (probably from a NYer or Newport), the rear speakers have been replaced by incorrect ones, the door panels are either dirty or worn — difficult to tell with low res pics — and the fender skirts are missing. The H53 AutoTemp will be costly to fix (I assume it does not work, given that the A/C is not mentioned in the ad).

Most importantly, I’d like to know what’s under that incorrect ‘$4k 6-months old paint job’: for the 5-digit asking price, and given what Trevor showed us of the floors, some before/after photos would be nice. In the same vein, a description of the "electrical issues" besetting the car would be welcome too.

Overall, to my eyes, a white top would go better with the body color and with the G6XW white interior. That could be fixed to the buyer's desire, as Legendary and Dante sell a white boar grain vinyl top for the 1973 2dr NYer / NYB. The white interior is a big plus in my book, even though the areas that tend to crack (where the butt sits) are not shown -- so more photos are needed given two threads seem to be loose.

Beautiful. Looks like CS23T3C106581 sports M45 fender skirts in some pictures but not in others. Do you take them off, and later put them back on, as the mood strikes?

 

[saforwardlook]

I have to wonder with those floors and the rest of the issues whether that car is a victim of some of the floods Texas has encountered in recent years. Anything from Texas with those issues makes me wonder.
