The 1966 New Yorker is one of Chrysler's classic large C-body automobiles and this example retains much of what makes these cars interesting: the big 440 V8, original interior, substantial original trim and the overall character of an unmodified 1960s American luxury car.

It has not been stripped or turned into a parts car. It remains a complete restoration candidate with considerable original equipment still in place.
