The front is basically a Lincoln with the nose stretched out. An absolutely beautiful-design then look at interior then try to convince me these cars weren’t underrated. They were made well too
Yes beautiful car, but they weren't "made well" at all. They always broke down. You don't see any of the cars today broken down on the side of the road like the old ones did. Always overheated. Beautiful interiors and iconic exterior's but shitty mechanically.
@@philly6266 I echo @Peter455sd, These cars were way better built than Lincolns and Cadillac's of the same year. They DID NOT OVER HEAT. They did suffer the same issues of ALL malaise era big three cars of vacuum driven components. The lean burn system was the first computer controlled electronic ignition system that had issues but nothing like Lincoln's vacuum and general lack of quality system components. My Dad owned repair shops from 1955 through 1994 and the 440 with the 727 transmission was the most reliable big block, drive train produced by the big three, from 1965 clear through 1978. We had one customer who owned one of these cars and was driving it and heartbroken when by Dad shut down his shop, as he'd maintained the car from 1980 on. If memory serves me correctly that car had over 150K and running strong, while people who bought Lincolns couldn't wait for the lease to end or sell them as soon as warranty was up. Total junk. I'm not sure you have a clue of what you speak.
Gentleman, this is Bill, the guy doing the walk around. For starters this video was prepared for Bring a Trailer for it to be listed in the auction and I had no clue until yesterday that it had 12,000 views and tons of comments. Little disappointed other car guys question my credibility because this car doesn't have a price or listed on my website. I bought this car SPECIFICALLY to be listed on Bring a Trailer, an online AUCTION site! I even say in the video that it is prepared for Bring a Trailer and at the end I specifically say, "good luck bidding". Not sure how that makes me shady or crooked. Pretty shocked about that. I have sold 26 plus cars on BAT with stellar feedback! Maybe some of you don't know what BAT (Bring a Trailer) is, but once you do you will understand why it is not priced or listed on my website. As to all the crazy comments about how I am making excuses for this car. Although it only has a tick over 500 miles, it is STILL a 43 year old car. I go around and point out every singe flaw I can find, no matter how minimal. MOST buyers just buy these cars based on my pics and videos so I have to tell it like it is! I would think most of you would appreciate the honesty and transparency. And we try to do no more than we have to in regards to trying to keeping it totally original. If it needs new plugs, or fluids or tires, or brake boosters, or whatever, we want the car to be road worthy. Again, it is a 43 year old car. So for those who are truly buyers, this car will be hitting Bring a Trailer in the next couple 2 or 3 weeks. And keep in mind, only the BEST cars are accepted on BAT! Thanks guys and gals!
Hello Gregory I will announce when this car goes live for the seven day auction on bring a trailer. I am hoping between today and tomorrow it should be up. Thank you for the comment
Pay no attention to those negative nannies cars 40 plus years old I think it's fantastic your walk around shows all visible issues that's all we can ask for really without actually driving it I had a 77 i loved it mine was all white with white half vinyl roof and aluminum rims which were aluminum with the outside of the aluminum spokes painted white burgundy interior awesome car whish I had it back ;(
Back in the day, these were the pinnacle of achievement for the car companies, you had to be wealthy to afford such oplulance, if you were fortunate enough to purchase one of these you were rewarded with the finest ride of the day and total comfort. Beautiful automobiles.
I had the same New Yorker, but with the red leather interior and white top. The optional digital display stereo could be problematic, mine was. I had the gutless Lean Burn 400, ran great, but the 440 should have been the standard engine. To date it was the most whisper quiet and softest driving vehicle I’ve ever had!
My parents had a 75 New Yorker, a beautiful car. I remember many long trips in it. 76-78 New Yorkers inherited the Imperial styling, which I liked just as well. A friend at the time called them giant Mopars!
The New Yorker Brougham was an Imperial in all but name. The Imperial styling was new in 1974-75 and the Imperial name was dropped after 1975. The NYB name was applied and the car was decontented most of the standard equipment on the Imperial was made optional on the NYB.
Such a beautiful car! One thing I have never figured out with how some dealers prep a collector car for sale: why oh why do they insist upon using a parts store "close enough" touch up paint and brush touch up paint on chips? Yeah I know the little touch up bottle is only a couple of bucks vs. paying a professional painter $250 to mix up an exact blend and use his skill to expertly fill in chips so they don't stand out. Kudos to you and the dealer you bought the car from for actually doing reconditioning and trying to make everything to be in working order. More and more I am finding that even so called classic and collectible car dealers are doing zero reconditioning/repairs - some are not even doing a proper detailing, opting instead just for a standard in-house wash and vacuuming before lumping it out with the other sleds for sale.
Good morning! I actually did have the paint mixed to the factory specs. Of course it's rarely NEVER spot on. Good thing is, it can be washed out with some thinner for someone to try again. I do the best I can do. Thanks for the positive input!
@@TeddySanFran list of interior problems? Try doing a 7 minute walk around video and try to get everything just right. The interior overall looks perfect when you open that door. As I am walking around I saw maybe 2 flaws that I picked up and mentioned. I am very transparent with my description.
@@christianbugatticg Thank you for replying, and yes it can be fixed. Usually I have had painters who start with the factory mix, then tint/age it and do some sample spray outs to find the best match. Every painter seems to have some of their own tricks for how to fill in and level the chips. I've had the greatest success with hard to detect paint chip fill ins on white and lighter colors. This 1976 car is 25 years old and even though it is very low mileage the paint has aged. That, and the original paint is NLA means that it needs a painter with a sensitive eye to do this right. This appears to be a very nice car that if the next owner is willing to spend the time and money it could become a genuine stunner.
I never thought much of Chryslers until I road in my neighbor's 1976 New Yorker sedan. I have owned Lincolns and Caddys but the quality of the interior and ride was whisper smooth and I could never feel it shift gears. Total respect for them. I have a 2004 Chrysler 300m and same kind a quality, ride and comfort. Handles like a sports car and looks awesome with 20's all around on Boss chrome rims.
My mother had a Black on black with burgundy interior when we were kids. Here's was a 1976 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham 4 door. Loved loved that car. Funny thing is she was only 4ft 11 inches tall but she loved it because the seat was electric so she had it up as high as it could go & forward all the way lol. She loved that car. She bought it new the year after I was born. Would love to own one myself
The radio has a memory saving battery (looks like a white AAA battery) that my have leaked and damaged the circuit board. I had the same radio in my 78 Chrysler Cordoba. Mine had trouble with left audio channel and that battery leaked acid and damaged the PC board trace. I was able to repair my radio but that was over 30 years ago so who knows condition of this one. The battery is easily able to be removed with a small pair of side cutters after removing top cover of radio.
LOL! My first car was a 66 300 (same body but with the 440, suregrip, handling package and bucket seats). I loved that car. You could fit seven people in the cab and four more in the trunk..... Don't ask me how I know.
My dad sold these new. He had a demo of one with the Touch Tune stereo (Which I believe this one has, got a glimpse of it but hard to tell, the camera moved around too fast). It was the coolest thing to see at 7 years old. All he had to do was punch in the numbers then enter and it would tune in a station. I think it was the first fully electronic tuned radio offered from the factory in the US. If I had the money I would buy this in a heartbeat.
Beautiful car I remember back in the early 80s when I was Mechanic I had a car just similar to that come in early 72 it had an airbag and anti-lock brakes I think those two things were very much options or just a test vehicle I wonder whatever happened to the car.
Buick, Lincoln, and now Ford don't make a full size car. My wife refuses to drive SUV's and I can't stand the ride of a truck, since that's what I drive daily. The problem with the malaise cars is mileage and all the vacuum issues of emissions, so we're looking into alternative emission system or even drivetrain swap. For what manufacturer's want for a new full size car, those who still make them, we have plenty of room to build a classic restromod cruiser. LOL! What are people supposed to do? I mean seriously.
I had a '77 New Yorker 4dr with the 440 Lean Burn engine. Absolutely the worst engine in any car I ever owned. Very unreliable in cold weather and once the engine did warm up it was hard to start.. The car was smooth ,quiet and comfortable when running. There are HEI conversion kits that solve all those problems. Too bad I did not know about this in 1985. Beautiful car..really! Thanks for posting.
I missed this one. Never was a Chrysler fan due to some problems but they are pretty cars. Better era. Better individually looking cars. I hate todays cars.
This car is an Imperial.. the brand was discontinued after model year 1975 and Chrysler repurposed it as the New Yorker Brougham. Google provides examples of both the Brougham and the Imperial eagle hood ornaments. Perhaps the eagle was part of an option package.
Not the electronic control box on the side of the breather....? There's a giant Carter lurking underneath that thing.....👹..... Think I'm in love though....❤️
my grandfather used to have one like this but his was a 4 door with red leather and white color outside it was a beast of a car I loved it but I forgot how much mileage he had when he sold it and it was in mint mint condition
Chrysler's Leather Interiors put Lincoln and Cadillac to shame. For a 1975 car, there is NO comparison to this fabulous interior! The only design that sucks are those rims. They look like they came from a JC Whitney catalog (anyone old enough to remember JC Whitney?) I also believe the New Yorker had 4 Wheel ABS as an option. Only car in the world at the time with 4 wheel ABS (Lincoln and Cadillac were just for the rear wheels).
Amazing it has that many rock chips with only 500 miles. Someone who buys this to drive will be investing several thousand dollars down the road. Not being driven and sitting causes problems once you start regularly driving them. It’s a beautiful car indeed.
I like Chrysler new Yorkers I have a 1984 Chrysler new Yorker and a 91 Chrysler new Yorkers 5th Avenue the 84 has one dent other than that all it needs is a paint job lol
If my Granddad WAS here on this earth He was a mopar man brought a 75 Grand Fury Brougham with a 400 V8 this New Yorker Brougham i can see him in lURUXY just floating down the Rd in it
Hello!! It’s set to go live in the next couple of weeks! I have 300 plus detailed pictures as well as a cold start video and driving video. I’ll announce when it goes live! I appreciate it!
You know that was a topic of debate. During the auction some experts came on the thread and said that was something that could have been ordered from the factory. I cannot say with certainty, but that being said this car was untouched!
That rear "package shelf" should be made of stiff cardboard material. Neve seen one on any make made of "leather". It is made to look like leather, but is not. Super nice car, good luck with your auction.
Hey so I only market my cars on CZcams and then sell them on Bring a Trailer. Reason being is that BAT has a huge audience and I want to put my car in front of the most eyes!! You can call me and we can certainly do some direct deals before I submit them to auction! Thanks! Bill 843 294 7777
Other than the 77 pinstriping, and the New Yorker Brougham badge being replaced with the Imperial badge on the header. . . The car looks extremely original condition. . .love those bumper corner guards!!!. . . Lovely NYB.
The 1974-1975 Imperial was basically the same as the 1976-1978 New Yorker with subtle differences. The rear side reflector/marker lights are different on the Imperial, the dash is slightly different, the vinyl top is a little different on the 4-door models and the 2-doors without the special roof, like this car has. But basically the Imperial & the New Yorker were identical. The biggest difference was a lot of standard features on the Imperial were moved to the options list for the New Yorker.
@@toirmetalshaping Yes & no. The Imperial had 4 wheel disc brakes, it also had auto headlights. What most people didn't know was you could special order a New Yorker with those features, even though it was not offered on the standard options list. Chrysler never knew how to market the Imperial, that is why it was never a sales success, because they were superior to a concurrent Cadillac.
I just bought a 76 and its just as nice and its for sale 8950.00 my radio also dont work and Mine is a beauty too already pjt alot of time into it and its for sale on market place in illinois must see .
Wow what a car most comfortable interior ill love sleep in back seat look More comfortable sleep like a baby I'll bet it drive like a dreams and rooming interior it like a tank those car was huge Driving it Ill bet don't feel the road Play some 70 music take you back in Time man good feeling time capsule 70s are the best cars also the 60s too
Too bad about the paint chips and tearing the tire. Otherwise, wow! My dad bought a 67 New Yorker 2 door new with the 440 Commando. He was 28 at the time. In a world full of muscle cars he went for a pillow soft ride with huge power. One of his previous cars was a Cadillac. Muscle cars never tripped his trigger. He also bought a 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale, white with a super soft velour interior. That was the last of his cushy cars. He changed gears and bought Suburbans and Mercury Sables. He liked the 88 Mercury Sable with the 3.8. He definitely loved 30mpg on the interstates.
When I was a young teenager a woman in our church had one of these. Meanwhile one of her sons had one also, and her other son had a Lincoln Continental. I have no idea whatever became of those three cars though.
The trouble with buying a car like this as some sort of collectible or investment is that you can never, ever drive it. Every mile you put on this thing will depreciate its value since its value is in its 'from the showroom' appearance. Which is sad since this is an awesome vehicle despite its horrible build quality and lousy gas mileage.
I think you have to know where it's being sold and then that points you to the video here. They don't seem to be interested in directing people who only find the video, to the actual sale.
@@pt008 seems like it but he mentions that he would answer questions as soon as he could in one of the videos I watched but apparently not here. Guess I'll unsubscribe this one.
Actually if you Google images of these cars you will find several others with that same ornament. It could be that it could have been special ordered that way. Thanks!!!
This is going up for auction on Bring a Trailer in the next couple of weeks. Not listed for sale at Competition Cars. Bought specifically for auction! Keep your eyes on Bring a Trailer as it will be posted soon!! Thanks!
Nice car - but why is the batter negative terminal changed after only 500 miles? I have a 74 Newport with over 200,000 miles and still original. Also, hose for Dist. advance is off/missing. Rug looks like it damaged from wet spots.
Battery was changed and it was done before I received the car. Anything is possible with a 43. year old battery terminal. And there are no stains that I see. NO water damage.
Nice beautiful car. But I am dubious of this sales prep and mechanical inspection for this car. Buyer beware. It’s probably going to need a whole lot of catch maintenance and a thorough detailed inspection. I have no clue what it’s real value is. But it is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. What ever that is.
@@christianbugatticg eat my ass! I never said I didn’t like the car, ran across a lemon, Black with gold st regis top / every option, just had sooooo many electrical problems! My parents bought it for their business use. It was a ( hope its gonna start model) I totaled my Firebird, first snow. The Chrysler was given to me and replaced by an Eldorado. I borrowed the Caddy a-lot. The Chrysler was pretty, smooth and quiet when it wasn’t getting repaired at the dealer. 1973 to 1976 lemons! I traded mine in for a brand new 76, Caprice Classic coupe. The Chevy was much nicer, never failed to start. My parents had Imperials starting in 1960, first car we had w/ air conditioning. Thats when Chrysler was reliable! The dealer found two beer bottles in the driver’s door from the factory! In the 1976….I never bought another Chrysler product. I rented a few convertible models, they were goog, but not enough to buy.
Also gentlemen, many of you are saying the hood emblem is wrong. That is not accurate. You can go online and find many of them that had this emblem. I am being told you could have special ordered it that way. Thanks!
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....:-((
Yes he's right I'm in u.k but screw it im still buying a 70s lincoln one day I've always wanted one since I was a teenager even with super high petrol (gas) prices

Did you get the original hood ornament off of the owner? You do realize that ornament is off of a Chrysler imperial correct?
Definitely correct. That's an Imperial hood ornament.
This car is an Imperial.. the brand was discontinued after model year 1975 and Chrysler repurposed it as the New Yorker Brougham. Google provides examples of both the Brougham and the Imperial eagle hood ornaments. Perhaps the eagle was part of an option package.
It is the correct ornament.
You can see the New Yorker Brougham badge on the trunk.
@@christianbugatticg
It is not the correct hood ornament
Not the electronic control box on the side of the breather....? There's a giant Carter lurking underneath that thing.....👹..... Think I'm in love though....❤️
LOL!
my grandfather used to have one like this but his was a 4 door with red leather and white color outside it was a beast of a car I loved it but I forgot how much mileage he had when he sold it and it was in mint mint condition
Nice
Chrysler's Leather Interiors put Lincoln and Cadillac to shame. For a 1975 car, there is NO comparison to this fabulous interior! The only design that sucks are those rims. They look like they came from a JC Whitney catalog (anyone old enough to remember JC Whitney?) I also believe the New Yorker had 4 Wheel ABS as an option. Only car in the world at the time with 4 wheel ABS (Lincoln and Cadillac were just for the rear wheels).
Chrysler had the option on Imperials as early as 1971. At the time they were called Anti-Skid brakes.
Remember JC Whitney? I do. I'm 68. When I was stationed in the Philippines from'75 to'77 I got them in the mail..frequently!
Don't we miss JC Whitney though?? LOL
Premium transportation for the modern drunk trailer park supervisor
HAHAHA!!!
Wow what a car… I’m a sucker for those flip open headlights
Yes!!
Amazing it has that many rock chips with only 500 miles. Someone who buys this to drive will be investing several thousand dollars down the road. Not being driven and sitting causes problems once you start regularly driving them. It’s a beautiful car indeed.
Yeah, it can happen. We have had the car serviced and it is road ready! Thanks!
Nice car. It will need a lot of work if you ever intend to drive it from sitting for soo long. "Low mileage" vehicles are generally hidden money pits.
Service has been done. Drives perfect.
I like Chrysler new Yorkers I have a 1984 Chrysler new Yorker and a 91 Chrysler new Yorkers 5th Avenue the 84 has one dent other than that all it needs is a paint job lol
Back in the day, with a set of air shocks, one could haul hundreds of lbs of weed in those huge trunks..
I thought the purpose of these cars was more along the lines of transporting snitches before they went to sleep with the fishes.
Beautiful ❤️
thanks!
If my Granddad WAS here on this earth He was a mopar man brought a 75 Grand Fury Brougham with a 400 V8 this New Yorker Brougham i can see him in lURUXY just floating down the Rd in it
Cool!!
Jim Lahey approved.
Excellent reference!
That rx7 tho 😍😍😍
A keeper!! lol
Did this car get listed on Bring A Trailer? I don't look all the time, but I don't think I could find it on current or past listings.
Hello!! It’s set to go live in the next couple of weeks! I have 300 plus detailed pictures as well as a cold start video and driving video. I’ll announce when it goes live! I appreciate it!
Wow
Time capsule 😊👏
YES!
I own a 1983 Chrysler New Yorker and '85 Chrysler LeBaron convertible
Nice!
It's a shame that the original hood medalion wasn' tput back on the car. That one is for an older Imperial.
You know that was a topic of debate. During the auction some experts came on the thread and said that was something that could have been ordered from the factory. I cannot say with certainty, but that being said this car was untouched!
That rear "package shelf" should be made of stiff cardboard material. Neve seen one on any make made of "leather". It is made to look like leather, but is not. Super nice car, good luck with your auction.
Yes, thank you. It does look leathery! Lol
What's the dealership website ? I think we can do a few deals on some units if this is the sort of quality you offer in your collection.
Hey so I only market my cars on CZcams and then sell them on Bring a Trailer. Reason being is that BAT has a huge audience and I want to put my car in front of the most eyes!! You can call me and we can certainly do some direct deals before I submit them to auction! Thanks! Bill 843 294 7777
Other than the 77 pinstriping, and the New Yorker Brougham badge being replaced with the Imperial badge on the header. . . The car looks extremely original condition. . .love those bumper corner guards!!!. . . Lovely NYB.
The 1974-1975 Imperial was basically the same as the 1976-1978 New Yorker with subtle differences. The rear side reflector/marker lights are different on the Imperial, the dash is slightly different, the vinyl top is a little different on the 4-door models and the 2-doors without the special roof, like this car has. But basically the Imperial & the New Yorker were identical. The biggest difference was a lot of standard features on the Imperial were moved to the options list for the New Yorker.
@@EbonyBunny1 don't forget, the Imperial had 4 wheel disc brakes where the NYB dropped that to lower the price by 2K in 76.
@@toirmetalshaping Yes & no. The Imperial had 4 wheel disc brakes, it also had auto headlights. What most people didn't know was you could special order a New Yorker with those features, even though it was not offered on the standard options list. Chrysler never knew how to market the Imperial, that is why it was never a sales success, because they were superior to a concurrent Cadillac.
Thanks!
I just bought a 76 and its just as nice and its for sale 8950.00 my radio also dont work and Mine is a beauty too already pjt alot of time into it and its for sale on market place in illinois must see .
Did this Chrysler come equipped with REAR DISC brakes ?!? Secondly, is the dash CLOCK still operational ?!? Many Thanks Yo !
I don't think so. I believe the clock may have worked!
Can you share what this Chrysler ended up selling for ? Many THANKS Yo ! 💰💰💰🔍

Time man good feeling time capsule
70s are the best cars also the 60s too
It was amazing!
What a boat
Yup but pure gorgeous!
Too bad about the paint chips and tearing the tire. Otherwise, wow!
My dad bought a 67 New Yorker 2 door new with the 440 Commando. He was 28 at the time. In a world full of muscle cars he went for a pillow soft ride with huge power. One of his previous cars was a Cadillac. Muscle cars never tripped his trigger. He also bought a 1975 Oldsmobile Delta 88 Royale, white with a super soft velour interior. That was the last of his cushy cars. He changed gears and bought Suburbans and Mercury Sables. He liked the 88 Mercury Sable with the 3.8. He definitely loved 30mpg on the interstates.
Thanks! Yeah, even the lowest mile cars can be subject to wear and tear.
When I was a young teenager a woman in our church had one of these. Meanwhile one of her sons had one also, and her other son had a Lincoln Continental. I have no idea whatever became of those three cars though.
Would love to have them all now!
@@christianbugatticg Same here! That was back when they were almost new cars.
@@MillerMeteor74 If we kept all the cars we had!!
The trouble with buying a car like this as some sort of collectible or investment is that you can never, ever drive it. Every mile you put on this thing will depreciate its value since its value is in its 'from the showroom' appearance.
Which is sad since this is an awesome vehicle despite its horrible build quality and lousy gas mileage.
That is a dilemma
Nice car, but what watch are you wearing?
I believe it is a Citizens???
@@christianbugatticg Thanks. Nice!
What's the bidding process? Didn't see info and new to your channel. Thanks
I think you have to know where it's being sold and then that points you to the video here. They don't seem to be interested in directing people who only find the video, to the actual sale.
@@pt008 seems like it but he mentions that he would answer questions as soon as he could in one of the videos I watched but apparently not here. Guess I'll unsubscribe this one.
This will be offered on Bring a Trailer for sale. Should be live in a couple of weeks.
@@pt008 This will be offered on Bring a Trailer for sale. Should be live in a couple of weeks. Didn't realize people were seeing this video already
I'm curious how it got an Imperial hood ornament instead of a square New Yorker hood ornament.
Actually if you Google images of these cars you will find several others with that same ornament. It could be that it could have been special ordered that way. Thanks!!!
So,when is the auction .Larry
Auction is live now and ends in 5 days!
Coolest Car ever

Just wanted to follow up to be sure you found the auction website. The auction ends today late this afternoon. Good luck!!!
My only question is what are you asking for this Gem of a Chrysler?
Sorry you missed it but it sold for upper 30's.
listen how does the car runs how does the carb behave
A driving video is soon to follow
Where you going to park that monster these days.
..in about 5 compact spaces! or the wharf..
Does it peel out?
Oh yeah!!
You can make 3 mid size cars out of the same amount of materials now.
Exactly!
This New Yorker was the 1975 Imperial

Incredible. How much ?
It will be offered for sale on the website Bring a Trailer. Should be live in a couple of weeks.
Can someone please direct me to fuel lines for my New Yorker
Nice car - but why is the batter negative terminal changed after only 500 miles? I have a 74 Newport with over 200,000 miles and still original.
Also, hose for Dist. advance is off/missing. Rug looks like it damaged from wet spots.
'74 Newport is one of my favorite cars. My dad wasn't a Mopar fan but my friend's dad was. They had a '74 Newport and it was a smooth quiet ride.
@@524kirkd Thanks you sharing! They are nice road cars! Take care!
Battery was changed and it was done before I received the car. Anything is possible with a 43. year old battery terminal. And there are no stains that I see. NO water damage.
@@christianbugatticg Nice Car - Maybe the camera angle on the rug. Good luck selling - those are great road cars!
@@tonytrotta9322 thank you so much!
Is this BAD BOY STILL FOR SALE 🤔
Waiting for reply love it
Nice beautiful car. But I am dubious of this sales prep and mechanical inspection for this car. Buyer beware. It’s probably going to need a whole lot of catch maintenance and a thorough detailed inspection. I have no clue what it’s real value is. But it is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. What ever that is.
Be sure to keep your eyes out for the driving video, car was serviced in preparation for the sale
The dealer is a Barnum Brother, hence the saying there’s a sucker, born every minute! Yikes 😱
Can you expound on your statement? He has sold 27 cars and counting on Bring a Trailer with stellar reviews.
dumbest comment ever
@@christianbugatticg eat my ass! I never said I didn’t like the car, ran across a lemon, Black with gold st regis top / every option, just had sooooo many electrical problems! My parents bought it for their business use. It was a ( hope its gonna start model) I totaled my Firebird, first snow. The Chrysler was given to me and replaced by an Eldorado. I borrowed the Caddy a-lot. The Chrysler was pretty, smooth and quiet when it wasn’t getting repaired at the dealer.
1973 to 1976 lemons! I traded mine in for a brand new 76, Caprice Classic coupe. The Chevy was much nicer, never failed to start. My parents had Imperials starting in 1960, first car we had w/ air conditioning. Thats when Chrysler was reliable! The dealer found two beer bottles in the driver’s door from the factory! In the 1976….I never bought another Chrysler product. I rented a few convertible models, they were goog, but not enough to buy.
@@alexlucas3025 what was the comment about the dealer being a "Barnum Brother"? Make good comments or move on.
Also gentlemen, many of you are saying the hood emblem is wrong. That is not accurate. You can go online and find many of them that had this emblem. I am being told you could have special ordered it that way. Thanks!
Why would you buy a useless SUV when you can have this? Stunning.
Exactly!
買います、値段は？
I ike the Imperial..Green Hornets car?
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing petrol stations to only one state operated central gas station per city. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....:-((
WHAAAAAAA?!
Yes he's right I'm in u.k but screw it im still buying a 70s lincoln one day I've always wanted one since I was a teenager even with super high petrol (gas) prices
