Vehicle Description
Gateway Classic Cars of San Antonio/Austin is happy to offer the
highly customized 1968 Chrysler New Yorker, aptly named "1 BADD 1",
that was featured in the Jan 1990 edition of Mopar Magazine! This
New Yorker is a 440CID powered custom from years gone by! Sporting
a 4.25" front/3" rear roof chop, shaved handles (with keyfob
poppers) & completely lowered custom suspension designed by Mike
Helm Racing that utilizes both chopped front springs, as well as
10" Koni coil-overs in the rear, to give it that aggressive, low
slung, stance that you see. Finished in a "Slap You In The Mouth"
Pink, layed down by Jesse Warren, & some wild 80's mechanical style
graphics & pinstriping, applied by Jungle Jeff Graphics back in
1987, this car SCREAMS 1980's! The power is supplied by Chrysler's
big-block 440CID V/8 engine belting out a more than adequate 360hp
in its sophomore offering from the factory, and an even more
important 470 lb-ft of torque, for great acceleration at any time
for a vehicle this size. These New Yorkers are simply massive
inside, with room for six corn-fed adult Americans, with a trunk
sufficient for luggage for that many people to take a long road
trip. This V/8 is backed up with the rightly famous Torqueflite 727
automatic, noted then and now as one of the finest automatics ever
built. Massive all-new Budd power assisted front disc brakes were a
new option shared with Dodge and Plymouth starting in 1965, and
which were competitive with Ford's new front disc brakes also
introduced a full two years ahead of GM's full-sized cars. These
New Yorkers are simply massive inside, with room for six corn-fed
adult Americans and then some, and a completely custom-finished
trunk sufficient for luggage for at least that many to take a long
road trip! Cold A/C, AM/FM/Cassette, power steering, aftermarket
gauges & a set of aluminum alloy wheels round out the options. If
you are wanting a quick trip down memory lane, or are just looking
to stand out in a crowd, there is little doubt that this Chrysler
will definitely get you noticed!
