HIGHLIGHTS: Original-style presentation with modern performance!
Gen III 5.7L Hemi V8 engine conversion Original push-button
automatic transmission R&D test car for MegaSquirt EFI! Recent
repaint in factory Coral Gray Freshly reupholstered seats Power
steering and factory power windows Dual exhaust BODY OVERVIEW: With
its unmistakable forward look and sculpted lines, this '62 New
Yorker carries its early '60s elegance with pride. The body is
straight, solid, and unmistakably Chrysler. The metal appears to be
all original. Chrome trim and brightwork are present and in
beautiful condition (though on a car like this, being present is
more than half the battle!). Overall, this is a very solid and
original car. PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: The car has been recently
repainted and it shows-smooth, glossy, and true to the factory
aesthetic. Painted to the tune of $12,000, it presents beautifully
and really brings the vehicle's character as a well-preserved,
thoughtfully updated cruiser to the next level! This is a
high-quality repaint, done by Quarter Mile Muscle of Mooresville,
NC. INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The seats have been recently
reupholstered by Finish Line Interiors of Mooresville, NC offering
a clean and comfortable ride. The dashboard, steering wheel, and
door panels remain original and show some age, as is to be expected
for any original components on a vehicle of this vintage, however
the interior presents beautifully. Overall, the cabin feels like a
time capsule with just the right touch of refreshment. If that
isn't enough, the dashboard electrical was restored, and as a
result the gorgeous electroluminescent lighting is fully
operational. Talk about a space age look! Even the original radio
and the slider for the turn signals are restored and operational!
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Under the hood, this New Yorker breaks all
expectations. The original V8 is long gone-replaced with a modern
Gen III 5.7L Hemi engine that was installed during this vehicle's
time as a MegaSquirt EFI development car. At no small cost, the
Hemi is mated to the factory push-button automatic transmission,
blending cutting-edge drivability with period-correct cool! Power
steering, power brakes, and dual exhaust round out the mechanical
package, making this car both comfortable and capable. This car
sounds great, and steers tightly with no play in the steering. What
a cruiser! Mechanical repairs and upgrades: - 2011 5.7L Gen-3 Hemi
engine with MegaSquirt MS3 Gold-Box aftermarket fuel injection.
-New radiator, hoses, gaskets, and engine wiring. - The original
3-speed automatic Torqueflite transmission was rebuilt less than
500 miles ago with a rebuilt torque converter. - Complete custom
long-tube headers and 3-inch exhaust system. Headers were
aluminized coated by Calico Coatings in Denver NC. - Complete
front-end rebuild with steering gear box by CJR Restoration in
Winston-Salem NC, and new front suspension components. - Brakes
were restored to original specifications, wheel cylinders and
master cylinder brass re-sleeved by White Post Restorations. The
power brake booster was also rebuilt by White Post with new
diaphragm rubber components. This thing stops great! WHAT YOU'LL
