Chrysler New Yorker (1956)
for sale

Price: US $5,500.00

Description:

Selling my 1956 Chrysler Texas surviver, it has been in my family since 1973. It was bought used at a closed Chrysler dealer auction out in west Texas. Story goes it was traded into the dealership in 1966 driven behind the dealership and parked left to sit there until the auction. My father bought it, bleed out the brakes put a fresh battery in cleaned the points fired it up and drove it back to Waco Texas where it has remained. My father bought it as a parts car for his 1956 Imperial which was a family daily driver at the time. Fortunately for me he never stripped anything off of it and decided to give to me years ago.
I have too many cars in my family collection and it is time to find this VERY SOLID RUST FREE fantastic driving car a new home. It has always had garage storage during our 43 yr ownership. Now with this said the interior is presentable but was baked / dried out pretty good by the west Texas sun before dad acquired it. The right rear fender quarter panel also was involved in some sort of fender bender and repaired some time before dad bought it, but it does not appear that it was very serious. This car has been off the road and sitting since 1998, however I recently rebuilt the brake system with silicon brake fluid, cleaned out the fuel system, rebuilt carburetor cleaned points and plugs. The power flight transmission was completely rebuilt back in the late 80's and has traveled only about 12K miles since. Now with this said the shift cable seal has dried out some from sitting and allows the transmission to leak if it sits to long. The engine and transmission run and shift strong with no known issues with exception of oil leaks caused by age. When rebuilding the brake system I discovered the vacuum brake booster's diaphragm has rotted out with age. So no power boost, however bakes will stop the car wonderfully, just with a little more effort from the driver. Booster can be rebuilt by a company in California, however I just have not had the time to send the booster off to be rebuilt.
I will be glad to answer any and all questions you may have!
This car is being sold as is with no express warranty implied!
