The 1966 and 1967 440 engines were what they called, 'factory hand balanced." They wanted them super smooth, like Cadillac and Lincoln engines. They stopped doing that for the 1968 models.
Unfortunately, the sound that starter makes tells me that is not the original Chrysler starter in that car, which takes half the fun out of listening to it start.
That starter actually went out since this video. Took a lot of work tracking down to get an original like big beefy starter that didn’t have the different gearing in it. It’s a huge size difference.
my grandfather’s 66 New Yorker had the same steering wheel and factory Airtemp air conditioning but no rear defog or heater - didn’t realize the rear heater was available on New Yorker/Newport - thought this was an Imperial only option
Wow. What a loaded car. I also was looking for the classic step down starter sound. Music to my ears, Wee, we, we, WEE, we we. A city block away one knew when a Mopar was starting. They are in my blood yet, had two Plymouth top line VIPs, only like 6000 made per year, both with 383 four barrels. 3:23 quicker rear ends, second gear scratch from huge sleds at 35/40 mph. Folks had 71 New Yorker, last high compression year, correct? What a cruiser!! This one has so many options I can believe a real TNT higher power option. What was that $50 for 15 or 20 more hp?? Often with high rise exhaust manifolds, quicker rear ends, dual exhaust and dual snorkel air cleaner. 12 mpgs kind of hard anymore. But a collector car, just get 600 to 900 miles per year to keep them working well. I’d love a 65/66 Imperial in shiny black with all that chrome!! Real wood trim. That was pinnacle of the Imperial line. A more separate line until 67. Keep on truckin.
The capacity of the standard issue ashtray was phenomenal. Looks to be at least two cubic feet of “flavor country” butts resting comfortably in there with plenty of room for more.
Oh yeah XD! And I’m not sure about that but I have wondered that as well. I haven’t taken it apart to verify if it’s wood or not. My guess is that it isn’t. But it’s better fake stuff than what comes in the later years lol
I've owned a 1966 New Yorker that my Grandfather bought new. Great cars!! I wish I had mine back. I was noticing your gear select shifter. I've never seen one like that on a 66. I think someone has changed it. Look at some other videos and ads for sale and you'll see what I'm talking about. Love your car. I'm looking now for one to buy.
Yeah I was wondering that too! I had a 65 exactly like this except for the shifter. It looks like the one out of a 1967 and up. I wasn’t sure if this was because maybe it was a late run 66 or had been changed.
I let my 65 go and it was my biggest regret. Wanted it back ever since. Took me a while, but I get my hands on this beauty :D hopefully I’ll have it the rest of my life, but if that ever changes I’ll hit ya up. But I hope you can find one sooner than later.
Nice eye on spotting that! It is the 6 window town sedan. I do think it was a special order. I’ve never seen another one online or in person with the Cruse control and rear seat heating options. Upgraded golden tone radio, power seats and AC as well. Only option they didn’t spring for is the power windows lol
@@tracy4good The.vent, front door, back door, and c piller window. Brochure I got in '65 shows all Chrysler roof lines in the back, and calls it an 8 window Town Sedan on New Yorker. Newport were 6 windows, no c piller glass.
Oh nice! I had that in my other new Yorker. As for the cold light, maybe just be a burned out bulb or the coolant sensor. The sensor has 2 plugs on it, one for cold and one for hot. Maybe just a crusty connector.
Could be. My hot light still works. Had that come on when I ran out of gas this year. Dang fuel gauge isn't working anymore. So I've been going out for 8 cruises at a time then filling up. Love these cars.
I really love these cars too. I've had 3 now, just can't get enough of them lol. I had to replace my sending unit on my fuel tank last year. So nice having a working fuel fauge again
You didn't mention "a/c" as a rare option, but yeah it was back then... Ohh, by the way this was a year and a half ago - you still own this car?? Are you still a member of the living 🤣🤣🤣
Hehehehe yap I still own this car and have my membership still XD Was thinking about making another video on it, it’s been a while since I fired the ol gal up
yap indeed I do. keeping with the 60's vib ya know lol. But I Hope to quit one day. I would not have if this car was not smoked in prior. but its been smoked in a bunch though its life and came to me with two full ash trays, so didnt figure it was going to make much of a difference if I did too.
What a beautiful, awesome dashboard!!
Yeah I fell in love Worly it myself when I first saw it!
Man that’s a shame, wish they kept it too
@@MangieRaccoonsGarageGeorgeous still have it I Hope?My parents Had a Tan one Trainy went out They Junked it😢
@JasonSheppard-uy9ij Yep still have it. Sad to hear about your parents tan delta.
When I hard her start up I found myself with a big smile on my face!
The old MoPars from 1962 to the late 1980s had the coolest starter motor noise.
Color of Interior design is Nice, and the Grill and Styling and 4 Door 😊

That’s really awesome! I never knew they did that! I’m glad I got one of the last hand balanced engines
Sounds like a well oiled machine.
A lot of love has gone into her
@@MangieRaccoonsGarage I can tell.

@ TJ it takes all the fun out of it!
I’ve never seen one of these with the Auto Pilot cruise control. Awesome!
Yeah I haven’t seen another one yet as well, In person or online.

That’s a cool old car right there!
Runs GREAT!
It made an 800 mile trip across the country no problems at all. Not too bad for as high mileage as it is. Was a great trip in this car.
The capacity of the standard issue ashtray was phenomenal. Looks to be at least two cubic feet of “flavor country” butts resting comfortably in there with plenty of room for more.
Lol welcome to flavor country! Should see the size of the one in the Delta. It’s one ash tray is 4x times the size.
Don't forget the 2 ash trays and each door in the back.
Nice fob on your keychain.
I don’t suppose that is real wood on the dash, is it? That would probably only be for the 1966 Imperial, if at all.
Oh yeah XD!
And I’m not sure about that but I have wondered that as well. I haven’t taken it apart to verify if it’s wood or not. My guess is that it isn’t. But it’s better fake stuff than what comes in the later years lol
Nice car. That’s a rare six window town sedan model. Do you still have the car?
Indeed I do and still runs great! I’ll have to make some more videos on it
It also has the rare auto pilot cruse control and rear seat + window heating.
According to the sales brochure, that is an 8 window

@@MangieRaccoonsGarage I'm trying to restore a 1965 Chrysler New Yorker it's 550 block engine. How does it feel to drive a 1966 Chrysler New Yorker
@@MangieRaccoonsGarage nice 👍
So much engine! I bet she scoots!
It sure does!
Too bad it is not a TNT car. Regular 440 with a 20 buck pie tin on the air cleaner. Ash tray full of butts is a nice touch though!
Just like the 60’s lol
I'm thinking that a 6 window New Yorker with a 440-4 was likely ordered special for trailer towing

Yup.. sounds like traveling to me.
What kind of pervert would order a New Yorker with crank up windows.
How ghetto !!!
The sales brochure refers to it as a n EIGHT Window Town Sedan.
@@karltork6040 You mean the Chrysler sales floor brochure ?
That would include the windshield and backlight, I guess. Never heard that one before

I never get that green dash light when starting mine. My 66 New Yorker has a 360 in it now but overall same setup.
Oh nice! I had that in my other new Yorker. As for the cold light, maybe just be a burned out bulb or the coolant sensor. The sensor has 2 plugs on it, one for cold and one for hot. Maybe just a crusty connector.

I just got my 66 New Yorker this year after trading my 80 Firebird Trans Am for it.
Man both are nice. But I probably would have done the same

No seas amarrete. Mandarlo al taller para hacer una afinación!!!! Ese auto ni siquiera arranca.
Yeah that’s it
You smoke in that car ?
Shame on you !
yap indeed I do. keeping with the 60's vib ya know lol. But I Hope to quit one day. I would not have if this car was not smoked in prior. but its been smoked in a bunch though its life and came to me with two full ash trays, so didnt figure it was going to make much of a difference if I did too.
