asked to build a new yorker for T.V.

I have one....yeah, it'll have the pushbutton trans. Only the Letter cars had a console shifter. The motor mounts might be a challenge if you need replacments....I don't think anyone repops 'em. Imperial Services will rebuild your core, but be ready to wait a while. I actually bought my New yorker as a parts source for my '64 300 non letter since all I ever got from the parts monkeys was the deer in the headlights look. Cool Cars but you really gotta love 'em because they're not worth much even restored (with a few exceptions, like a letter car or one with crossrams etc). I advertised mine for sale and got a few bites...I wonder if it was those TV guys or somebody they hired to find one.
