Let's go "yachting"!

[Professor Fate]

Okay, I know it's not an A body; but somebody needs to give this baby a home!
Came across this while perusing local auctions- I'd get it myself, but I'd need to knock out a wall to fit it into my garage!

Hansen Auction Group
Somebody, give this land yacht a berth! '70s Mafia at its finest!

 

[crj1968]

now THAT'S a bumper. looks like it weighs 500lbs!

Imagine that car in a 4 door... like this https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/77836591

 

[Mtrhead]

That's a whole yacht of car!!

.....but I'd need to knock out a wall to fit it into my garage!

Just get a running start with it. I bet it could customize enough space in short order!

 

[mopar head]

At least it`s a 2 door

 

[Professor Fate]

Think of the possibilities-
Stroke it's 400 and run it in Pro/Barge or Super/Fly!!
Start a trend!

 

[Lefty71]

I never knew any New Yorker was offered with a 400 engine.

Now that's a sled to be proud of. However, I have no business looking at C-bodies. They make me develop an itch that can only be scratched by owning one. I've slipped the trap so far but I don't think that will continue forever.

 

[RAT ROD AL]

@mopar373 has a nice one like this.

 

[33IMP]

It'd make a great tow car for CbodyBob's Imperial stocker.....

 

[66fyssh]

$3100 bid is respectable for that. But it looks like a cream puff. Except for the roof damage.

 

[Owen 340+6]

I have derbied 16 of them.. 2 doors and 4 doors. Went to north carolina from Wisconsin to get a 21k original mile black with red interior 2 door to derby in Illinois at the first 10k to.win derby wanted the cleanest nicest shocker mopar I could find. junked a couple 71-76 GM wagons with it but wasnt enough to bring home the 10k. Good.times and good bumpers!! Looking for more if anyone has any sitting around!!

 

[Owen 340+6]

Y'all are getting me excited. I cant even go over on FOCO any more lol it's like a **** site for a driver with all them C bodies

It doesn't look too bad at all- drop the headliner and dolly it out. Good opportunity to "upgrade" to a leopard print vinyl top, too!

I don't think I would have sold that car for four grand......

Really clean ones in WI/MN since we are such big derby states especially for mopars they can be had from $500-2500 ones like posted here being 2000-2500 and we still wreck em lol im suprised to see it sell that high in my opinion I've owned 30+ newport and new Yorkers Monaco's gran furys strip em and sell off what's good to others and build them. If y'all have never tried derbying. I urge you all to try it at least once!! Most fun you can have with your clothes on I promise you that

Done a couple of derbys when I was a lot younger, and they were a lot of fun no question.

I figured all those boats had the 440 myself until I ordered some parts for my engine out of one, and the counter guy asked which engine? I asked which other engine they had?
400. a 72 at that.
