'66 New yorker queries

[Guest]

HEY, I just recently purchased a '66 Chrysler NY'er and am looking for some ( Relatively ) basic information about this car. It's a 2Dr 440 4bbl currently

But somewhere olong the lines a kid owned it and did some "hotrodding" to

appearantly make it "Cool". Air shocks, L88 scoop, dual Exhaust, wheels/tires

bucket seats, center console added etc...

You know the drill BIG and LOUD ( Loud being Audio and Visually )

And I LOVE it. Very 80's-ish hot-rod styling.

BUT a local friend of mine recently told me he thinks the car is fairly

stock in appearance paint wise. And Frankly I'm not sure.

Currently the car is white and red/maroon with matching interior.

After looking closer at it, all the interior peices

look Original in style and coloring and all the overspray matches the ext paint.

If anyone has any info on how I can track down vehic info as to how many

of these cars were produced, how to read my VIN info etc... I would be

Most appreciative.

Many TIA

Are you sure the bucket seats and console aren't stock ? They were available on the New Yorkers that year on the pillarless models.
