Car was really rusted from the trunk when bought.
Interior was a bit torn
dash lamps did not work
some problems with electrics
electric windows made funny sound
front headlamp turning doors worked from separate switch.
Engine was hotrodded, car was really fast, burned rubber easily when stepped on gas pedal.
Ride was OK, a bit jumpy due to "shorter" wheelbase (compared to -78 and older)
I had a 1981 New yorker and I miss it. I still have some parts for it, but I have a 1979 Newport which is a nice ride. The 318's are a good motor.
Hello.
I agree with you. I have 1979 NY in Bucharest, Romania. It's the only one in this country. What spare parts do you have for the 81 NY which still it's a R-body.
If you see this entry please give me a reply on nicolae788@gmail.com.
Thank you and all the best to you!
