1962 Chrysler New Yorker Sedan
HIGHLIGHTS:
The Heart: 2011 5.7L Hemi V8 with MegaSquirt MS3 EFI
The Transmission: Rebuilt 3-speed Torqueflite (less than 500 miles ago!)
The Chassis: Complete front-end rebuild with restored steering gearbox
The Vibe: A total "Time Capsule" interior with "Modern Muscle" performance.
BODY OVERVIEW:
With its unmistakable forward look and sculpted lines, this ’62 New Yorker carries its early '60s elegance with pride. The body is straight, solid, and unmistakably Chrysler, appearing to retain all its original metal. Chrome trim and brightwork are present and in beautiful condition (though on a Mopar car like this, trim being present is more than half the battle!). Overall, this is a very solid and original car.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW:
A high-quality repaint was done by Quarter Mile Muscle of Mooresville, NC. Known for their high end paint jobs, they didn't disappoint with this one. The Coral Grey is smooth, glossy, and true to the factory aesthetic. This thoughtful update honors the car's heritage.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW:
The seats have been recently reupholstered by Finish Line Interiors of Mooresville, NC offering a clean and comfortable ride. The dashboard electrical was restored, and the gorgeous electroluminescent lighting is fully operational and it looks incredible at night! While the steering wheel and door panels show some honest age, the original radio and turn-signal sliders have been restored and remain operational.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW:
Under the hood, this New Yorker breaks all expectations. The original engine has been replaced with a 2011 5.7L Gen III Hemi V8, installed during its time as a MegaSquirt EFI development vehicle. Managed by a MegaSquirt MS3 Gold-Box system and mated to a rebuilt original 3-speed Torqueflite automatic (rebuilt less than 500 miles ago)and features custom long-tube headers (aluminized by Calico Coatings) and a 3-inch dual exhaust system. A new radiator and cooling system keep the modern Hemi running perfectly. A complete front-end rebuild by CJR Restoration and precision-sleeved brakes/booster by White Post Restorations mean this car stops and steers as well as it goes.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR:
The "Sleeper" factor: surprise modern muscle cars at the stoplight.
The effortless reliability of modern EFI in a 1962 body.
The local NC craftsmanship that went into every major system.
WHAT YOU MIGHT HATE ABOUT THIS CAR:
Purists may miss the original engine, but they won't miss the 1960s maintenance.
Some interior plastic and trim show their age, reminding you it is a survivor.
DOES IT NEED ANYTHING?
Nothing urgent as this New Yorker is a turn-key cruiser. While the power windows are functional, they are "vintage" and occasionally require a helping hand to go up or down. The Oil PSI and Temp gauges are currently inactive, as are the reverse lights.
WHAT BUYER IS LOOKING FOR THIS CAR?
Perfect for the enthusiast who wants classic looks with modern performance! This Chrysler is ideal for someone who values originality in appearance but wants the confidence of a reliable, fuel-injected Hemi drivetrain–without compromising the original styling. It’s perfect for someone who values the "Race City" build quality and wants a reliable, fuel-injected long-distance cruiser that keeps its 1960s soul intact.
