Today we bring home a 1987 Chrysler New Yorker named Betty White. She is a beauty and very well preserved.

I worked on a car just like that in 2017 in Northfield Vermont for a guy named Richard L, the positive wire from the battery to the starter would not make a secure connection so I used a highly conductive metal washer and a 3/4 inch drive ratchet and that worked

I was 13 when this car was made. My aunt had a '86 champagne one with dark wine color leather interior and the little gills on the fenders. I know they are just K cars, but I have Always liked them Chrysler always had beautiful interiors, and the butter soft tufted leather seats were soo comfortable. The digital dash was cool, and the power buttons had a nice feel to them. They are just so comfy to be in, and just the right size. Congrats!

I was 7. I didn't appreciate these cars as a kid because we had a brand new Camry. But these old Chryslers are amazing now!!! Wish I had at least one.

Pretty car. I love how it talks about warnings and reminders. A friend of mine had an 88; K-car, but it was a cheaper model than the New Yorker, but it did the same "talking." Your dogs are beautiful; please have someone watch them the next time you back a car out!

I promise that the dogs are seasoned shop dogs and stay stay safely away from moving vehicles, and my wife was there watching the dogs while I backed the car. She won't allow anything to happen to her spoiled pets. The fur babies appreciate you looking out for them. They make random appearances in several of my videos.

Oh nice! My uncle had a 1993 New Yorker with padded landau roof and v6 engine. The car was so stately and elegant looking and the ride with its thickly cushioned seats was a dream. It really makes me sad that beautiful and luxurious 4 door sedans and the once prestigious Chrysler name, have all but disappeared.

Growing up, the pastor of the Word of Faith church we went to drove one of these in white- which by the way was paid for by the church. His wife drove a red Fiero. He ended up divorcing his wife and hooked up with the church secretary who drove a beater Chevette. Later there was an ad on the church bulletin board of a used "late model" Chrysler New Yorker for sale.

So a couple of things not accurate about what you said . First the 2.2 turbo was rated at 146 horse power which was really good for the time and second these cars never came with air ride so if the air ride still works on this car that's amazing. According to the factory brochure the car could have come with gas filled struts/shock absorbers and with the sport handling ( recommended with 2.2L turbo) included gas filled struts/ shock absorbers, firm feel quick ratio steering. You could also get electronic height control rear load leveling. But no where in the dealer brochure does it say anything about air ride. I would also say that the turbos often went bad on the 2.2 turbo engines so it's better to have the standard 2.5L EFI it was more reliable and gave you 101 horse power which was ample for those cars. I had a 1987 Plymouth Caravelle with the 2.5L which was the same size car and same platform for that matter and it got ample power out of that engine.
@Mopoor198416 күн бұрын
The electronic height control you speak of is a switch on the rear straight axle that turns on a compressor that provides air to raise the rear of the vehicle. Air ride may not be the proper terminology it was more like auto leveling.
