Henry Blair's White 1978 4-Door Chrysler New Yorker Brougham


When I went to pick up my wife from work tonight, I turned left in front of a small car of some sort that I thought was approaching in the right turn lane, but I was wrong. The car hit mine in the right front fender and right doors. It hit so hard the dashboard buckled. Not wanting to let me down, the car could be limped to a parking lot so my personal wrecker service could pick it up. The small car was toast, or less. The poor lady got saved by the air bags, but had a leg injury and was in shock. She was flying, but I am the one who caused the accident.

I will have pictures and a list of stuff for sale out soon. The car, a 78 NYB 4 dr, has a perfect green leather interior and all but the hit parts are excellent. The 400 engine has a Summit cam, Edelbrock Performer manifold, Edelbrock 600 Carb, HP manifolds, and had all of the lean burn removed. It ran like a cat with its tail on fire. When I took the engine down for the cam, it was the cleanest engine inside I had ever seen. No bad stuff any where, and no wear at all. I also have a complete green velour seat set for the car.

I am in the market for a very clean 74-75 Imperial or 76-78 NYB, 2 or 4 door, that I can use as a daily driver as I did the NYB. I put 15K miles on it in the past year. Let me know what is available. I will travel anywhere for a good car.

Depressed, but uninjured, and feeling real dumb.
