Hi gang, To make a long story short I took a call yesterday from an elderly retired farmer who was given my name from his grandsom,( who was a past PT patient of mine) about his 71 New Yorker he wants to sell. The high gas prices are one of the deciding factors etc. etc.. He bought the car off a local lot in 1981 and it was order new by a local DC. After talking to him for awhile I asked about color,condition, etc.. I was surprised when he replied it was a 2-door red, white int. and white top (most were green or brown I know I own both). Anyway, I drove over to his farm and out back in his old pole barn machine shed there it sat. I was pleasently surprised on it's condition. The bottom quarters at one time were re-painted, the interior org. and mint, dash mint, only minor rust. Engine comp. has all org. wires, components many paint markings.etc. but there 0n it's roof resides a power sun roof... Now, I copied down the vin tag #'s and I didn't see a M51 code , so it probably could have been added. It appears to be org. but does anybody out there have any info. on what to look for. Like power switch location, weather strip color, etc. All power works, it has the org. 15 special rims?, Even if the sun roof was added do you think it's worth 5,000. Thanks, I know it's not an E, B,or A body, but until I find that 6-pk 70 sport fury GT for sell, this would be fun to cruise in......Ray

here are some more pics.. The 2nd owner still has most of the org. paperwork. The sun roof is by the American Sunroof corp. out of mich.. There is no M51 code of the tag..It's probably an add on unless chrysler didn't mess with fact. S roof at the plant?? Ray

ASC did the conversions for Chrysler, have you looked for that "G" yet?

Dont know about 5 grand but I like. I seen a article about a b body sunroof car and they said it may not be coded for a s roof on the fender tag.

It is coded if you know where to look. The G prefix in the VON means it was sent out to ASC for the sunroof conversion when new.

FYI,1971 was the first year for Chrysler to offer a sunroof in the Fusey.
It was an expensive option and was installed at ASC.The same people who installed sunroofs in B and E bodies.IIRC,they did the Daytona and Superbird conversions,too.
Correct me if I am wrong
Good luck on the car.It is a neat find.Well optioned.

Thanks for info. on the fender tag....and sunroof installation Ray
