I don’t know these cars well.

No price given. Their usual process is to try to sell cars whole and if they don’t sell, they will put it out in the yard for picking.
It has a B series block, not sure if it is a 361 or 383.
Drum brakes. Pretty basic car.
Good luck!

1964. Looks like a New Yorker badge on the fender so should be a 413 originally. New Yorkers, like Imperial, always got the big engine for the year model (Hemi's in the mid 50's: 331/354/392, then RB: 413, 440) until 1975 or 76 when you could get either the 400 or 440. Newports got the 361 in 1964 I believe.
1964's are ugly IMO, it was the last awkward styling year for Chrysler.
 
Look at that rear window/body design.

I bet the same person did the 68-70 oddly curved rear glass.

It's almost the exact same curve, just part of it is the metal surrounding the glass.
 
Looks like New Yorker emblems to
Me.

It was not an RB engine. There was no Raised pad like you see on 413, 426, Hemi or 440 blocks.
 
That's a cool car and looks clean and complete. I bet that would be a nice cruiser.
 
Wow that's interesting, "the spot" here just had two of those models as well. One was an Imperial and a two-door, both were white and both had the 413 (I think). The 727 was in the trunk of one but I decided not to bother as it was the old style transmission. Both cars were in very solid condition though.
 
i hope the hinge is gone on the door... kinda looks like cowl thing going on there
 
We had a 64 New Yorker which had a 413, and I thought all the New Yorkers did. The fender emblems look right, and the grill emblem too. It also looks like it has the rectangular steering wheel, which wasn't in the lower priced models.
 
In 60 years it is entirely possible that the original engine crapped out at some time and any old big block was found and used to keep the car going.
 
I use 63/64 Chryslers for parts cars for my fleet of 61 fury’s. Mainly for the bigger brakes.
Windshields,inner fenders,radiator,floor and trunks etc.
Looks like it has the square steering wheel?
I would be interested in car.
 
It’s funny you mention that?
I had a guy buy a rear window out of a 63 300 parts car.
He was building a superbird clone. Said it was the closest thing he had found to a superbird window.
Not sure what the end results were?
 
I looked for NY on their inventory list and could not find it?
I would buy this car if it’s reasonable?
 
i would like to have the trans and converter from it.
 
Looks like my 64 New Yorker! Always loved the 63-64 Chryslers. I've had a bunch! I'd be all over it if it wasn't on the other side of the country!
