    If I had the money I would go for this cream puff of a car.

    Great looking car add factory aluminum wheels duel exhaust and a rear sway bar and have a great cruiser.

    Did that to both of mine yes 2 from 1985-1995 and if they could talk!

    This is IDENTICAL in every way to my old '79 New Yorker - condition, colors, interior, options, everything. I sold that a few years ago for just $1,400. These don't bring the money they should. And the seller is going to have this one for a long time, based on the asking price.

    Both of my black ones had those seats real comfortable for long drives.

    Many 24 hr drives in mine pa-ns.

    Suspension upgrades (cop speck) and good tires is about all these things need .

    duel exhaust and a 4bbl for performance.

    Most had 2.43 or 2.73 gears so top end is good and mileage isn't bad .

    I got around mid 20's with mine.

    It looks to be in great condition and very comfortable. My guess is they will have some more time to enjoy those seats at that price. The market for that model is pretty weak.

    He had MikeT1961 do a quick tune on the car. If he had more time it would have been in the 40's.

    3,400 hundred seems pretty reasonable to me. I am sure that you could talk the guy down to 3K.
