Seen it on the 2010 Mopar Nationals in Herten, Germany I think.

At the strip I thought: "Oh, nice cruiser." - "What the Hell??? How fast is that thing?"

Pretty impressive!

Why do people abuse these beasts?  There aren't too many left.

Great!! Cant touch a Mopar!!!

[PonytailRuth]

WOW that was fast! We own a 1961 white 4 door hard top Chrysler New Yorker in England. It is the only one in UK (standard and not a race car). I have lots of videos of our car on here if interested. Thanks for a great video.

'had a '62 Newport conv. with a 440 and the long cross rams. 'sure did accelerate nicely and breathed well at 145 MPH. I miss that car.

Wow! You blew away a Chevelle Muscle car with a 4 door Grandpa car. What you running in that beauty.

[BigBlockMopar]

Jeff, the car has a 496", longram intake-system and 3.9 gears in the rear.

Unfortunatly it also had a driveshaft balance-issue which prevented me from running the entire 1/4mile at fullthrottle. Still managed 8.6 on the 1/8 mile.

Better than my '65 Fury. 110 the car is fine. 111 the thing feels like it is going to tear itself apart.

[Waldo99]

Very cool. Nice car.
