Don Garlits 1983 Chrysler New Yorker on Craigslist

According to the guys at BangShift, it’s actually legit, despite the seller’s claim that the “engine is from a 68 challenger.” Huh? Asking price: $50,000! Ad text and more pics after the jump! And while it’s still up, you can see the ad onĀ New Jersey Craigslist

I have a big daddy Don Garlits 1983 Chrysler New Yorker. It was build by Big Daddy and shown in his museum for years. It is the world’s fastest New Yorker with a Big Block 440 w dual 650 cfm 4 bbl carbs a (engine is from a 68 challenger) MSD 7 multispark unit MSD billet pro distributor cool NOS purge system, brand new posi rear a 100-500 hp shot of nitrous sportsman fogger system, New Comp Cam to match nitrous, hurst t handle shifter (w red button for Nos)on hurst quick stick shifter w reverse lock out, cheetah trans kit manual shift body, good leather interior ps pb have more pics will send to interested parties. I want to trade for a motor home of equal value. This car will sell at the Mecum or barret auction for 50 to 70 k. it will sell for more once Big Daddy Passes on. There is no other car like it in the world! gets 7 miles to the gallon(LOL) The dual quads suck it down. The tank was sumped and an extra fuel pump and hard lines were installed for the NOS. it has 20 lb bottle mounted in trunk. All work done by local performance shop. Own a piece of Mopar history! Aluminum weld drag wheels. Custom etched glass. Daddy Don named this car the Wanderer, from the 50’s song. Only drawback is a 3:23 rear for unlimited top end, I would put in 4:11’s or 4:56’s and then beat them all in the 1/4 rather than in the standard highway pursuit mode where this mopar dominates. Bring the NOS on line at 110 mph then scream to 180 for a z06 pounding finish. With the cam she only looks like a sleeper but to a trained ear you can hear the lope and the asperation of the dual quads. and once they see the purge they know they’re toast! Remember never- NEVER lift the hood till after the race!

  1. That is crazy! My mother’s boyfriend bought that car from big daddy when I was 16. 14 years ago! I just thought I’d look it up! I used to go to school in that thing!
