Ray, is that the Mitchell brothers 1974 Chrysler New yorker, that they bought Brand new in 1974, to the left in this pic.

Well I have to say, having seen the pics of the car when you bought it back in 2000, and how it looks now, you should get a medal. Its not just the matter of the amount of work you have done, but the difficulties in restoring such a rare car. It must have been an absolute nightmare sourcing the parts.

I would imagine restoring a car like that must be at the other extreme of say, a 57 Chevy when it comes to parts availability.

Well done fella, she is absolutely gorgeous.

Wow - amazing story. Great pics too. Would love to see that car at the Mopar EuroNats - definitely a Top Ten, maybe a contender for Best in Show?
