A true barn find, this large, economy size Mopar is presented just as it was pulled from long-term storage. Thanks to Barn Finds reader Bob R for alerting us to this big-block monster located in Hudson Valley, New York and advertised here on craigslist for $3750 or best offer.

There’s no way around it, this is a huge car. With a wheelbase of over 124 inches, that’s a lot of metal to be moving down the road. Thankfully, with well over 350 horsepower and prodigious torque, the 440 is up to the task. Chrome and trim are said to be excellent and certainly look the part in the pictures. With “no dents” and minimal rust, you won’t have to do much to the body.

It’s not all perfect though. A different shade of white on the right rear quarter suggest that the car has at least been partially repainted. I’d suggest checking this area closely for evidence of previous bodywork. Maybe some judicious use of rubbing compound would bring the colors closer together to avoid a repaint, at least for the moment.

The linear dash is so period. And I’ll bet that 440 would peg that speedometer past 120 given the chance. Minimal wear on the pedal pads leads me to believe that the claimed 50,000 miles is true.

An extremely original appearance under the big hood means you aren’t going to have to do much here beyond cleaning. The seller claims the New Yorker runs and drives “absolutely amazing” and it needs nothing. I think I’d add a modern aftermarket AC system and drive it as-is after a detail.

My favorite memory of these Chryslers is probably a little different than most readers! I grew up near Bowman Gray Stadium, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and we frequently went to the stock car races there. My favorite class to watch were the “Blunderbusts”, big cars running on skinny stock rubber. The hot ticket was these big New Yorkers, both the two and four door versions. They never failed to smoke a lot of rubber going around corners!

A Summit box, what I think is a heater core and some other miscellaneous parts in the trunk make it look like the car has been taken care of by an enthusiast at some point in its life. And what a trunk it is! Even the weatherstripping looks nice. I’m lucky enough to live in a state that doesn’t require front plates, so that dealer plate would look great on the front bumper. Any interest in bringing this find home to your barn?
