1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue
Description
1986 Chrysler Fifth Avenue (rebadged New Yorker) for sale.
Are you looking for a fun project? Good base. Runs, drives, stops.
Backstory: This was my first car. I bought it in 2017. Some guy in Ottawa had imported it from Virginia the year prior, hence the odometer being in miles. I’ve been driving it daily since. Kept all the work up to date and got a full undercoating every year.
Reason for selling: Lost passion in it. Own a house now and have other priorities.
Specs:
1986
318ci (5.2L) Engine
Rear wheel drive
3-speed automatic transmission
Leaf spring rear, torsion bar front suspension
Disc brake front, drum brake rear
Full leather interior, shag rug floors, custom paisley headliner
Electric windows, electric locks, automatic trunk and cruise control
New bluetooth stereo and speakers
Work I’ve done since I’ve owned it:
Oil changes every 3k miles
Undercoated every fall
New fuel pump
All front end shocks and bushings (over 2k work)
New rotors and pads about 10k ago
New wiper motor
U-joints and driveshaft work
New driver side automatic window motor
The good:
Motor runs and purrs
Interior is in great shape
Stops fine
Vinyl cap on back is immaculate
Seats are still comfortable
Licensed and insured on the road right now
Brand new white wall tires
Bare minimum insurance in Pembroke only costs me $58 a month
Have a bunch of paperwork, original sales receipt and owners manual.
Heat pumps better than a modern car.
The bad:
Exhaust needs work. Sounds fine and the muffler is there.
Rust spots but no holes
Passenger front fender was backed into. I hammered it back into place and added paint.
E-brake broke
Extras:
Have parts
A spare fender
4 extra rims (not in good shape)
4 extra wire hubcaps
There’s more to talk about but this car needs someone who can love it more than I can. Super fun.
Please do not ask what it needs for safety. This is being sold as-is.
