For the most poorly styled RWD American V8 car ever.

It may have been poorly styled, but at least it was slow and unreliable, too.

I thought it was a Towncar at first, too.

Speaking of crappy autocross cars today, I saw a guy autocross one of the last RWD new yorkers once. I think the only time I've ever had more fun was when I watched the turbo-engine swapped caravan go around the track. I was also offered one of these as trade from one of the other techs at the shop I worked at when I was 17. I had a full size 1996 dodge conversion van with the roof and TV and vegas lighting. I turned it down for good reason.

Still an interesting vehicle though. Would be fun to hot rod one if you had spare cash. I imagine pulling 12s in a stock looking 1982 new yorker with a howling V8 and a missing hubcap would be a blast. Ooooooo and a fun sleeper/killer on woodward :)

Man I would love to see one at an autocross. I would love to have one as a sleeper—they are pretty interesting cars. Conversion van sounds badass, though.

It was hilarious enough in stock form, I imagine a lemons car would be a good fate for a slightly rotted one, but you need to leave in as much "luxury" as possible. And the van was freakin pimp, and a steal at 75$. But it needed a lot of cooling system and engine work before it was reliable. Worth it though when you're 17 and you have a rolling hotel suite for a car :P

The RWD new yorkers are interesting, the FWD ones.......not so much.

Imagine what happens to your body when you try to use the steering wheel while the car is moving.
