1948 Chrysler New Yorker Coupe This car was parked on a West Texas ranch in 1964 and has been there ever since. It is very complete car, the only thing I know of that is missing is the radio antenna and outside mirror. all the glass is in it. The door windows are cracked. Windows roll up and down. The sun took a toll on the interior. It was all still intact but very fragile. seat covers are mostly gone, the padding is there and the seat springs are still good. I took the driver side door panel off while installing patch panels in the door corners. Passenger door was OK. Fenders have typical patches in the corners. patches were put in the floor board and trunk area. The car was never wrecked, had minor dings and one dent in the trunk about the size of a dinner plate.All the wheels rolled smooth, has the original wheels, hub caps, and beauty rings. Engine is the Spitfire flat head 8 cyl. and has a fluid drive Trans. They may or may not be good. There is one piece of chrome on the rear fender that is partly smashed. there are several wrecking yards that have it in the $40 range. The pot metal trim has pitting, would be fine for a hot rod. Personally I would just paint it with the new chrome paint. The front cross member is rusted and should be replaced. .The rest of the frame is fine,. It has a big boxed frame and would be fine for a street rod. Personally I would put a new front suspension such as Fat Man ect. The original front suspension was not very good when it was new. The car has been blasted and epoxy primed in a medium dark gray. It would be fine the way it is for a rat rod or hot rod. it would take an experience body man a day to slick it up for a bright paint job. This would probably be best suited for a very rare street rod or rat rod, I have seen only one other in 3 years. There is enough room up front for a hemi or two. The white walls do not go with the car. It has a set of good roller tires.All the bumpers and valance are with the car, I personally like it better with them off.. The car can be delivered to the port in Houston, Tx. for a price for foreign buyers. Car is being sold with a Bill of Sale. I have a lady that does titles for $350. The car does not have to be moved right away but I expect a $500 deposit in three days. It will have to be towed and I will assist any way I can. I am sure I forgot something. you can call 830-370-6370 for more info. Thanks for looking.

2013 Ram HD and Chassis Cab pickups are ready for work [UPDATE]
Thu, 27 Sep 2012Auto enthusiasts often point to the pony car wars as the last bastion of one-upsmanship among Detroit's automakers, but the truth is, the pickup wars are every bit as competitive - if not more so. Auburn Hills keeps a ready eye on what their rivals in Dearborn and Detroit are doing, and vice-versa. Today, that battle is renewed with the introduction of Ram's 2013 Heavy Duty and Chassis Cab lines at the State Fair of Texas. Why a state fair? The Banner State is the perfect battleground for pickup supremacy, as Texas accounts for one of every five pickups sold in the U.S.
Towing and hauling metrics are poised for a substantial improvement. "... and not just by a little bit."
On the HD front, Chrysler is boasting that its brand-new heavies will bring best-in-class towing, torque, payload and Gross Combined Weight Rating, but thus far, it's declining to cite what those figures are. For the moment, though, Fred Diaz, President and CEO of Ram told us at an Auburn Hills background event earlier this month that key towing and hauling metrics are poised for a substantial improvement. "And not just by a little bit. I think we're going to shock the world," said Diaz.
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recalls nearly 750k vehicles in two campaigns
Thu, 16 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is recalling a total of 747,817 vehicles in the US in two separate campaigns recently added to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration database.
The first one covers about 434,581 units of the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Durango, and Jeep Grand Cherokee from the 2011-2014 model years with electric hydraulic power steering, the 3.6-liter V6 engine and a 160 amp alternator, according to FCA. In the affected vehicles, it's possible for the alternator to fail without warning and possibly cause the car to stall. According to the documentation submitted to NHTSA, the automaker began investigating the problem in August 2014 and has found possible evidence of one crash caused by the failures but no known injuries.
Customers will begin receiving notification about the recall next month, and obviously the repairs will be done at no cost to them.
Fiat Chrysler posts $690M Q1 loss
Mon, 12 May 2014If there is one thing that should be remembered when looking at quarterly and annual earnings, it's that the headline numbers rarely tell the whole story when it comes to an automaker's health. Chrysler's first-quarter earnings are just such an example.
Yes, the Auburn Hills-based manufacturer lost $690 million, which is quite a large sum of money. The reasons for the loss, according to Chrysler, were "Unfavorable infrequent items," which includes a $504 million payment to rid itself of the debts it took on for prepaying the UAW's VEBA healthcare trust. Chrysler was also hit with a $672 million charge to the UAW, which was part of a deal that allowed Fiat to purchase the remaining shares of Chrysler owned by the VEBA.
Ignoring those one-time deals, the first quarter was quite a successful one for Chrysler. It would have made $486 million if you erased the merger costs, which would have been a year-over-year increase of $320 million. Even more promising is the fact that Chrysler snagged the largest increase in market share of any automaker during Q1 at 1.1 percent, bringing its overall share to 12.7 percent of the US market. Chrysler saw a 30-percent improvement in sales of trucks and SUVs, along with an 11-percent increase in year-over-year sales and a 23-percent increase in revenue, to $19 billion.
