1951 Chrysler New Yorker convertible, original Hemi V-8 in great running condition, fully operational.

Car started life in California (have origin owner's registration cards to prove it), later Indiana.

This Chrysler has never been hit, has NO rot thru (with exception of a small area below trunk lid, and on base of spare tire carrier), and every body panel is super straight.  Doors hang perfectly, close precisely, convertible top operates freely, no binding, however, top motor does not work, pistons are disconnected to allow manual operation.  All chrome and trim is present and duplicate pieces are included, too.  All glass is in good condition, no cracks, all window mechanisms work smoothly.

     Floors are perfect, body mounts are solid, frame is perfect, body panels fit well. There is surface rust in spots but NO rot.  I replaced the trunk lid, which was heavily pitted, with another  of same year and primed, painted it with left over paint, just to prevent rust. You can have the original if you wish. Sills are in great shape as is trunk floor.

      Car has had fresh oil and filter change, fresh tune up.  Motor runs whisper quiet, always maintains 40 lbs of oil pressure.  The Fluid Torque transmission shifts perfectly and operates  as an automatic. Clutch is required to engage Drive or Reverse, after you can just go and stop as with an automatic without using the clutch. Occasionally the throw out bearing does do some squealing as if running dry. This is not your ordinary Fluid Drive Transmission but, instead, an expensive factory option.

Car has amazing power and fast smooth acceleration.  Steering and front end are tight, not sloppy. Brakes have been rebuilt and stop perfectly.  Exhaust system, while not new, is quiet. Tires look almost new but, unfortunately,  were purchased a long time ago and are developing hard spots and dry rot. Definitely need replacement.

      Check the prices on restored models and you will see these cars selling for 40K or more!

You will not find a better restoration candidate or a more desirable antique car.

I DO have the title as well as many previous owners' registration cards.  Purchaser is responsible for pick up and transportation of vehicle.  A $500 deposit is required within 24 ours of auction end. Balance is due within 7 days.

I have described this car as accurately as possible, based on my many years of experience working on antique cars. I am not selling the vehicle with any guarantees, stated or implied.

Chrysler 'at war' with world's largest Viper club?

Tue, 27 Aug 2013

The situation was bound to boil over at some point. Grumblings from former and current members of the Viper Club of America, and letters sent from Chrysler to VCA president Lee Stubberfield, allege that the non-profit club is being run illegally as a for-profit business, Jalopnik reports.
The trouble reportedly started in 2007, when VCA member and former club national president Chris Marshall is alleged to have taken a paid position at the club courtesy of the acting board members at the time. By 2010, with the demise of the Dodge Viper looming, the VCA reportedly made a deal with Chrysler to to acquire a stash of old parts and tooling for the Viper. The stash would then be sold by the newly formed Viper Parts of America, a company that was supposed to be run by Marshall, Jalopnik reports.
This sounds like shady business to us - at the very least a conflict of interest. And it's said that the VCA will not hesitate to suspend - for a year or more - the memberships of those who oppose it.

Four-horse race opens up for next Chrysler-Fiat CEO

Mon, 16 Dec 2013


There are some companies that could change leadership overnight and still remain more or less the operations that they are. But some have built themselves up around one central figure. Just ask Carlos Tavares, who found he couldn't escape the long shadow of Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. Tavares recently left to find his own limelight. But Ghosn isn't the only executive who presides over two disparate automakers on opposite ends of the globe.
Having built up Fiat and Chrysler around himself, we can hardly imagine either automaker getting along without Sergio Marchionne. But the day will come when the famously sweater-clad bigwig will step down. The pressing questions remain when when that day will come, and who will take his place. The only solid clues we have are in the statements made mostly by Marchionne himself, but those statements have been all over the place. When speaking to Automotive News in 2012, he said he would step down "no earlier than 2013, no later than 2015." But a year later, he had already seemingly changed his tune, indicating he could still be at the helm in 2016. Fiat chairman John Elkann seems to think Marchionne, 61, could and should stay on longer.

Chrysler 200 subtitles performance in latest round of advertising

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Every once in a while, we come across a car video narrated in a foreign language and subtitled in English. They usually center on foreign-made automobiles, but this latest series of videos comes straight from Detroit.
Airing for the first time during's NFL broadcasts, these four commercials for the 2015 Chrysler 200 were produced by Wieden + Kennedy Portland - the same advertising firm that created the now-legendary Eminem spot for the last-generation 200.
Each clip in the "Ready to Take on the World" campaign highlights a different aspect of the American sedan and is narrated in Japanese, German or Swedish - each with English subtitles - associating the 200's Japanese level of quality, German performance and Swedish safety standards. But while the clips are ostensibly set in Japan, Germany and Sweden, Automotive News reports that they were actually filmed at home in the US.
