1955 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible ~ 300 Clone
This car was cloned into a 300 early in it's life and was driven that way until it was partially disassembled for restoration in the 1980's. The car has sat indoors ever since.
Power windows, locks, and seat.
All convertible top hardware is intact
The body is extremely solid and straight. The trunk floor, pans, doors, fenders, etc. show no visible rust, but there is some in the right outer rocker. The inner rockers are fine.
The car includes the following Chrysler 300 parts ~
'56 354 hemi with dual quad intake, carbs, batwing air cleaner, chrome dimple valve covers (for sold rockers), and the real deal four bolt flange exhaust manifolds. Engine is disassembled but appears to be intact and rebuildable.
'56 TorqueFlite transmission
'55 300/imperial front grill assembly
'55 300 bumpers, trim amd badges
NOS tail light, rechromed bezels
Also included in the sale is a very complete and running 1955 New Yorker Deluxe four door for parts or restoration. Photos attached. I might consider selling these cars separately, but would prefer to do so as a package.
Too much to list and answer, so lets have a conversation and make a deal. I will not separate this package until I have exhausted trying to sell it as a package. I'm in no rush.
I will answer emails and phone calls as quickly and as accurately as possible. Unlimited photos available upon request.
I purchased this car on a whim a few weeks ago because I already owned the '55 four door parts car. Before I even removed the convertible from the trailer I was given the opportunity to purchase a '37 Zephyr coupe from the original owners grand daughter, and obviously need to seize that once in a lifetime opportunity. I also need to focus on my '56 Fury, AAR Cuda, '50 Wayfarer Spotabout Roadster, and max wedge Fury, and Bonneville racer www.fastfourspecial.com

I will be listing several other cars and/or projects over the next few weeks (a few are on my website under wanted/for sale) so stay tuned.

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
Fiat ups Chrysler stake by 3.3%, inches closer to full control
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Fiat is one step closer to completing a merger with Chrysler after exercising an option to acquire an additional 3.3 percent of the Auburn Hills-based automaker today. Automotive News reports that Fiat now controls 68.49-percent of Chrysler, which is up almost 10 percent since we last heard news of this deal back in February when Fiat talking to various banks to raise more capital in order to complete the acquisition.
The article says that Fiat is still able to increase its stake in Chrysler up to 75 percent over the next 12 months, but it sounds like CEO Sergio Marchinonne would rather purchase the remaining shares from VEBA - the retiree benefits trust - sooner rather than later. Unfortunately, the two sides still seem far from an agreement on a fair price for the rest of Chrysler, as Fiat has them valued at $4.2 billion compared to the $10.3 billion estimate from the unions that currently own the remaining stake in Chrysler.
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.
