1962 Chrysler New Yorker Base 6.7l on 2040-cars
Holly, Michigan, United States
|
GENERAL: Very nice original 1962 Chrysler New Yorker. While not considered a "classic", this vehicle is still a great looking car of the care-free early sixties. Her name is Ethyl (though you can rename her). Vehicle has been owned by me and garage stored (covered) for the last 7 years. This was a running and driving car with working everything when I last used it. But that was a while ago. I haven't started the engine in a few years. So the only thing wrong with the car would be time and lack of use. Please review the pictures. Contact me with any or all questions and I will try to answer them.
EXTERIOR: The car has no visible rust. There are a few small bubble spots. Also some flaking/rub areas were the paint is off from the metal. Paint is Rosewood (taupey pink color). The paint on the sides of the vehicle is in better shape than the top surfaces. The hood and trunk surfaces have had the paint marred. It is cloudy and scratched up. It looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing took an orbital polisher to the surface. This is a very solid car. All trim is present. All doors, hood and trunk panels fit well and close tight. The Chrysler New Yorker emblem in the front grill is missing. Reproduction emblems can be ordered online. Radio antenna has been removed/broken (?) off. But is still with vehicle and fits back on the exterior mount. Rear Glass has been previously replaced.
INTERIOR: The interior is in overall good shape but upholstery needs cleaning. Of coarse smells musty due to age. There is one tear w/ tape on it on the drivers seat back cushion at the bottom. Headliner has holes: middle by sun visors, by passenger side front and rear, and in the rear back on both sides. Carpet has the normal wear and tear and looks like it has properly been replaced. Dash/Odometer has the clear dome panel..Pushbutton Transmission Gears. All switches and buttons are present and working.
ENGINE: Engine is a 413. The times I've run it, it wants to go like a bat out of hell. I never did any work on the engine and can't tell you much about it. Battery should have been disconnected, but was not.
CONCERNS: Tires: Probably need replacement. I'm not sure how old they are. They went flat from sitting, but when filled they hold the air again. Exhaust: The exhaust has a plastic/rubber tube in place of an exhaust pipe. Fuel: The previous owner was out of gas to show/run the vehicle, so he put some mix (oil/gas) in instead. Vehicle exhausted black smoke. The fuel tank would probably need to be drained/cleaned.
EXTRAS: There are several spare parts in a box. There are two rear taillight lenses and one taillight chrome bracket trim. 2 Chrome trim pieces - not really sure where they go. Carpet fabric for trunk. Extra chrome vent strips. Repair/Service Manual Build sheet & Paint Color Chart Owner Manual
The car is located in Michigan approx 1 hr north of Detroit or Ann Arbor. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end. Payment is to be received within 10 days. Vehicle must be removed within two weeks of auction end. Once payment is made the sale will be final. Buyer is responsible for all transportation of the vehicle.

2015 Chrysler 200 production gets underway [w/videos]
Mon, 17 Mar 2014Chrysler announced recently that it has added some 800 new jobs at its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant (SHAP) to support the production of its all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan. Total employment at the Sterling Heights, MI plant grows to almost 2,800 with the hires, an impressive figure for a plant that was slated for closure in 2010.
Speaking to a crowd of employees and community leaders, Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne was on hand to celebrate the kick-off of 200 production last week. "We're making a big bet on its success," said Marchionne of the sedan, "we've invested nearly a billion dollars in this facility."
That billion-dollar bill has been used to construct a spanking new paint shop, install a new body shop and install "machinery, tooling and material-handling equipment" according to the Chrysler press release. The company says that SHAP now runs to nearly five million square feet of manufacturing space - loads of room for all the new employees to do their thing - and that the facility can handle multiple vehicles on two unique architectures.
Bailout dealership cuts did their job as profits surge
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Almost five years after US taxpayers bailed out General Motors and Chrysler, a large majority of their slimmed-down dealership networks are posting soaring profits, Bloomberg reports, and contributing to the US auto industry on track this year to deliver 15.4 million vehicles, the most since 16.15 million were delivered in 2007.
Consider another important figure: Bloomberg says that more than 90 percent of GM dealerships are profitable, compared to about half of them in 2008 and 2009. At the start of 2013, GM had 4,355 US dealerships and Chrysler had about 2,600. Compare that with just a few years ago, when GM had 6,246 dealers in 2008, while Chrysler had 3,200 in 2009.
As part of their bankruptcy restructuring, both GM and Chrysler decided that their retail networks contained far too many dealerships and insisted that they be slimmed down. The resultant dealership terminations followed by a rebounding auto market - in part due to better new GM and Chrysler vehicles - have increased the number of sales per dealership to record levels. Many dealers are taking advantage of increasing profits and investing in facility renovations and updates, such as Chrysler dealership owner David Kelleher. He's spending $2 million to expand his store.
Chrysler taking big risk snubbing NHTSA
Wed, 05 Jun 2013Maker Insists Feds Overstate Risk Of Fires With Grand Cherokee, Liberty Models
It's not often that recall stories make it above the fold, in that old newspaper parlance, but when one shows up as the lead story on the network evening news programs, you know it's something big.
And so it is with Chrysler snubbing its nose at a request by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to recall 2.7 million Jeeps the feds insist are at risk of potentially catastrophic fuel tank fires in a rear-end collision.
