New Yorker, 440-hp, 727, Tnt, 8.75 Sure-grip, E86, U-code on 2040-cars
Jamestown, New York, United States
INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION You are viewing a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker, equipped with its
orignal "numbers-matching" (engine and transmission stampings)
"U" code (E86 on fender tag), 440-HP (which stands for "High
Performance", and "HP" is stamped on the block ID pad) V8, mated
to a 727 "TorqueFlite" transmission, and a 3.23:1 ratio, 8.75 inch "Sure-Grip" rear end. The vehicle has just under 98,000 original
miles. This vehicle is being offered with no reserve. Please plan your
bid strategies accordingly as whenever auction ends, vehicle will belong to a new owner (see auction success considerations below for more information). Let me give you a few Mopar marketing names to start:
"TNT" in the Chryslers, "Magnum" in the Dodges, and
"Super Commando" in the Plymouths.
All these names refer to the 370 horsepower, 480 ft.
lbs. of torque, 9.5:1 compression engine available in the Imperials, the
Challengers, the Cudas, the Chargers, and the pursuit-class police cars in
1971. Recall that the last higher-compression, big-block B/RB engines
were produced in 1971. I bought this car a decade ago from the original owner with the intention
to restore it. The vehicle did not need very much mechanical work aside
from a tune-up and carburetor rebuilt. However,
since it has not been on the road in over three years, it will need to be gone through to be completely
roadworthy (if you are the winner, you should plan to trailer it to your destination). The vehicle easily moves under its own power and can be driven onto/off of a trailer or car
carrier. Options on this New Yorker worth noting are dual exhaust power
seats, power windows, tilt-telescoping steering column, four speaker stereo
(poor reception), air conditioning (system intact but not blowing cold air),
and power door locks (non functioning). I do have the factory build
sheet. The paint is 'Tahitian Walnut Metallic" and it has had at
least one low quality repaint in its lifetime. If restoration is planned,
it will need to be repainted as there are faded areas and assorted other imperfections
in both the finish and the sheet metal (dings, scratches, etc). The condition of the floors, trunk, and frame is shown and there is
no rust through, damage, or repairs that would affect structural integrity.
The only rust area visible is a quarter-sized hole in the rear valence
just above the passenger side exhaust pipe (the result of exhaust gas
condensation from the tailpipe position). The glass is all good and the trim and bumpers are in fair driver-quality
consistent with the age of the vehicle. Although
not shown, all the trim pieces around the rear windows are now affixed to the
vehicle. I did install a new aftermarket
carpet, new mufflers and tailpipes, and a new vinyl roof. The dash is
straight and headliner is intact. The original
vinyl seats have several defects as shown. This Chrysler New Yorker is a rare piece of American turnpike-cruising iron, with one of the most powerful engines ever put into a passenger car up to that time: the "TNT" 440-HP, the same powertrain as the legendary Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge-branded muscle and police cars from a bygone era. I hope a potential new buyer will take the slow, steady affordable approach to the restoration of this car so it can chew up turnpikes like it did in the old days. Alternatively, if you intend to part it out for a Dodge or Plymouth "muscle car" project, or any other reasons, that’s your choice of course too. I mean where else are you going to find a real, matching, unmolested original 440-HP TNT engine, 727 transmission, and 3.23 Sure-Grip laying around these days? AUCTION SUCCESS CONSIDERATIONS I have established a reasonable reserve (reserve will not be revealed while the auction is running) for this 1971 Chrysler New Yorker. Please consider bidding during the auction to the extent and level you deem appropriate and based on whatever factors are important to you. Again this vehicle is being offered with no reserve. Please plan your bid strategies accordingly, because if the auction runs its full course this vehicle will belong to the highest bidder. Vehicle is also for sale locally so please note that I reserve the right to end this auction early at my sole discretion. . I am sorry in advance for the following realizing it will not apply to the vast majority of responsible Ebay members: Encountering non-paying or unresponsive bidders is a very disruptive event that makes the auction experience quite unpleasant for both the seller and any legitimate potential buyer(s). Please BE SURE BEFORE YOU BID that you have done whatever you need to do to STAND BEHIND the actual bid(s) YOU MADE and were recorded during the auction. Because of a tendency to simply misunderstand or just outright ignore Ebay and seller auction requirements, bidders with less than 5 (five) feedback ratings may, at my discretion have their bids canceled (I may or may not try to contact you before canceling your bid) and then blocked from further bidding on this auction unless they contact me in advance of bidding. Bidders who make and then cancel their bid(s) will also be blocked from further bidding on this auction. INSPECTION AND WARRANTY INFORMATION Please ask any questions that you may have that may not have been answered by this detailed listing narrative and visual media attachments. My listings are constructed in complete sentences in order to communicate my knowledge of important facts and to encourage independent thoughts and then any questions from interested parties. But respectfully, I do not know what is important to you that may not have been discussed or depicted herein unless you ask me. Any and all relevant and appropriate questions you submit while the auction is running will be answered promptly and as thoroughly as possible by email only to ensure clarity of any correspondences. Given that this is a used vehicle, please do not have unreasonable expectations as to its current condition or future condition under your ownership. Also given its obvious age, this vehicle represents whatever standards of design, quality, and workmanship that existed when it was built, so comparisons to improved build standards of today's vehicles is not appropriate. Your bid forms the basis for a binding, legally enforceable contract. As such, if you require it, please make all pre-purchase inspections (at the sole expense of the bidder) before committing to purchase the vehicle. Inspections can be done by appointment only by you or your designated inspection service. Although I believe I have described and depicted (with numerous high-resolution photographs) this vehicle accurately, please note that this vehicle is sold "as-is, where-is” with no express or implied warranties or guarantees of any kind. PAYMENT AND STORAGE A $500 deposit is required from the winning bidder, due electronically via PayPal within 24 hours after the auction ends, to hold the vehicle. I will not be accepting trades. Full payment is due within 3 days of auction end via cash, wire transfer, or certified bank check (drawn on a major US bank). Clear title in my name is in hand and vehicle can be scheduled for buyer pickup by appointment at anytime after full payment is received and cleared. I can hold the vehicle for 15 days (or longer, if weather or other uncontrollable factors emerge) at no charge to the winning bidder after the auction (the charge is $5.00 per day after 15 days). Thank you for viewing my auction. |

Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
Chrysler files for IPO
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Chrysler has had a lot of owners over the past few years alone, from Daimler to Cerberus to Fiat and the federal government. But it could be poised to gain some more before long. Like, a lot more.
The automaker has just announced that it has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to issue an Initial Public Offering of common stocks. Chrysler hasn't revealed how many shares will be offered and at what price, however the shares in question will not come out of Fiat's approximate 60% majority shareholding but instead out of the 40% minority stock held by the UAW's VEBA retiree healthcare trust. Reports suggest that the IPO, which is being handled by JP Morgan, could encompass approximately 16% of Chrysler stock, initially valued at approximately $100 million.
Lest you think this is all part of Sergio Marchionne's grand plan to consolidate Chrysler and Fiat, the two auto groups over which he presides, think again. The filing, which still needs to be approved by the SEC, comes at the insistence of the UAW. Negotiations between Marchionne's management team and the union over Fiat's acquisition of the VEBA shares have stalled. If they manage to come to an agreement, however, the IPO would likely be taken off the table. So don't go calling your broker just yet, but you can analyze the official announcement below.
Is Chrysler's 'America's Import' campaign outdated or offensive? [w/poll]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Chrysler launched its America's Import campaign with a splashy ad during the Super Bowl starring Bob Dylan and featuring a whole bunch of patriotic imagery that included Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, factory employees and, of course, the city of Detroit. Since then, the brand has followed the original spot with even more ads using the same tagline. Not everyone is pleased, it seems, including The Detroit Free Press auto critic Mark Phelan, who's fed up with the marketing. In an editorial for the newspaper, Phelan claims that it's insulting to the US auto industry and its workers.
"The phrase 'America's import,' with its suggestion that 'import' equals 'better,' feels terribly dated, a relic of the 1980s. It's the rhetorical equivalent of hanging a pastel-hued 'Miami Vice' poster on your office wall," writes Phelan in the piece. Also, since some of the brand's cars are made in Canada, the line isn't even entirely true, he claims. Phelan goes on to praise the company's earlier Imported from Detroit commercials for getting the right message across and showing pride in the city.
While "America's Import" might be the tagline for Chrysler's ads, it's not the whole message. Subsequent ads keep the hard-working, patriotic imagery from the original Super Bowl spot but put a bigger emphasis on the Chrysler 200 that the commercials are meant to sell.
