1961 Chrysler Newport 2 door hardtop I have a clear California title in my name. The vehicle is currently registered and insured in my name. The car does drive and I have driven it very little in the last year, as I’ve been trying to make it more reliable for weekday and weekend drives. The vehicle you see is in the same condition as I had purchased it, I have done nothing with the paint, body, suspension. Only what I’ve described below. Factory specs for this vehicle: 361 2 bbl. Automatic push button transmission Power steering Power Brakes Heater Radio Delete Remote side view mirror Body: All body panels are fairly straight, small dings and scratches here and there. Paint is weak, tiny spot chips here and there. Looks like single stage, quick spray job who ever painted it. Missing: door and fender
trim, both sides. Passenger side rear quarter window trim. (The trim between the two windows) Appears to have been repaired in the driver’s side rear quarter panel near tail light/bumper (see pics) Whoever painted this car got crazy with painting EVERYTHING red, the control arms, frame, heater box, valve covers, air cleaner. I wanted to tone it down a bit so I started detailing the engine compartment. Rust: Small bubble spots on lower
rockers and lower rear quarter panel. More evident on passenger side. Driver/passenger side front floors pans have some small fiberglass patches over existing floor. Rust spot on driver side C pillar near rear window. Lower trunk gasket area rusted out, only on bottom area, not top or sides. Trunk floor has surface rust, but NOT rusted through, no holes. Rear seat floors are solid Frame front to back is solid, rust free.
Interior: Seats front and rear need recovering. Needs new headliner, needs carpets. I removed the badly cracked dash pad and sagging headliner. Door panels are decent but those should be redone as well. Driver side door handle is removed due to a tension spring that broke and connects to knob. Suspension: Torsion bars lowered up front but can be adjusted to raise it higher. Leaf spring rear, has air shocks and 2 1/2 ” lowering blocks. Tires: 14” stock wheels with bias ply tires. Tires will need replacing at some point but are decent enough for light driving. Engine: Previous owner had radiator flushed, cleaned, re-cored. Gas tank was boiled and sealed. Points, cap and wires replaced. Alternator looks relatively new. What I’ve done: Brakes: All new
brakes
cylinders front & back, brake hoses, spring kits, and shoes. Brake
drums
haven’t been ordered. Power brake booster is off the car for now. Still
working on getting the brakes bled and adjusted before sale. Carb: New carb kit, fuel
filter, added fuel pressure gauge New spark plugs, New MSD blaster coil New battery Electrical: Ordered and installed a professionally made (looks OEM) front and rear wiring harness. Every wire labeled, new bulbs, etc. The entire harness was a little over $1,100.00. If you require any specific details about this car please contact me ASAP, BEFORE the auction ends. If I've missed any details in my description I'd be more than happy to answer your questions. |

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with
Mon, 12 May 2014Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.
Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
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.
