1953 Chrysler Windsor Deluxe Survivor Hot Rod Rat Rod Shoebox No Reserve on 2040-cars

Springdale, Arkansas, United States

Hot rod survivor. Has an unknown size Mopar V8 and 3 speed automatic transmission. Appears to have originally been a manual transmission 6 cylinder car. Runs and drives well. Steering is notchy and wanders a bit. Brakes were very weak but was low on fluid. I added fluid and it brakes fairly well. It will need the major systems gone through but it will be a good driver. 99% complete. Missing some trim in the interior. Has been painted a few times. The green could be buffed, but it's got a good patina that would be a shame to get rid of. Very little rust in the floors. Only a couple of spots. Overall very very solid car. Has a fuel cell and dual exhaust. Windshield has a couple chips. One of the side windows is cracked but still together. Interior needs attention. Seats and panels need redone. Or leave as it is as a patina'd hot rod. All lights except headlights work. Haven't looked into them. The chrome has normal pitting, but again, has some good patina. I'm not sure on the mileage. I'll check it tomorrow but I'm sure it's rolled over a few times. Overall, this is a cool hot rod that only needs some minor stuff to get to good driver status. Lower it and call it good.

Please feel free to ask any questions. Bid to buy. I've done my best to describe the car to the best of my knowledge. It's an old car and needs work. This is NOT a perfect car. Don't expect it to be. More pictures are available on request. The car is as is, where is and is for sale locally so I reserve the right to end the auction early. Thanks.

Chrysler's completely redesigned 200 caught totally uncovered

Fri, 13 Dec 2013

Preparing for a big debut at the Detroit Auto Show next month, the all-new 2015 Chrysler 200 was out for a late-night photo shoot fully undisguised, and our spy shooters were there to capture its all-new design completely uncovered. While there's no camouflage, the cover of darkness proved to be almost as effective, but we still get a good idea of what this former sore spot in the brand's lineup will look like after its clean-sheet redesign.
The first thing we notice is the stylish four-door-coupe roofline doing its best to impersonate something like the Audi A7, or maybe the Volkswagen CC. The front-end styling is a departure from recent Chrysler designs with narrow headlights and an equally short, chrome-trimmed grille. In profile, the bullet-nosed 200 is somewhat reminiscent of the Tesla Model S. This new design language should definitely help the 200 get noticed in a segment filled with hot sellers like the Toyota Camry and Honda Accord, as well as more stylish offerings like the Ford Fusion and Mazda6.
Our spies also caught up with the 200 testing in daylight and got some good shots of the interior. The instrument panel design looks similar to what is found in the Dodge Dart, including the oversized instrument gauges and possibly even the LED accent lighting. We would have to assume - and hope - this prototype is a test model due to its small touchscreen display, as Chrysler's 8.4-inch screen would look much better in its place. The center stack and console are clean with minimal buttons and knobs, but we do see a rotary gear selector, which may confirm reports from last year that suggested the 200 will use a nine-speed automatic transmission to help hit 38 miles per gallon on the highway.

Marchionne uses racial epithet to describe what must power future Alfa Romeo models

Wed, 16 Jan 2013

Sergio Marchionne and his Fiat empire have a lot riding on the US return of the Alfa Romeo brand. The endeavor has been in progress for what feels like a lifetime - certainly for as long as Fiat has had the Chrysler brand under its Italian wing.
It's not surprising that Fiat CEO Marchionne needs a perfect first Alfa to mark a return to America. And here's where things get dicey. Nobody would argue with Marchionne's insistence that Alfa Romeo's be powered by Italian engines - as Marchionne himself is quoted to have said at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show, "There are some things that are well done in Italy."
If not what he said, then, it's how he said it that has eyebrows raised. "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it needs to be a wop engine." Wait, what's that?

Alfa Romeo to launch eight new products by 2018, increase sales to 400K units

Alfa Romeo will go back to being the brand people admire, according to CEO Harald Wester.
After a few streams of news on the various brands in the Fiat Chrysler family, here's the deluge we've been waiting for - Alfa Romeo. The legendary Italian brand is being pointed towards a renaissance, as shown by the brand's five-year plan.
