1962 Chrysler 300 Sport 413ci on 2040-cars
Apache Junction, Arizona, United States

This vehicle has an interesting story to go along with it. The car was found under a fig tree where it had been sitting for 30 or so years. The tree had to be cut away to even see the car. Bees had made a hive inside the left side of the trunk but the bees have all been removed and the hive is gone. The only thing left is the rusty trunk floor and left quarter.
This vehicle needs a total restoration and is mostly complete, missing only a few things.The car does have some rusty parts and dents in a few places. I put an electric fuel pump on the car to see if it would start and it did. It smoked for a little while but it went away and the car seems to run really good. The driveshaft is not in the car( it is in the trunk), so I have not driven the car, the push buttons for the transmission seem to be stuck in reverse (the trans is turning when the engine is running) so that will need to be addressed as well. I have not pulled the carpet back to see what the floors look like but I will if you need pics of those areas. I took as many pics as I could so you could see all the areas. The frame rails look to be in good shape, all the glass is in good shape, I haven't noticed any dents in the trim except for the broken 300 medallions on the rear quarters. The bumpers will need to be stripped and rechromed. I have another right door that is complete that will go with the car (in case you don't want to fix the dent in the current door). The taillights are broken as is the left taillight trim. All the pics of the underside of the car show only surface rust that may/may not be an issue to clean up. When I took the pics the car was running so I took a pic of the instrument panel. The charging system was working, the oil pressure was up and the temp gauge was working. I did replace the water pump and I put a used starter in the car so it would run without any problems. The fuel line is not hooked up and the brake master cylinder is empty. I do not know the condition of the fuel tank but I would bet it needs replacing. I have a number of parts that go with the car: One extra door glass, the bumper jack, one horn, the door previously mentioned, water pump pulley, two outer mirrors, one ashtray, 6 boxes that contain seals and springs for the wheel cylinders, the "Chrysler" plate for the left front fender, an extra hood latch, an extra trunk latch, two misc pieces for an instrument panel and a front turn signal housing. I also have a push button mechanism for the dash (transmission i believe). Please ask any and all questions before you bid, also if you need/want pictures of any other area that I did not cover let me know and I will post them for you. Car has a clean/clear title. Car is being offered as is without any warranty expressed or implied. THE AREA WHERE THE NUMBERS ARE STAMPED HAS AN "S" ON IT. I LOOKED THAT "S" UP AND IT MAY BE THAT THIS ENGINE WAS A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT ENGINE. |

Detroit's new emergency city manager worked on Chrysler bankruptcy [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013
Kevyn Orr, the new emergency city manager of Detroit, has a history with one of Michigan's most famous residents: Chrysler. Governor Rick Snyder (at right) appointed Orr to the position yesterday with the belief that Detroit needs outside assistance to right the city's mounting financial woes. Orr (at left), a partner with the Jones Day law firm, will begin work on March 25 and receive $275,000 a year for his work. While state officials believe the new city manager will be able to complete his duties in 18 months, the contract is technically open-ended.
The 54-year-old attorney helped steer Chrysler through its 2009 bankruptcy, earning $700 per hour for his efforts. He was also instrumental in convincing the courts to allow Chrysler to shutter 789 dealerships in a single month. Orr says he's aware that his efforts won't have made him any friends in Southern Michigan.
Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru
Wed, 13 Nov 2013There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.
Mopar celebrates 50 years of the 426 Hemi
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Think of Chrysler performance and the names Mopar and Hemi are bound to come to mind. Chrysler and its Mopar performance parts division first introduced the original Hemi (so named for its hemispherical combustion chambers) back in 1951, celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2011. But it was thirteen years later - 50 years ago - that the Pentastar automaker rolled out the most iconic Hemi of them all: the Gen II 426.
The massive 7.0-liter V8 engine instantly became a muscle car icon and went on to become a favorite of racecar constructors. Two competition versions of the Gen II 426 Hemi were made: one for the track and one for the drag strip, and both went on to illustrious strings of victories. The race engine first debuted at the 1964 Daytona 500 where it powered Richard Petty's Plymouth to the checkered flag and on to the NASCAR championship.
Meanwhile on the drag strip, the Gen II 426 Race Hemi propelled Don Garlits past 200 miles per hour and down the quarter-mile in 7.78 seconds. Changes in NASCAR regulations meant that Chrysler devoted the engine to NHRA drag racing, and to this day the Gen II 426 Race Hemi is still used in Funny Car and Top Fuel dragsters.
