Amazing Project Car!! 1950 Crysler Windsor . Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Dover, New Hampshire, United States
|
PLEASE ask all questions BEFORE bidding 1950 Chrysler Windsor 4 door sedan with Spitfire 251 straight 6 cylinder engine. This car has 69,000 original miles on it and is an absolutely perfect project car. I am the third owner, the second owner being my cousin who purchased it around 10 years ago from the original owner. The car is currently not running and I purchased it from my cousin with the hopes of restoring it, however finances became an issue and I don't have the money to invest. Haggerty Classic Car values the car at approximately $4600 dollars, but does not take into consideration the particulars of each car, so they are as follows: BODY: THE GOOD-The frame and body are near perfect, having been stored inside most of its life until my cousin got a hold of it and parked it outside. The door jams, fenders, roof, gas tank, trunk, body panels, doors, and all major parts are straight, have no dents and are relatively rust free aside from surface rust. THE BAD- The paint has oxidized considerably and the front driver and passenger side floor pans are rusted through and need to be replaced. The window weather striping was gone and water got into the carpet and was left wet sitting on the floor boards for several years causing very acute rot to the floor boards. I priced the welding out at about $700 to repair pretty easily. INTERIOR: The interior needs to be overhauled. The two bench seats are in relatively good shape considering. The door panels need to be replaced as does the headliner, carpet and A-Pillar coverings. The dash pad is in OK shape. Essentially I would just re do everything if you want to make it a daily driver. The sky is the limit on what you can spend doing interior work. ENGINE: The car is not currently running, however I did some basic diagnostics when I got the car. The engine turned over without any issues when I put a new battery in it. There was spark going to 2 out of the 3 plugs I checked and it sounded like there was compression in the cylinders as I could hear it through the carb. As far as fuel, the tank is completely empty and it appears that it had been drained a while back, which is a good thing. There is obviously quite a bit of dirt and grease on the engine components, but I don't see any obvious leaks anywhere. I planned on simply getting it running and replacing fuel lines and other easy stuff instead of rebuilding the engine. The transmission is a "three on the tree" and switched through the gears without issue as far as I could tell. CHROME: The chrome is in fair condition. There is rust on front bumper and rear bumper. There is oxidation and pitting in grill and other trim. However there is also several places where the chrome is in great shape, like around the windows and front and rear windshield. The chrome is all original and there is nothing missing from the car, which saves a ton of money and time for a restoration. DASH PANEL AND GAUGES AND INTERIOR COMPONENTS: There is absolutely nothing missing from the original vehicle, even down to the original cigarette lighter. The knobs, radio, clock, heater levers are all there. When I hooked up the new battery, the clock started ticking and the gauges worked, which surprised me greatly. The steering wheel needs replacing or re done. The emblems are also in good condition. The door handles and window cranks are all there and in working order. BRAKES: I have not had a chance to look into it, but I would always assume the lines need to be checked for replacement and the wheel cylinders need re building, new shoes etc. TIRES AND RIMS: The tires need to be replaced with white walls STEERING AND FRONT END COMPONENTS: These all appear in working order and I would not expect to need replacing for a daily driver. GLASS: All original and intact. There is a small crack in the rear venting window but other than that, near perfect. TITLE: We do not have the original title The bottom line is this, as with all restoration projects there is a lot of work to be done.If you plan on restoring this to a showroom original quality you probably already know more about it than I do. PAYMENT: Payment must be made within 72 hours of auction close. BUYER assumes all costs related to shipping. BUYER must arrange shipping and pick-up of vehicle. Desoto De Soto |

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]
Mon, 29 Oct 2012It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
Chrysler purchases remaining shares from VEBA Trust, announces funding plan
Thu, 23 Jan 2014It's official: The Detroit Three is now The Detroit Two and The Fiat Subsidiary, Chrysler. Both the Italian carmaker and The Pentastar announced the completion of cash payments and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on future payments necessary to make the Chrysler Group a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiat. As previously detailed, Chrysler made a cash payment of $1.9 billion and Fiat North America made a cash payment of $1.75 billion to the Voluntary Employment Benefit Association (VEBA) run by the United Auto Workers union.
On top of that, Chrysler Group signed an MOU that agrees to payments of $700 million to the VEBA in four installments, the first of which was made concurrently with the other cash payments. And for you trivia mavens, the full name of the UAW is the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. So go impress your loved ones with that nugget after you check out the press release below.
Chrysler recalling 630k Jeep models worldwide
Thu, 06 Jun 2013Despite its refusal to recall 2.7 million Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models this week over a gas tank fire risk, Chrysler will be recalling 630,000 Jeep Compass (pictured), Patriot and Wrangler vehicles around the globe for a pair of entirely different reasons.
The affected Compass and Patriot models are all from the 2010 to 2012 model years - 254,000 in the United States, 45,400 in Canada and 109,000 elsewhere in the world. In these models, a software error may result in the late deployment of the side airbags and seatbelt tensioners. In the event of a crash, failure of these systems could result in more serious injuries for the vehicle's occupants.
Jeep's go-anywhere Wrangler also faces a separate recall due to power steering fluid lines that can possibly wear a hole in the transmission oil cooler line. According to Chrysler, the vehicles could then leak fluid, possibly damaging the transmissions. Roughly 221,100 Wrangler models are being recalled because of this issue, all of which are fitted with Jeep's 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine. In the US, 181,000 vehicles are affected, with an additional 18,400 in Canada and 21,700 additional units worldwide. A Chrysler spokesperson said that no crashes or injuries have been reported with either case, according to the Associated Press.
