1951 Chrysler New Yorker convertible, original Hemi V-8 in great running condition, fully operational. Car started life in California (have origin owner's registration cards to prove it), later Indiana. This Chrysler has never been hit, has NO rot thru (with exception of a small area below trunk lid, and on base of spare tire carrier), and every body panel is super straight. Doors hang perfectly, close precisely, convertible top operates freely, no binding, however, top motor does not work, pistons are disconnected to allow manual operation. All chrome and trim is present and duplicate pieces are included, too. All glass is in good condition, no cracks, all window mechanisms work smoothly. Floors are perfect, body mounts are solid, frame is perfect, body panels fit well. There is surface rust in spots but NO rot. I replaced the trunk lid, which was heavily pitted, with another of same year and primed, painted it with left over paint, just to prevent rust. You can have the original if you wish. Sills are in great shape as is trunk floor. Car has had fresh oil and filter change, fresh tune up. Motor runs whisper quiet, always maintains 40 lbs of oil pressure. The Fluid Torque transmission shifts perfectly and operates as an automatic. Clutch is required to engage Drive or Reverse, after you can just go and stop as with an automatic without using the clutch. Occasionally the throw out bearing does do some squealing as if running dry. This is not your ordinary Fluid Drive Transmission but, instead, an expensive factory option. Car has amazing power and fast smooth acceleration. Steering and front end are tight, not sloppy. Brakes have been rebuilt and stop perfectly. Exhaust system, while not new, is quiet. Tires look almost new but, unfortunately, were purchased a long time ago and are developing hard spots and dry rot. Definitely need replacement. Check the prices on restored models and you will see these cars selling for 40K or more! You will not find a better restoration candidate or a more desirable antique car. I DO have the title as well as many previous owners' registration cards. Purchaser is responsible for pick up and transportation of vehicle. A $500 deposit is required within 24 ours of auction end. Balance is due within 7 days. I have described this car as accurately as possible, based on my many years of experience working on antique cars. I am not selling the vehicle with any guarantees, stated or implied. |

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
Fiat pondering swallowing rest of Chrysler, US IPO
Wed, 24 Apr 2013At the moment, Fiat is in court with the United Auto Workers, waiting for the justice system to provide some guidance on a fair price for 41.5-percent of Chrysler it doesn't own. Fiat owns 58.5 percent of the company and wishes to buy the remainder, which is owned by the union's VEBA retiree trust, but the Italian company and the UAW are on different sides of the galaxy when it comes to assigning a fair price to that outstanding stake.
Naturally, Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne is considering his options. A new report in the The Wall Street Journal says one of the scenarios being considered now is - depending on the outcome of the court case - to purchase the 41.5-percent stake and then issue an IPO to recoup some of the cost. About two months ago, Marchionne put the odds of an IPO for a wholly combined Fiat/Chrysler at 50 percent. Even with the WSJ report, it's not clear if those odds have changed.
The current company structure leaves a lot of options as to how a potential IPO could be issued, but it's said that Marchionne is against it, preferring "to be one company," under Fiat, indivisible. If Fiat is finally able to purchase all of the Pentastar, it would get access to Chrysler's war chest, pegged at $11.9 billion at the end of Q3 in 2012, and that money can't come soon enough for a brand taking a beating in Europe and delaying product over cash concerns.
Chrysler reports $166M net income for Q1, down $307M vs. 2012
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Preliminary first-quarter results from 2013 have been announced by Chrysler, and the company is reporting a net income of $166 million on revenue of $15.4 billion. Compared to this period last year, net income is down $307 million and revenue has dropped $1 billion.
Chrysler says that its quarter was negatively affected by the costs associated with launching its 2013 Ram Heavy Duty, 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee and preparation for the return of the all-new 2014 Jeep Cherokee pictured above. The launches should provide a strong second half of 2013, says the automaker. "We remain on track to achieve our business targets, even as the first-quarter results were affected by an aggressive product launch schedule," said Chrysler Group LLC Chairman and CEO Sergio Marchionne.
On a positive note, the automaker says worldwide vehicle sales are up 8 percent from one year ago, a number pushed by a 12 percent bump in U.S. retail sales. In addition, domestic market share has risen slightly, up to 11.4 percent from 11.2 percent last year. Read more in the official statement below.
