1974 Chrysler New Yorker. One family (three generations) owned since new. Car has been always very well taken care of and garaged. The car has also been regularly serviced over the years as scheduled and needed. This is a somewhat unique car in that it was one of the last remaining large bodied Chryslers made, as the oil embargo of the late 1970s really was a game changer for automobile design at the time.. Chrysler in particular. As such, few 1974 large Chryslers were sold that year. Also somewhat interesting to note, is the fact that 1974 was the last year that cars were not required to be manufactured with catalytic converters as mandated by the Federal Government for 1975 and newer cars. As such, the 1974 models could still run on “high-test” leaded fuel. Being a “hardtop” also makes it a touch more special.

I would describe the overall condition of the car to be very good, not perfect, but very good. If you are looking for a Pebble Beach or Greenwich concours winner, this would not be your car. If you are looking for a good solid car that presents well and you can have fun driving a somewhat unique car to your favorite local car shows or date nights, then I think you’ll be pleased for years to come.

Mechanically, the engine starts well and revs well until it is warmed up and then you can easily knock it down to a lower rpm by punching the gas pedal quickly – exactly as it was designed. The car shifts through it’s three speed Torqueflite gears with ease and without issue. The engine does not smoke or burn any noticeable oil to speak of. The original am/fm stereo works well (don’t expect today’s sound quality or reception). The heater/vent/ac systems all seem to work, but I would argue that the AC is a bit anemic and could benefit from a charge. All power windows function as they should. The car tracks down the road nicely and offers a comfortable ride without any odd noises or noticeable issues. The odometer works and reads 73,985 miles and I believe this to be accurate, but I cannot confirm this officially – it may have been around once.

Cosmetically, I would describe the car as a 6-footer. From 6 feet away, the car presents very nicely with decent shine on paintwork and chrome. Closer inspection would reveal imperfections that 40 years of even light service would reflect. The same could be said of the parchment color interior. There are a couple small holes in the headliner, but the vinyl seats are all in good shape. Several years ago, Brougham seats (front & back), that were a perfect color and size match for the more generic standard New Yorker seats, were installed to not only give a better look to the car, but to provide greater comfort. The car has never been in any significant accident and posses all original sheet metal.

I have many OEM trim parts available for the car that I have collected over the years and I will make them available to the winning bidder. Also included is a mint rear bumper (there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the one on the car, but the chrome is less than perfect).

In describing the condition of the car in any way, it should be noted that I am not an automotive professional, dealer or mechanic. I have attempted to describe the car as accurately as possible as an automotive lay person. All bidders and prospective buyers of this automobile MUST make their own assessments as to the condition of the car to satisfy their desires and needs – my description should be used as a general guide only. The car will be available for viewing, driving and inspection at mutually convenient times and all must be performed prior to auction close. The car is 40 years old – please consider this accordingly before you bid! There is absolutely no warranty, guarantee or set aside for the sale of this car. In other words, the car is being sold As-Is/Where-is. Again, it is the bidder’s responsibility to thoroughly satisfy themselves with the overall condition of the car prior to bidding, and then bid accordingly. The car does not come with a title, only because the State of Connecticut does not title cars manufactured prior to 1981.

The winning bidder is responsible for pick-up and delivery costs and arrangements.

Thank you for considering this car – I am sure it will make the right person happy!

2022 Chrysler 300 gains a little, loses a little

Mon, Oct 11 2021

Like an old player who will do anything to keep playing the game, the Chrysler 300 returns in 2022 to limp through another round in the sales arena. No one will be surprised to find out Chrysler doesn't have much in mind for the sedan that still stands out for being unlike segment competitors. The Touring, Touring L, and S trims carry over, and they all stick with Uconnect 4C on an 8.4-inch touchscreen, not the upgraded Uconnect 5 infotainment introduced this year that even the fleet-only 2022 Voyager gets. They are also fitted with the new air filtration system going into every Chrysler product, which removes 95% of particulates from the air. Otherwise, the entry-level model goes untouched. The Touring L gets the $995 Sport Appearance Package as standard equipment next year, which gussies the four-door up with a performance front fascia in body color with Black Noise badges, black pockets in the headlights, LED fog lamps, black LED taillights, black chrome moldings and 20-inch Black Noise wheels instead of the standard 18-inchers in polished aluminum.Â Next year's 300S makes the Popular Equipment Group standard equipment, an option that costs $3,495 on the 2021 model. This includes navigation, a dual-pane sunroof, and nine-speaker Alpine audio with a 506-watt amplifier, surround sound and a sub in the trunk.Â Â The $1,995 Comfort Group hold steady on the options list next year, its 15 features increased with the addition of a new alarm system.Â Chrysler's trimmed other options that were available on the current model year before the order books closed this month.Â Amethyst and Canyon Sunset exterior colors are gone, so too is the Driver Convenience Group and its universal garage door opener. Mopar Insiders says the only interior choices next year will be Black, and Black with Linen, which would mean the retirement of Black Smoke and Radar Red. Production for the 2021 models will continue until December at the latest. The 2022 sedans are expected on dealer lots early next year. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians

Tue, Aug 15 2017

NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience Â— in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin Â— though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.
