New Yorker, 440-hp, 727, Tnt, 8.75 Sure-grip, E86, U-code on 2040-cars
Jamestown, New York, United States
INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION You are viewing a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker, equipped with its
orignal "numbers-matching" (engine and transmission stampings)
"U" code (E86 on fender tag), 440-HP (which stands for "High
Performance", and "HP" is stamped on the block ID pad) V8, mated
to a 727 "TorqueFlite" transmission, and a 3.23:1 ratio, 8.75 inch "Sure-Grip" rear end. The vehicle has just under 98,000 original
miles. This vehicle is being offered with no reserve. Please plan your
bid strategies accordingly as whenever auction ends, vehicle will belong to a new owner (see auction success considerations below for more information). Let me give you a few Mopar marketing names to start:
"TNT" in the Chryslers, "Magnum" in the Dodges, and
"Super Commando" in the Plymouths.
All these names refer to the 370 horsepower, 480 ft.
lbs. of torque, 9.5:1 compression engine available in the Imperials, the
Challengers, the Cudas, the Chargers, and the pursuit-class police cars in
1971. Recall that the last higher-compression, big-block B/RB engines
were produced in 1971. I bought this car a decade ago from the original owner with the intention
to restore it. The vehicle did not need very much mechanical work aside
from a tune-up and carburetor rebuilt. However,
since it has not been on the road in over three years, it will need to be gone through to be completely
roadworthy (if you are the winner, you should plan to trailer it to your destination). The vehicle easily moves under its own power and can be driven onto/off of a trailer or car
carrier. Options on this New Yorker worth noting are dual exhaust power
seats, power windows, tilt-telescoping steering column, four speaker stereo
(poor reception), air conditioning (system intact but not blowing cold air),
and power door locks (non functioning). I do have the factory build
sheet. The paint is 'Tahitian Walnut Metallic" and it has had at
least one low quality repaint in its lifetime. If restoration is planned,
it will need to be repainted as there are faded areas and assorted other imperfections
in both the finish and the sheet metal (dings, scratches, etc). The condition of the floors, trunk, and frame is shown and there is
no rust through, damage, or repairs that would affect structural integrity.
The only rust area visible is a quarter-sized hole in the rear valence
just above the passenger side exhaust pipe (the result of exhaust gas
condensation from the tailpipe position). The glass is all good and the trim and bumpers are in fair driver-quality
consistent with the age of the vehicle. Although
not shown, all the trim pieces around the rear windows are now affixed to the
vehicle. I did install a new aftermarket
carpet, new mufflers and tailpipes, and a new vinyl roof. The dash is
straight and headliner is intact. The original
vinyl seats have several defects as shown. This Chrysler New Yorker is a rare piece of American turnpike-cruising iron, with one of the most powerful engines ever put into a passenger car up to that time: the "TNT" 440-HP, the same powertrain as the legendary Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge-branded muscle and police cars from a bygone era. I hope a potential new buyer will take the slow, steady affordable approach to the restoration of this car so it can chew up turnpikes like it did in the old days. Alternatively, if you intend to part it out for a Dodge or Plymouth "muscle car" project, or any other reasons, that’s your choice of course too. I mean where else are you going to find a real, matching, unmolested original 440-HP TNT engine, 727 transmission, and 3.23 Sure-Grip laying around these days? AUCTION SUCCESS CONSIDERATIONS I have established a reasonable reserve (reserve will not be revealed while the auction is running) for this 1971 Chrysler New Yorker. Please consider bidding during the auction to the extent and level you deem appropriate and based on whatever factors are important to you. Again this vehicle is being offered with no reserve. Please plan your bid strategies accordingly, because if the auction runs its full course this vehicle will belong to the highest bidder. Vehicle is also for sale locally so please note that I reserve the right to end this auction early at my sole discretion. . I am sorry in advance for the following realizing it will not apply to the vast majority of responsible Ebay members: Encountering non-paying or unresponsive bidders is a very disruptive event that makes the auction experience quite unpleasant for both the seller and any legitimate potential buyer(s). Please BE SURE BEFORE YOU BID that you have done whatever you need to do to STAND BEHIND the actual bid(s) YOU MADE and were recorded during the auction. Because of a tendency to simply misunderstand or just outright ignore Ebay and seller auction requirements, bidders with less than 5 (five) feedback ratings may, at my discretion have their bids canceled (I may or may not try to contact you before canceling your bid) and then blocked from further bidding on this auction unless they contact me in advance of bidding. Bidders who make and then cancel their bid(s) will also be blocked from further bidding on this auction. INSPECTION AND WARRANTY INFORMATION Please ask any questions that you may have that may not have been answered by this detailed listing narrative and visual media attachments. My listings are constructed in complete sentences in order to communicate my knowledge of important facts and to encourage independent thoughts and then any questions from interested parties. But respectfully, I do not know what is important to you that may not have been discussed or depicted herein unless you ask me. Any and all relevant and appropriate questions you submit while the auction is running will be answered promptly and as thoroughly as possible by email only to ensure clarity of any correspondences. Given that this is a used vehicle, please do not have unreasonable expectations as to its current condition or future condition under your ownership. Also given its obvious age, this vehicle represents whatever standards of design, quality, and workmanship that existed when it was built, so comparisons to improved build standards of today's vehicles is not appropriate. Your bid forms the basis for a binding, legally enforceable contract. As such, if you require it, please make all pre-purchase inspections (at the sole expense of the bidder) before committing to purchase the vehicle. Inspections can be done by appointment only by you or your designated inspection service. Although I believe I have described and depicted (with numerous high-resolution photographs) this vehicle accurately, please note that this vehicle is sold "as-is, where-is” with no express or implied warranties or guarantees of any kind. PAYMENT AND STORAGE A $500 deposit is required from the winning bidder, due electronically via PayPal within 24 hours after the auction ends, to hold the vehicle. I will not be accepting trades. Full payment is due within 3 days of auction end via cash, wire transfer, or certified bank check (drawn on a major US bank). Clear title in my name is in hand and vehicle can be scheduled for buyer pickup by appointment at anytime after full payment is received and cleared. I can hold the vehicle for 15 days (or longer, if weather or other uncontrollable factors emerge) at no charge to the winning bidder after the auction (the charge is $5.00 per day after 15 days). Thank you for viewing my auction. |

Dodge Durango to stay classy with Ron Burgundy as spokesperson [w/video]
Sat, 05 Oct 2013The upcoming 2014 Dodge Durango has a lot of things going for it, including its 290-horsepower V6 and 360-hp Hemi V8 engine options, an eight-speed automatic and aggressive looks. And now it will have Ron Burgundy, the fictional television news anchor played by comedian Will Ferrell, as a spokesperson, Adweek reports. He follows in the footsteps of other non-fictional Chrysler brand spokespeople such as Eminem, Clint Eastwood and the late Paul Harvey.
Though the star of 2004's Anchorman and the upcoming Anchorman 2 is wildly popular, we're not sure we see a Dodge spokesperson in Burgundy. (Please, no womanizing or scotchy, scotch, scotch before test test drives). But at this point there's no turning back: Chrysler's chief marketing officer Olivier Francois previewed three ad spots at the Association of National Advertisers (ANA) Masters of Marketing conference in Phoenix on Friday, and says Chrysler has already filmed 68(!) Durango ads with the fictional newsman.
According to Adweek, one of the ads previewed had Burgundy highlighting the SUV's glovebox size, and in another he compared its horsepower to a white horse standing next to him. Will this help Dodge Durango sales improve? We can only wait and see. In the meantime, feel free to share your thoughts in Comments, and check out the trailer for Anchorman 2 below.
How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution
Sun, 30 Dec 2012The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.
Chrysler 100 hatchback caught cruising around Santa Monica
Thu, 21 Feb 2013A coming hatchback said to be called the Chrysler 100 has been caught on video traipsing around Santa Monica by Autoblog reader Zach Dillman. Still wearing the scrapyard assemblage of Alfa Romeo Giulietta body panels as it was when spy photographers began capturing it last summer, its arrival date is still a question mark: some outlets have reported that it will go on sale this year, others have said it won't be in showrooms until 2016.
In fact, quite a few questions remain. Based on Fiat's Compact US Wide (CUSW) platform that supports the Dodge Dart and expected to be about the same size, the 100 is thought to be a small premium hatchback that will be priced above the Dart and below the Chrysler 200, with the idea that it can challenge the Ford Focus and Hyunda Elantra at the value end and the Buick Verano and Acura ILX at the premium end. Word is that there will be no sedan version.
It looks like there'll be plenty of gewgaws inside, with buttons for Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning and a button to toggle the traction control.
