1961 Chrysler Newport 2 door hardtop I have a clear California title in my name. The vehicle is currently registered and insured in my name. The car does drive and I have driven it very little in the last year, as I’ve been trying to make it more reliable for weekday and weekend drives. The vehicle you see is in the same condition as I had purchased it, I have done nothing with the paint, body, suspension. Only what I’ve described below. Factory specs for this vehicle: 361 2 bbl. Automatic push button transmission Power steering Power Brakes Heater Radio Delete Remote side view mirror Body: All body panels are fairly straight, small dings and scratches here and there. Paint is weak, tiny spot chips here and there. Looks like single stage, quick spray job who ever painted it. Missing: door and fender
trim, both sides. Passenger side rear quarter window trim. (The trim between the two windows) Appears to have been repaired in the driver’s side rear quarter panel near tail light/bumper (see pics) Whoever painted this car got crazy with painting EVERYTHING red, the control arms, frame, heater box, valve covers, air cleaner. I wanted to tone it down a bit so I started detailing the engine compartment. Rust: Small bubble spots on lower
rockers and lower rear quarter panel. More evident on passenger side. Driver/passenger side front floors pans have some small fiberglass patches over existing floor. Rust spot on driver side C pillar near rear window. Lower trunk gasket area rusted out, only on bottom area, not top or sides. Trunk floor has surface rust, but NOT rusted through, no holes. Rear seat floors are solid Frame front to back is solid, rust free.
Interior: Seats front and rear need recovering. Needs new headliner, needs carpets. I removed the badly cracked dash pad and sagging headliner. Door panels are decent but those should be redone as well. Driver side door handle is removed due to a tension spring that broke and connects to knob. Suspension: Torsion bars lowered up front but can be adjusted to raise it higher. Leaf spring rear, has air shocks and 2 1/2 ” lowering blocks. Tires: 14” stock wheels with bias ply tires. Tires will need replacing at some point but are decent enough for light driving. Engine: Previous owner had radiator flushed, cleaned, re-cored. Gas tank was boiled and sealed. Points, cap and wires replaced. Alternator looks relatively new. What I’ve done: Brakes: All new
brakes
cylinders front & back, brake hoses, spring kits, and shoes. Brake
drums
haven’t been ordered. Power brake booster is off the car for now. Still
working on getting the brakes bled and adjusted before sale. Carb: New carb kit, fuel
filter, added fuel pressure gauge New spark plugs, New MSD blaster coil New battery Electrical: Ordered and installed a professionally made (looks OEM) front and rear wiring harness. Every wire labeled, new bulbs, etc. The entire harness was a little over $1,100.00. If you require any specific details about this car please contact me ASAP, BEFORE the auction ends. If I've missed any details in my description I'd be more than happy to answer your questions. |

Consumer Reports no longer recommends Honda Civic
Mon, Oct 24 2016Consumer Reports annual Car Reliability Survey is out, and yes, there are some big surprises. First and foremost? The venerable publication no longer recommends the Honda Civic. In fact, aside from the walking-dead CR-Z and limited-release Clarity fuel-cell car, the Civic is the only Honda to miss out on CR's prestigious nod. At the opposite end there's a surprise as well – Toyota and Lexus remain the most reliable brands on the market, but Buick cracked the top three. That's up from seventh last year, and the first time for an American brand to stand on the Consumer Reports podium. Mazda's entire lineup earned Recommended checks as well. Consumer Reports dinged the Civic for its "infuriating" touch-screen radio, lack of driver lumbar adjustability, the limited selection of cars on dealer lots fitted with Honda's popular Sensing system, and the company's decision to offer LaneWatch instead of a full-tilt blind-spot monitoring system. Its score? A lowly 58. The Civic isn't the only surprise drop from CR's Recommended ranks. The Audi A3, Ford F-150, Subaru WRX/STI, and Volkswagen Jetta, GTI, and Passat all lost the Consumer Reports' checkmark. On the flipside, a number of popular vehicles graduated to the Recommended ranks, including the BMW X5, Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Cruze, Hyundai Santa Fe, Porsche Macan, and Tesla Model S. Perhaps the biggest surprise is the hilariously recall-prone Ford Escape getting a Recommended check – considering the popularity of Ford's small crossover, this is likely a coup for the brand, as it puts the Escape on a level playing field with the Recommended Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V, and Nissan Rogue. While Ford is probably happy to see CR promote the Escape, the list wasn't as kind for every brand. For example, of the entire Fiat Chrysler Automobiles catalog, the ancient Chrysler 300 was the only car to score a check – there wasn't a single Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, or Ram on the list. That hurts. FCA isn't alone at the low end, either. GMC, Jaguar Land Rover, Mini, and Mitsubishi don't have a vehicle on CR's list between them, while brands like Mercedes-Benz, Volvo, Nissan, Lincoln, Infiniti, and Cadillac only have a few models each.

Fiat talking with banks about buying rest of Chrysler
Wed, 13 Feb 2013All that stands in the way of Fiat's total ownership of Chrysler is a 41.5-percent stake currently held by the United Auto Workers healthcare trust, but according to SFGate.com, Sergio Marchionne is currently trying to raise the capital to complete the acquisition. The article says that a deal could be completed in as soon as 12 months, and the estimate for the remaining stake could cost Fiat SpA around $2.98 billion.
With a goal of completing the deal by the end of 2014, Marchionne is said to be in talks with various banks to help finance some of the deal. According to the report, the banks have indicated a need for a stronger balance sheet, controlled debt and reserve cash.
Two things that don't seem to be on the table to get the deal completed include issuing new shares to raise the capital or selling a stake in Ferrari. Fiat started with a 20 percent share of Chrysler in June 2009, and it raised its stake up to 58.5 percent in January 2012.
10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags
Sun, Dec 14 2014Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.
