Up for auction is my 1965 Chrysler Newport coupe.  A 99% all-original car!  Unrestored cars are all the rage right now, so here's your chance to own one.  Below are the descriptions for all areas - feel free to ask questions.

   BODY:  super straight,  with original white paint, which is very thin on roof, hood, & trunk lid.  Some areas have tiny pinprick size dots of surface rust.  The only rust holes in this car are one that's in the trunk (see photo of my hand pointing to it), and a small area on driver's floor (also shown in photo)  Both are easily fixable.
  Hood opens & closes perfectly, as does the trunk. Both doors are solid, no sagging hinges.
  All stainless steel trim is near perfect; the only dent being on the rocker below driver's door.  The only piece that is missing on this car is a 2" long rocker trim, that is actually on the right side fender skirt.  Chrome bumpers are straight & not dented, but front bumper has a one area of flaked-off chrome, which shows as surface rust.  Grill is immaculate!
  Glass is all good, with one small chip in windshield. Window mechanisms need lubed on 3 windows.
  INTERIOR: Original white vinyl, with rips/seam splits on front seat (thus the cover) Back seat has a few split seams too.  Headliner is brand new, as is package shelf. Black vinyl dash is near perfect also.  Original carper it pretty much shot. Door panels look pretty good, but have wear marks on driver's door.
  All electrical stuff works great, except radio: light comes on, but no sound.  Map light needs new bulb.  Inside glove compartment on door, is the original service tag, with the date  6-11-65 written in delivery box!  Very cool !  Wipers, lights, gas gauge,  horn, turn signals - including indicator lights on front fenders - all work fine.
  ENGINE:  Runs strong & perfect! Has new alternator, belt, new valve cover gaskets, spark plugs, just rebuilt carb, voltage regulator, new fuel pump, and air filter.  This car runs super - when you step on the gas, it jumps!
  DRIVE  TRAIN: 3-spd 727 auto tranny shifts perfectly, and I had a new idler arm installed.  Tires are one year old radials with only 5,000 miles on them.

   Please note the beautiful wheel covers with spinners, original with this car.  These are some of the best you'll see!

  This is a really great old car, that could use some cosmetics to be really nice, or just drive it as it is.  but be sure your garage is long enough: bumper to bumper measures 18'-2"   !!  They don't build them like this anymore....

  Any questions, please email or call.  My home phone (eves/weekends) is 541-726-8467.  Weekdays is 541-285-7859

Shipping:  Please get your own quotes, as there are far too many companies with lots of prices.  I will work with the driver on this end, and be available to load it at the pick-up area 3 miles from my house.

Good luck bidding!

FCA cuts powertrain warranties to 60k miles

Fri, May 29 2015

FCA US is cutting back the mileage of its powertrain warranty on some 2016 model year vehicles. Rather than the current five years/100,000 miles of coverage, the new amount is five years/60,000 miles for gasoline-fueled models from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram. In March 2015, General Motors made a similar switch to five-years/60,000-miles of coverage for Chevrolet and GMC, and FCA US seems to be citing this as part of the reason for the shift. "Following changes already made by competitors, FCA US is adjusting powertrain warranty coverage for 2016 model year vehicles to be more consistent with industry practices," the automaker said in a portion of its statement. The bumper-to-bumper warranty for these vehicles is unchanged at three years/36,000 miles. According to Automotive News, Fiat's warranty is remaining at four years/50,000 miles. When it changed the mileage limit, GM also halved the number of free service visits for Chevy, GMC, and Buick to two from the previous four. The automaker claimed that the reason for the adjustments to its coverage was that a long warranty was seldom a reason for customers to buy a vehicle.

The basic coverage, also known as "bumper to bumper," remains at 3 years/36,000 miles. # # # News Source: FCA US, Automotive News - sub. req.Image Credit: Mark Ralston / AFP / Getty Images Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Car Buying Maintenance Ownership FCA warranty fca us powertrain

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure

Tue, 16 Apr 2013

Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.

2015 Chrysler 300 First Drive [w/video]

Mon, Dec 22 2014

When Chrysler last updated its 300 in 2011, the fullsize sedan market was a very different place than it is today. Ford's redesigned Taurus was in showrooms, sure, but segment stalwarts like the Toyota Avalon and Chevrolet Impala were languishing at the tail end of their model cycles. And still, the second-generation 300 (not counting the "letter series" cars from the 1950s and '60s, of course) failed to recapitulate the booming success of the model reboot in 2004. Something in the combination of the down economy, higher gas prices and great product from front-wheel-drive entries in the class kept the 300 from the six-digit sales numbers it saw in the early 2000s. For the 2015 model year, Chrysler hopes that a more clearly defined purpose for its big sedan, combined with liberal dipping into the corporate tech toy box, will rekindle buyer interest. Considering the mild characters and front-driver dynamics of its mainstream competition, the promise of V8 power and rear-wheel drive should at least turn the heads of those looking for a car with a little edge. I grabbed the keys of the edgiest of the bunch, the sport-intended 300S, and found a big sedan that gives away some practicality to the rest of its segment mates. The trade-off for the dip in pragmatism is an uptick and driving fun and attitude that should make all the difference for the right buyer. Even though the hard-to-miss face of the 300 has come in for another nip and tuck, that attitude is still clearly on display, too. The grille of the 300 is some 33-percent larger than the outgoing model, though it's still far less brutal than the throwback styling of the 2005 "Baby Bentley" car, at least to my eyes. The cheese grater insert is metallic in most trims of the 300, though the 300S you see in my photo set gets the meaner blacked-out treatment. A quick scroll through our gallery will show you that the rest of the 300 has been similarly changed but not reinvented. Light clusters front and rear are revised, the rear clip has been re-forged with less busy styling, and the whole car has been de-chromed to a large extent (this 300S is wearing the least blingy outfit of the bunch). That rear spoiler is S-model specific. I held the existing 300 interior in fairly high regard, and this new car improves on that base.
