1967 CHRYSLER NEWPORT CUSTOM 2DR. FAST TOP

383 4bbl. V8 engine
727 torqueflite automatic transmission
Black bucket seat interior with buddy seat...left one is power...right one reclines
Factory am radio with rear speaker and reverberator (echo chamber sound!)
Factory vacuum operated trunk release
Factory cruise control (not currently working)
Factory air conditioning....works good!
Factory automatic headlight dimmer
Power steering, power drum brakes

Car is in good, driver condition. Used to have a black vinyl top, but it was shredded from the sun, so it was removed and roof was painted.   Most of the paint on the car is original...only the front fender extensions and part of the left front fender are NOT original paint.  Car is a very solid, no rot , dry climate car that has spent it's life in dry Montana and Wyoming.  Only rust that I see is slight bubbling on left quarter panel above the fender skirt.  Also has rust in trunk floor on right side in the area of one of the plastic plugs.  Trunk floor is very good except for that one area and some surface rust.  Frame rails, lower quarters, floors, etc. are excellent!

Interior is presentable, and nice for the age.  Door panels, dash pad, headliner, etc. are excellent.  Rear seat cushion has one split seam, and right seat has a split seam on backrest and a couple of other small flaws.  Also, there is something wrong with the reclining mechanism of the right seat, so it leans back a little bit more than it should.

Engine seems fine...I have only driven the car around 500 miles in 4 years, so it never gets the cobwebs blown out of it...that is the main reason that I am selling..just no time to enjoy it and no inside storage for it.  It is too good of a car to let sit and go to waste!
Transmission works fine
Car drives good ...probably as good as it did in 1967
Air Cond. works...heater is bypassed so I assume that it needs a new heater core
Factory cruise does not work
Car stops, but is making a scraping sound in rear...I installed rebuilt master cylinder and brake booster. I have new brake hoses, and brake shoes that go with the car.

Has aftermarket chrome wire basket style 15 inch wheels....including spare.  I believe that these were installed early in the cars life.  I have the wire baskets, but they need a good cleaning...I left them off as I don't like the looks of them.
Tires are old, but have good tread...no cracks yet that I see, but I would recommend replacing them.

If you have any questions about the car....please feel free to ask BEFORE bidding!  Car is being sold as is with no warranty.  I would recommend trailering it, but I have driven it on 20-30 mile runs with no issues, but have never been on a long trip with it.

PAYMENT TO BE MADE AS FOLLOWS:  $500.00 DEPOSIT WITHIN 72 HOURS AFTER AUCTION ENDS. BALANCE DUE WITHIN 7 DAYS AFTER AUCTION ENDS.
Shipping is responsibility of purchaser, but I will gladly store it for up to 6 months.  

I reserve the right to cancel auction at any time up until reserve is met.  Once reserve is met, auction will continue until the end.

Marchionne says Fiat Chrysler can make 6 million cars per year

Tue, 01 Apr 2014

The combined Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will see its production capacity increase from a projected 4.6 million in 2014 to 6 million units once it completes its integration, according to statements made by FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"With the initiatives we will announce in May, six million is accessible," Marchionne said during a Fiat shareholders' meeting in Turin, according to The Detroit News. Marchionne is aiming to complete the merger between the Turin, Italy-based Fiat and the Auburn Hills, MI-based Chrysler by the end of this year.
Increasing production by 1.4 million units is no small order, particularly when combined Fiat and Chrysler sales have increased only modestly in the past few years - only 4.4 million units were sold in 2013, and while 4.6 million is projected for 2014, 4.5 million is also a distinct possibility. Six million units per year has been Marchionne's self-imposed goal for the combined automaker, according to The News, claiming that FCA would need to crest that point to achieve profitability.

Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns

Tue, 08 Jul 2014

Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.

Chrysler-Fiat quality chief out after another poor Consumer Reports showing

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler has announced a management change following the company's woeful performance in the latest Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey. Of the 28 brands surveyed, FCA's marques occupied the five the seven lowest scores, while Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat were the four lowest scorers.
Doug Betts, FCA's 51-year-old head of quality "left the company to pursue other interests," which, considering the aforementioned paragraph, means he was sacked. According to Automotive News, Betts joined Chrysler in 2007, defecting from Nissan, and, insiders report, had a somewhat tumultuous relationship with new boss Sergio Marchionne.
His replacement is the newly promoted Matthew Lidane (shown at inset), who was formerly VP of systems and components. Lidane has been at Chrysler since 1987 and was previously chief engineer of the Jeep product team as well as the vehicle line boss for the compact US wide platform which (ironically) underpins two of FCA's lowest scoring vehicles, the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee.
