1970 Chrysler Newport Base Hardtop 4-door 6.3l on 2040-cars
Dickinson, North Dakota, United States
In an era when muscle cars dominated sales, advertising and speed records, this was Chrysler's full-size powerhouse. Chrysler focused on the full-size luxury market, beginning with its bread-and-butter nameplate, the Newport. Completely redesigned, the Newport was one of the few automotive lines that ushered in the 1969 model year with fresh styling. Clean lines, affordable pricing and longer, wider bodies for increased comfort--capped off by a trio of big-block V-8 engines--resulted in 111,499 Newports sold in the first year, effectively assisting in keeping the Chrysler marque ahead of Cadillac and Lincoln in sales. Despite having been redesigned for the 1969 model year, each Newport continued to use the basic 124-inch wheelbase unit-body from previous model years.Over 40 years later, these family-man leviathans are still overshadowed by their powerful mid-size cousins. That's good news for those looking to enter the hobby on a tight budget, because the entry fee for Mopar power seems like a bargain when you stop to consider that the Newport could contain the same engine as a desirable GTX or Road Runner, available today at a fraction of the price of one of those highly sought models. Here are a few facts to consider before embarking on a search for a Newport of your own.ENGINES The standard engine for Chrysler's entry-level luxury car was a 383-cu.in. V-8 that produced 290hp and 380-lbs.ft. of torque with a 9.2:1 compression ratio and a two-barrel carburetor. Other visual cues when identifying this engine today include a single-outlet exhaust system and a single-snorkel air cleaner assembly. For 1970, compression was reduced to 8.7, although factory power ratings remained unchanged. This car was manufactured in the month of September year 1969. TRANSMISSIONS REAR AXLE This is a great car and will give someone years of road cruising pleasure. Overall the car is in good condition, the floor pans are all solid as well as the door jams and the overall body of the car. Light rust is all that is visible and the car is sound and solid.

2015 Chrysler 200 gets 36 mpg with Tigershark four-cylinder
Thu, 27 Mar 2014Chrysler has come out with the official fuel economy information on the new 200 following the info that was leaked from the EPA earlier this week. It turns out that our initial report of 18 miles per gallon in the city and 29 mpg on the highway for the all-wheel-drive V6 was correct.
What we didn't know at the time, though, was what sort of economy the 200's other powertrain options managed. Outfitted with the 2.4-liter four-pot, Chrysler is promising 23 mpg in the city and 36 mpg on the highway, with a combined rating of 28 mpg. Those figures are fairly impressive; besting figures of the 2.5-liter Ford Fusion and tying the 1.5-liter, EcoBoost, non-start-stop model. It's also beats the four-cylinder Toyota Camry's 35-mpg highway figure while tying its combined efficiency.
Stepping up to the 295-horsepower Pentastar V6 pushes the economy down to 19 mpg in the city, while the highway figure is a respectable 32 mpg for the front-driver. The combined rating for the FWD V6 is 23 mpg. Those figures can't quite match the 270-horsepower 2.0-liter, EcoBoost four of the Fusion, which nets 22 city and 33 highway. In fact, the V6 200 has trouble besting even the 3.5-liter V6 of the Camry, which returns 21 mpg city and 31 mpg highway. Again, though, the 200 is noticeably more powerful.
Are you the 2015 Chrysler 300?
Tue, 16 Sep 2014When Chrysler showed us its hand and revealed its five-year product plan to the world, we learned that the updated 300 sedan will bow at the LA Auto Show in November. Now, thanks to Allpar, we might have our first (super grainy) look at the new sedan a full two months ahead of its official debut.
Unlike its Dodge Charger platform mate, the new 300 isn't really all that different from the model currently on sale. That said, we're not sure if the changes shown here really reflect styling that we'd call "better," with the company's logo sort of floating at the top of the grille, and a more simplistic front end that lets the schnoz stick out a bit. Again, nothing drastic to talk about, but the new tweaks are kind of weak. Of course, we'll wait until we see the finished product in the metal before we make up our minds.
Don't expect things to change too much in terms of interior refinement or powertrain offerings, as well, with all the same leather and technology we've enjoyed in the 300 before, and the usual 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powertrain options. We'll know for sure when the car shows its freshened face in Los Angeles in November.
Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
