1951 Chrysler New Yorker convertible, original Hemi V-8 in great running condition, fully operational. Car started life in California (have origin owner's registration cards to prove it), later Indiana. This Chrysler has never been hit, has NO rot thru (with exception of a small area below trunk lid, and on base of spare tire carrier), and every body panel is super straight. Doors hang perfectly, close precisely, convertible top operates freely, no binding, however, top motor does not work, pistons are disconnected to allow manual operation. All chrome and trim is present and duplicate pieces are included, too. All glass is in good condition, no cracks, all window mechanisms work smoothly. Floors are perfect, body mounts are solid, frame is perfect, body panels fit well. There is surface rust in spots but NO rot. I replaced the trunk lid, which was heavily pitted, with another of same year and primed, painted it with left over paint, just to prevent rust. You can have the original if you wish. Sills are in great shape as is trunk floor. Car has had fresh oil and filter change, fresh tune up. Motor runs whisper quiet, always maintains 40 lbs of oil pressure. The Fluid Torque transmission shifts perfectly and operates as an automatic. Clutch is required to engage Drive or Reverse, after you can just go and stop as with an automatic without using the clutch. Occasionally the throw out bearing does do some squealing as if running dry. This is not your ordinary Fluid Drive Transmission but, instead, an expensive factory option. Car has amazing power and fast smooth acceleration. Steering and front end are tight, not sloppy. Brakes have been rebuilt and stop perfectly. Exhaust system, while not new, is quiet. Tires look almost new but, unfortunately, were purchased a long time ago and are developing hard spots and dry rot. Definitely need replacement. Check the prices on restored models and you will see these cars selling for 40K or more! You will not find a better restoration candidate or a more desirable antique car. I DO have the title as well as many previous owners' registration cards. Purchaser is responsible for pick up and transportation of vehicle. A $500 deposit is required within 24 ours of auction end. Balance is due within 7 days. I have described this car as accurately as possible, based on my many years of experience working on antique cars. I am not selling the vehicle with any guarantees, stated or implied. |

Five automakers now being investigated by NHTSA for airbag woes
Thu, 12 Jun 2014It appears that Toyota's renotification to owners of recalled vehicles from last year is just the tip of the iceberg for what could potentially be a much larger industry-wide recall. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation investigation into roughly 1.1 million vehicles from Chrysler, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Toyota and parts supplier Takata regarding faulty airbag inflators in several models.
NHTSA has received six reports - three directly, two from Takata and one from Toyota - of vehicles with ruptured airbag inflators from 2002-2006, which resulted in three injuries. So far, all six incidents have occurred in high humidity areas like Florida and Puerto Rico. According to Toyota's latest recall announcement, the inflators may have an improper propellant that could cause it to rupture in a crash and the bag to deploy abnormally.
This new investigation follows a previous recall from April 2013 of about 3.4 million vehicles worldwide for the airbag inflators from Takata. As Autoblog reported, Toyota jumpstarted the new situation when it found that the original list of serial numbers for the faulty part was incomplete and discovered more cars in need of replacement. Honda and Nissan told us that they were investigating whether further models would need called in again as well. Mazda told Autoblog: "Regarding the current Takata situation, we're working closely with NHTSA and investigating the situation, but nothing else to report at this time." Chrysler Group responded to us with the statement: "Chrysler Group engineers are conducting the appropriate analysis. The Company will cooperate fully with the National Highway Traffic Administration."
Some Jeep Cherokees and Chrysler 200s to get standard stop-start in 2015
Wed, 25 Jun 2014Automakers the world over are striving to find ways to make their models more efficient, and Chrysler has a solution for some versions of the 2015 Chrysler 200 and 2015 Jeep Cherokee (2014 model shown). The Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder in the 200 and the 3.2-liter Pentastar V6 in the Cherokee are getting a slight boost later this year thanks to the addition of Chrysler's Engine Stop-Start system as standard equipment. The company predicts modest gains - a three-percent improvement in fuel economy and a three percent reduction in CO2 emissions with the new tech compared to without it. While it's not much, those who sit in traffic a lot may see a difference.
Chrysler's stop/start system uses a high-speed starter motor to restart the vehicle in a claimed a third of a second. It works by detecting when the vehicle comes to a stop and turning off the engine. A more powerful battery maintains all of the model's accessories while it sits. When the driver lets off the brake, the car starts up again to drive away. There is even a button in the cabin to turn the ESS off, if desired.
The Jeep will be the first to receive ESS in the third quarter of this year to coincide with the start of production of the 2015 model-year version. The 200 will follow in the fourth quarter as a rolling change in production.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
