1970 Chrysler Newport Custom Coupe on 2040-cars
Year:1970
Mileage:105950
Location:
Pleasant Hill, California, United States
|
This 1970 Chrysler Newport Custom Coupe is an exceptionally clean, low mileage, highly optioned, original condition vehicle. It rides smoothly, steers tight and straight down the road and brakes confidently with power front disc brakes. The original 383 V8 runs wonderfully and burns no oil and the 727 TorqueFlite Transmission shifts smoothly and crisply. The seats are very comfortable and are like new, with the original herringbone teal cloth interior material and supportive foam padding. The instrument panel, steering wheel and dash pad are in exceptional condition and show no cracks or significant wear. The carpets are original and the factory floor mats are included with the car.
The door panels are good except the driver door panel is starting to show minor sun damage near the top of the door. The headliner is also in decent shape, however there is a minor split located above the drivers left shoulder. The chrome is presentable and the paint is shiny, however it would need a repaint to be show quality. There is no need for any significant body work since this car is very straight with tight panel gaps. The biggest flaw is a minor blemish just behind the driver door near the character line. There is no rust on this car as it is a California vehicle. The trunk floor is solid although it shows some very slight surface rust as shown in the photos. Virtually everything works in this vehicle - the power windows work great (although the rears are slow and need lubrication), the A/C blows ice cold and the AM/FM search-tune radio works as well. All lights, interior (dome, map light, under hood and trunk) work as they should. Recent work includes: the transmission selector shaft seal and pan gasket were replaced and the bands adjusted, the suspension was rebuilt around 80K miles and a very high efficiency radiator core was replaced along with other more minor maintenance items. A new fuel pump and fuel filter were also recently installed and the rear drum brakes were completely rebuilt with new shoes, cylinders and springs, new shocks in the rear were added as well. There are no leaks from the drive-line. An aftermarket temperature gauge was added to supplement the cold/hot warning lights that still work as well. The engine is the original 383-2 barrel V-8 and it is very smooth and quiet, and the exhaust system is in good shape and even the rear resonator is in place and adds to the overall silence of this vehicle. The tires are General Touring A/S in size 235-70-R15 and are like new riding on stock 7" rims. The rear end is an open 8 3/4 with 2.76 gears. The original jack, tire iron and a full size spare are all in place as well. The large Chrysler, Dodge and Plymouth fuselage C-bodies built from 1969-1973 are becoming very rare as most were driven into the ground or had their big block engines and drive-lines removed. From a driving perspective this one is exceptional. I've completed numerous 1,000 mile round trip drives from the Bay Area to L.A. in this car with the A/C on and never once has it missed a beat (most recent was last month) and it's an absolute joy to drive. It's quiet, does not overheat and can truly be used as a daily driver as I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car anywhere at a moments notice. This is a car that I hate to part with as the vinyl top delete cars are exceptionally rare and it gets attention everywhere it's taken. This is truly a turn-key car that needs nothing but a new driver. My only hope is that it goes to a good home. I encourage you to ask as many questions as you wish, as you will get honest answers, I assure you. Shipping of this vehicle (if need be) and pick up are the sole responsibility of the buyer, however I will help coordinate if necessary. I also encourage people to contact me so as to make an appointment to view this vehicle in person as you won't be disappointed. |

Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions
Tue, 03 Sep 2013It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
Germany says Fiat Chrysler also cheats on diesel emissions
Thu, Sep 1 2016In May, Germany threatened to ban Fiat Chrysler vehicles because they supposedly had diesel emissions cheat devices. The guilty vehicle at the time was a Fiat 500X. Since then, Italian regulators looked into the issue and said they found no such device. But Germany didn't back down, and filed papers today with the European Commission (EC) and the Italian Transport Ministry saying, again, that there were questionable emissions results in four FCA vehicles. According to Reuters, the Germany's new tests proved there was an, "illegal use of a device to switch off exhaust treatment systems" in the four FCA vehicles. According to Der Spiegel, the four vehicles in the latest batch of offenders are the two new 500Xs, a Fiat Doblo, and a Jeep Renegade. Alexander Dobrindt, Germany's Federal Minister of Transport, noted the vehicles in the letter to the EC, which also said that the EC should communicate with Italian regulators as the next step.

How to update and secure a vulnerable Chrysler Uconnect system
Sat, Jul 25 2015If you own one of the 1.4 million vehicles affected by the recent Chrysler software recall, you may want to watch this video. In it, we explain how to get the latest infotainment software loaded onto the 8.4-inch Uconnect system. The recall was a response to the findings of researchers who were able to hack into and remotely control a 2014 Jeep Cherokee through its cellular connection. Although Fiat Chrysler has worked with Sprint to plug most of the holes on the carrier side, there are still some vulnerabilities that only this latest software version can patch. Owners have three options to get the update: download it now, wait for a USB stick in the mail, or take the vehicle to an FCA dealer. Chrysler will be sending USB sticks loaded with the software update to customers. Anyone with an internet connection and a USB stick of their own with at least 4 GB capacity can speed things up by downloading the patch from the Uconnect website. We cover that process from start to finish in the video, with the final portion still applicable to those using the FCA-supplied USB stick. If after watching this you still don't want to tackle the patch yourself, you can take your vehicle to the dealer to have it done. Also note that this process is the same for all Uconnect updates, not just the one patching the exploits. Our demonstrator vehicle is a 2015 Ram 1500 pickup. The procedure should be very similar on other products with the 8.4-inch Uconnect system, with only the location of the USB port varying. Once you have the USB stick with the software on it – either after having downloaded it yourself or receiving it in the mail from Chrysler – the installation process is relatively simple. It takes about 15 minutes to perform the update; we edited out the wait in the video. To check whether or not your car's 8.4-inch Uconnect system is running the latest software, go to System Information on the touch screen's Settings page and look at Software Version. The update related to the recall is version 15.17.5. Related Video: Recalls Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM Safety Technology Infotainment Videos Original Video hacking
