1973 Chrysler Newport with the rare Navaho package. Low mileage car. First owner had it from 1973 to 1976. Second owner 1976 to 2012. Then I bought if from his estate. Starts right up, shifts great and floats down the highway like a dream. Drive anywhere, ready to go. Comes with original window stickers, dealer paperwork, owner's manual, etc. I am out of room and need to divest myself of some of my toys.
400 cubic inch V8 engine. Automatic transmission. Air conditioning (still has R12 has not been converted to R134A. Does not blow cold.)
The Navaho package was offered only a few years and I believe 1973 was the last year that it was offered. All Navahos came with the copper metallic paint with burnt orange pinstripes, white vinyl roof and above all the burnt orange colored factory "shag" carpet and Navaho seat fabric. If you were alive in 1973 (like I was) you'd simply say "It was the style at the time". This 19.5 foot long four door hardtop beast really attracts attention at cruise nights and local car shows. Also 1973 was the last of Chrysler's "fuselage" style cars. Someone will enjoy this car for many years forward.
I've included many pics. Please ask questions before you bid. Please do not bid if you don't intend to pay. Check my 100% positive eBay feedback. Remember this car is very old. She is far from perfect but she is a great unrestored original car. There is some rust here and there but the underside is extremely nice and solid. It is not a rust bucket. The interior is awesome. (There is one seam on the back seat that is coming open from age, not wear.) The dash is not cracked at all. Car is sold as is/where is. I live near Reading PA, about 65 miles outside of Philadelphia. Pickup only. You can send your shipper and I will do what I can to accommodate you but I cannot arrange or help you with shipping. Car stays in my garage until all funds are securely in my possession. Mileage may be a little higher than stated because I do take the car out sometimes.
Reserve is very realistic. Good Luck!

Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."
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.
Volkswagen Routan dead one last time
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Volkswagen halted production of the Routan minivan in late 2012 due to low sales volume, but there were reports swirling around that it would live on and continue production alongside the closely related Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan. But now VW says that it will indeed stop Routan production for good, The Detroit Bureau reports.
As of our report in March, VW hadn't built a single Routan in 2013, and we can't imagine things have gotten much better for the minivan since then. The Detroit Bureau reports that VW produced some 2014 Routans, but they aren't for sale to the public - they are fleet-only affairs.
VW originally intended to sell between 45,000 and 50,000 Routans per year, but since it was introduced for the 2009 model year, annual sales of the minivan have averaged only 11,500 units. VW has sold 57,683 Routans total.
