This is a beautiful example of a survivor 1962 Chrysler New Yorker. all original 413 V8, push-button shifted transmission, with power steering, power brakes, power seat, power windows, factory option Air conditioning, and more! Car has never been restored or rebuilt. Sellers have owned this car since approximately 1970. Car was always well maintained and garaged. unfortunately, due to declining health, the car had not been used or maintained for the last 6-7 yrs. I have been given the task of getting the car running and driving and selling it for them. They tell me that when the car was still being used EVERYTHING on the car worked, even the air conditioning! Of course, after setting for several years, there were some problems that came up. I will be as open and honest as I can be when describing the car. If there is anything that I miss or if you have any questions feel free to ask. Also, I will send more pics upon request.
I have gone over this car pretty well, it is now running nearly perfectly, no smoke or noises from the engine. The transmission works well, shifts smoothly into all gears. Car rides smooth as glass with no rattles or squeaks. The interior is in amazing condition for a car that is over 50 years old. The rear seat still has the plastic cover on it from the factory, the front seat plastic cover was just removed about 10 years ago. There are no tears and almost no wear signs on anything inside this car. Even the original radio works like new! The body is in great shape, again, considering it is 50+ years old. It looks like the top side of the car along with the sides of the fenders have been repainted at some point. There are a few small scratches and dings. There is almost no rust on this car. The ONLY rust that the car has, is a small spot on the bottom side of the rocker panels in front of both rear wheels, and a small spot on the bottom of one fender just behind the front wheel (when I say small, I mean aprox. 3in circle). I have been working on old cars and doing rust repair for 20 years, and can honestly say, if there is an easy rust repair, this is it!!! All rust is lower than the chrome trim (not under it), so paint work could be kept below the trim. The brakes will need some attention before the car is 100%. They do work fine, after they get warmed up. Before they are warm they grab badly. I cleaned and inspected the brakes and they look to have had an overhaul recently, so I just cleaned and reassembled them, but they still grab. A new set of shoes should solve the problem. I also replaced all of the rubber brake lines. The tires are coker classics, new in 2004, they looks new, they show absolutely no signs of age or wear at all, only had to put in 5-10psi after they had sat for 6-7 years!
Just to be clear. I have only done what was needed to get the car back to running and mobile. I have driven the car down the road with no problems, but I am not saying that it is perfect and ready for a road trip.
list of what I have done
new battery, starter rebuilt, fuel system cleaned, carburetor rebuilt, fuel filter, oil and filter change, brakes cleaned and rubber hoses replaced, cleaned ignition points
complete list of known problems
brakes grab till warm, dome light only works with rear doors, air conditioning not working, right rear power window not working (closed and wont open), temp and fuel gauges not working.

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
Jeep Wrangler 4xe's hybrid powertrain: Could it be headed to other FCA products?
Fri, Sep 4 2020On its own, the 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid is a big deal for the brand and the model line. It's the most powerful and most efficient Wrangler by significant margins, and it doesn't give up the off-road capability that makes the Wrangler so special. But another great thing about this hybrid powertrain is its potential to be transplanted into other FCA vehicles. Just to recap, the layout of the Wrangler's hybrid powertrain, front to back, is as follows: engine, clutch, electric motor, clutch, transmission. The engine is the same 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder that's a standalone engine for the Wrangler. The transmission and electric motor are sort of one unit, with the motor and clutch replacing the torque converter of the transmission. And the transmission itself is the ubiquitous eight-speed ZF automatic gearbox. Its transmission code name is 8HP75PH. The ZF eight-speed is available in every FCA product with a longitudinally-mounted engine and rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive, with variations in the amount of power and torque it can handle. Not only that, but the Ram 1500 and 2500 and the Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator all have powertrains that utilize the non-hybrid version of the 8HP75 transmission specifically. Even the gear ratios for that transmission as well as the 8HP70 used in the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 are nearly identical to those in the 8HP75PH. And a Fiat-Chrysler representative confirmed that the transmission portion of the hybrid drivetrain is basically carry-over from the regular 8HP75. So a transplant could be a relatively simple process. As for which of these models would be the most likely to receive the hybrid powertrain first, the Jeep Gladiator and Ram 1500 would seem like good bets, since they likely have the most similar transmissions, and the Gladiator in particular because of its closely-related underpinnings to the Wrangler. Both are also highly profitable trucks that sell well and could justify the development costs of adapting another powertrain. And in the case of the Ram, there's the impending F-150 hybrid to think about. Although Ram isn't going after a fully electric model, a PHEV could be a nice middle ground. A potential limiting factor would be whether the hybrid powertrain would be sufficiently robust to handle heavy payload and towing demands, particularly over longer periods.
FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016
Wed, Sep 2 2015Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.
