INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE VERY WELCOME THIS 1961 CHRYSLER NEWPORT FOUR-DOOR SEDAN IS PRETTY MUCH AS FOUND AFTER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 34 YEARS IN DEAD STORAGE IN A BUILDING WHICH HAD WOODEN FLOORS. NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CRANK THE ENGINE USING THE STARTER. THE ENGINE TURNED QUITE FREELY WHEN A SOCKET AND RATCHET EXTENSION WERE ATTACHED TO THE HARMONIC BALANCER. THE THREE-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED VIA A FLOOR-MOUNTED LEVER. THERE IS NOTHING WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT THIS CHRYSLER WAS CONVERTED TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION FROM AUTOMATIC. IT CLEARLY WAS BUILT AS A STANDARD SHIFT UNIT WITH MINIMAL EXTRA EQUIPMENT. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR A/C. THE CAR DOES HAVE POWER DRUM BRAKES. WE SUSPECT THAT THIS BRAKE BOOSTER MAY HAVE BEEN ADDED AFTER DELIVERY. THE UNIBODY HULL IS SOLID. YOU WILL NOTE A SMALL AREA OF RUST-THRU AROUND THE HEADLIGHT AREA OF THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER. THE SEATS AND DOOR PANELS ARE VERY PRESENTABLE. THEY SHOULD CLEAN UP NICELY. A NEW HEADLINER WILL BE NEEDED. FRONT BUMPER REALLY SHOULD BE RECHROMED. REAR BUMPER IS GOOD. TIRES HOLD AIR OK BUT ARE VERY OLD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE PEDAL CURRENTLY SINKS TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR ROLLS AND THERE SHOULD BE NO MAJOR ISSUE LOADING THIS CAREFULLY ONTO A TRAILER OR ROLL-BACK USING THE PARKING BRAKE AND MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO CONTROL THIS MOVEMENT. I HAVE A CLEAN CURRENT MINESOTA TITLE IN MY NAME. THIS TITLE SHOWS THE ACCUMULATED MILEAGE AS "NOT REQUIRED". CURRENT ODOMETER READING IS SOMEWHERE UNDER 50,000 MILES AND IS BELIEVED TO BE ACTUAL. THE CHRYLSER MAY BE SEEN IN OAKDALE, MINNESOTA BY APPOINTMENT. THANKS FOR VIEWING THIS LISTING.

Recharge Wrap-up: Storm Pulse EV touring motorcycle, Elio COO launches YoYo car subscription service

Wed, Jun 8 2016

The Eindhoven University of Technology in The Netherlands has created the Storm Pulse electric touring motorcycle. Its 28.5-kWh modular battery pack provides 236 miles of riding on a single charge. The batteries can be charged on a standard household outlet, and can be swapped out in a matter of minutes. The Storm Eindhoven team is raising money to take the prototype bike on a world tour this summer, covering 40,000 kilometers (24,855 miles) in 80 days, not just to show off the Pulse, but also to demonstrate the feasibility of electric mobility. Check it out in the video above, and read more at Technologic Vehicles. Chile is generating so much solar power that it is giving it away for free. Thanks to its well-developed solar infrastructure – which includes 29 solar farms with 15 more in the works – feeding its central grid (as well as problems distributing it to other parts of the country), the surplus means energy prices have dropped to zero in certain locales for well over a hundred days of the year. Chile is now trying to improve its transmission networks, though lack of revenue could slow future investment in solar power. Read more at Green Car Reports. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is reportedly talking to Uber Technologies about a possible partnership regarding driverless cars. Anonymous sources close to the matter have said that a venture could be announced by the end of 2016. Uber is also in talks with other automakers, according to one source. Having access to Uber's massive fleet of vehicles around the world provides large opportunities for gathering data and improving systems. Sources say Fiat has also been in contact with Amazon about autonomous delivery vehicles. Read more at Automotive News Europe.

Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power

Tue, 21 May 2013

A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.

Chrysler 200 configurator already online

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

A preliminary configurator for the 2015 Chrysler 200 is already up and greeting Internet visitors. The totally re-envisioned sedan that we got to know in our Deep Dive starts with an LX base trim for $22,695, which comes out to an MSRP of $21,700 plus $995 for destination. That number will get you entry to a party that comes with keyless entry, ambient LED lighting inside, a five-inch Uconnect touschcreen system with Bluetooth, a six-speaker stereo, eight-way power driver's seat, safety features like brake assist and an electronic parking brake and eighteen-inch wheels on all-season tires.
The features list isn't yet broken down by model, but including destination, the other three trims retail for $24,250 for the Limited, $25,990 for the S and $26,990 for the C. All-wheel drive adds $4,200 on the S and the C.
You can build an LX pretty quickly because there aren't many options. There are two interior choices, black or black/linen, five exterior color options, and just two choices after that: you can opt for the $495 five-inch Uconnect system that adds features like voice command and a rearview mirror with a microphone, and an engine block heater for $95.
