When I got this car from a neighboring farmer it had died in his field. I was going to part it out for another Chrysler but when I got it home a friend who restores cars insisted that I switch plans and fix this car instead. To get back to a driver I had to rebuild everything I touched. The original 361 was toast. I received a Dodge Charger 383 which I rebuilt and modified to fit and bolt up to the Newport. With a fine road worthy car I started using it in the mid 80's as my family car. The original paint and upholstery were good enough once I put saddle blanket seat covers on the front and back seats. There is some rust around the trunk lid though it never has been an issue in the uses of the car. The radio was gone when I got it so I installed a CD player. You may not be interested, but I do have a 1961 Chrysler Windsor that can be made available as a parts car for this car. It has a radio. I had to search the world to eventually find brand new tail light lenses in Australia. In the past I used the car to cruse around our very rural valley or go on 350 mile trips to my parent's farm or to our big town (Reno) to get supplies. The car has a type of power assist brakes, a push button Torque flight transmission, AFB Carburetor, tinted windows, "Dashmat" dash cover of a sun damaged padded dash, owner installed carpeted floors. The dash lights work part of the time which I have found means a dirty ground on the power inverter under the dash. I would not be concerned about driving it away as is. I have a fleet of running/licensed old cars ranging back to the 30's and simply can not drive them all enough to justify keeping the Newport any longer. I have loved this car and it's service.

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.

Fiat Chrysler's third-quarter operating profit exceeds expectations

Thu, Oct 31 2019

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler on Thursday posted higher than expected operating earnings in the third quarter, lifted by record profitability in North America, as the carmaker heads to a merger with French rival PSA. The strong results led Fiat Chrysler (FCA) to reiterate its full-year guidance of adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) over 6.7 billion euros ($7.5 billion). It also expects a further improvement of its financial performance in 2020. FCA and PSA said earlier on Thursday they planned to join forces through a 50-50 share swap to create the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker, triggering a new wave of consolidation in the car industry.

Autoblog Minute: Marchionne seems prepared to lead FCA in takeover of GM

Fri, Sep 4 2015

FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne wants industry consolidation but without any deal takers it seems as though he's ready to consider a hostile takeover. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute with commentary from Autoblog editor-in-chief Mike Austin. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] It's no secret that FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne wants industry consolidation but without any deal takers it seems as though he's ready to consider a hostile takeover. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. Marchionne is tired of waiting for the industry to get on board with his consolidation plan. In an interview with Automotive News Marchionne was quoted as saying, "it would be unconscionable not to force a partner." And when pushed further about the nature of any potential takeover plan the FCA chief had this to say: "Not hostile. There are varying degrees of hugs. I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you. Everything starts with physical contact. Then it can degrade, but it starts with physical contact." Metaphor aside, Marchionne suggests his numbers for a GM-FCA merger are irrefutable, pointing to potential global earnings of a 30 billion dollars. Without a merger deal on the horizon we have to wonder if an FCA takeover of GM even possible. For more we go to Autoblog's Mike Austin: [Mike Austin Interview] Marchionne says GM won't take his phone calls, and while he admits a merger with GM would be a hard road to haul it's one he's still determined to travel. We'll continue to monitor the story as it develops. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw. Autoblog Minute is a short-form video news series reporting on all things automotive.
