I am selling my ultra rare 1961 Chrysler Newport 2 door coupe. The car received a body up restoration 12 years ago and was driven only a very few miles since, then was garaged with the door down.I recently pulled it out of long storage (3 years) and now it needs to go to someone who will enjoy it and use it as she deserves.

This model is almost impossible to find anymore, and the 300 versions are going well over the 40K mark now. These are the identical same car to the 300, just with minor side trim differences and grill. The previous owner I bought it from added the highly desirable 'cross ram' induction set up (dual carbs) to the stock 361 V8. Now the bonus with this car is it now has the 300 bucket seats instead of the factory bench seat. Now I have had some folks tell me it may be the 413 motor which the 300's had, but I do not know how to confirm this?

The original carbs are long gone & have been replaced with more reliable & efficient Edelbrock 600cfm carbs. But other than that, she retains all the original parts. It has the infamous push button automatic changer on the left side of the dash mated to the indestructible 727 Torque Flight auto. It is complemented with these 17" chrome wheels with 275x55x17 rears with 235x55x17 fronts. These were factory drum brake cars as was the 300. I do not have the original wheels or caps. This is how I bought the car.

As you can see, it has a gorgeous metallic silver paint (originally red?) and laser straight all over. The bumpers still look & shine like new and are just perfect, as is ALL the glass, which this car has a LOT of! The interior was redone in a classic white tuck & roll style with new black carpeting, which looks marvelous against the outer paint & chrome wheels.

The car runs & drives just fine, but after sitting so long, I noticed recently it has developed a few minor issues which I have not got the time or energy to do. Simple things like the front/rear turn signals aren't flashing anymore, the 'Astrodome' speedometer has stopped working and it's gauges, yet the under dash gauges are working, so probably a short? So nothing major that could not be fixed in a day, as these were all working once.

Bottom line here is that you will have one of the rarest & most beautifully designed cars out there. You will NEVER see one at a show or for sale, you will have EVERYBODY ask you what is it? and ultimately, be the proud owner of the last year of Virgil M. Exner's forward look finned Mopars! (57-61)

Now remembering...there were only 1200 '300' coupes made for 1961 and 9405 of these Newport coupes. How many are left today...?

Fiat board makes Chrysler merger official, approves $5.4B bond sale

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

Fiat's board of directors has officially approved the merger plan that will see the conglomerate's automotive operations merged with Chrysler into the new Fiat Chrysler Automobiles.
The plan essentially provides a road map for the structure of the new company. It includes provisions for Fiat shareholders - one Fiat share will translate to one share of FCA common stock. The new company will also include a loyalty voting structure, which will provide for shareholders of Fiat stock or those that have held FCA stock for at least three years. According to the plan, these shareholders would see their voting power double, with two votes for every share of FCA's common stock. The overall merger plan still needs to be approved by the company's shareholders.
In other Fiat-related news, the company's board has announced a bond issuance of four billion euro ($5.4 billion). The new bonds should provide the company with a degree of flexibility in refinancing debts associated with the merger plan.

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average

Tue, 11 Jun 2013

We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
