Before I begin I would encourage all serious buyers to contact me directly at: 517-425-0129. Although this is a 7 day auction I reserve the right to end early. You are bidding on a unique one family owned Chrysler Newport.

Well documented survivor, original bill of sale, some neat memorabilia such as; old road maps, trip log from the mid 60's outlining vacations, sights seen, etc. Car came with a homemade emergency kit with a vintage flashlight, whisk broom etc. I’ve included pics. Also note in the pics the original owners wool blanket neatly folded in the rear seat which was used to keep the kids warm on those long road trips. All in all a true low mile survivor car, the last of the classic finned cars, tons of chrome, a very unique piece of motoring history. Description as follows:

Mechanical:
* original and correct 361 V-8 Golden Lion
* engine compartment has been detailed nicely
* unique bush button automatic trans, all controls in this model were operated by push button, kind of a cool feature
* factory single exhaust, new from muffler back
* original bias ply tires have been replaced with radial wide white wall
* red steelie wheels with chrome center cap, love the look, but I do have the original full hubcaps if desired.
* power steering, manual brakes
* new shocks
* new radial tires
* new brakes at all four corners
* new wheel cylinders all four corners
* new battery
* fresh oil and filter
* fresh coolant flush, radiator cap, thermostat
* complete tune up
* all new belts and hoses
* new valve cover gaskets

Interior:
* factory red and plaid two tone
* factory rubber mat/ carpet delete
* small wear area on driver’s seat
* very cool 3D style domed dash surround
* working original AM/FM radio
* I believe most if not all of the interior is original and in very nice condition.

Exterior:
* still retains its original paint color ; code W Alaskan White
* much of car appears to be original paint
* very nice original chrome and stainless
* excellent glass throughout
* solid car , all original panels
* nicely finished trunk area
* one seam in trunk has been repaired, remainder is solid
* all weather strip still appears original and while not new, still in usable condition
* clean original underside, no patches , no repairs
* some misc. nicks and chips have been touched up over the years, by no means a freshly restored car, but certainly a well preserved car.

To summarize, please take the time to review all the pics and don’t hesitate to call with further questions. 517-425-0129. This is a great opportunity to own a part of Chrysler history and while not considered a "main stream" muscle car, part of the appeal to me is the uniqueness of this car and perhaps a little touch of "dare to be different". At the very least, this will probably be the only one like it at the next car show or cruise in and always garners a lot of attention. I also have contact with a reasonable shipping company and would be glad to assist. Vehicle offered by a licensed MI dealer.

The 2017 Pacifica Hybrid is finally heading to dealers after delays

Wed, Apr 19 2017

Did you order a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid some time ago? Chances are you might be getting it soon-ish. Production of the hybrid Pacificas started way back in December, but for an undisclosed reason FCA chose not to ship the finished cars to dealers. It hints of a hitch somewhere in the production, but perhaps it's best for the manufacturer to get the cars right the first time rather than face customer wrath. Detroit Free Press says the minivans started shipping to dealers on Monday, after months of delays, and that there have been 700 orders for the Pacifica Hybrid by April 7th. As a FCA representative said to DFP: "As with all launches, but particularly in the case of this technically advanced vehicle, we are taking great care to ensure that the Pacifica Hybrid comes off the line with the highest quality possible. We will only introduce a vehicle when we are fully satisfied the vehicle meets or exceeds customer expectations." FCA hasn't disclosed how many of the delayed hybrids have been shipped. Any customer who has ordered a Pacifica Hybrid before March 30 th is eligible for either a Visa gift card worth $500 or a 240-volt Level 2 charger, which should charge the van's li-ion batteries in two hours. The Pacifica Hybrid is the first plug-in hybrid vehicle in its class, and it reportedly has a range of 566 miles, returning 84 mpg.

Ram confirms Fiat Ducato vans to form new Promaster series for US

Wed, 28 Nov 2012

Chrysler has officially confirmed that Ram will develop an all-new large van for the US market based on the Fiat Ducato. The commercial rig will go on sale in the third quarter of next year, joining the Ram C/V on the company's professional van line. Expect to see the Promaster face off against the Ford Transit and revised Chevrolet Express.
Chrysler is pretty skimpy on details when it comes to the Promaster, but it has said the vehicle will make use of "familiar Ram Truck styling cues." The van will reportedly also bow with powertrains targeted specifically at the North American market.
Chrysler and Ram made the announcement ahead of the LA Auto Show alongside news that the company will launch a new Ram commercial truck division.
