1966 Chrysler 300 4 Door Very Nice Daily Driver Excellent Shape on 2040-cars

A fun reliable strong running car with only a few of the usual suspects with these old cars. New brakes 2000 milers ago which included new master cylinder, front and rear wheel cylinders, shoes all the way around. New plugs and points and tune up 200 miles ago. The thing runs great. Starts up first thing in the cold morning - automatic choke works great. When I bought the car it had an aftermarket air cleaner on it. The previous owner had the seats reupholstered in a very tasteful almost period looking fabric and vinyl. ZERO rust anywhere on the car. I believe it spent most of its life in Oklahoma and California before coming to New Mexico. One repaint that now has some areas of clearcoat peeling mostly on the hood and top of drivers rear fender. Tires have plenty of life left. No crash damage or dents. Some mile peppering to chrome taillights. Trunk area very nice with no stains to carpet. Non smoker car apparently most of its life. All glass is in great shape. Nothing is leaking and oil always looks clean. Dash has two splits - one on binnacle and other by speaker grill. Steering wheel has a few splits. The steering is telescopic and works great.
OK - the things that need work - drivers side rear window does not operate. The front windows roll down quickly and nicely. The passenger rear is slow and occasionally needs assistance. The air conditioner does not blow cold. The headliner seam over the rear seat has a blown seam - safety pins keep it up. Some door seals are well worn. Odometer stopped working the day I bought it making tons of noise then "pop" and all silent which is common for these cars - this is my third and they all have failed on me. Fortunately the title says actual miles and if you get the plastic replacement gear you can continue logging miles on future title exchanges. I'm sure there are some minor things I'm forgetting and will update as I remember but this car has been great. It doesnt smoke and pulls strong. I trust the car to cross the country so if you want to fly in and drive home it is completely reliable. However, being an old car, I recommend a AAA membership and will not guarantee that something won't blow up down the road. Sold as-is where is and I will work with your shipper to get it loaded and document the process with photographs. I just moved and don't have a garage for this car and hate to see it sitting outside gathering dust in our dry new mexico dustiness. I just bought another 4x4 toy and that is more appropriate for sitting outside. |

Mopar updates owner apps to make car ownership easier
Wed, Jun 3 2015Owners of any Fiat Chrysler vehicle will want to head to the Apple App or Google Play store to download the latest version of their brand-specific smartphone app. Developed by Mopar, the new suite of FCA Owner apps specific to each brand pack a number of valuable features. For starters, the apps let owners access information like maintenance schedules, service history and recall notices. The apps also include an array of how-to information and instructional videos, offer push notification for important updates like maintenance offers and recall alerts, and allow customers to schedule test drives and receive quotes from their local dealers for new vehicles.

There's a Parking Reminder feature that helps drivers remember where they parked their car, guides them back to their parking spot and tracks the time left on the meter. Finally, there's an Accident Assistant feature that helps drivers record the specifics of an accident, upload insurance information and take photos of the scene. It'll even help find the closest certified collision repair facility, schedule an appointment and access roadside assistance. The apps are available for any Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, Fiat or Alfa Romeo built from 2011 till today, and are available for either iOS or Android.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains
Wed, 21 May 2014If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.
Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture
Fri, 01 Nov 2013There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.
