GENERAL:

Very nice original 1962 Chrysler New Yorker.

While not considered a "classic", this vehicle is still a great looking car of the care-free early sixties.  Her name is Ethyl (though you can rename her).

Vehicle has been owned by me and garage stored (covered) for the last 7 years.

This was a running and driving car with working everything when I last used it. But that was a while ago.  I haven't started the engine in a few years. So the only thing wrong with the car would be time and lack of use.

Please review the pictures. Contact me with any or all questions and I will try to answer them.


EXTERIOR:

The car has no visible rust. There are a few small bubble spots. Also some flaking/rub areas were the paint is off from the metal.

Paint is Rosewood (taupey pink color).  The paint on the sides of the vehicle is in better shape than the top surfaces.  The hood and trunk surfaces have had the paint marred.  It is cloudy and scratched up.  It looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing took an orbital polisher to the surface.

This is a very solid car.  All trim is present. All doors, hood and trunk panels fit well and close tight.

The Chrysler New Yorker emblem in the front grill is missing.  Reproduction emblems can be ordered online.

Radio antenna has been removed/broken (?) off.  But is still with vehicle and fits back on the exterior mount.

Rear Glass has been previously replaced.


 INTERIOR:

The interior is in overall good shape but upholstery needs cleaning. Of coarse smells musty due to age. There is one tear w/ tape on it on the drivers seat back cushion at the bottom. 

Headliner has holes: middle by sun visors, by passenger side front and rear, and in the rear back on both sides. Carpet has the normal wear and tear and looks like it has properly been replaced.

Dash/Odometer has the clear dome panel..Pushbutton Transmission Gears.  All switches and buttons are present and working.


ENGINE:

Engine is a 413.  The times I've run it, it wants to go like a bat out of hell.

I never did any work on the engine and can't tell you much about it.

Battery should have been disconnected, but was not.


 CONCERNS:

Tires: Probably need replacement. I'm not sure how old they are.  They went flat from sitting, but when filled they hold the air again.

Exhaust: The exhaust has a plastic/rubber tube in place of an exhaust pipe.

Fuel:  The previous owner was out of gas to show/run the vehicle, so he put some mix (oil/gas) in instead.  Vehicle exhausted black smoke.  The fuel tank would probably need to be drained/cleaned. 


EXTRAS:

There are several spare parts in a box.

There are two rear taillight lenses and one taillight chrome bracket trim.

2 Chrome trim pieces - not really sure where they go.

Carpet fabric for trunk.

Extra chrome vent strips.

FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger

Wed, Dec 18 2019

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann — who will chair the new group — said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.

Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."

Dodge offering novel 1-year lease on '14 Challenger and Charger models

Mon, 14 Apr 2014

Dodge is just days away from unveiling refreshed versions of the Charger and Challenger at the 2014 New York Auto Show, models promising updated styling and new powertrain options. Depending on how you look at it, the company is either so confident in its forthcoming 2015 models that it's offering an interesting Double-Up lease deal on the current vehicles, or it's so eager to clear out existing stock that it's resorting to novel lease deals. In any case, what they present is an interesting scenario, one which allows buyers to get the existing model right now, and then trade up to the facelifted 2015 models in one year.
Starting April 17, when the refreshed cars debut through the end of August, buyers can lease a 2014 Charger or Challenger for one year and exchange it for a three-year lease on a 2015 model next year, with no additional money down and the same monthly payment. Customers can even switch vehicles when the new lease starts. If drivers want to buy the '15, they get $1,000 off the purchase price. To be eligible, both leases must use the same dealership and be financed through Chrysler Capital. The Double-Up deal excludes the SRT versions of both cars and Charger SE models.
To offset the flood of one-year-old models coming back to dealerships, Dodge has struck a deal with rental car agency Enterprise, which has agreed to buy them all. "One-year leases are highly unusual in the industry," said company spokesperson Ralph Kisiel, and the fleet sale deal is what makes it possible.
