|
Runs, drives, stops, clean title. 1966 New Yorker two door hard top, 118,000 miles.
Sold new in Los Angles, and was there until 2002 when it was bought to Wisconsin as a summer vehicle by a local collector. He summered the car until 2010 when the reverse band broke in the transmission and he put the car into storage. I bought the car from him in 2012 and put it in my garage and began working on it. Life got in the way and I didn't work on it as much I had planned. There it sat until a few months ago when I focused on it and got it back on the road. So long story short, it spent most of it's life in Cali, and came to Wisconsin and was cared for. It's never been driven in winter and subject to road salt. It wasn't sitting in someones yard or field rotting away. It still has the factory brake lines on it, and they are perfect. The brake line fittings came off with open ended wrenches. Ivory paint with black leather, bucket seats with fold down arm rest, power drivers seat, power windows, Air Conditioning, tinted glass, dual exhaust, power drum brakes, AM radio, 350 horsepower 440 cubic inch motor, 4 barrel carb, 727 Torqueflight automatic trans, 14 inch wheels with new tires Solid California car. Still has most of the factory under coating still on it. Solid floors. Solid trunk. Solid rockers. Solid doors. One small rust hole behind one of the fender skirts, another small hole on the inside behind the rear wheel well. They don't get much more solid than this. The pictures show it missing two pieces of trim, I have those two pieces. Was told by the previous owner that he had the heads redone and hardened valve seats installed. I have done the following repairs: Rebuilt the transmission, New front and rear brakes (New drums, shoes, hardware, wheel cylinders, hoses, adjusters) New front and rear shocks New front wheel bearings New rear axle bearings New axle housing end (bearing failed and wrecked the housing end) New upper ball joints, control arm bushings, bump stops New inner and outer tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm New wheel studs on the left side of the car (all wheel studs are now right hand thread) New lower ball joints and lower bump stops New motor mounts New dipstick and tube New master cylinder (replaced the original single piston MC with a 1967 Chrysler dual piston MC) New spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor New battery Had it aligned after I did all the front end work New R134a compatible AC Compressor, new receiver/drier, car was missing a couple lines when I got it and I am having those made now, as soon as I get them the system, will be hooked up and charged with freon. A lot of extra parts including a bunch of NOS Chrysler parts included. New custom door panels Drivers seat recovered and re-padded Rear seat bottom recovered and re-padded. Passenger rear window doesn't work, it needs a motor. Headliner is perfect Dash pad is perfect Mechanically it is 9.5/10 Interior is 9/10 Body is 8.5/10 Paint is 7/10 A great car with tons of potential to be a stunning car; or rock it as it is. it's not the project that so many old cars turn into. I've done all that. It's all there. You can get in it and start enjoying it right away. I have too many toys and not enough space. I am driving the car so the mileage will go up. I spent all day yesterday washing it and waxing it. It shined up real nice! I also cleaned up the dash and vacuumed the carpets. I will get some new pictures and post them tomorrow when it stops raining. |

This 1958 Chrysler Imperial Ultra 7 Pointer 1 is Japan's Batmobile
Sun, 02 Mar 2014It might be sacrilegious to admit among some auto enthusiasts, but there's more to driving than performance and speed. Sometimes it can be a matter of love, as it is for Yasushi Shiroi, who has spent the last 21 years building a faithful replica of a car from a '60s Japanese sci-fi show.
Shiroi's car is the star of the latest video from The Aficionauto and it's truly a labor of love. This machine, which is sort of like a Japanese Batmobile, is based on a 1958 Chrysler Imperial and is designed to recreate a car called the Pointer 1 from the series Ultra 7. The latter was apparently hugely popular when it ran in Japan in 1967 and 1968, and told the story a seven-member team that fought off aliens attacking Earth. While the car in the series never actually ran, Shiroi wanted one that would.
The Pointer 1 has been in constant development since Shiroi has owned it. All of the body modifications have been done in steel, but mechanically, it remains something of a mess. This replica might be slow - and to many people, ugly - but it has brought its owner about as much happiness as a car can, and that's something worth celebrating. Scroll down to check it out.
Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool
Thu, Sep 3 2015Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.
Chrysler de Mexico to sell rebadged Mitsubishi model in shades of Colt deal
Wed, 02 Jul 2014Chrysler and Mitsubishi have had a close relationship since the early '70s. Back then, they partnered up to sell the Japanese brand's models under American names as captive imports in the US. Vehicles like the Dodge Colt, Eagle Summit, and eventually the 3000GT/Stealth twins and lots of other cars and trucks became the fruits of that alliance. In fact, the two companies still maintain a good rapport, as evidenced by reports of a new deal to sell the Mitsubishi Attrage, also known the Mirage G4, in Mexico starting in November.
The Attrage is a small, four-door sedan that borrows many of the mechanical bits from the Mitsubishi Mirage hatchback. According to Automotive News, the deal allows Chrysler to sell the model in Mexico for the next five years. The deal could be a win-win for both companies. Mitsubishi gets to use more capacity at its Laem Chabang, Thailand factory where the car is made, and Chrysler gets a new vehicle for a growing market with almost zero development costs. At this time, there's no indication of the new model's name in Mexico, though.
There's also still a chance the Attrage might make it to the US market as well. The automaker showed off the sedan as the Mirage G4 at the 2014 Montreal Motor Show ahead of promised sales in small-car-friendly Canada. The Mirage hatchback was introduced to the US in a similar way, debuting in Canada first and then crossing the border. While reviews for the Mirage have been pretty atrocious, it would still be interesting to see Mitsubishi further expanding its lineup in North America.
