 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.

Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.

2022 Chrysler Pacifica gets price hike, starts at $38,160

Thu, Sep 30 2021

Mopar Insiders says its Chrysler dealer contacts gave the outlet a glimpse at what's coming for the 2022 model year. The most important change to the Pacifica range — we're not including the Voyager and Pacifica Hybrid in this — is the addition of a front-wheel-drive model to the penultimate Limited and top Pinnacle trims. Both are available only with all-wheel drive at the moment, so the change will lower their MSRPs when next year's models arrive on lots. There are a few price increases, however, so the savings won't be as large as one might wish. Pricing for the range based on info from MI's dealer sources, including the $1,495 destination charge, and the increase compared to 2021, is: Pacifica Touring: $38,160 ($845) Pacifica Touring L: $41,785 ($1,170) Pacifica Touring L AWD: $44,780 ($1,170) Pacifica Limited FWD: $49,815 (new for 2022, $495 less expensive than the 2021 Limited AWD) Pacifica Limited AWD: $52,410 ($2,100) Pacifica Pinnacle FWD: $54,270 (new for 2022, $1,320 less expensive than the 2021 Pinnacle AWD) Pacifica Pinnacle AWD: $56,865 ($1,275) Across the range, all the minivans get a rear seat reminder safety alert and the Stellantis Clean Air Filtration System that acts like the minivan's wearing an N95 mask, capturing 95% of particulates in the air including bacteria, allergens, and pollen. Looks like Chrysler's going to start charging for certain exterior colors on a reduced palette. There are ten colors now, all of which are free. Next year there will be seven, and only Bright White, Brilliant Black, and Ceramic Grey will be no charge. Granite Crystal and the new Silver Mist, which replaces Billet Silver, will cost $95. And Fathom Blue and Velvet Red will cost $395.  The entry-level Touring pulls the opposite trick from the Limited and Pinnacle, losing its AWD option. Driving the rear axle cost an extra $2,995 on this trim, perhaps why Chrysler said only 2% of Touring buyers chose the option this year. Next year's Touring gets the Cold Weather Group, with features like heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, as standard equipment. That option cost $495 this year and its inclusion might be responsible for the trim's price increase.  The Touring L gets the makes this year's optional $995 Safety Sphere Group standard equipment for next year. That installs features like ParkSense for front, parallel, and perpendicular parking, and a 360-degree surround view camera.

Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules

Sun, 24 Aug 2014

Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
