 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.

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.

FCA under investigation for fraud by FBI, SEC, and DOJ

Tue, Jul 19 2016

The US Justice Department is currently in the initial stages of investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles for fraud, according to two anonymous sources that spoke with Bloomberg. According to the unnamed sources, prosecutors are examining whether FCA violated US securities laws. As part of a coordinated investigation into FCA's sales reporting practices, investigators from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Securities and Exchange Commission visited the automaker's field staff in their offices and homes earlier this month, reports Automotive News. According to an anonymous source that spoke to Automotive News, federal staff attorneys visited FCA's US headquarters in Auburn Hills, MI on July 11. The unnamed source told the outlet that employees were advised to seek counsel before speaking with investigators. Investigators also visited the automaker's offices in Dallas, California, and Orlando, the unnamed source told Automotive News. The investigation comes after FCA claimed it had recorded the best month of sales in the US in the automaker's history in December with a total of 217,527 vehicles sold, reports Bloomberg. The claim now seems untrustworthy. According to a previous report from Automotive News, a Chicago-based dealership group filed a lawsuit against FCA earlier this year. The suit accused the automaker of paying dealers to fake new-vehicle sales. At the time, the automaker claimed the allegations were baseless and had no merit. After the lawsuit, FCA started to add an extended disclaimed at the end of its monthly sales reports, according to Automotive News. In a statement, FCA claimed that the automaker is cooperating with the SEC investigation and pointed out that it records "revenues based on shipments to dealers and customers, not on reported vehicle unit sales to end customers." We'll have more on the investigation as it unfolds.

UAW workers in Indiana, Stellantis reach tentative deal to end strike

Mon, Sep 12 2022

United Auto Workers union members who went on strike Saturday at the Stellantis casting plant in Indiana have reached a tentative deal with the company. The UAW Local 1166 bargaining committee announced a tentative agreement in a blog post, saying that a ratification vote would be held Monday. Stellantis confirmed the tentative deal Monday. The strike was related to health and safety issues, including the company’s alleged refusal to repair and replace the plantÂ’s air conditioning and heating systems. The 35-acre plant in Kokomo makes parts used in the power trains of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles. The 1,200-worker plant, Kokomo Casting, is the worldÂ’s largest die cast facility, according to Stellantis. In May, Stellantis announced a $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung to build an electric vehicle battery factory in Kokomo that is to employ 1,400 workers. Stellantis, created last year through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot, had said it would build two electric vehicle battery factories in North America. The other is slated for Windsor, Ontario. Plants/Manufacturing UAW/Unions Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM
