 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.

Best car infotainment systems of 2022

Wed, Jul 20 2022

Declaring one infotainment system the best over any other is an inherently subjective matter. You can look at quantitative testing for things like input response time and various screen load times, but ask a room full of people that have tried them all what their favorite is, and you’re likely to get a lot of different responses. Some prefer systems that are exclusively touch-based with a simplistic user interface. Others may prefer a non-touch system that is navigable via a scroll wheel. You can compare it to the phone operating system wars. Just like some folks prefer Android phones over iPhones, we all have our own opinions for what makes up the best infotainment interface. All that said, our combined experience tells us that a number of infotainment systems are at least better than the rest. WeÂ’ve narrowed it down to five total systems in their own subcategories that stand out to us. Read on below to see our picks, and feel free to make your own arguments in the comments. Best overall: UConnect — Various Stellantis products If thereÂ’s one infotainment system that all of us agree is excellent, itÂ’s UConnect. Both UConnect 4 and the latest UConnect 5 software are included in this praise, too. It has numerous qualities that make it great, but above all else, UConnect is simple and straightforward to use. Ease of operation is one of the most (if not the single most) vital parts of any infotainment system interface. If youÂ’re expected to be able to tap away on a touchscreen while driving and still pay attention to the road, a complex infotainment system is going to remove your attention from the number one task at hand: driving. UConnect uses a simple interface that puts all of your key functions in a clearly-represented row on the bottom of the screen. Tap any of them, and it instantly pulls up that menu. We like the radio/media interface — itÂ’s super easy to swap stations or sources. The menu structure is easy to grasp, and of course both Apple CarPlay/Android Auto are available if you want them. UConnect 5 is a big visual improvement over UConnect 4, but thankfully it retains the same ease of use as the outgoing system. WeÂ’ll also point out that Stellantis is able to adapt UConnect to different screen shapes and sizes with great success — it works stunningly well in the vertical 12-inch screen of the Ram.

2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.

North Carolina driver charged for flattening Trump sign

Thu, Mar 17 2016

Police in Wilmington, NC are investigating a viral video that shows a local man driving off the road to run over a Trump for President campaign sign. Julien Schuessler of Wilmington posted a video to Facebook on March 15 showing him driving his white Jeep off the road in a reckless manner to smash a Trump sign. He captioned the video, "I love having a Jeep sometimes." The video immediately went viral, reaching nearly a million views and 25,000 shares in less than twenty-four hours. Any elation Schuessler may have felt at having his video go viral was short lived, though. According to WWAY, Wilmington Police were tipped off to the existence of the video on the afternoon of March 16. They were, understandably, less than pleased. In an official tweet, WPD stated that they were aware of the video and were investigating. A spokesperson for the WPD stated that Schuessler faces multiple charges for his little stunt, including hit and run, reckless driving, and failure to maintain lane control. WWAY reached out to Schuessler for comment, but he has declined to respond.
