 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.

Merged Fiat-Chrysler HQ will be in London

Fri, 09 May 2014

You won't be seeing Sergio Marchionne in his famous sweaters running day-to-day operations of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles from Michigan. Although, he won't be doing it from Italy, either. The FCA CEO recently announced that the company's corporate headquarters would be located in London.
"Headquarters will be in London. It's clear that group executive functions, the board, my office, some of my functions, need to operate out of London, but that doesn't mean that I'm giving up my operational responsibilities of the US," said Marchionne to Automotive News at a press conference.
When the creation of FCA was announced, the company said its tax domicile would be in the United Kingdom. But it gave no specific location at that time. The business is still keeping most of the details under wraps.

Poor Chrysler 200 sales blamed for 1,420 layoffs in Sterling Heights

Wed, Apr 6 2016

FCA will indefinitely lay off a total of 1,420 workers from its Sterling Heights Assembly and Stamping plants on July 5, according to The Detroit News. This decision will cut a 1,300-person shift that builds the Chrysler 200, and it will also affect 120 people who stamp the sedan's components. The company's statement said the decision would "better align production with demand." FCA plans to give these folks open full-time positions as they become available. Chrysler 200 sales are down 63 percent to just under 18,000 units so far in 2016. After the cuts, there will still be one shift to build the 200, but even then the model won't have much of a future. In January, CEO Sergio Marchionne announced that FCA would discontinue production of the 200 and Dodge Dart because customers were no longer interested in small sedans. All of the roughly 3,000 hourly workers at Sterling Heights have been on a temporary layoff since February 1, according to The Detroit News. They don't go back to work until next week. United Auto Workers Vice President Norwood Jewell released a statement saying that while the "shift reduction at Sterling Heights Assembly is unfortunate, it is not unexpected." However, he was fairly upbeat about the cuts because FCA plans to increase production capacity for trucks and SUVs. "I believe that in the long term this move will be a positive one for our members and the company," he said. During last year's labor negotiations, the UAW's deal reportedly included an agreement for FCA to move 200 and Dodge Dart production to Toluca, Mexico, but the company promised to build the Ram 1500 at Sterling Heights Assembly. FCA spokesperson Jodi Tinson gave no comment about future vehicles at the factory when asked by Autoblog. Related Video: Statement Regarding Indefinite Layoffs at SHAP In order to better align production with demand at its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, FCA US notified the State of Michigan, the City of Sterling Heights and the UAW today that it intends to return the plant to a one shift operation, beginning July 5. The Company will place indefinitely laid off employees in open full-time positions as they become available within the Detroit labor market based on seniority. A Statement from UAW Vice President Norwood Jewell on FCA Announcement about Sterling Heights Assembly: While today's announcement of a shift reduction at Sterling Heights Assembly is unfortunate, it is not unexpected.

Fiat Chrysler, GM are trying 7-year 0% loans, online buying to lift plunging sales

Thu, Apr 2 2020

With auto showrooms shut during the coronavirus pandemic, Fiat Chrysler and General Motors moved to reboot demand with seven-year, no-interest loans and programs allowing customers to buy vehicles online. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles' new "Drive Forward" marketing program includes online shopping tools that will for the first time allow U.S. customers to complete the purchase of a vehicle through an FCA dealer without setting foot in a dealership, a company spokesman said. The move toward online sales and home delivery breaks with a long U.S. auto sector tradition of manufacturers giving franchised dealers control of sales to consumers. Dealers have fought Tesla 's efforts to sell vehicles directly to consumers through its website. GM and Fiat Chrysler's promotions of extended, no-interest loans — made less costly by the Federal Reserve's recent interest rate cuts — echo the "Keep America Rolling" sales push GM launched to jump start a paralyzed consumer market after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. But the pandemic has been pulling auto retailing into the digital age, with dealerships shuttered across the country and sales likely to take a further beating in April as social distancing guidelines remain in place.   Related: Auto sales drop in March as coronavirus hits demand, output   FCA shares were down 4.9% to $6.84 in afternoon trading in New York after the company posted a 10% drop in first-quarter U.S. auto sales, as the pandemic hurt demand and halted production from mid-March. The company, however, did not break out sales by month. General Motors reported its first-quarter sales fell 7% because of significant declines in March, and said customers can use its existing "Shop.Click.Drive." program to find, purchase and arrange for home delivery of a vehicle. A GM spokeswoman said across the Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac brands the automaker has seen two to four times greater online site visits and sales leads than before the pandemic. Hyundai said earlier that its U.S. sales fell 43% in March due to the pandemic. "It goes without saying that the entire world is facing a tremendous challenge that is having a significant impact on business and our normal way of life," Randy Parker, vice president for sales at Hyundai Motor America, said in a statement. Toyota said its sales were down nearly 37% in March and 8.8% for the quarter. Nissan reported a 27% drop in first-quarter sales.
