1967 Chrysler New Yorker Garage Kept Two Owner Rock Solid Coupe on 2040-cars
Wallkill, New York, United States
Here we have a 1967 new yorker that I purchased from a past neighbor of mine.I remember this car when I was a kid growing up. Bob is 81 now and getting his affairs in order, none of his kids want the old clunker and bob knowing that I have a love affair with vintage cars contacted me to see if I was interested in her.I went to his house and sure enough there it sits.Bob tells me that he is the second owner and the miles that are on the odometer are true miles and not turned over but there is no proof . Bob has always kept it registered and insured but has not used it in a few years.truth be told, I purchased this car for the sole purpose of making a profit. My love affair is with 50's cars [I have two] and prewar packards.This garage kept chrysler has no rot and I don't believe it ever did but it does have some small bubbling under the vinyl top on the drivers side that I will show in some pictures.There is none around the rear window.The car has been repainted for reasons unknown and the drivers door has a small area of previous body work-vinyl top is still in great condition-britework is still pleasing to the eye.interior is very nice with wear on the drivers seat as well as the rear seat that I will show in some pictures.The headliner is excellent with no tears or sag and the dash has some cracks and splits. The steering wheel is fine with no splits. factory radio unfortunately has been replaced . Original wheels and hubcaps M.I.A . Now if I were to keep this I would go thru this front to back-pull the wheels and redo brakes/wheel cylinders/repack wheel bearings/change brake lines/hoses/ all belts/coolant hoses/ fuel lines/ tune up/ inspect rear axle bearings/ujoints/ transmission flush and filter change/flush radiator with a new thermostat/flush power steering system/ grease every fitting/ inspect water pump/ etc etc. If your looking to get into a vintage car cheaply this might be you.Now for all you folks that ask me if I think the car will make it to your destination if you decide to fly in and drive it home my answer is your nut's-I did that once when I purchased an old lincoln from the carlise pa fall swap meet. since i was only 235 miles away I chanced it since the car was in excellent shape with low miles. well about 100 miles into the trip the car started to backfire under load-I did make it home but swore I would never do that again.plan on trailering this please!! I took the car for a short ride and the car goes down the road nicely-it is cold blooded and needs to warm up,but once it is ready to go it runs nice/shifts/stops nicely and goes down the road straight. This car needs to be used and it still needs some odds and ends such as the rear windows don't go down but the motors are working so the rear panels need to be pulled to see whats going on. The drivers window goes down but needs a little help going back up.The bottom line is this car needs some work but you can use it and work on it as needed.I will be posting pictures later on this evening. if you would rather talk then email[I prefer talking] my # is 845-863-6327 Steve. Now I have plenty of room to store this car until you can find a reasonable/knowledgable shipper-no need to panic and find a poor shipper because you think the car needs to be moved quickly-DO YOUR HOMEWORK TO FIND THE RIGHT MOVER!!- I have seen some hacks and butchers from the USHIP WEBSITE so take your time!! no paypal please and ALL CHECKS NEED AMPLE TIME TO CLEAR- clear registration still in bobs name ready to be handed over to the new buyer- a buffing and cleaning will do wonders-- I have more pics available-just ask

Chrysler Pacifica owners report sudden power loss; FCA can’t figure out why
Tue, Nov 21 2017More than 50 owners of the Chrysler Pacifica minivan have filed complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, alleging that the vehicle has suddenly lost power while on the road, posing a serious safety risk to owners. The New York Times reports that other Pacifica owners have described similar incidents on a Pacifica online chat forum and on Facebook. The problem seems to be affecting a small fraction of the more than 156,000 Pacificas sold since the minivan was introduced in 2016. No crashes or injuries have been linked to the problem, and dealers have been unable to replicate the issue on affected vehicles they have examined. Fiat Chrysler says it's looking into the problem but hasn't been able to identify the source. FCA spokesman Eric Mayne told the Times the company "is unaware of any injuries by accidents associated with these complaints" but takes customer concerns seriously. He said there was no indication that airbags or seatbelt tension were compromised by the issue. The Pacifica's airbags remain operational even when the vehicle loses power.Search for recall news on our hub. Try Autoblog's Car Finder to search for your next new vehicle. One owner, Adam Cohen, of Leesburg, Va., said his 2017 Pacifica shut down twice while his wife was driving it. He's been discussing the issue with Chrysler engineers and quality officials in recent weeks and even wrote to FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne. "They want to put a data recorder on my Pacifica and have me take it back and drive it around," he told the Times. "I told them they should drive it themselves and wait for it to happen. I don't want my family to be their test dummies. And that's where it stands. We're at a deadlock."Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Did a US automaker blow the whistle on Hyundai, Kia fuel economy issue?
Mon, 17 Dec 2012In all of the most hotly contested mainstream segments of the motoring universe, the difference of one mile per gallon averaged on a widow sticker can mean the difference between a sale and a walk-off - to say nothing of two or three mpg. So, when Hyundai and Kia were forced to reveal that many of their 40-mpg ratings were actually 38s and 37s, well, it made for big news.
It also, conceivably, made for a competitive disadvantage immediately, when the Korean automakers' products were being shopped versus the guys down the block. And it's that disadvantage that makes a recent story from Automotive News so juicy.
AN is reporting that Margo Oge, former head of the Environmental Protection Agency's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, got a tip in 2010 that Hyundai/Kia were "cheating" to get its impressive fuel economy numbers. The tip, said Oge (who retired from the EPA this past September), came from a senior vice president from a domestic automaker. The source was credible enough for Oge to launch an audit of the Hyundai figures, which ultimately lead to the debacle that we reported on a few months ago, and that the Korean company has been trying to bounce back from ever since.
Hybrid, Plug-in Hybrid and EV Buyer's Guide: Which one do you want?
Fri, Nov 10 2017If you're shopping for a new vehicle these days, there's a litany of acronyms, buzzwords, and technobabble to further complicate an already difficult decision. But if you're looking at a green powertrain, you have three basic choices to compare: hybrid, plug-in hybrid and "EV" or, electric vehicle. So what are they and which one — if any — is right for you? Research your next new vehicle using Autoblog's Car Finder. Gasoline-Electric Hybrids By now, most people are familiar with the concept of a hybrid car. Thank Toyota's Prius for that. At its most basic, a hybrid vehicle has two powertrains, one gasoline and one electric, which work together for maximum efficiency. At low speeds, the engine can shut off entirely, relying solely on the battery for propulsion. The battery is either charged as you drive by converting kinetic energy into potential energy via a complex regenerative braking system, or directly off of the gas motor. This is a very hands-off, behind-the-scenes system as all the driver has to is put in gas and drive as normal. Hybrids come in all shapes and sizes and, according to the EPA, range in fuel economy from 58 mpg for the Hyundai Ioniq Blue all the way down to 13 mpg for the Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta. Best For: Anyone who want to see their fuel consumption go down without many sacrifices. You can easily find a hybrid sedan, hatchback, crossover, SUV or even a pickup truck (i f you can find one). Best of all, a hybrid requires no special equipment to be installed at home, or added work for the driver. Hybrids do cost more than traditionally-powered competitors, so make sure to compare projected fuel savings with how much extra a hybrid will cost – it may take a surprisingly long time to break even. The EPA provides a handy calculator for this very purpose. Our Favorite Hybrids: 2017 Toyota Prius 2018 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid 2017 Ford Fusion Hybrid Plug-In Hybrids Sometimes referred to as a PHEV, or plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, this is a baby-step towards full electrification. Armed with a much larger battery pack than a hybrid, PHEVs can go between 12 ( Mercedes-Benz GLE550e) and 97 ( BMW i3 w/Range Extender) miles on electricity alone depending on the model and your driving style. Like a normal hybrid, the driver is largely unaware of which power source is currently in use, even as they switch over — either because the battery is drained, or the driving circumstances require more power.
