1974 Chrysler New Yorker. One family (three generations) owned since new. Car has been always very well taken care of and garaged. The car has also been regularly serviced over the years as scheduled and needed. This is a somewhat unique car in that it was one of the last remaining large bodied Chryslers made, as the oil embargo of the late 1970s really was a game changer for automobile design at the time.. Chrysler in particular. As such, few 1974 large Chryslers were sold that year. Also somewhat interesting to note, is the fact that 1974 was the last year that cars were not required to be manufactured with catalytic converters as mandated by the Federal Government for 1975 and newer cars. As such, the 1974 models could still run on “high-test” leaded fuel. Being a “hardtop” also makes it a touch more special.

I would describe the overall condition of the car to be very good, not perfect, but very good. If you are looking for a Pebble Beach or Greenwich concours winner, this would not be your car. If you are looking for a good solid car that presents well and you can have fun driving a somewhat unique car to your favorite local car shows or date nights, then I think you’ll be pleased for years to come.

Mechanically, the engine starts well and revs well until it is warmed up and then you can easily knock it down to a lower rpm by punching the gas pedal quickly – exactly as it was designed. The car shifts through it’s three speed Torqueflite gears with ease and without issue. The engine does not smoke or burn any noticeable oil to speak of. The original am/fm stereo works well (don’t expect today’s sound quality or reception). The heater/vent/ac systems all seem to work, but I would argue that the AC is a bit anemic and could benefit from a charge. All power windows function as they should. The car tracks down the road nicely and offers a comfortable ride without any odd noises or noticeable issues. The odometer works and reads 73,985 miles and I believe this to be accurate, but I cannot confirm this officially – it may have been around once.

Cosmetically, I would describe the car as a 6-footer. From 6 feet away, the car presents very nicely with decent shine on paintwork and chrome. Closer inspection would reveal imperfections that 40 years of even light service would reflect. The same could be said of the parchment color interior. There are a couple small holes in the headliner, but the vinyl seats are all in good shape. Several years ago, Brougham seats (front & back), that were a perfect color and size match for the more generic standard New Yorker seats, were installed to not only give a better look to the car, but to provide greater comfort. The car has never been in any significant accident and posses all original sheet metal.

I have many OEM trim parts available for the car that I have collected over the years and I will make them available to the winning bidder. Also included is a mint rear bumper (there is nothing fundamentally wrong with the one on the car, but the chrome is less than perfect).

In describing the condition of the car in any way, it should be noted that I am not an automotive professional, dealer or mechanic. I have attempted to describe the car as accurately as possible as an automotive lay person. All bidders and prospective buyers of this automobile MUST make their own assessments as to the condition of the car to satisfy their desires and needs – my description should be used as a general guide only. The car will be available for viewing, driving and inspection at mutually convenient times and all must be performed prior to auction close. The car is 40 years old – please consider this accordingly before you bid! There is absolutely no warranty, guarantee or set aside for the sale of this car. In other words, the car is being sold As-Is/Where-is. Again, it is the bidder’s responsibility to thoroughly satisfy themselves with the overall condition of the car prior to bidding, and then bid accordingly. The car does not come with a title, only because the State of Connecticut does not title cars manufactured prior to 1981.

The winning bidder is responsible for pick-up and delivery costs and arrangements.

Thank you for considering this car – I am sure it will make the right person happy!

Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

2015 Chrysler 200 nets 10,000 orders in first day

Thu, 15 May 2014

Chrysler is having a "crazy impressive" launch for its 2015 200, claims company spokesperson Rick Deneau. Within the first two days of opening the order books, the Pentastar took over 17,000 requests for its swoopy new family sedan - 10,000 of them in the first day. The company says that's enough to keep its Sterling Heights, MI, factory running at full capacity through mid-July.
Deneau tells Autoblog that the last time he saw such an immediate popularity for a model was when Ram launched its 1500 EcoDiesel pickup. That truck sold out of its initial order allocation in just three days earlier this year. As you'd expect, "most of these are dealer orders," Deneau admits. In other words, they're not necessarily coming at the behest of individual customer, but that's standard operating procedure as dealers look to fill up their showrooms.
For the moment, it's too early to know which trim or engine will prove most popular in the new 200. At present, most of the ordered models are highly optioned. That's normal for a new vehicle launch, as early adopters tend to want all the bells and whistles and dealers want to show off their new stock by putting their best foot forward.
