1977 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham Hardtop Survivor on 2040-cars
Colonial Heights, Virginia, United States
|
1977 Chrysler New Yorker. 40,140 mile Survivor. 100% original paint in magnificent condition. All chrome and trim magnificent. Zero rust, including under vinyl top. Interior impeccable. Great color combo, no ugly belt molding. This is the one you want. 440-4bbl runs smooth and strong and quiet, you forget it's running, but it has that unique Thermoquad sound when the secondary valves open. Rebuilt and re-cored original radiator about 400 miles ago, installed 3 row in place of the original 2 row. A/C blows cold, R134a conversion. Flushed system, replaced compressor, dryer, expansion valve, and O-rings. Replaced valve cover gaskets. Wheel bearings freshly packed. Original undercoating. Burgundy cloth interior immaculate, drive it anyplace in comfort. Window gaskets and weather stripping are great, car is very quiet inside when all four windows are up, no howling or wind noise. All emissions equipment still in place for those in California or other places where it matters. Wipers work and park, washer fluid squirts from wiper arms like it should. Car starts like it should no matter how hot or cold out. Power seat works, fender mounted signals work, hazards, brake lights, everything. Current Virginia inspection. Runs drives and stops like a 40,000 mile car should. Wear points like driver's armrest aren't worn. Headliner is perfect. Washer and overflow bottle under the hood are not discolored. Car is flat out magnificent and it might easier to discuss the few details that are not. The only thing that doesn't work is the 8-track deck, it might need a belt. AM FM radio works fine on all four original speakers. The front passenger's door doesn't lock, I'm pretty certain the plunger linkage is just a little bent inside. The plunger probably got snagged on a coat or something at some point since 1977. The door closes and latches fine. I didn't want to disassemble the mint door panel to fix it since you damage that pressboard material a tiny bit each time no matter how careful you are and I don't leave the car alone or in places I'd feel the need to lock it. Very top of back seat cloth is slightly faded. Tiny hairline cracks in steering wheel by spokes, but you won't find a better one, see pic. One flaw in driver's door pull. See pic. This is how a 40,000 mile original should be, and you won't be disappointed. Please contact me to ask about anything you'd like. Come see it and drive it or arrange to send your inspector to my garage. If you opened this listing and know what a survivor is, you know what you should expect. I require a $500 non-refundable deposit due to my paypal within 24 hours of auction's end. Car must be retrieved within 15 days of auction's end, it will remain in my garage while you get here. If you can't pick up, I will coordinate with you for transport upon receipt of full payment, clear Virginia title in my name will be posted by USPS registered mail. Car is for sale locally, reserve right to end auction early. I've done my best to describe the car exactly as it is, minor flaws included. Serious hobbyists or collectors only please. These may not be worth a fortune, but is too nice to be someone's beater. |

Car dealership in East Texas destroyed by tornado
Tue, May 2 2017Few things are as fundamentally and unconditionally destructive as a tornado. These cataclysmic phenomena pass through towns, leaving nothing in their wake but ruin and despair. According to an NBC affiliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, a car dealership in nearby Canton was hit by a tornado Saturday night. No employees were hurt. Four other people in the area weren't so lucky. Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Canton's new showroom and service center were pounded by the storm, leaving dozens of cars in various states of ruin. Some merely lost windows, while others were flipped and left on their sides or roofs. Photos show piles of cars stacked up like Hot Wheels dumped on the ground. According to a statement from the National Weather Service, winds reached speeds of up to 140 mph. Two other tornadoes were reported in the region. The area has been declared a disaster zone and first responders from up to 100 miles away have swarmed in to help out those in need. According to Reuters, the storms Saturday killed 11 people nationwide.

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep
Thu, 30 May 2013The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
Detroit's new emergency city manager worked on Chrysler bankruptcy [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013
Kevyn Orr, the new emergency city manager of Detroit, has a history with one of Michigan's most famous residents: Chrysler. Governor Rick Snyder (at right) appointed Orr to the position yesterday with the belief that Detroit needs outside assistance to right the city's mounting financial woes. Orr (at left), a partner with the Jones Day law firm, will begin work on March 25 and receive $275,000 a year for his work. While state officials believe the new city manager will be able to complete his duties in 18 months, the contract is technically open-ended.
The 54-year-old attorney helped steer Chrysler through its 2009 bankruptcy, earning $700 per hour for his efforts. He was also instrumental in convincing the courts to allow Chrysler to shutter 789 dealerships in a single month. Orr says he's aware that his efforts won't have made him any friends in Southern Michigan.
