1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham

Great condition. Virtually no rust. Car runs and drives.

Pics of all interior flaws are provided. Otherwise, it is excellent. There really isn’t any flaws on the body. It is about perfect. The only flaw may be one small spot on the vinyl top that will be in a  pic. Here is some additional info on the cars.

·         The car supposedly has a rebuilt 400 engine about ~8,000 miles ago according to previous owner (I cannot verify this information). I bought the car several years from a guy who bought it from the original owner. Therefore, it was in the original owners hands up until then. I was told it was always garaged. The engine rebuild was done by profession shop, but whoever did the rest of the installation didn’t do the greatest job.  Some wires are not routed the best, coil bracket is missing, it has holley carb instead of the original carb, etc. The holley carb doen’t work the best on the car. I was going to find original carb for the car. Engine sounds great (it still has new looking paint), but carb needs tuning or new carb installed. 

·         The antenna doesn't automatically go up and down, and one window sometimes needs help going up and down.

·         No dashboard cracks.

·         No rust on bottom of car. Undercoating looks perfect still. Some very few minor surface rust spots in engine compartment just starting to show.

·         Tires are excellent

·         Mileage shows 22,000 but I’m guessing it is 122,000 miles

·         There appears to be some leaking current or short. If the car sits for a couple weeks without running, the battery will die. Battery will likely need replaced. 

·         The driver side window needs a little “help” the last inch to close.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

Chrysler purchases remaining shares from VEBA Trust, announces funding plan

Thu, 23 Jan 2014

It's official: The Detroit Three is now The Detroit Two and The Fiat Subsidiary, Chrysler. Both the Italian carmaker and The Pentastar announced the completion of cash payments and a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on future payments necessary to make the Chrysler Group a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fiat. As previously detailed, Chrysler made a cash payment of $1.9 billion and Fiat North America made a cash payment of $1.75 billion to the Voluntary Employment Benefit Association (VEBA) run by the United Auto Workers union.
On top of that, Chrysler Group signed an MOU that agrees to payments of $700 million to the VEBA in four installments, the first of which was made concurrently with the other cash payments. And for you trivia mavens, the full name of the UAW is the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America. So go impress your loved ones with that nugget after you check out the press release below.

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats

Thu, 02 Jan 2014

It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.
