Up for sale is a 1983 Chrysler New Yorker, Fifth Ave in gray-charcoal metallic and super sweet plush burgundy leather seats. The car has 110K miles on it. This car was a one-owner car until I purchased it one month ago. Yes, it is a Chicago car, but it was garage kept and was NOT the owners winter car. I've seen the fwd vehicle he drove in the winter, and it was ugly. This car was his baby, and it shows. If it was driven repeatedly in the winter, the car would have rusted in half long ago.

I can not keep the car because I now need the bay in my garage for building supplies for our home renovation, so my loss is someone's gain. I will not park the car on the street after all these years of being garage kept.

I am gong to do my very best to describe this car, both the good and bad, so that the winner of this auction will be extremely happy with the car.

So, to start out.

Performance: This car runs and drives so good that it really is a pleasure to drive. The 318 packs a nice punch. The carb is in great working order. The transmission shifts excellent, nice and smooth. The temp gauge is sits right where it should be and the engine does not run hot. The alignment is excellent and the power steering pump works great. The tires are 95% new. The overall ride is excellent and the leaf springs on the rear handle all the bumps in the road. The car does not leak fluids. I had a garage install a new driver's side front brake caliper recently.

Interior: All four window motors work. The ac is weak and needs a recharge. Drivers side carpet shows some wear (no rips or tears) but excellent carpet all around the rest of the car. The front seats show some wear but no tears. The back seats are amazing. The radio works, but antenna is missing the top half. The headliner is excellent, super tight all the way around. The liner on the A Pillar has faded and is no longer burgundy. Please see the pictures. The inside of the trunks is spotless, carpet is excellent.

Lights: The driver's side high beam is out, you can see it in the pictures. All directional signals work. Also in the pics, see the light control lever on the dash. It works, but it might need to be tightened down some.

Exterior: Overall, the exterior is great. Let me bring attention to a few things that are pictured. First, the driver's side of the car is very nice. There are a few scratches on the trunk lid (see the pics) but nothing major. There is a scratch on the passenger's side rear door, but again very minor. On the passenger's side, there are some subtle dings that I didn't even see for a few weeks. I did my best to capture them in a photo. You only see them when the light hits the car at the right angle. They actually look worse in the photo, but better to look worse then to downplay them. The vertical trim on the drivers door needs to be glued down again. The black vinyl top on the back of the roof is in excellent condition. The rear bumper has a piece of rubber that is coming off the bumper by the bumper guard, as seen in the picture. The front bumper on the driver's side has a little dent.

Rust: Good news, the rust is so minor so please keep reading! No visible rust on the exterior. Fenders and quarter panels are excellent. Same with the wheel wells. Now, underneath the car, the floor pans are great. The subframe does show some surface rust, but nothing that a wire wheel can't clean up in a matter of minutes. Same for the seam where the rockers meet the floor pans, there is surface rust, but nothing that a wire wheel and a coat of paint won't fix. There is surface rust on the leaf springs, but again, no biggie. Everything under the car is SOLID, but I just want to mention this surface rust. See the pics.

Passenger's Side Door: Please see the picture with the tape measure in it. This is the only rust-issue that you might want to deal with. It is at the VERY bottom of the door, and it appears that either the paint is peeling up or is it a split in the sheet metal? I will take a closer look, right now I can't tell. I will also add another photo from a different angle. About six inches down from this spot, there are two bubbles under the paint.

Title: I have the original title and a Bill of Sale. I have not signed the title yet, nor have I registered the car in IL. After completion of the sale and full payment, I will work with the buyer (and depending on what state he or she lives in) and either hand over the title as it is, or if I need to register the car before handing over the title, I will do is in an expedited fashion.

Which car companies are creating new jobs in America?

Fri, Sep 22 2017

Since January, automakers have announced investments totaling $9.5 billion in U.S. plants, creating or retaining more than 12,000 jobs. Some of those companies have yet to announce just how many jobs will be created given their investments, with the location of many of those jobs still to be determined. Specifically, the 4,000-job Toyota-Mazda joint venture plant still hasn't announced its location, with numerous states jockeying for it. Hyundai has plans to invest $1 billion but has not announced a jobs number yet. And likewise Ford is investing $1.2 billion in Michigan without specifying a number of jobs. Volvo this week announced plans to add a second line to its factory under construction in South Carolina, spending another $500 million and adding 2,500 jobs to the 2,000 it was already trying to fill. Then Thursday, Daimler announced a $1 billion expansion to its facility in Tuscaloosa, Ala., to produce EV batteries and electric SUVs, a move that will add 600 jobs to its hiring this year. Above, we've created a handy pie chart showing you which companies have announced new jobs and how many there will be.

Fiat Chrysler cuts 2018 outlook, shares tumble on weaker quarterly profit

Wed, Jul 25 2018

MILAN — The news of former Fiat Chrysler chief executive Sergio Marchionne's death arrived Wednesday moments before the group reported a surprisingly heavy drop in profit. The death of one of the auto industry's most tenacious and respected CEOs overshadowed a big selloff in Fiat Chrysler shares. FCA's scheduled second-quarter earnings presentation, led by Marchionne's successor and former lieutenant Mike Manley, began on Wednesday afternoon with a moment of silence. As eulogies flooded in, FCA shares fell as much as 10 percent as investors digested an unexpected 35 percent fall in net profit, well below market forecasts. Marchionne rescued Fiat and Chrysler from bankruptcy after taking the wheel of the Italian carmaker in 2004 and he multiplied Fiat's value 11 times through 14 years of canny dealmaking. He was due to step down at FCA in April next year. "The best way to honor his memory is to build on the legacy he left us, continuing to develop the human values of responsibility and openness of which he was the most ardent champion," Chairman John Elkann added. On Saturday, FCA named Jeep division head Mike Manley, 54, as head of the world's seventh-largest carmaker, saying the Briton would execute a strategy that Marchionne had outlined in June. FCA has said Manley will work to ensure a "strong and independent" future for the group. Underlining the task facing Manley, FCA cut its full-year earnings outlook after the weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings. Having to deliver the bad news four days into his new job, Manley blamed the result on a weaker performance in China, a market that represents one of new CEO's immediate headaches. "The biggest challenges we face and frankly we're going to continue to face ... are all focused in China," Manley said. FCA has yet to make any significant inroads in China. In Marchionne's June plan, FCA pledged to boost production of sport utility vehicles and invest in electric and hybrid cars to double operating profit by 2022. It unveiled bold targets for Jeep, FCA's profit engine. FCA said adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the April-June period fell 11 percent to 1.7 billion euros ($1.99 billion), compared with 2 billion euros in a Reuters poll of analysts. Chinese demand slumped in the quarter ahead of a July cut in import duties, resulting in higher incentive spending and an increase in unsold vehicle stocks that "particularly affected Maserati," Manley said.

Are you the 2015 Chrysler 300?

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

When Chrysler showed us its hand and revealed its five-year product plan to the world, we learned that the updated 300 sedan will bow at the LA Auto Show in November. Now, thanks to Allpar, we might have our first (super grainy) look at the new sedan a full two months ahead of its official debut.
Unlike its Dodge Charger platform mate, the new 300 isn't really all that different from the model currently on sale. That said, we're not sure if the changes shown here really reflect styling that we'd call "better," with the company's logo sort of floating at the top of the grille, and a more simplistic front end that lets the schnoz stick out a bit. Again, nothing drastic to talk about, but the new tweaks are kind of weak. Of course, we'll wait until we see the finished product in the metal before we make up our minds.
Don't expect things to change too much in terms of interior refinement or powertrain offerings, as well, with all the same leather and technology we've enjoyed in the 300 before, and the usual 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8 powertrain options. We'll know for sure when the car shows its freshened face in Los Angeles in November.
