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.

Stellantis will enter joint venture with Samsung SDI for EV batteries

Tue, Oct 19 2021

SEOUL — South Korean battery maker Samsung SDI Co Ltd and global automaker Stellantis NV have agreed to jointly produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries for the North American market, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Samsung SDI, an affiliate of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics, already has EV battery plants in South Korea, China and Hungary, which supply customers such as BMW and Ford. "The two companies (Samsung SDI and Stellantis) have struck a MOU (memorandum of understanding) to produce EV batteries for North America," the person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The source spoke of condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The person said the location of the battery joint venture is under review and will be announced later. In July, Reuters reported that Samsung SDI may build a battery plant in the United States, citing a company source. South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported the two companies plan to build a factory in the United States, citing industry sources. Samsung SDI and Stellantis did not have immediate comment when reached by Reuters. Stellantis on Monday struck a preliminary deal with battery maker South Korea's LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America. Shares of Samsung SDI were up 2.6% as of 0300 GMT, versus a 0.6% rise in the KOSPI benchmark index.

Man escapes attempted carjacking and catches the incident on his dashcam

Fri, Dec 9 2016

(Warning: video contains strong language. Viewer discretion is advised.) A quick-thinking driver avoided a potentially dangerous situation this week in New Mexico when he evaded and attempted car jacking. On the evening of December 6, an unnamed man accompanied a friend to a market near the intersection of Central and San Mateo in Albuquerque. After he saw his friend safely away in her car, he got back into his and pulled out of the parking lot. Almost immediately, as shown in dashcam footage uploaded to Youtube, a red Chrysler 300 began following him. When the driver pulled up to a stop sign around the block from the market, the Chrysler zipped around and pulled in front of him, blocking his forward progress. Figuring he was about to be carjacked, the driver threw the car into reverse and backed quickly away from the Chrysler. The Chrysler followed, and a chase ensured. With the Chrysler close on his tail, the unnamed driver fled through the nearly empty streets. At one point he cut through a gas station when the Chrysler tried to block him at another intersection. As they drove through the city the Chrysler continually tried to stop the fleeing driver, but he successfully evaded every time. The driver called 911 and reported his predicament. Eventually, both vehciles pulled up at a stop light right next to an Albuquerque Police cruiser. The driver laid on the horn to get the cop's attention, then jumped out to tell the cop what was going on. The Chrysler then made a run for it with the cop in hot pursuit. Unfortunately, the red Chrysler evaded the APD and the car's license plate was obscured so the APD was unable to identify the vehicle or its occupants. Thankfully no one was hurt during the chase, and the driver was able to get home safe and sound. Carjacking is a serious crime. The driver in this video did everything right, except maybe delay calling the police a little too long. The crime is so prevalent that the US Department of Justice has tips for avoiding carjacking. They suggest drivers avoiding stopping when signaled by other drivers or assisting during an accident. Calling the authorities should be your first step if you're every followed or harassed while driving. Head to the nearest police station if you can't get a hold of a cop in time.

Chrysler officially rebrands as FCA US LLC

Tue, Dec 16 2014

Detroit's third-largest automaker has had a lot of names over the years. It was founded as the Chrysler Corporation in 1925, a name it held until 1998 when it was bought by ze Germans in 1998 to form DaimlerChrysler AG, then it went independent in 2007 under the name Chrysler LLC before being retitled once again as Chrysler Group LLC in 2009. And now the automaker headquartered in Auburn Hills, MI, is getting yet another new name. Announced today and effective immediately, the company formerly known as Chrysler will now be called FCA US LLC. That's a lot of letters, but they make a lot of sense, too: FCA stands for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, the US telling us this is the company's American division and the LLC tells us it's a limited liability company – a legal classification similar to (but not quite the same as) a corporation. The announcement comes shortly after the company decided to phase out its long-serving Pentastar logo. The sum total is that the once-independent industrial giant is now formally part of a larger European parent company, owned by Fiat and (for taxation purposes, anyway) based in the Netherlands. What the company formerly known as Chrysler wants to emphasize, however, is that FCA US LLC will remain based in Auburn Hills and retain its "holdings, management team, board [and] brands." Chrysler Group LLC Announces New Company Name: FCA US LLC U.S.-based Automaker's New Name Aligns With Global Parent December 16, 2014 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Chrysler Group LLC, the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based automaker, today announced that it has changed its company name to FCA US LLC. The name change is effective immediately and follows the naming convention of its global parent company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. (FCA), which officially adopted its new name in October when it listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The name change to FCA US LLC does not affect the company's headquarters location in Auburn Hills, Michigan, its holdings, management team, board or brands. FCA US, together with parent FCA, continues to work toward the business plan presented on Investor Day in May 2014. Additionally, the Company remains proud of its joint heritage. FCA US continues to build upon the solid foundations first established by Walter P. Chrysler in 1925 as well as a rich Fiat heritage that dates from 1899. FCA US employs more than 77,000 employees worldwide, with 96 percent of its workforce based in North America.
