For sale is our father’s beautiful 1966 Chrysler New Yorker, nicknamed Marilyn, as part of his estate. This car has many of the service records, including everything from the past few years (last 2 owners). Our dad had a life-long love affair with classic cars, and was extremely particular about them. He bought Marilyn knowing the previous owner and the meticulous care it received from him. She was always garaged.

Marilyn runs and shifts great, is quick as it ought to with the 440 engine. The outside is near perfect as you can see in the pictures. Note the paint is slightly thin (very minor) on the front right fender top from over-buffing. Otherwise, the paint and trim is great. The power windows all work, although the drivers window is a tad slow. Power locks all work. The engine is strong without a hint of smoke. The odometer shows about 20 miles, as it just rolled over from 100,000 about two months ago.

I have outlined all the flaws that I know of, and they really all that minor. We believe this car is in excellent condition, and hope Marilyn finds a new home with someone who will love and care for her as much as our dad did.

eBay Find of the Day: 1979 Chrysler ETV-1 electric car prototype

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

Electric cars may be reaching their time in the sun with successes like the Tesla Model S, but the basic concept goes back to practically beginning of motoring. EVs also saw a brief renaissance in the 1970s when automakers were trying find a way around rising fuel prices. This 1979 Chrysler ETV-1 concept for sale on eBay Motors is a great example from that era.
Built in 1979, designers hoped the ETV-1 would preview what an electric car would look like in 1985. The base price was slated to start at $6,400, or the rough equivalent of $20,536, which seems like an optimistic price. General Electric created the ETV-1's powertrain, and Chrysler was in charge of styling. At the time, the Department of Energy called it "the first advanced four-passenger subcompact experimental electric car."
While it seems ancient compared to today's EVs, the ETV-1 featured regenerative braking and a computer-controlled electric motor. Chrysler reported a 100-mile range at 45 miles per hour with two passengers in the car. The range fell to 75 miles with four passengers. Acceleration was not brisk with Chrysler claiming the run to 30 mph in 9 seconds. Power was stored in 18 lead-acid batteries, and a full charge took 10 hours from a home outlet.

Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead

Mon, 16 Jun 2014

It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.
