Beautiful 1969 Chrysler Newport Convertible on 2040-cars
Chico, California, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chrysler
Drive Type: Rear Wheel Drive
Model: Newport
Mileage: 39,900
Trim: 2 Door Convertible
Fabulous 1969 Chrysler Newport Convertible with a factory H-Code high performance 4-bb big block engine. This beauty has only 39,900 original miles! With her brand new Magna Flow Turbo mufflers, she purrs like a kitten. That is, until you press down on the gas and those 4 barrels open up, then she has the wonderful, throaty growl that only a big block mopar engine can make! She is very well optioned with this 330 HP/425 ft lbs powerplant featuring a dual snorkel air cleaner, dual exhaust, air conditioning, am/fm 8 track, power disc brakes, and factory cruise control. This powerful engine is backed up by a smooth shifting HD 727 Torqueflight transmission that feeds a bomb-proof 8 3/4 "489" rear axle with 3.23 gears. She has new shocks, (4) new Firestone radial tires, new fuel tank and sending unit, new waterpump, new starter, new 100amp alternator, viscous fan package, new cigar lighter, and the two new Magna Flow mufflers. When I bought her about 5 years ago, I had been researching '69 Road Runners, Super Bees etc. that also had the exact HP 383, torqueflight tranny, and the 8 3/4 rear end and they cost an averaged 40,000.00. So when I found this beauty for only 11,700.00 I snapped her up in a heartbeat! However, due to financial difficulties at this time, and declining health, I have to let her go. This low mileage Chrysler convertible has been meticulously taken care of, always garaged and covered, yet driven and enjoyed as well. During a recent drive to the redwoods over on the coast of northern California a rock chipped the windshield and resulted in a crack. I will be including a brand new replacement windshield in this auction. I'd like to get my money back which is around 13,500.00. However, I am listing this stunning car with a low starting bid of only 9999.00 and no reserve! 1969 was a great year for Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, yet less than 2500 convertible Newports were made. Here's your chance to own a wonderful, high performance, big block drop top for only 10 grand. Good luck bidding, (and if you're the lucky winner,) enjoy driving this fantastic convertible this summer!

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
Bob Dylan to star in Chrysler Super Bowl spot [w/videos]
Thu, 30 Jan 2014Billboard reports that Bob Dylan will be working with Chrysler again, this time starring in a Super Bowl ad expected to showcase the company's new 200 sedan. The rock icon first tied up with the Chrysler Group late last year when a commercial for the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee used Dylan's unreleased cover of Blind Willie Johnson's "Motherless Children" for its soundtrack.
The last big-game commercial for the 200 used Eminem in 2011 to introduce us to the outgoing 200 and the tagline-turned-mini-movement, "Imported from Detroit." Since then, Clint Eastwood, Berry Gordy, Jr., and America's farmers have taken turns impressing us with Chrysler Group's wares. It isn't yet known what song will be used for the spot. Speaking of the coming ad, company CEO Sergio Marchionne said, "Someone made the comment to me that I had the right commercial in 2011 and the wrong car. I think we now have hopefully the right commercial and the right car."
It's not Dylan's first outing with a carmaker, having starred in a spot to promote the Cadillac Escalade in 2007. Nor will it be the only Dylan music we get during the Super Bowl, the singer having licensed a track that's used in a one-minute commercial for Chobani Greek yogurt.
Chrysler reports $464M net income for Q3
Wed, 30 Oct 2013Chrysler has just announced earnings of $464 million in net income for this third quarter, a 22-percent year-over-year increase. Net income for the first three quarters of 2013 is at $1.1 billion. Net revenue climbed significantly as well, to $17.6 billion, a 13.5-percent increase on Q3 of 2012.
Those increases were thanks in no small part to an eight-percent rise in sales from the same period last year, with 603,000 vehicles sold worldwide. "Chrysler Group's ninth consecutive quarter of positive net income highlights our commitment to producing award-winning vehicles for consumers, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ram 1500," said Sergio Marchionne, Chairman and CEO of Chrysler Group.
Despite the increased sales, Chrysler's US market share dropped slightly, from 11.3 percent in Q3 2012 to 11.2. Canadian market share remained level at 14.3 percent. Have a look below for the entire press release from Chrysler.
