1970 Chrysler Newport Custom 383 V8 Automatic, Air Conditioning Jeff 701-609-1557 Hello, and welcome to my eBay listing. I have an all original, all matching numbers car with great options too. The original owner of this Chrysler Newport was a little old lady in North Dakota and when she could no longer drive a local farmer purchased it. It is a 1970 with a 383 V8 2 Barrel Carburetor. It really moves! It has an automatic transmission and air conditioning and power steering and brakes. The caretaker of the car used it as a once a week type driver. I put a new battery in it and put all new plugs and cap and rotor and plug wires and completed a compression test of all the cylinders and all is in good shape. It starts right up but the carb will need a good cleaning or rebuild. No smoke no drips no overheating.. Just a smooth running 383.. The transmission was smooth and perfect too. The brakes and suspension are good. The under body is in great condition but the exhaust does have a leak in it. The bad is really all cosmetic and mostly only on the interior. The paint is pretty fair for the most part. with a few worn spots. There is a dent/scrape on the rear passenger side. but the rest will polish out pretty well. The chrome is all in great shape except for a trim piece on the front grill. The interior is all factory and needs a good cleaning. The radio is original. The carpet is a bit tired. A little ArmorAll would go a long way on the interior areas. So that’s the story.. A good start to an easy restoration or a pretty cool and unique cruiser as it is. The miles are 67, 039. I wouldn’t call the car rusty, but there are some light rust spots here and there. The floors and frame are solid. The rear window has a little rust around the rear right corner. This Chrysler Newport has a ton of vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future appreciation. Here are my rules. #1. Only bid if you have intentions to buy. #2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. #3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback. #4. This is an AS-IS sale. I have done my best to describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees. #5. I will not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the Chrysler Newport. Pay-Pal is for the deposits only, the balance must be paid by certified check or wire. Legitimate and legal buyers only please. Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase. I reserve the right to end early for the right offer so let me know what you are thinking. I’m Jeff my Phone number is 701-609-1557

Junkyard Gem: 2002 Chrysler PT Cruiser Dream Cruiser Series 1
Sun, Feb 23 2020It has become fashionable to hate the PT Cruiser these days, but Chrysler really hit a home run with the idea of a retro-looking, Neon-based vehicle that — legally speaking — qualified as a light truck according to American regulations and thus didn't need to comply with the costly fuel-economy and crash-safety rules applied to cars. PT Cruisers sold like crazy for the first half of the 2000s and even developed something of a cult followingÂ… but familiarity bred contempt once every parking lot and traffic jam in the country filled up with cute-looking retrowagons. I didn't start seeing many of these cars trucks in junkyards until about a decade ago, at which point the Chrysler section of every yard instantly became about 50% PT Cruisers. Most of the time, I ignore them as car-graveyard background noise, but the rare turbocharged Cruisers or those with manual transmissions can catch my eye, as well as those with weird body kits. The more interesting special-edition PT Cruisers also seem worth documenting as historically significant Junkyard Gems, and here's one of the rarest of all: a Dream Cruiser Series 1, found last summer in Colorado. Inspired by Detroit's Woodward Dream Cruise, the '02 Dream Cruiser Series 1 was the first of many special-edition PT Cruisers (if you're going to collect them all, you'll need to find a Pacific Coast Highway Edition, a Sunset Boulevard Edition, a Woodie Edition, and all the subsequent Dream Cruiser Series cars). All the Series 1 Dream Cruisers came in metallic Inca Gold paint, allegedly inspired by the paint on the 1998 Pronto Cruiser concept car. Chrysler planned to build 7,500 of these cars trucks, but I cannot verify actual production numbers. This is the first I've seen in a self-service wrecking yard, at any rate. The Dream Cruiser Series 1 got leather seats and interesting gold-trimmed interior surfaces. This one looks a bit rough inside, but we can assume it was glorious when new. Resale value on the PT Cruiser has cratered in recent years, so even a runner has little chance of evading the cold steel jaws of the crusher, once it starts to rust. Because every performance upgrade you can do with a Neon can also be done to a PT Cruiser, it would be possible to swap all the relevant mechanical bits from an SRT-4 Neon into a snazzy-looking Dream Cruiser and have the quickest PT Cruiser in your timezone.

How GM ended up suing its crosstown rival Fiat Chrysler
Sat, Nov 23 2019DETROIT — Automakers sue each other on occasion, but no one in Detroit can remember one accusing another of bribing union officials to get an unfair labor cost advantage. Yet thatÂ’s what happened Wednesday when General Motors filed a federal racketeering lawsuit against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. ItÂ’s based on a widening federal investigation into corruption involving officials of the United Auto Workers union, and shortly after the lawsuit was filed, the unionÂ’s president Gary Jones stepped down. The 95-page complaint could affect ongoing contract talks between the union and Fiat Chrysler, the lone automaker of DetroitÂ’s big three thatÂ’s still in negotiations. It also could cause jitters with French automaker PSA Peugeot, which has reached an agreement to merge with the Italian-American automaker. Here are some questions and answers about the lawsuit and its impact: Why did GM sue? GM alleges that Fiat Chrysler senior executives, including now-deceased CEO Sergio Marchionne, paid $1.5 million in bribes to UAW officials for nearly a decade and corrupted the bargaining process with the union in the 2009, 2011 and 2015 contracts to gain advantages over General Motors. The lawsuit says that because of the bribes, which were funneled through a joint UAW-Fiat Chrysler training center, the union allowed Fiat Chrysler to use more lower-paid temporary workers. Also, FCA in 2015 did not have to limit the number of newly hired workers who make less and get lower-cost benefits than older workers hired before 2007. GM contends it couldnÂ’t negotiate similar union concessions that FCA was able to get through bribery. GM could only hire a limited number of temporary and lower-paid new workers, called “second tier” workers, which unfairly increased its labor costs by billions of dollars. It alleges the higher labor costs had another purpose — to force GM into a merger with FCA that Marchionne wanted. GM did wind up with higher labor costs, which until the lawsuit had not been linked to the federal corruption probe. Before contract talks with all three automakers began last summer, the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank, determined Fiat ChryslerÂ’s total hourly labor costs including wages and benefits were about $55 per hour, $8 less per hour than GM and $6 lower than Ford. At a Wall Street conference in New York on Thursday, GM CEO Mary Barra said her company can compete on a level playing field.
Chrysler investigating complaints of vehicles with faulty power modules
Sun, 24 Aug 2014Chrysler owners are hopping mad after experiencing a series of electrical gremlins in some of the company's vehicles. Issues range from mere annoyances - windows rolling down and radios turning off of their own accord - to serious safety issues, with headlights that randomly shut off at night and cars that stall and refuse to start.
The issues are being blamed on the total integrated power module, which can cost up to $1,000 for customers to replace. This, of course, has led to a hefty batch of complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, with 240 owners expressing their displeasure so far. Another site, CarComplaints.com, has registered over 300 complaints relating to the 2010 to 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango, alone, according to The New York Times.
Chrysler has acknowledged that it's investigating the complaints and is analyzing the faulty TIPMs, but that isn't quite enough for customers of the affected vehicles. The newspaper has snagged a few of the more harrowing tales with the electrically challenged Chrysler products, culled from the NHTSA complaints.
