Up for auction we have a beautiful 1971 Chrysler Town & Country Station Wagon. This car currently has 77,614 original miles and is powered by the optional 440 c.i. V-8 also original to the car. Options include A.C., power windows, split bench seat with power 6-way on the drivers side and reclining back rest on the passenger side, remote drivers side mirror as well as a manual passenger side mirror and front disc brakes. Car also has the 3rd seat in the rear making this a 9 passenger model. This car is essentially a survivor with mostly original paint , nice chrome and a beautiful original interior without a rip or tear to be found. The only rust to be found is a small spot on the inside edge of the spare tire well (seePhoto). I purchased this car a little over a year ago after a lengthy search since my parents had an identical Town & Country when I was a child and have put over 3000 miles on it since that time. This car runs fantastic and has to be one of the most comfortable cars I have driven, in fact I was invited to the Hemmings Concours in Saratoga N.Y. last fall where the car was voted “Best Car to Drive to California” by the Hemmings staff. The tires are almost new as well as the exhaust system and I recently replaced the brake master cylinder, power steering pump and rear wheel cylinders. The power windows including the tailgate window all work flawlessly as does the power seat. Items that do not work include the A.C., it’s 100% complete with the belt on the compressor, I just never got the chance to try and figure it out and frankly It never bothered me. The gas guage also doesn’t work, again not that big a deal since the car has a re-setable trip odometer and I would set to zero at every fill up, also the AM radio doesn’t work, but I have a spare original radio that goes with the car, I much rather listen to the rumble of the 440, that’s music to my ears! You can see this car was not ordered with the optional roof rack, I was fortunate to find an original and correct rack for this car in very nice shape and have already had the stainless portions of the rack polished. I also found a set of the optional grab handles that are mounted on either side of the tailgate window that help when entering the third seat. Both the grab handles including the shorter stainless trim pieces (also polished) required for the conversion and the luggage rack are included with the purchase of the car and yes all the necessary mounting hardware is also included. While I consider this car to be in excellent condition, it does have it’s share of little touch ups and minor scratches, there is also some minor damage to the right rear door(see photo). My reason for selling is simple, while this car is on my top 5 list, my number 2 choice became available and I simply cannot keep both cars. I am happy to show this car by appointment, I can be reached at 203-219-2962. Connecticut does not issue titles for older cars anymore so this car will be sold with a bill of sale only. |

Jeep hiring 1,000 part-time workers in Toledo on Wrangler, Cherokee demand
Wed, 12 Mar 2014The new Jeep Cherokee has been quite a success for Chrysler, but its factory workers are getting tired. The automaker has agreed to hire up to 1,000 part-time, temporary employees at its Toledo Assembly Complex where the CUV and Wrangler are built. It will allow the company to keep Jeep production moving, while giving laborers a break.
According to plant manager Chuck Padden in the Toledo Blade, full-time workers are regularly taking on 60 hours a week, and it's beginning to wear on them. "To get them more time off is important to us, to make sure they're refreshed, and can work safely," said Padden.
Chrysler has already hired 380 temporary, part-time workers for the plant, and 50 have been converted to full-time employees. The company is in the process of interviewing the rest of the new hires now and plans to have all 1,000 in place by the summer. They will work between 10 and 30 hours a week mostly on weekends for $15.78 per hour with limited benefits. The temporary positions will last "as long as demand continues for the Jeep Wrangler and the Jeep Cherokee," said Jodi Tinson, Chrysler spokesperson for manufacturing and labor communications, to Autoblog in an email.

Marchionne: Midsize pickup still not in the cards; Ram 1500, Jeep Wrangler could use aluminum
Wed, 07 May 2014During the Fiat-Chrysler briefings on Tuesday, Reid Bigland, head of Ram Trucks, outlined the new product plans for his brand, including confirmation that an all-new light-duty Ram 1500 will launch in 2017. From there, discussions spun off in two directions, with the main questions being: will Ram build a midsize pickup? And, following Ford's move to extensively use aluminum in its new 2015 F-150, will Chrysler be using this weight-saving material for the next round of its fullsize truck, as well?
"I think there is room for a Ram 1000," Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne (pictured above) told members of the media, saying this is a conversation the automaker has been having internally for several years now. "We've tried this ... we've actually taken it to clinics," Marchionne stated, adding that the "response has been lukewarm."
"I have better use of aluminum in this house than a pickup truck." - Sergio Marchionne
