Amazing Project Car!! 1950 Crysler Windsor . Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Dover, New Hampshire, United States
|
PLEASE ask all questions BEFORE bidding 1950 Chrysler Windsor 4 door sedan with Spitfire 251 straight 6 cylinder engine. This car has 69,000 original miles on it and is an absolutely perfect project car. I am the third owner, the second owner being my cousin who purchased it around 10 years ago from the original owner. The car is currently not running and I purchased it from my cousin with the hopes of restoring it, however finances became an issue and I don't have the money to invest. Haggerty Classic Car values the car at approximately $4600 dollars, but does not take into consideration the particulars of each car, so they are as follows: BODY: THE GOOD-The frame and body are near perfect, having been stored inside most of its life until my cousin got a hold of it and parked it outside. The door jams, fenders, roof, gas tank, trunk, body panels, doors, and all major parts are straight, have no dents and are relatively rust free aside from surface rust. THE BAD- The paint has oxidized considerably and the front driver and passenger side floor pans are rusted through and need to be replaced. The window weather striping was gone and water got into the carpet and was left wet sitting on the floor boards for several years causing very acute rot to the floor boards. I priced the welding out at about $700 to repair pretty easily. INTERIOR: The interior needs to be overhauled. The two bench seats are in relatively good shape considering. The door panels need to be replaced as does the headliner, carpet and A-Pillar coverings. The dash pad is in OK shape. Essentially I would just re do everything if you want to make it a daily driver. The sky is the limit on what you can spend doing interior work. ENGINE: The car is not currently running, however I did some basic diagnostics when I got the car. The engine turned over without any issues when I put a new battery in it. There was spark going to 2 out of the 3 plugs I checked and it sounded like there was compression in the cylinders as I could hear it through the carb. As far as fuel, the tank is completely empty and it appears that it had been drained a while back, which is a good thing. There is obviously quite a bit of dirt and grease on the engine components, but I don't see any obvious leaks anywhere. I planned on simply getting it running and replacing fuel lines and other easy stuff instead of rebuilding the engine. The transmission is a "three on the tree" and switched through the gears without issue as far as I could tell. CHROME: The chrome is in fair condition. There is rust on front bumper and rear bumper. There is oxidation and pitting in grill and other trim. However there is also several places where the chrome is in great shape, like around the windows and front and rear windshield. The chrome is all original and there is nothing missing from the car, which saves a ton of money and time for a restoration. DASH PANEL AND GAUGES AND INTERIOR COMPONENTS: There is absolutely nothing missing from the original vehicle, even down to the original cigarette lighter. The knobs, radio, clock, heater levers are all there. When I hooked up the new battery, the clock started ticking and the gauges worked, which surprised me greatly. The steering wheel needs replacing or re done. The emblems are also in good condition. The door handles and window cranks are all there and in working order. BRAKES: I have not had a chance to look into it, but I would always assume the lines need to be checked for replacement and the wheel cylinders need re building, new shoes etc. TIRES AND RIMS: The tires need to be replaced with white walls STEERING AND FRONT END COMPONENTS: These all appear in working order and I would not expect to need replacing for a daily driver. GLASS: All original and intact. There is a small crack in the rear venting window but other than that, near perfect. TITLE: We do not have the original title The bottom line is this, as with all restoration projects there is a lot of work to be done.If you plan on restoring this to a showroom original quality you probably already know more about it than I do. PAYMENT: Payment must be made within 72 hours of auction close. BUYER assumes all costs related to shipping. BUYER must arrange shipping and pick-up of vehicle. Desoto De Soto |

Marchionne completed Fiat-Chrysler deal from a Florida beach
Fri, 03 Jan 2014Sergio Marchionne is the CEO of Fiat, which as you may have heard, has finally worked up a deal to finish acquiring the Chrysler Group after months of bargaining with the United Auto Workers and its VEBA healthcare trust, which owned just over 40 percent of the American brand. Where was Marchionne when the deal was finally hammered out? Well, not tucked away in a frigid Detroit board room until the wee hours of the morning.
Nope, one of the largest deals in automotive history was reportedly hammered out on the beach - at the home of a banker, in the Florida resort town of Vero Beach. Marchionne traveled to the home of Alain Lebec, a senior managing director at Brock Capital LLC, one of the advisory companies for the VEBA fund, where both sides met to make final arrangements in the $4.35-billion exchange. The location of the final deal, though, is nearly as remarkable as the pace with which it came about.
According to anonymous sources pinned down by Automotive News Europe, before the meeting, the two sides were meeting in Detroit as recently as December 19, which is where Fiat made one of its final revised offers. Naturally, the VEBA made a counter offer, which led Marchionne to initiate the Vero Beach meeting.

Thu, Oct 6 2016The Renault-Nissan Alliance has been chosen to provide a fleet of electric cars for the UN's COP22 Climate Conference in Marrakesh, Morocco. The group will provide 50 passenger EVs – the Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf, and Nissan e-NV200 – to shuttle delegates to and from conference venues. The Alliance will also provide more than 20 charging stations to support the shuttle fleet. The group provided electric shuttles for the historic COP21 summit in Paris last year. Read more from Renault-Nissan. FCA, Iveco, and gas grid company Snam have signed an agreement to boost natural gas as a cleaner alternative fuel for Italy. Under the Memorandum of Understanding, FCA and Iveco will work together to develop CNG vehicles, while Snam will invest in CNG supply facilities like filling stations to support a growing fleet. Italy leads Europe in the amount of natural gas consumed for transport, with 1 million vehicles currently on the road. Read more at Green Car Congress. LG Chem has officially announced it will build a battery plant in Poland to the tune of about $340 million. Located near Wroclaw in southwestern Poland, the plant is expected to produce 100,000 batteries a year for 200-mile EVs beginning in 2019. The plant could help Poland in its goal to reduce pollution by introducing a million EVs on its roads by 2025. "We will turn the Poland EV battery plant into a mecca of battery production for electric vehicles around the world," says UB Lee, President of LG Chem's Energy Solution Company. Construction begins in the second half of 2017. Read more from Automotive News Europe. BMW has introduced the Cruise e-Bike. Its Bosch Performance Line electric motor provides electric assistance at speeds of up to 15 mph. The battery can be either be removed or remain on the bike for charging, which takes 3.5 hours for a full charge. "BMW aims to be the leading provider of premium mobility services, and our bicycle collection furthers that mission," says BMW Accessory and Lifestyle Manager Eric Riehle. "As we enter the holiday season, these bikes make the perfect present for those wishing for their first BMW." The BMW Cruise e-Bike costs $3,430. Read more from BMW.
2015 Chrysler 200
Thu, 20 Mar 2014For the last seven years, the Chrysler Sebring/200 has been a car that few people have managed to say anything good about. When you saw one on the road, it was probably silver and you probably assumed it was rented - especially if it was a convertible. In fact, this writer has never been in one. Ever. I've only watched them go by, trailed always by a roiling wake of invective and vituperation, a lone defender or two asserting meekly and in vain, "It's actually not that bad..."
With roughly 2.3-million units sold every year in the midsize sedan segment where the 200 lives, even tallying 125,476 sales in 2012 (when the 200 was the best-selling car in the Chrysler Group) was never going to be enough. This is the brand's volume offering and the entry point for new-car buyers before they move up to something like a full-size or a crossover. Chrysler's 2011 facelift and rebranding program was a pretty valiant attempt at putting lipstick on a Sebring, but the automaker needed to do a lot better, in every way to command more consideration, sales, respect and resale value - and everyone at The Pentastar knew it.
Enter the 2015 Chrysler 200. This is the sedan that "charts a new course for the Chrysler brand," from its hovering wing badge on the grille to the one billion dollars invested in the company's suburban Detroit Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, including more than doubling the number of quality control inspectors in the new quality assurance center.
