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 says Fiat Chrysler can make 6 million cars per year
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The combined Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will see its production capacity increase from a projected 4.6 million in 2014 to 6 million units once it completes its integration, according to statements made by FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"With the initiatives we will announce in May, six million is accessible," Marchionne said during a Fiat shareholders' meeting in Turin, according to The Detroit News. Marchionne is aiming to complete the merger between the Turin, Italy-based Fiat and the Auburn Hills, MI-based Chrysler by the end of this year.
Increasing production by 1.4 million units is no small order, particularly when combined Fiat and Chrysler sales have increased only modestly in the past few years - only 4.4 million units were sold in 2013, and while 4.6 million is projected for 2014, 4.5 million is also a distinct possibility. Six million units per year has been Marchionne's self-imposed goal for the combined automaker, according to The News, claiming that FCA would need to crest that point to achieve profitability.
Fiat-Chrysler alliance in jeopardy due to Pentastar's IPO filing?
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The four-year relationship between Fiat and Chrysler has thus far been beneficial for both automakers, but it has also proven to be a complicated battle between Sergio Marchionne and the United Auto Workers - the latter controlling the remaining 41.5 percent of Chrysler. With the recent filing for a US IPO, it looks like Marchionne and the UAW appear to be playing a billion-dollar game of chicken, with both sides far apart on how much the union's shares are worth. If it comes down to Chrysler's remaining stake being publicly traded, it could act to drive a wedge between the two companies.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat's chairman John Elkann says "if the IPO will take place, there will be two companies, and that's different than having a single one." Now, we're not great at math, but this sounds like the complete opposite of the full merger that Marchionne has been pushing for since taking the helm at Chrysler. Bloomberg notes that the UAW's shares should be worth around $5.6 billion, but Fiat could end up paying as little as $4.9 billion for Fiat to gain full control of Chrysler. A story by The Detroit News points out that Marchionne's "alleged low-balling" is just the latest hurdle the Auburn Hills-based automaker must overcome as its ownership is being fought over for the fourth time in 15 years.
Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
