This is a beautiful example of a survivor 1962 Chrysler New Yorker. all original 413 V8, push-button shifted transmission, with power steering, power brakes, power seat, power windows, factory option Air conditioning, and more! Car has never been restored or rebuilt. Sellers have owned this car since approximately 1970. Car was always well maintained and garaged. unfortunately, due to declining health, the car had not been used or maintained for the last 6-7 yrs. I have been given the task of getting the car running and driving and selling it for them. They tell me that when the car was still being used EVERYTHING on the car worked, even the air conditioning! Of course, after setting for several years, there were some problems that came up. I will be as open and honest as I can be when describing the car. If there is anything that I miss or if you have any questions feel free to ask. Also, I will send more pics upon request.
I have gone over this car pretty well, it is now running nearly perfectly, no smoke or noises from the engine. The transmission works well, shifts smoothly into all gears. Car rides smooth as glass with no rattles or squeaks. The interior is in amazing condition for a car that is over 50 years old. The rear seat still has the plastic cover on it from the factory, the front seat plastic cover was just removed about 10 years ago. There are no tears and almost no wear signs on anything inside this car. Even the original radio works like new! The body is in great shape, again, considering it is 50+ years old. It looks like the top side of the car along with the sides of the fenders have been repainted at some point. There are a few small scratches and dings. There is almost no rust on this car. The ONLY rust that the car has, is a small spot on the bottom side of the rocker panels in front of both rear wheels, and a small spot on the bottom of one fender just behind the front wheel (when I say small, I mean aprox. 3in circle). I have been working on old cars and doing rust repair for 20 years, and can honestly say, if there is an easy rust repair, this is it!!! All rust is lower than the chrome trim (not under it), so paint work could be kept below the trim. The brakes will need some attention before the car is 100%. They do work fine, after they get warmed up. Before they are warm they grab badly. I cleaned and inspected the brakes and they look to have had an overhaul recently, so I just cleaned and reassembled them, but they still grab. A new set of shoes should solve the problem. I also replaced all of the rubber brake lines. The tires are coker classics, new in 2004, they looks new, they show absolutely no signs of age or wear at all, only had to put in 5-10psi after they had sat for 6-7 years!
Just to be clear. I have only done what was needed to get the car back to running and mobile. I have driven the car down the road with no problems, but I am not saying that it is perfect and ready for a road trip.
list of what I have done
new battery, starter rebuilt, fuel system cleaned, carburetor rebuilt, fuel filter, oil and filter change, brakes cleaned and rubber hoses replaced, cleaned ignition points
complete list of known problems
brakes grab till warm, dome light only works with rear doors, air conditioning not working, right rear power window not working (closed and wont open), temp and fuel gauges not working.

Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
Chrysler recalls AWD 300, Charger, Ram 1500 over ZF transmission
Tue, 24 Dec 2013What do the Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Ram 1500 all have in common? Yes, they're all Chrysler products, and two of them are based on the same platform. And we're sure you could find more similarities between them all, but the common trait we're looking at here is that, while they all come standard in rear-drive form, they're also available with all-wheel drive. And it's the transmission in those models that's the subject of the latest recall notice issued by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The output shaft on the eight-speed automatic transmission supplied by ZF to Chrysler for the AWD versions of the 300, Charger and Ram 1500 is apparently prone to fracture. That in the end could leave the vehicle without power and could, according to the NHTSA investigation, increase the chance of a crash. The vehicle could also roll away if even if left in Park without the handbrake applied.
That's why Chrysler is calling in 4,194 examples of those three models from the 2013 model year. Dealers will be responsible for inspecting the transmissions and, where necessary, replace the entire unit. See the full recall notice below for all the details.
2013.5 Chrysler 200 S Special Edition is a Sebring swan song
Wed, 27 Mar 2013
The world is set to get an all-new Chrysler 200 next year, thereby finally putting the bones of the long-serving Sebring to rest. To tide us all over until then, the automaker has released the 2013.5 200 S Special Edition. As a collaboration between Chrysler and the Imported from Detroit clothing line, the sedan features plenty of aesthetic tweaks to give it a bit more attitude. Those include tinted headlamp and taillamp housings, body-color door sills and 18-inch gloss black wheels. There's also a revised front fascia with a black mesh grille, while the tail end gets a decklid spoiler and a revised valance.
Indoors, the seats are clad in black, water-resistant fabric courtesy of Carhartt. Expect to see the 2013.5 200 S Special Edition in dealers soon with a price tag of $28,870. While there are plenty of questions to be asked here, one is more nagging than the others. Why bother buying the special edition when an all-new model is mere months away? It's an age-old question, but it still bears asking. Check out the full press release below for more information.
