1962 Chrysler New Yorker Base 6.7l on 2040-cars
Holly, Michigan, United States
GENERAL: Very nice original 1962 Chrysler New Yorker. While not considered a "classic", this vehicle is still a great looking car of the care-free early sixties. Her name is Ethyl (though you can rename her). Vehicle has been owned by me and garage stored (covered) for the last 7 years. This was a running and driving car with working everything when I last used it. But that was a while ago. I haven't started the engine in a few years. So the only thing wrong with the car would be time and lack of use. Please review the pictures. Contact me with any or all questions and I will try to answer them.
EXTERIOR: The car has no visible rust. There are a few small bubble spots. Also some flaking/rub areas were the paint is off from the metal. Paint is Rosewood (taupey pink color). The paint on the sides of the vehicle is in better shape than the top surfaces. The hood and trunk surfaces have had the paint marred. It is cloudy and scratched up. It looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing took an orbital polisher to the surface. This is a very solid car. All trim is present. All doors, hood and trunk panels fit well and close tight. The Chrysler New Yorker emblem in the front grill is missing. Reproduction emblems can be ordered online. Radio antenna has been removed/broken (?) off. But is still with vehicle and fits back on the exterior mount. Rear Glass has been previously replaced.
INTERIOR: The interior is in overall good shape but upholstery needs cleaning. Of coarse smells musty due to age. There is one tear w/ tape on it on the drivers seat back cushion at the bottom. Headliner has holes: middle by sun visors, by passenger side front and rear, and in the rear back on both sides. Carpet has the normal wear and tear and looks like it has properly been replaced. Dash/Odometer has the clear dome panel..Pushbutton Transmission Gears. All switches and buttons are present and working.
ENGINE: Engine is a 413. The times I've run it, it wants to go like a bat out of hell. I never did any work on the engine and can't tell you much about it. Battery should have been disconnected, but was not.
CONCERNS: Tires: Probably need replacement. I'm not sure how old they are. They went flat from sitting, but when filled they hold the air again. Exhaust: The exhaust has a plastic/rubber tube in place of an exhaust pipe. Fuel: The previous owner was out of gas to show/run the vehicle, so he put some mix (oil/gas) in instead. Vehicle exhausted black smoke. The fuel tank would probably need to be drained/cleaned.
EXTRAS: There are several spare parts in a box. There are two rear taillight lenses and one taillight chrome bracket trim. 2 Chrome trim pieces - not really sure where they go. Carpet fabric for trunk. Extra chrome vent strips. Repair/Service Manual Build sheet & Paint Color Chart Owner Manual

Payment is to be received within 10 days. Vehicle must be removed within two weeks of auction end. Once payment is made the sale will be final.

Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8
Wed, 23 Oct 2013One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
Ram confirms Fiat Ducato vans to form new Promaster series for US
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Chrysler has officially confirmed that Ram will develop an all-new large van for the US market based on the Fiat Ducato. The commercial rig will go on sale in the third quarter of next year, joining the Ram C/V on the company's professional van line. Expect to see the Promaster face off against the Ford Transit and revised Chevrolet Express.
Chrysler is pretty skimpy on details when it comes to the Promaster, but it has said the vehicle will make use of "familiar Ram Truck styling cues." The van will reportedly also bow with powertrains targeted specifically at the North American market.
Chrysler and Ram made the announcement ahead of the LA Auto Show alongside news that the company will launch a new Ram commercial truck division.
Four-horse race opens up for next Chrysler-Fiat CEO
Mon, 16 Dec 2013
There are some companies that could change leadership overnight and still remain more or less the operations that they are. But some have built themselves up around one central figure. Just ask Carlos Tavares, who found he couldn't escape the long shadow of Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. Tavares recently left to find his own limelight. But Ghosn isn't the only executive who presides over two disparate automakers on opposite ends of the globe.
Having built up Fiat and Chrysler around himself, we can hardly imagine either automaker getting along without Sergio Marchionne. But the day will come when the famously sweater-clad bigwig will step down. The pressing questions remain when when that day will come, and who will take his place. The only solid clues we have are in the statements made mostly by Marchionne himself, but those statements have been all over the place. When speaking to Automotive News in 2012, he said he would step down "no earlier than 2013, no later than 2015." But a year later, he had already seemingly changed his tune, indicating he could still be at the helm in 2016. Fiat chairman John Elkann seems to think Marchionne, 61, could and should stay on longer.
