The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

For sale is a 1962 Chrysler New Yorker 4-dr Sedan. The documentation I received with the car outlines 4 previous owners, though I cannot be certain that the documentation is complete. I have owned the car since May of 2011, at which point the odometer read about 33,000 miles. Over the course of my ownership, I have made a few minor repairs/improvements, but mostly just driven and enjoyed the car, which is currently licensed and insured and driven approximately once a week. During my ownership, it has been garage kept.

The engine is the original 413 ci v8 rated at 340 hp and 470 ft-lbs torque. The transmission is the original Torqueflite 727 3-speed, followed by a 2.93:1 rear axle. I have records indicating replacement of the water pump, thermostat, and basic tuneup items. I rebuilt the original Carter AFB 4-barrel carburetor. The engine is strong, with very little blowby, excellent responsiveness, near-silent operation, and 13-mpg average fuel economy. It is so smooth and quiet that it often feels like it has stopped running at traffic lights. Cosmetically, the finish on the engine is in poor condition, but there are no major fluid leaks. I wouldn't hesitate to drive cross-country.

In addition to the carburetor rebuild, I installed a pair of new Eaton Detroit Spring rear leaf springs arched for stock ride height and adjusted the front torsion bars to specification. At purchase, a set of Imperial springs had been installed on the car, which gave incorrect ride height and stiffness. I inspected the brake system and had the dual-diaphragm power booster rebuilt. Braking performance is excellent. Also new are all 4 tires, which I replaced with correct BF Goodrich Silvertown 8.50-14 bias-plys from Coker Tire. The fuel tank was removed and relined with KBS Coatings product.

At some point, the body was given what appears to have been an inexpensive respray. The trim was not removed, but masked off. Prior to my ownership, the car sat outside in full sun for several years, which has faded and oxidized the paint on top of the hood, roof, trunk, and other upward-facing areas. There are a few minor spots of the first signs of corrosion near the chrome and stainless trim on the car. There has been moisture in the trunk, which at some point was brushed with a red paint, but there is no rust through there or anywhere on the body that I have found. The original undercoat still covers the underside of the car. There is minor body damage on the passenger front fender where a close swipe must have pulled the side Chrysler emblem off the fender, leaving a shallow dent and somewhat flattening the stainless trim around the wheel arch. There is a shallow dent under the driver side taillight, and a more noticeable dent in the rear bumper. Otherwise, the body is straight and solid.

The dash pad and upholstery have also suffered from the solar exposure; the pad has some cracks and a sun-burned texture on the top surfaces and the upholstery is faded and the seams have separated as it has become dry and fairly brittle. Needless to say, these items would need to be renewed for the interior to present well. All of the metalwork and paint inside the car are in good condition. The chrome could use polish but should shine up very nicely. The headliner is excellent, as is all glass.

Overall, this car is an unmolested, mostly original example of the '62 New Yorker. It was initially delivered in Schenectady, NY to a lady who clearly seldom drove it. The driver door jamb wears two Texaco stickers from 1978 and 1979, bearing the odometer readings 32422 and 32674, respectively. It currently reads 39342, and knowing its history back to 2003, and given the operational refinement of the chassis and drivetrain, I believe that to be actual mileage. I haven't driven a new '62 New Yorker, but I can't imagine that this car's ride, handling, power, braking, comfort, and refinement have significantly deteriorated. It is a pleasure to drive. I have chosen to sell it in order to focus on another classic project. A modest investment in restoration would yield a like-new car to be enjoyed for years to come. I have a clear NC title in my own name.

I will be happy to show the car and give test drives to interested local parties. If you would like more information or to talk on the phone, please contact me through Ebay.

The buyer will need to make arrangements to come pick up the car in the Raleigh, NC area within 1 week of purchase. I will require a Paypal deposit of $200 within 24 hours of purchase; the remainder can be paid in cash upon collection of the vehicle.

Thanks for your interest!

Aurora lands Fiat Chrysler as a client of its self-driving technology

Mon, Jun 10 2019

SAN FRANCISCO — Self-driving car software startup Aurora said on Sunday it would partner with Fiat Chrysler to build autonomous platforms for commercial vehicles, the latest collaboration with an automaker for the fast-growing Silicon Valley company. The deal with one of the Detroit Three will expand Aurora's scope, "allowing us to offer a variety of solutions to strategic customers in logistics, transit and other use cases," the Palo Alto, California-based company said in a brief statement. Besides for ride-hailing fleets, automakers and others are interested in self-driving technology for commercial applications, such as delivery vans. Financial terms were not disclosed. Aurora already has partnerships with Volkswagen AG, Hyundai and China's Byton to develop and test self-driving systems for a range of applications for automakers, fleet owners and others. The company is among dozens of startups, automakers and large technology companies working on self-driving car systems, eager to capitalize on a sea change in the transportation industry brought by developments in machine learning. Fiat Chrysler has an existing partnership with Waymo, Alphabet's self-driving unit, in which it supplies Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans for Waymo's driverless fleet, which is currently in operation in Arizona. In February, Aurora said it had raised $530 million in new funding.

Hellcrate 6.2-liter V8 delivers plug-and-play Hellcat hype to SEMA

Mon, Oct 30 2017

SEMA just provided another entry for the folder marked "What A Time To Be Alive," with Mopar's announcement of the "Hellcrate" 6.2-liter supercharged Crate HEMI engine. Enthusiasts have been desperate to upgrade their vintage rides with the woozy thrills provided by Dodge's Hellcat motor, so Mopar answered. The Hellcrate engine assembly ships in plug-and-play configuration, in specially designed packaging with "Hellcrate" logos. The assembly sells separately from the Hellcrate engine kit, the kit adding a powertrain control module, power distribution center, engine wiring harness, chassis harness, accelerator pedal, ground jumper, oxygen sensors, charge air temperature sensors, and fuel pump control module. The PCM comes programmed with the production-car engine's 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque. An optional front-end accessory drive kit contributes peripherals like alternator, power steering pump, belts, and pulleys. Don't bother trying to lash up a sleeper 1997 Chrysler Sebring, though; Mopar tuned the Hellcrate for pre-1976 vehicles and manual transmissions. The engine assembly retails for an MSRP of $19,530, and the kit wants a further $2,195. Mopar didn't announce pricing for the accessory drive kit. The engine and kit come with a three-year, unlimited-mileage warranty when bought together. The Mopar Hemi Crate website will be happy to take your orders as of now. For help envisioning the possibilities, stop by Fiat Chrysler's 15,345-square-foot SEMA booth to check out the Limelight Green, Hellcrate-powered 1970 Plymouth Superbird clone worked up by Mark Worman of Velocity's " Graveyard Carz." While you're there you might as well peep Worman's encore, a 1968 Plymouth GTX stuffed with Mopar's 392 Crate HEMI in place of the original 440 big block, and the 1937 Dodge pickup that swallowed a Mopar 345 Crate HEMI. Mopar's come a long way from its original product: antifreeze products. Tomorrow it'll be Jeep's turn to ring the SEMA bells, once the noise dies down from the Mopar-jacked Wrangler Switchback, CJ66 and Jeep Shortcut. You can watch the brand's presentation online at 7:26 p.m. ET/4:26 p.m. PT. Until then, we're going to work the angles on a Hellcrate-powered Plymouth Volare. The sedan, naturally. Because we're practical. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes

Sun, Jul 26 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.
