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!

Murdered-out minivan: 2018 Chrysler Pacifica gets new S package

Wed, Oct 11 2017

Minivans are generally considered cool in an ironic sort of way. No one drives a Honda Odyssey or Chrysler Pacifica because it's hip. People drive minivans because no other type of vehicle offers such a good mix of fuel economy, practicality and space efficiency. Still, automakers are doing their damndest to make sure kids set sail from school in the best-looking breadbox around. In order to spice things up, Chrysler is now offering the S appearance package on the Pacifica. Chrysler offers a similar package on the 300. On the Pacifica, the $595 S package can be added to any Touring Plus, Touring L, Touring L Plus or Limited models. The Pacifica S gets gloss black accents on the front and rear fascias including the grille, headlights and rear valance. The Chrysler wing badges on the front and rear are both done up in gloss black. A black roof rack is optional on the Touring Plus and standard on all other trims. 18-inch wheels are standard while 20-inch wheels can be added to any S-equipped car for an additional $995. The interior gets blacks seats with grey accents and the S logo. The steering wheel gets grey stitching and piano black accents, while the instrument cluster and door panels get trim in what Chrysler is calling Anodized Ice Cave. Really, it just looks like a different shade of grey. The front overhead console, headliner, visors, second- and third-row cargo lighting bezel, A-pillar trim and center console are all done up in black. Other changes for 2018 include standard SafetyTec, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto on all models. 4G LTE WiFi will be optional. 2018 Chrysler Pacificas will hit dealer showrooms in the next few months.

Fiat Chrysler to pay $800M in Jeep, Ram emissions cheating case

Thu, Jan 10 2019

WASHINGTON — Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV has agreed to a settlement worth about $800 million to resolve claims from the U.S. Justice Department and state of California that it used illegal software that produced false results on diesel-emissions tests, but still faces an ongoing criminal probe. The hefty penalty is the latest fallout from the U.S. government's stepped-up enforcement of vehicle emissions rules after Volkswagen AG admitted in September 2015 to intentionally evading emissions rules. The Fiat Chrysler settlement includes $311 million in total civil penalties to U.S. and California regulators, up to $280 million to resolve claims from diesel owners, and extended warranties worth $105 million. It covers 104,000 Fiat Chrysler 2014-16 Ram 1500 and Jeep Grand Cherokee diesels, the Justice Department said. Regulators said Fiat Chrysler used "defeat devices" to cheat emissions tests in real-world driving. Fiat Chrysler said in a statement that "the settlements do not change the Company's position that it did not engage in any deliberate scheme to install defeat devices to cheat emissions tests." The company did not admit liability. "You wouldn't pay $311 million total dollars to the federal government in civil penalties if there were not a serious problem," U.S. assistant attorney general Jeff Clark told a news conference. The settlement also includes $72.5 million for state civil penalties, and $33.5 million in payments to California to offset excess emissions and consumer claims. German auto supplier Robert Bosch GmbH, which provided the emissions control software for the vehicles, also agreed to pay $27.5 million to resolve claims from diesel owners. Owners will receive an average of $2,800 to obtain software updates as part of the emissions recall, Fiat Chrysler said. Elizabeth Cabraser, a lawyer for the owners, said the "substantial cash compensation" will ensure that consumers get the recall fix. Bosch, which also provided diesel emissions software to Volkswagen, also agreed to pay $103.5 million to settle claims with 47 U.S. states that said the supplier "enabled" the cheating and should have known its customers would use the software improperly, the New York Attorney General's Office said.

UAW turns its focus to Fiat Chrysler, which may resist more than Ford did

Tue, Nov 19 2019

DETROIT — The United Auto Workers union on Monday turned its bargaining focus to Fiat Chrysler, raising the possibility of another strike against a Detroit automaker. Ford workers ratified their contract Friday night, while the union settled with General Motors last month after a 40-day strike by 49,000 workers that shut down the companyÂ’s U.S. production. Ford, which has 55,000 UAW workers, mostly followed the pattern agreement set at GM. But industry analysts say the same deal will cost Fiat Chrysler a lot more money because of the makeup of its workforce. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley said recently that automakers are in “different conditions” in terms of labor forces, hinting the company may be reluctant to follow the pattern. The union, however, expects FCA to follow the template set by GM and Ford. “We look forward to bargaining a fair, balanced and patterned contract as FCA is a profitable company,” the UAW said in a statement. “You cannot brag about your earnings to Wall Street and at the same time ignore the sacrifice of your workforce that put you in that profitable position.” The deal with Ford and GM gives workers hired after 2007 pay raises so they reach top UAW production wages within four years. It also gives temporary workers a path to full-time jobs within three years. Workers hired after 2007 now are paid lower wages than workers hired before that, even though theyÂ’re doing the same jobs. Workers hired before 2007 get a mix of annual pay raises and lump sum payments. Fiat Chrysler has more workers hired after 2007, and a higher percentage of temporary workers than either Ford or GM. That means the terms of the contract would cost the company more money, said Kristin Dziczek, vice president of labor and manufacturing with the Center for Automotive Research, an industry think tank in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “They are looking at significant cost increases,” Dziczek said of FCA. She says a strike against FCA isnÂ’t out of the question, and depends on how willing the company is to follow the pattern set by Ford and GM. FCA said in a statement it welcomes bargaining toward a deal to keep investing in the companyÂ’s future and creating opportunities for employees and communities. Ford has about 18,500 workers hired after 2007 who will get big pay raises with the new contract, compared with GM's 17,000. But Fiat Chrysler has over 20,000 union employees hired after 2007.
