 Runs, drives, stops, clean title. 1966 New Yorker two door hard top, 118,000 miles.

Sold new in Los Angles, and was there until 2002 when it was bought to Wisconsin as a summer vehicle by a local collector.  He summered the car until 2010 when the reverse band broke in the transmission and he put the car into storage.  I bought the car from him in 2012 and put it in my garage and began working on it.  Life got in the way and I didn't work on it as much I had planned.  There it sat until a few months ago when I focused on it and got it back on the road.  So long story short, it spent most of it's life in Cali, and came to Wisconsin and was cared for.  It's never been driven in winter and subject to road salt.  It wasn't sitting in someones yard or field rotting away.


It still has the factory brake lines on it, and they are perfect.  The brake line fittings came off with open ended wrenches.

Ivory paint with black leather, bucket seats with fold down arm rest, power drivers seat, power windows, Air Conditioning, tinted glass, dual exhaust, power drum brakes, AM radio, 350 horsepower 440 cubic inch motor, 4 barrel carb, 727 Torqueflight automatic trans, 14 inch wheels with new tires

Solid California car. Still has most of the factory under coating still on it. Solid floors. Solid trunk. Solid rockers. Solid doors. One small rust hole behind one of the fender skirts, another small hole on the inside behind the rear wheel well. They don't get much more solid than this. The pictures show it missing two pieces of trim, I have those two pieces.

Was told by the previous owner that he had the heads redone and hardened valve seats installed.

I have done the following repairs:
Rebuilt the transmission,
New front and rear brakes (New drums, shoes, hardware, wheel cylinders, hoses, adjusters)
New front and rear shocks
New front wheel bearings
New rear axle bearings
New axle housing end (bearing failed and wrecked the housing end)
New upper ball joints, control arm bushings, bump stops
New inner and outer tie rod ends, idler arm, pitman arm
New wheel studs on the left side of the car (all wheel studs are now right hand thread)
New lower ball joints and lower bump stops
New motor mounts
New dipstick and tube
New master cylinder (replaced the original single piston MC with a 1967 Chrysler dual piston MC)
New spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor
New battery
Had it aligned after I did all the front end work

New R134a compatible AC Compressor, new receiver/drier, car was missing a couple lines when I got it and I am having those made now, as soon as I get them the system, will be hooked up and charged with freon.

A lot of extra parts including a bunch of NOS Chrysler parts included.

New custom door panels
Drivers seat recovered and re-padded
Rear seat bottom recovered and re-padded.
Passenger rear window doesn't work, it needs a motor.
Headliner is perfect
Dash pad is perfect

Mechanically it is 9.5/10
Interior is 9/10
Body is 8.5/10
Paint is 7/10

A great car with tons of potential to be a stunning car; or rock it as it is.  it's not the project that so many old cars turn into.  I've done all that. It's all there.  You can get in it and start enjoying it right away.  I have too many toys and not enough space. I am driving the car so the mileage will go up.  I spent all day yesterday washing it and waxing it.  It shined up real nice!  I also cleaned up the dash and vacuumed the carpets.  I will get some new pictures and post them tomorrow when it stops raining.

Chrysler 300 diesel could get green light

Wed, 03 Apr 2013

Word has it Chrysler is keen to shove its new turbo diesel V6 into a range of models. Wards Auto reports Chrysler President and CEO Saad Chehab has made it clear the automaker is investigating the possibility of using the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the 300. While speaking at an Automotive Press Association luncheon, Chehab said, "It's a matter of how much the customer is willing to pay for that premium. That's the only issue with it."
The Chrysler 300 is sold as the Lancia Thema in Europe complete with a diesel of its very own, and since the Jeep Grand Cherokee is now available with the diesel V6 here in the States, it only makes sense that the engine could potentially show up on the 300 order sheet. Opting for the 3.0 V6 in the Jeep Grand Cherokee will set you back an additional $4,500, however.
Chehab also said the engine could make an appearance in the next-generation Chrysler 200, which is set to debut next year.

Marchionne's FCA-GM merger might come after Ferrari spinoff

Sat, Sep 5 2015

Sergio Marchionne is continuing to rumble about working out a merger with General Motors, but don't expect anything big to happen before at least early next year. That's because Marchionne would likely wait for the Ferrari spin-off to be complete before beginning his next big deal, according to Automotive News. While the Ferrari IPO on the New York Stock Exchange is expected in the coming weeks, that only concerns 10 percent of the shares. The remaining 80 percent of stock is being distributed among shareholders in 2016. Piero Ferrari holds the final 10 percent with no intention to sell. This strategy allows FCA to claim 80 percent of the Prancing Horse's profits in the automaker's 2015 financial results. According to Automotive News, the tactic has other advantages, as well. FCA would be flush with cash by waiting for the spin-off to be complete, and it would keep Ferrari separate if a GM merger actually happens. Marchionne thinks Ferrari could be valued at over $11 billion in the IPO, and it could make FCA $3.3 billion richer when complete. Marchionne believes a combined FCA/GM could sell 17 million vehicles a year globally and rake in $30 billion in earnings. In the CEO's opinion, the two automakers are wasting money by developing components to do the same things on their vehicles. Although, so far the General's top execs are rebuffing all of his advances.

PSA reportedly ditching its two tiny gasoline city cars ahead of merger

Thu, Oct 15 2020

The Peugeot 108.   PARIS — PSA is ending the production of Peugeot and Citroen small city cars, three sources told Reuters, withdrawing from an increasingly unprofitable market as its starts a strategic review ahead of its planned merger with Fiat Chrysler. While PSA had already agreed to sell its stake in its Czech joint venture with Toyota where the Peugeot 108 and Citroen C1 models are made, the decision to stop selling the gasoline cars altogether has just been taken, the sources said. Carmakers are reviewing the production of vehicles with combustion engines as they need to fit costly exhaust filtering systems to meet tighter emissions laws. That's pushing up the cost of some so-called entry-level A segment cars to the point where they are hard to justify economically. "PSA is getting out of both the factory and the A segment business, as it is offered today, and on which manufacturers have arguably lost the most money in Europe," one of the sources familiar with the matter said. PSA declined to comment on the future of the two small cars. It said it was reviewing which products would best meet customer expectations in the A segment and cope with European carbon emissions targets. "This means a reflection with fresh and disruptive ideas," a spokesman for the French carmaker said. The European Commission is planning to tighten its emissions limits for cars under new proposals designed to cut the bloc's greenhouse gas output further by 2030. PSA's merger project with FCA has also increased the options available, two of the sources said, as the Italian-U.S. company has no intention of abandoning its small best-selling Panda and 500 models. Both already have hybrid versions and the 500 is also available in full electric mode. "Current projects could be replaced by new ones made possible by the merger with FCA", another source said. "The merger is turning all the cards around, especially when you consider that the A segment, from the very first 500 to the Panda, is inseparable from Fiat history". FCA declined to comment. PSA and FCA aim to finalize their merger in the first quarter next year to create a new company called Stellantis, which will be the fourth-biggest automaker in the world. Market contraction The European market for frugal city cars has been shrinking for several years.
