1966 CHRYSLER NEW YORKER TOWN SEDAN
History
The introduction of the all new 1965
Chrysler line featured ads proclaiming “The most beautiful Chrysler ever built,
Agreed?” The lineup was the first effort of a new to Chrysler designer, Elwood
Engel, who had defected from Ford in 1961. He had designed the elegant 1961
The 1966 Chrysler New Yorker Town Sedan featured in this auction sold new at Knauz Chrysler Plymouth in Lake Forest Illinois to a gentleman named James Mannino. He and his wife used it as their driver car until 2007. They drove this as their everyday car for 41 years! It is still a Nice Car! Jim passed away and ownership went to his stepson. I bought it from him in May 2008. Both license plate frames and a keychain from the selling dealer are included as well as all of the original keys. The car is equipped with Power steering and brakes, Air conditioning, working factory AM/FM Radio with rear seat speaker, Power trunk release, remote drivers mirror, rear window defroster, power windows, 6 way Power seat and air shocks. Everything is operational except the air is not as cold as it should be.
Condition
This is a Nice garage kept car. The car runs, drives and stops great! When I bought it the passenger side front fender and hood were damaged. Other than that the car is nice original paint. I installed a used fender and hood and repainted the top of the front fenders and the hood. The hood is slightly warped from the sandblasting process. There is a scrape and some rust down low on the passenger side quarter panel and a few small bubbles elsewhere. I can find no other rust on this car. The front seat was rebuilt and recovered in incorrect materials. The rest of the interior and trunk are in beautiful original condition. It still sports its original Goodyear Power Cushion spare tire and jack. The really good news about this car is the mechanicals! They always had the car serviced at the Chrysler dealer. There is a complete paper history of this car starting at day one! They spent in excess of $10,000.00 on this car from 2001 to 2007! All of the receipts are included. Its original 440 engine was sent off by the Chrysler dealer to Jasper Engines and Transmissions for a factory rebuild, they also did the A/C system, brakes to include new parking brake cables etc. The list goes on… I just put on 4 new all season Radial tires. I have included a photo of the Jasper rebuild tag on the engine block. It does not use any oil between the 3,000 mile oil change intervals! I have personally driven this car over 12,000 miles in the last 6 years including three trips to the Fall AACA Hershey car meet. The current mileage is 147,154. You can really drive this Chrysler anywhere with confidence.

FCA seeks partner to keep building Dodge Dart, Chrysler 200
Wed, Mar 9 2016Mere weeks after FCA announced it was shutting down production of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200, new hope emerges to give the sedans a stay of execution. Speaking at the Geneva Motor Show last week, Sergio Marchionne said that the company was looking for a partner "who is better at it than we are and who has got capacity available" in order to continue building the models on its behalf. "There are discussions going on now," said Marchionne, according to Motor Trend. "I think we will find a solution. We continue to talk. It's both a technical solution and an economic one. We need to find a solution that works economically." Contracting vehicles to be manufactured offsite is more common practice among European automakers than it is with American ones. Chrysler's former patron Mercedes, for example, has the G-Class built for it by Magna Steyr in Austria, the A-Class by Valmet in Finland, and the R-Class by AM General in Indiana (even though it's no longer sold in the US). This arrangement would, on the surface at least, appear more similar to the deal that Toyota struck with Mazda to build the Scion iA, drawing on the contractor's expertise and capacity to build the small sedan on the client company's behalf. Only rather than basing a new model on one of the partner's existing ones, this deal would ostensibly continue building FCA models on FCA platforms using FCA components. We'll have to wait to find out with whom FCA strikes up the manufacturing deal, but we wouldn't be surprised to see Marchionne turn to a partner he already knows. The company is, after all, at the center of an intricate web of joint ventures and manufacturing contracts. The Fiat 124 Spider, for example, is built by Mazda. The Fiat Sedici that preceded the 500X was built by Suzuki. Models like the Dodge Stealth and Eagle Talon were built in Illinois at the Diamond-Star Motors joint venture before Mitsubishi took it over altogether. And Dodge continued selling the Mercedes-made Sprinter long after DaimlerChrysler split. The Ram ProMaster, though built by FCA in Mexico for the North American market, stems from a partnership in France with PSA Peugeot Citroen. And the ProMaster City is built in a joint-venture plant in Turkey, from which it's also sold by GM as an Opel in Europe and a Vauxhall in the UK. With all those deals coming and going, after all, what would one more add to the complexity?
Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
For some, getting a Fiat 500e last week was almost free
Sun, Mar 22 2015Auto-racing clubs know a thing or two about moving fast. And a couple of them out in California appeared to do just that when a bunch of incentives for the Fiat 500e electric vehicle added up to a pretty sweet deal. Actually, a borderline free one. Green Car Reports was kind enough to do the math on the calculation of an $83-a-month, three-year lease deal on that included a $2,100 perk and required an $11,000 downpayment on the $32,000 car. California and federal government incentives for EVs cut that downpayment down to $1,000 out of pocket once the incentives ($7,500 from the feds, $2,500 from the state) were factored in by the leasing company. Then, Fiat-Chrysler was throwing in another $1,000 for folks who were leasing a car from another car company, hence the freebie. That means some lucky people, at least temporarily, were able to work basically a zero-downpayment agreement for a three-year lease on a car whose monthly payment is the equivalent of about two full tanks of gas. Once word of those perks got around to some California racing clubs, about 100 500e vehicles to be moved off of California lots during the past week or so. Plugged in, indeed.
