1967 Chrysler New Yorker Garage Kept Two Owner Rock Solid Coupe on 2040-cars
Wallkill, New York, United States
Here we have a 1967 new yorker that I purchased from a past neighbor of mine.I remember this car when I was a kid growing up. Bob is 81 now and getting his affairs in order, none of his kids want the old clunker and bob knowing that I have a love affair with vintage cars contacted me to see if I was interested in her.I went to his house and sure enough there it sits.Bob tells me that he is the second owner and the miles that are on the odometer are true miles and not turned over but there is no proof . Bob has always kept it registered and insured but has not used it in a few years.truth be told, I purchased this car for the sole purpose of making a profit. My love affair is with 50's cars [I have two] and prewar packards.This garage kept chrysler has no rot and I don't believe it ever did but it does have some small bubbling under the vinyl top on the drivers side that I will show in some pictures.There is none around the rear window.The car has been repainted for reasons unknown and the drivers door has a small area of previous body work-vinyl top is still in great condition-britework is still pleasing to the eye.interior is very nice with wear on the drivers seat as well as the rear seat that I will show in some pictures.The headliner is excellent with no tears or sag and the dash has some cracks and splits. The steering wheel is fine with no splits. factory radio unfortunately has been replaced . Original wheels and hubcaps M.I.A . Now if I were to keep this I would go thru this front to back-pull the wheels and redo brakes/wheel cylinders/repack wheel bearings/change brake lines/hoses/ all belts/coolant hoses/ fuel lines/ tune up/ inspect rear axle bearings/ujoints/ transmission flush and filter change/flush radiator with a new thermostat/flush power steering system/ grease every fitting/ inspect water pump/ etc etc. If your looking to get into a vintage car cheaply this might be you.Now for all you folks that ask me if I think the car will make it to your destination if you decide to fly in and drive it home my answer is your nut's-I did that once when I purchased an old lincoln from the carlise pa fall swap meet. since i was only 235 miles away I chanced it since the car was in excellent shape with low miles. well about 100 miles into the trip the car started to backfire under load-I did make it home but swore I would never do that again.plan on trailering this please!! I took the car for a short ride and the car goes down the road nicely-it is cold blooded and needs to warm up,but once it is ready to go it runs nice/shifts/stops nicely and goes down the road straight. This car needs to be used and it still needs some odds and ends such as the rear windows don't go down but the motors are working so the rear panels need to be pulled to see whats going on. The drivers window goes down but needs a little help going back up.The bottom line is this car needs some work but you can use it and work on it as needed.I will be posting pictures later on this evening. if you would rather talk then email[I prefer talking] my # is 845-863-6327 Steve. Now I have plenty of room to store this car until you can find a reasonable/knowledgable shipper-no need to panic and find a poor shipper because you think the car needs to be moved quickly-DO YOUR HOMEWORK TO FIND THE RIGHT MOVER!!- I have seen some hacks and butchers from the USHIP WEBSITE so take your time!! no paypal please and ALL CHECKS NEED AMPLE TIME TO CLEAR- clear registration still in bobs name ready to be handed over to the new buyer- a buffing and cleaning will do wonders-- I have more pics available-just ask

Fiat Chrysler and Renault are in advanced partnership talks
Sun, May 26 2019Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Renault are in advanced discussions about a possible alliance, according to a report from the Financial Times citing an anonymous "person familiar with the matter." The news isn't particularly surprising, as FCA has been a constant subject of merger and alliance talks for as long as many of us can remember. We've reported on a potential tie-up between these two automakers several times, as far back as 2008 and as recently as two months ago. FCA CEO Mike Manley has mentioned the company's openness to merging with another automaker. At the Geneva Motor Show a few months back, he said, "We have a strong independent future, but if there is a partnership, a relationship or a merger which strengthens that future, I will look at that." It's no secret that FCA is much stronger in the United States than it is in Europe. For its part, Renault has basically zero presence in the United States. A partnership or potential alliance between the two could shore up each automaker's weak spots and allow the group to split investment money into new technologies, including electric vehicles and autonomy. Of course, Renault is already tied up with Nissan and Mitsubishi, but that partnership has been a little tattered since the arrest of former Nissan and Renault CEO Carlos Ghosn on charges of financial misconduct in Japan. And in addition to Renault, FCA is understood to have discussed various partnership strategies with the PSA Peugeot Citroen group. What a final agreement – if there's any agreement at all – could look like between the two global automakers remains to be seen, and the report from Financial Times cautions that many different options for FCA and Renault are currently on the table. In other words, stay tuned.
Dodge Viper production to end after 2017
Tue, Jun 21 2016We can't say we're surprised, but we're still saddened to report that the Dodge Viper will not live on past the 2017 model year. It's had a solid 25-year run, though, and that's worth celebrating. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles does just that for the Viper's final model year, with five special editions (some of which seem less special than others, admittedly): The 1:28 Edition ACR, GTS-R Commemorative Edition ACR, VoooDoo II Edition ACR, Snakeskin Edition GTC, and Dodge Dealer Edition ACR. Instead of running through what makes each of these 2017 Vipers special, we'll direct your attention to the press release below and the images above. All but the Dodge Dealer Edition commemorate memorable Viper models of the past 25 years, and the GTS-R is probably the pick of the litter with its classic blue-on-white paint scheme. Unless you prefer to err on the side of gaudy, in which case Dodge has you (and your car) covered with Snakeskin Green. If none of these special-edition Viper models strikes your fancy but you'd still like to park a 2017 Viper in your garage, fret not. Dodge is still offering its "1 of 1" customization program for the Viper's final year of production. Finally, instead of dwelling on the past, even when that past is as exciting as the Viper's, let's choose to look to the future with the only logical question left unanswered: What's next?

Forget the stupid millennial pitch, the Chrysler Portal Concept is full of good ideas
Wed, Jan 4 2017Chrysler's statements on the Portal Concept are heavy on the millennial, as we previously mentioned. And as such, the six-passenger people hauler shown at CES 2017 has all the elements of a concept for the m-word generation - connectivity, cameras, and plenty of items with a "modular" adjective on them. But put aside the tired idea that millennials are different from other car shoppers for a moment, because the Portal Concept boasts a bunch of great design ideas that anyone would appreciate. The thing is that millennials are the widest chunk of population in the United States. As such, they're hard to define. It seems like someone at Chrysler realizes this, as the press release for the Portal states: "While millennials are a broad group of consumers at varying life stages, the Chrysler Portal concept is designed and engineered with all life stages and lifestyles in mind, including active/adventure, single, married/partnered, those with newborns and older children." In other words, this is a vehicle designed for all kinds of people that suits all kinds of needs. Spoiler alert: The best package for flexible hauling of people and cargo is a minivan. And that's what the Portal Concept is, albeit slightly smaller than the current Pacifica. Chrysler Portal Concept View 20 Photos It's an obvious angle, as Chrysler popularized the modern minivan. But with current vans ballooning in size, there's room for the same virtues in a smaller footprint. If it takes 360-degree cameras and a customizable light ring around the doors to convince people that a flat floor and movable seats are cool, so be it. It's the practical aspects of the Portal that we like best, not the throwaway concessions to connectivity and autonomy. The best, most practical feature in the Portal is its seating arrangement. The seats ride on two parallel tracks, and each folds skinny with the seat pan popping vertical, or low with the seatback down. All (save the driver's bucket) slide back for room in front, or vice versa for space in the rear. Integrated seatbelts further help the seating flexibility. Even in a more realistic production form this is a clever innovation, almost as good as the original Stow 'N' Go. The same goes for the panoramic, high-mount screen that shows the dashboard and a host of other informative bits of data.
