1974 New Yorker Brougham 2DRHT Survivor, was my dad's car, he bought it from the original owner here in the Reno/Sparks area. Has just over 78K miles, with original factory paint, code T5 Sienna Metallic, was going to install a new vinyl top before selling, but on a friends advice decided to leave it up to the new owner, as far as color choice etc. The factory top color was V1L which is Parchment or Beige. Also, by leaving the top off, you can see that besides a very thin surface rust, there is no major or minor rust on the roof or anywhere else. The 440 runs really nice, quiet, smooth and powerful. The 727 shifts perfect. I recently installed new front brake hoses and new semi-metallic brake pads, along with a new master cylinder, bled entire brake system, and installed a new idler arm. The front end still needs a little work, not sure what else it needs, maybe new strut rod bushings and sway bar bushings. It brakes extremely well with the new S/Met pads though. The interior needs some upholstery work on the driver's side seat, but the rest of the seats are just beautiful and still soft, even the top of the rear seat backs are still soft! One power window does not work, the passenger rear quarter window. The driver's window jiggles a bit when lowered, the window guide post needs to be lubricated. The top of the dash pad discolored after i cleaned it, but it can be re-dyed as it's still pretty soft. The driver's door arm rest has a cover on it that my dad installed to cover a crack i believe. My dad recharged the A/C, but it lost the charge over time. The cruise control works. It is a very loaded car, with Power Windows, A/C, Cruise, Tilt/Tele, Power Trunk Release, Rear Window Defogger, Light package, 6 Way Power Driver's seat, Power door locks, AM/FM 8-Track Stereo, LED Warning lights, ( one of the first Detroit cars to have them along with the gauges), Chrome Styled Road Wheels, etc. I have the build sheet and the original owner's manual. I polished the paint with Meguiar's products by hand, but i think that with a buffer, the paint will look spectacular for original factory paint from 1974. This car is coded on the build sheet as having "show car finish". There are a couple of very small dents, they are in close up pics. The chrome is still very nice, and still original. I hate to sell this car, but i already have too much to do and can't spend the time it so much deserve's. If you have any questions or want more pictures, please message me through ebay, and i'll send them to your e-mail. As with any vintage car, especially a survivor like this one, it's not perfect and will need some restoration work, but not nearly as much as most. Of course, it is sold as-is. Thanks for looking.

Chrysler Uconnect gets dealer-activated navigation, new infotainment features
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Get in just about any mid-level Chrysler product these days, and you'll see a touchscreen head unit that would be perfect for a navigation system. The only thing is that some of these cars equipped with the head unit for Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system were not optioned up with navigation at the time of purchase, leaving drivers looking for turn-by-turn directions relying on either an aftermarket nav system or a smartphone. Starting on select new Chrysler products, however, customers with Uconnect will now be able to upgrade to navigation as a dealer-activated option.
Announced at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, this new element of Uconnect will allow owners to have an in-dash navigation system installed quickly and easily; Chrysler said that this will be a major benefit for used-car buyers. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like this system will be retroactive on previous Uconnect head units, but it will launch this year on the 2013 Ram 1500, 2013 SRT Viper and the 2014 Fiat 500L. Chrysler did not announce the expected MSRP to have dealers activate the navigation capabilities.
Another infotainment option for Chrysler buyers is the Uconnect Access system that can allow WiFi, voice text messaging, emergency assistance, remote vehicle operation (such as starting the engine or locking/unlocking the doors) and limited POI searches using Bing. Also introduced at CES, the new Uconnect Access via Mobile system builds on this by allowing users to add in-car apps such as iHeart Radio, Pandora and Slacker by connecting to the system via a smartphone. This system will first be offered on the 2013 Ram and Viper.
Share price falls on skepticism of Chrysler-Fiat five-year plan
Thu, 08 May 2014Following this week's Fiat Chrysler extravaganza, where the Italian-American manufacturer announced its plans for the next five years, the Autoblog staff was cautiously optimistic of the company's future. Investors? Not so much.
Fiat saw its shares tumble 12 percent in Wednesday's trading, falling from 8.67 euros ($12.06 at today's rates) to 7.44 euros ($10.35) as of this writing, with blame partly going to the Italian half of the FCA marriage, which recorded a pretty significant drop in profits during the first quarter of this year.
The plan, which will cost around $77 billion over the next several years, is facing criticism from investors thanks in part to a 1.4-percent drop in Fiat's first-quarter profits, to 622 million euros ($862 million). That figure is also short of Bloomberg analysts' projections, which predicted $1.18 billion in profits before taxes, interest and one-time items.
FCA recalls over 200k Jeep Cherokees for windshield wiper static
Tue, Sep 1 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is issuing a recall for over 200,000 versions of the 2014 Jeep Cherokee due to a problem with static buildup disabling the windshield wipers. FCA has identified 158,671 units in the United States. Another 18,366 vehicles are estimated to be affected in Canada, a further 3,582 in Mexico, and 26,049 outside of North America. The problem, according to the first statement below, results from static building up if the wipers are operated in dry conditions. The static could mess with the wipers' control module, rendering them disabled. To fix the problem, dealers will be instructed to install a ground strap to the module. In parallel, FCA is also offering incentives to the owners of certain trucks that were subject to recall but for which remedies were not immediately available. To encourage those owners to bring their older vehicles in for the required service, the automaker will disperse $100 prepaid cards for use at their discretion. The program is offered to owners of certain model year Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Liberty, Chrysler Aspen, and Dodge Durango sport-utility vehicles, as well as certain Dodge Dakota and Ram trucks. Owners of the affected Grand Cherokees will have the option instead to take a $1,000 consideration toward the purchase of a new vehicle or for parts and service. The offers are only being extended under certain specific criteria, though. So if you think that could be you, you'll want to read through the conditions in the second announcement below. STATEMENT: CONTROL MODULE August 31, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is recalling an estimated 158,671 SUVs in the U.S. to help protect their control modules from static buildup that may potentially disable the vehicles' windshield wipers. An investigation by FCA US discovered static buildup may occur if the vehicles' windshield wipers are activated during dry conditions. Significant static buildup may affect a control module that powers the wipers. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Affected are model-year 2014 Jeep Cherokee SUVs. An estimated 18,366 vehicles will be recalled in Canada, as will an estimated 3,582 in Mexico and 26,049 outside the NAFTA region. Dealers will install a ground strap to the control module to eliminate the potential for static buildup. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed at no cost.
