For sale here is a great running and driving, and rare 1962 Chrysler Newport convertible.  There were only 2051 Chrysler Newport convertibles produced in 1962.  The styling of these cars is very unique and desireable. 

This '62 Newport has 90,883 miles on the odometer and runs and stops great.  It starts right up and has plenty of power from the 361 V-8.  The push-button transmission works well.  Its really a joy to drive this one around town with the top down. 

The body is pretty nice.  There is a repairable seem on the very bottom edge of the passenger's side rocker.  The bottom front fender tip behind the passenger's side front wheel is a little off-looking also, but each of these blemishes is hardly noticeable while using the car.  The paint shows well and the chrome is good.  The stainless is also good.  The glass is in nice shape as well.  The top does need a new rear plastic window due to UV discoloration.  A previous owner removed the old window for visibility.  Its the zip-in type.  The top must currently be operated manually.  This top does go up and down very easily and quickly manually.  It seals out the wind pretty well too.  The top vinly is im good condition.  Decent riding radials and nice hubcaps.  The door jambs will have to be painted the correct hue of blue.  A previous owner repainted the car and the door jambs and trunk seal channel are a different shade.

The underside is in good shape with some usual and expected surface rust present.  The car does ride smoothly.  The trunk floor appears to have had some repair in the past. 

The interior is in great shape.  The seats are nice and very comfortable.  The dash is nice and the guages are clear.  Nice door panels.  Seat belts in the car operate.  The doors open and shut OK as does the hood and trunk.

The following items are working: headlights, taillights, brake lights, rear turn signals, front left turn signal, passenger wiper, all windows, amp meter, temp ga, heater and blower, radio.  The following are not currently working: right front blinker, driver's wiper, horn, fuel ga, speedo and oil ga.

This RARE and very classy 1962 Newport Convertible can be enjoyed right away!!  Cruise thorugh town in your Newport Convertible and get those looks and thumbs-up I have been getting this summer. 

Please feel free to ask questions.  Sold in as-is condition.  Inspection available.

Chrysler 200 prototype spied for first time with new body

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Chrysler is deep into testing for its next-generation 200 sedan, a new model that is utterly essential to the brand's continued health. The next iteration is tasked with wiping away anything reminiscent of the Sebring, which the current 200 is still based on. According to our spy, this is one of the first of the new 200s to wear a production body rather than the Alfa Romeo Giulietta-based mules that are thick on the ground in Auburn Hills.
Immediately apparent is that the new 200 ditches the awkwardly styled C-pillar that's typified four-door 200 sedans (and Sebrings before them) for years. The new, sleeker roofline is almost more of a four-door coupe than a traditional sedan, which hints that this new car will try to be more fashion-forward than its predecessor. The rear deck is set off by a sporty decklid spoiler, while a set of staggered rectangular exhaust pipes poke out of the bumper.
The front end appears sleeker, and we'd be lying if we didn't spy a bit of Dart through the camouflage, particularly with the headlights. A large, gaping lower air intake is visible, although our spy seems to think it'll shrink before production models debut. Whatever the new 200 ends up looking like, we expect to see a lot more of its styling from Chrysler in the coming years.

Jeep sets all-time sales record in 2012

Wed, 09 Jan 2013

Last year was good to Jeep. Chrysler has announced its trail-rated brand set an all-time global sales record in 2012 by moving 701,626 units. That number easily surpasses the previous record set in 1999 when Jeep sold 675,494 models. All told, the brand saw a 19-percent sales increase worldwide over 2011, and much of that swell can be traced directly to the Wrangler. While the Grand Cherokee led Jeep sales, the Wrangler posted record numbers both globally and within the US, moving 194,142 and 141,669 units in each market, respectively.
Meanwhile, the Compass beat its previous global sales record with 103,321 units rolling off of dealer lots. In the US, Jeep sold 62,010 Patriot units, breaking that model's previous record as well. Jeep's impressive performance in 2012 marks the second year in a row the brand has seen double-digit percentage sales increases. Check out the full press release below.

2013 Dodge Dart gets all Moparized

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

Last year, Chrysler announced it would be offering more than 150 Mopar parts and accessories on the 2013 Dodge Dart, and we got a look at some of these parts firsthand at the Chicago Auto Show. Showing off all the optional parts at once would surely create a gaudy monstrosity, so Chrysler chose to equip this particular Dart GT with just a handful of Mopar goodies, which still gave the car a nice and tasteful custom look that is available straight from the dealership (and with a full warranty, too).
Decked out in a factory color called Header Orange Clear Coat - also a very appropriate show car hue - this car added exterior styling parts such as the vented, carbon fiber hood, the bolt-on front chin spoiler and a matte black decklid spoiler. Looking inside the car, you'd think the red-accented interior is part of the Mopar parts bin, too, but this is actually what the standard Dart GT cabin will look like when it goes on sale.
