1978 Chrysler Newport Coupe ****40,000 Actual Miles***** on 2040-cars

Year:1978 Mileage:40341
Location:

Omaha, Nebraska, United States

Omaha, Nebraska, United States

 A TRUE time capsule, a survivor with just over 40,000 actual miles.  Recently purchased from an estate this is probably the nicest original 36 year old car you'll find...anywhere!!  LOOK CLOSE AT THE PICTURES AND REMEMBER THIS CAR HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO RESTORATION...EVER!!  It wears it's original paint, interior and drive train.  The spare tire was installed by Chrysler Corporation in 1978 and it's NEVER been on the ground!!  And of course never any rust...ever!!
Mechanically the car runs and drives great!! I just drove the car 125 miles on the interstate at 75 mph.  The cruise works perfectly and it's just a great driving and running car.  For those of us my age, we remember how cra**y Chrysler's Lean Burn System cars ran. They didn't work very well when they were new.  Well...this one is the exception to the Lean Burn rule!!  It starts right up, no chugging and choking.  And it doesn't "stumble" as you accelerate. It's impressive how it runs. Quiet and smooth. The four barrel carb kicks right down and has decent power for such a big car. The factory AC is ice cold still on R12 refrigerant. Brakes and shocks work as they should. The tires are excellent.

Options..there are many:  400 4-barrel, power steering, brakes and power driver seat.  Cruise control and tilt steering with telescoping wheel.  Cornering lights, fender skirts, am-fm radio.  Front split bench seat with dual arm rests. Light package. Even rare for the time "delay" windshield wipers too!!

Cosmetically there are just a very few flaws. As seen in the pics a few scratches, minor road rash very low behind the rear wheels. The vinyl top has a small area that has "curled" as you can see. The dash pad is perfect, the glas is original and very nice.  The headliner is drooping. It's being sold this way but there's a possibility I can have it replaced by auction ends..WATCH FOR UPDATES regarding I will post.

Summing it up:  This car is ready for summer cruise nights and local car shows.  It's a great classic piece of American iron at it's best from the company that was called Chrysler Corporation!!  The reserve is low...very low to enable anyone that wants a nice LOW MILEAGE classic car to own it.
I NEED TO PUT THE CAP BUTTON ON...DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MEANS AND INTENTIONS TO BUY IT!!  Have your financial affairs in order and permission from your spouse, partner or signifigant other PRIOR to bidding.  ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. My phone is with me 24/7 and I'll answer your questions honestly and openly. Fly in drive the car home in total comfort, I can pick you up at the airport. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. The car is stored in a secure building.
Winning bidder to send a $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal 48 hours end of auction. Balance to be paid within 7-days via bank to bank wire transfer, certified bank funds or cash when picked up.

Remember...call me anytime with any questions  Tom  402-650-3849

Chrysler launches new Ram ads and gears up for Super Bowl XLV [w/videos]

Tue, 09 Oct 2012

Perhaps no car company has made bigger splashes in the last two years at the Super Bowl than Chrysler, and the automaker's marketing chief, Olivier Francois, said today that he plans to be all over the big game again in February.
Last year, the company made an ad featuring Hollywood icon Clint Eastwood. The spot achieved viral status quickly when pundits charged that Eastwood's lines were politically motivated; meant to appeal to progressive voters/viewers favoring a second term for President Obama. In 2011, agency Wieden & Kennedy burst into the game with a now famous commercial featuring Eminem. Both ads have supported Chrysler's "Imported from Detroit" marketing platform.
Francois briefed reporters Monday at the Detroit Opera House while he also debuted a new series of ads for the Ram brand.

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.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US

Wed, 30 Jan 2013

Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
