This is a rare 2 door 1961 Chrysler New Yorker with a big block 413 wedge motor(not cross ram).Runs and drives great with about 82,000 original miles showing.

I have owned it for about 10 years and put only 2000 miles on it if that. It has been stored  winters and usually one wheel brake drags after it sits but frees right up with driving. Over the years I've had the centerlink replaced, some brake lines, exhaust, tune-up and new tires(3 years ago but less than 100 miles on tires.)

 has dual exhaust with glass packs. Have painted it blue and white with vintage blue Federal bubblegum light on top, Mayberry whip antenna, and "Clarks County Sheriff graphics". Police radio doesn't go with car.

This is a solid car with minimal bodywork lower quarters when I painted it, (still could use clearcoat buffed out)  These cars are notorious for having a hole in the floor board just behind the front wheels and this one does as well, however they are about 3-6 inches as I recall. All the original stainless steel trim is with it as well as the new Yorker grill. I changed them out for the more "sparse" cop car look.  

The hood is currently off but all painted white and ready to put back on with the original hinges.. NO LOWBALLERS on the "Make offer", don't bother, my price is very fair, the car is ready for cruising after the hoods installed.

I've included all the pics I have (Car is stored in another location and injury prevents me from going there right now). The two pics in light blue shows the car to see the front, the bumper dent, & the overall condition before I painted it blue & white.  You can see it was in nice shape with minor spots. The front bumper chrome is fair-good but has a dent (about 1 x 6") on the drivers side. The rear bumper chrome is only fair. The stainless trim all looks pretty good.

PLEASE ASK ALL QUESTIONS BEFORE OFFERS OR PURCHASE!!   TERMS: $500 Paypal deposit due upon purchase. Balance due when you, or your shipper picks it up pick it up in cash at which time I will hand you the notarized, signed off title.

Junkyard Gem: 1987 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe

Sat, Sep 26 2020

For the 1989 through 1991 model years, Chrysler and Maserati teamed up to create one of the most fascinating machines of the era: the Chrysler TC by Maserati. Built in Milan, the chassis and general body lines of the TC derived from the smooth-looking 1987 Chrysler LeBaron Coupe (just as its Turin/Hamtramck-made Cadillac Allante competitor traced its ancestry to the Eldorado). After writing about a few discarded TCs, I decided that I'd keep my junkyard eye open for an example of its LeBaron Coupe sibling. Here's an '87, customized in proper mid-2000s-style Fast & Furious Mode, found in a self-service yard in northeastern Colorado. The LeBaron name came from a 1930s coachbuilder, ultimately bought by Chrysler, and spent many decades being applied to super-luxe Imperial models. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Chrysler glued LeBaron badges and lots of bling on the Dodge Diplomat; the famous Iacocca-era K-Car LeBarons followed in the 1982 model year. The original K-based LeBaron Coupe seemed boxy and stodgy, so a slicker design went on a modified K chassis for the 1987 through 1995 model years. This car got some serious interior modifications at some point, including aftermarket seats, purple-and-white paint on the dash, and fiberglass door panels. The original door controls now live in diamond-plate panels. The gauge faces have faded in the harsh Colorado sun, but they appear to be custom-made. The engine is long gone from the yellow-wire-loom-decorated compartment, but the emissions sticker on the hood underside indicates that it was the 2.2-liter turbocharged four, rated at 146 horsepower. That was a big number for a 2,731-pound car in 1987. More LeBarons than you might have expected came with manual transmissions around this time, but this one has the three-speed automatic. The big-bore tailpipe got stuffed with dirt at some point during this car's journey here. The hood scoop must have been so good that a junkyard shopper grabbed it. I hope it stood at least a foot tall. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

NHTSA investigates a million-plus Jeep Cherokees for parking brake issue

Tue, Jul 26 2022

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) is investigating a potential safety issue that could be present in more than 1 million Jeep Cherokees sold for the 2014-2020 model years. Per owner complaints, these cars may be equipped with an electronic parking brake control module that is susceptible to water intrusion. If the water causes a short, it can result in uncommanded activation of the parking brake while the vehicle is in motion, which can lead to a stall, NHTSA says.  If you follow Jeep Cherokee news closely (and who doesn't?), this issue may ring a bell. That's because Jeep was on the hook for recalling the Cherokee for water intrusion into the liftgate control module, which is fitted right next to the parking brake module. In that instance, short circuits had the potential to cause a fire, which has not so far been indicated as a potential side effect of the new parking brake issue, but any time electricity is involved, there's usually at least some risk for ignition.  The Cherokee is just one of four Stellantis models with a new open investigation, the Detroit Free Press reported Tuesday. NHTSA is also looking into reports of a transmission problem that could strand owners of 2019-2021 Chrysler Pacifica plug-in hybrid minivans and a crankshaft and/or camshaft position sensor problem that could cause a stall in the 2016 Dodge Journey and Jeep Compass. Between the two, these investigations cover an additional 300,000 vehicles.  None of these vehicles are being recalled at this point, however a NHTSA investigation is the first major step toward a recall being initiated. The regulator will work with Stellantis to determine whether a recall is necessary.  Related video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Google car boss: Deal with FCA is just 100 minivans

Fri, May 20 2016

Google and FCA are working together to develop 100 self-driving minivans, but for now, that's it. So says Google car czar John Krafcik. Google is still talking to other automakers about partnerships, Reuters reports. "This is just FCA and Google building 100 cars together," Krafcik told the wire service at an energy conference in Washington. The companies won't expand the project to building an autonomous car, and Google isn't sharing proprietary technology with FCA. The co-developed vehicles won't be for sale, Reuters said. FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne has also reportedly said the deal isn't exclusive. FCA and Google announced their landmark partnership earlier this month to make 100 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivans with self-driving technology. The deal was hailed as a major step in advancing the technology and bridging the gap between traditional automakers and Silicon Valley. "Teaming up with Google helps put FCA in a stronger position to compete when it comes to autonomous car research and development, though significant effort remains to introduce this technology into FCA production vehicles," IHS analyst Colin Bird wrote in a research note.
