1962 Chrysler New Yorker Base 6.7l on 2040-cars
Holly, Michigan, United States
GENERAL: Very nice original 1962 Chrysler New Yorker. While not considered a "classic", this vehicle is still a great looking car of the care-free early sixties. Her name is Ethyl (though you can rename her). Vehicle has been owned by me and garage stored (covered) for the last 7 years. This was a running and driving car with working everything when I last used it. But that was a while ago. I haven't started the engine in a few years. So the only thing wrong with the car would be time and lack of use. Please review the pictures. Contact me with any or all questions and I will try to answer them.
EXTERIOR: The car has no visible rust. There are a few small bubble spots. Also some flaking/rub areas were the paint is off from the metal. Paint is Rosewood (taupey pink color). The paint on the sides of the vehicle is in better shape than the top surfaces. The hood and trunk surfaces have had the paint marred. It is cloudy and scratched up. It looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing took an orbital polisher to the surface. This is a very solid car. All trim is present. All doors, hood and trunk panels fit well and close tight. The Chrysler New Yorker emblem in the front grill is missing. Reproduction emblems can be ordered online. Radio antenna has been removed/broken (?) off. But is still with vehicle and fits back on the exterior mount. Rear Glass has been previously replaced.
INTERIOR: The interior is in overall good shape but upholstery needs cleaning. Of coarse smells musty due to age. There is one tear w/ tape on it on the drivers seat back cushion at the bottom. Headliner has holes: middle by sun visors, by passenger side front and rear, and in the rear back on both sides. Carpet has the normal wear and tear and looks like it has properly been replaced. Dash/Odometer has the clear dome panel..Pushbutton Transmission Gears. All switches and buttons are present and working.
ENGINE: Engine is a 413. The times I've run it, it wants to go like a bat out of hell. I never did any work on the engine and can't tell you much about it. Battery should have been disconnected, but was not.
CONCERNS: Tires: Probably need replacement. I'm not sure how old they are. They went flat from sitting, but when filled they hold the air again. Exhaust: The exhaust has a plastic/rubber tube in place of an exhaust pipe. Fuel: The previous owner was out of gas to show/run the vehicle, so he put some mix (oil/gas) in instead. Vehicle exhausted black smoke. The fuel tank would probably need to be drained/cleaned.
EXTRAS: There are several spare parts in a box. There are two rear taillight lenses and one taillight chrome bracket trim. 2 Chrome trim pieces - not really sure where they go. Carpet fabric for trunk. Extra chrome vent strips. Repair/Service Manual Build sheet & Paint Color Chart Owner Manual
The car is located in Michigan approx 1 hr north of Detroit or Ann Arbor. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end. Payment is to be received within 10 days. Vehicle must be removed within two weeks of auction end. Once payment is made the sale will be final. Buyer is responsible for all transportation of the vehicle.

Fiat Chrysler to get $105M fine from NHTSA for recall woes
Sun, Jul 26 2015The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is about to send a powerful message to automakers doing business in the United States, assuming reports of an upcoming $105 million fine against Fiat Chrysler Automobiles comes to fruition. In addition to the record-setting monetary fine, according to The Wall Street Journal, FCA will have to accept an independent auditor that will monitor the company's recall and safety processes and will be forced to buy back certain recalled vehicles. In other cases, such as with Jeep Grand Cherokee and Liberty models with gas tanks that could potentially catch fire in certain types of accidents, FCA will offer financial encouragement for owners to get their recall work done or to trade those older vehicles in on new cars, according to the report. FCA could reportedly reduce its fines if it meets certain conditions, though those remain unclear at this time. These actions against FCA are being taken after NHTSA began a probe into the automaker over almost two dozen separate instances where the government claims FCA failed to follow proper procedures for recalls and safety defects. Included in those safety lapses are more than 11 million vehicles currently in customer hands. These penalties and fines are separate from the investigation over security problems with Chrysler's Uconnect system that allowed hackers to obtain remote access into key vehicle systems in 1.4 million vehicles.

Fiat and UAW back at negotiating table over Chrysler stake
Mon, 23 Dec 2013We knew there'd be no Chrysler IPO before the end of this year, but Fiat is determined to get the best run going into 2014 and is back at the poker table with the UAW. The delay was said to be Chrysler's desire to clean up a tax issue with the IRS; turns out that also bought the carmaker time to try and close a deal for the UAW's 48.5-percent stake in the company before the IPO happens.
Whereas the price Chrysler was willing to pay was once more than $1 billion under the UAW's asking price, the gap has closed to just $800 million of late. A recent valuation of the company at $10 billion - a valuation the UAW has disputed - means Fiat would be looking to pay about $4.2 billion instead of the $5 billion that the UAW seeks. But the UAW needs to hold out for the highest amount it can get because its pension obligations through the Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) are $3.1 billion greater than the VEBA's assets, which include the Chrysler stake.
There's a clause in the agreement that Fiat can buy the VEBA shares for $6 billion, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has said that the UAW "should buy a ticket for the lottery" if they even want $5 billion. The UAW, though, has more time to wait; it's Fiat that wants access to Chrysler's $11.9-billion war chest and that would like to avoid the risk of paying the full $6 billion for the UAW share if the float really takes off. With other valuations of Chrysler as high as $19 billion, a hot IPO could make that $6 billion look like a bargain.
2017 Chrysler Pacifica First Drive
Mon, Mar 21 2016I know this is supposed to be a shameful secret, but I like minivans. I like the way the kids can enter and exit easily with the sliding doors. I like the comfortable ride they provide on road trips. I like the way I can reconfigure the interior seats to haul groceries, furniture, and kids. For decades, the minivan has been maimed by its uncoolness. Sales of the family movers have tapered to about 500,000 units per year while American families have shifted their allegiance to crossovers and SUVs. But America loves a redemption story, and I believe the minivan can be redeemed. Chrysler does too. At a time when the company is shedding vehicles from its lineup – so long, Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart – its executives aren't paying any attention to whatever conventional wisdom suggests the minivan segment has foundered and reached its end. Instead, Chrysler just spent $2 billion to overhaul the architecture for its minivan. Enter the 2017 Pacifica, an all-new vehicle that immediately replaces the Town & Country and eventually will replace the Dodge Grand Caravan. It couldn't have come at a better time. Consumer Reports recently named the outgoing Town & Country one of its "Ten Worst Picks" among 2016 vehicles, an eyesore for the company that pioneered the minivan segment. Enticed by a slew of standard features and heavy incentives, I happen to own one of those disparaged Town & Country vans. Other than a transmission that always seems to be searching for the right gear, I've got no substantial complaints about the car. While it'd be a reach to say that any minivan is attractive, the new design makes the Pacifica the best of the bunch. But my ownership experience made me curious about how the new Pacifica would fare, whether Chrysler's billions were invested well and mostly, whether the Pacifica would truly feel like an all-new vehicle or whether it had merely been incrementally advanced. Navigating the roads in the rolling hills of Southern California last week, it didn't take long to find out. A revised 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine delivered 287 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque, making the climbs up California's hills effortless. Likewise, the new nine-speed automatic transmission never strained or felt clunky, like it has in other recent products like our long-term Jeep Cherokee. The harmonious combination of the upgraded engine and transmission felt like the single-biggest differentiator between the old and new minivans.
