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.

FCA recalling 323,000 cars for wiring, software issues

Mon, Jul 25 2016

The Basics: Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is conducting a voluntary recall for an estimated 323,361 cars in the US. The affected vehicles were built after September 23, 2014 and include: the 2015 Chrysler 200, Ram ProMaster City, Jeep Renegade, and 2014 and 2015 Jeep Cherokees. The Problem: An insufficient crimp in the vehicles' wiring harness may result in a solenoid fault code, which could cause the engine to stop. The loss of power could lead to an accident. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The Fix: FCA will update the affected vehicles' software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. According to FCA, owners that experience the problem can temporarily resolve the issue by restarting the vehicle. If you own one: FCA is reaching out to owners to schedule a service. Related Video: Statement: Wire Harness Crimp July 22, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 323,361 vehicles in the U.S. to update certain software and replace wire harnesses, as needed. An examination of warranty data led to an FCA US investigation that discovered an insufficient crimp in a wire harness. Such a crimp may lead to a solenoid fault code that can cause propulsion loss. The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. Most vehicles in the recall population will not experience this fault code over their lifetimes. However, should the condition occur, it can typically be temporarily resolved by stopping the vehicle and re-starting its engine. Accordingly, FCA US urges customers to heed the instructions on their recall notices. Affected are certain model-year 2015 Chrysler 200 midsize sedans, Ram ProMaster City small vans, Jeep Renegade and Cherokee SUVs. Certain model-year 2014 Cherokees are also affected. A change made in the harness-manufacturing process eliminates the need to recall any vehicle built after Sept. 23, 2014. An estimated 35,511 additional vehicles in Canada are included in the campaign; as are 7,067 in Mexico; and 43,927 outside the NAFTA region. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service.

Feds investigating FCA sales fraud focusing on strange code word

Fri, Sep 2 2016

The US government is currently investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) over the possibility of sales fraud, and according to The Wall Street Journal, the investigation has revealed a strange phrase about a nonexistent "unnatural acts department." People knowledgeable about the term told The Wall Street Journal that this phrase was a "rallying cry." Basically, if it looked like the company, region, or dealer wasn't going to hit sales targets, this was a sign that some outside-the-box sales solutions were needed. People told the news outlet those solutions could include selling cars at a loss or having the dealer buy a fleet of customer test-drive cars. However, this could also be evidence of some less savory ways to boost sales. In addition to the investigation, the company is already facing at least one lawsuit from a dealer group that alleges it would bribe dealers to pad monthly sales figures. FCA had an incentive to maintain sales numbers as well, considering that it was claiming a long streak of increasing sales. Under scrutiny recently, the company changed its sales reporting practices and numbers for previous years. Under the old reporting methods, it was possible for dealers to sell cars, report the sales, and then cancel or "unwind" the sales later. This wouldn't count as a lost sale, but the car also couldn't be recorded as another sale later. As a result, an unscrupulous dealer could have hypothetically used it to "sell" a car one month and "unwind" it the next. If FCA knew about this, it's also possible the company could have pushed dealers to use the system for false sales, something the Feds theorize may be related to the "unnatural acts department" phrase. It's still entirely possible this "unnatural acts department" was just a corporate term for thinking of creative ways to meet sales goals. And selling cars at a loss is definitely unnatural for businesses that are trying to make money. Whatever the phrase truly meant to dealers, it certainly is bizarre.
