For sale is a 1962 Chrysler New Yorker 4-dr Sedan. The documentation I received with the car outlines 4 previous owners, though I cannot be certain that the documentation is complete. I have owned the car since May of 2011, at which point the odometer read about 33,000 miles. Over the course of my ownership, I have made a few minor repairs/improvements, but mostly just driven and enjoyed the car, which is currently licensed and insured and driven approximately once a week. During my ownership, it has been garage kept.

The engine is the original 413 ci v8 rated at 340 hp and 470 ft-lbs torque. The transmission is the original Torqueflite 727 3-speed, followed by a 2.93:1 rear axle. I have records indicating replacement of the water pump, thermostat, and basic tuneup items. I rebuilt the original Carter AFB 4-barrel carburetor. The engine is strong, with very little blowby, excellent responsiveness, near-silent operation, and 13-mpg average fuel economy. It is so smooth and quiet that it often feels like it has stopped running at traffic lights. Cosmetically, the finish on the engine is in poor condition, but there are no major fluid leaks. I wouldn't hesitate to drive cross-country.

In addition to the carburetor rebuild, I installed a pair of new Eaton Detroit Spring rear leaf springs arched for stock ride height and adjusted the front torsion bars to specification. At purchase, a set of Imperial springs had been installed on the car, which gave incorrect ride height and stiffness. I inspected the brake system and had the dual-diaphragm power booster rebuilt. Braking performance is excellent. Also new are all 4 tires, which I replaced with correct BF Goodrich Silvertown 8.50-14 bias-plys from Coker Tire. The fuel tank was removed and relined with KBS Coatings product.

At some point, the body was given what appears to have been an inexpensive respray. The trim was not removed, but masked off. Prior to my ownership, the car sat outside in full sun for several years, which has faded and oxidized the paint on top of the hood, roof, trunk, and other upward-facing areas. There are a few minor spots of the first signs of corrosion near the chrome and stainless trim on the car. There has been moisture in the trunk, which at some point was brushed with a red paint, but there is no rust through there or anywhere on the body that I have found. The original undercoat still covers the underside of the car. There is minor body damage on the passenger front fender where a close swipe must have pulled the side Chrysler emblem off the fender, leaving a shallow dent and somewhat flattening the stainless trim around the wheel arch. There is a shallow dent under the driver side taillight, and a more noticeable dent in the rear bumper. Otherwise, the body is straight and solid.

The dash pad and upholstery have also suffered from the solar exposure; the pad has some cracks and a sun-burned texture on the top surfaces and the upholstery is faded and the seams have separated as it has become dry and fairly brittle. Needless to say, these items would need to be renewed for the interior to present well. All of the metalwork and paint inside the car are in good condition. The chrome could use polish but should shine up very nicely. The headliner is excellent, as is all glass.

Overall, this car is an unmolested, mostly original example of the '62 New Yorker. It was initially delivered in Schenectady, NY to a lady who clearly seldom drove it. The driver door jamb wears two Texaco stickers from 1978 and 1979, bearing the odometer readings 32422 and 32674, respectively. It currently reads 39342, and knowing its history back to 2003, and given the operational refinement of the chassis and drivetrain, I believe that to be actual mileage. I haven't driven a new '62 New Yorker, but I can't imagine that this car's ride, handling, power, braking, comfort, and refinement have significantly deteriorated. It is a pleasure to drive. I have chosen to sell it in order to focus on another classic project. A modest investment in restoration would yield a like-new car to be enjoyed for years to come. I have a clear NC title in my own name.

I will be happy to show the car and give test drives to interested local parties. If you would like more information or to talk on the phone, please contact me through Ebay.

The buyer will need to make arrangements to come pick up the car in the Raleigh, NC area within 1 week of purchase. I will require a Paypal deposit of $200 within 24 hours of purchase; the remainder can be paid in cash upon collection of the vehicle.

Thanks for your interest!

Lexus LC 500 dominates 2016 EyesOn Design Awards

Wed, Jan 13 2016

The Lexus LC 500 captured top honors for the best-designed production car and the best interior at the 10th annual EyesOn Design awards at the Detroit Auto Show. The awards are handed out by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The Buick Avista won the concept car category, just as its four-door predecessor, the Avenir, did last year. Other winners this year included the Chrysler Pacifica, which won for the best-designed production "truck" (as crossovers and minivans are sometimes categorized), and the Audi H-Tron Quattro, which won for the best concept truck. The Acura Precision concept was also recognized for its "innovative use of color, graphics, and materials." And the new Volvo S90 was singled out for its human-machine interface. The panel of jurists this year included designers from an array of automakers and art schools. Several past honorees for the organization's LifeTime Design Achievement Award participated in the voting, including GM's Wayne Cherry, BMW DesignworksUSA founder Chuck Pelly, Hyundai's Peter Schreyer, and Jack Telnack (formerly of Ford). Telnack also served on the select panel of chief judges this year, alongside Chris Chapman from Hyundai, Dave Marek from Acura, and Stewart Reed from the Art Center College of Design. Lexus Takes 2 and Buick Wins Best Concept For 2nd Year at EyesOn Design Awards at NAIAS January 12, 2016, Detroit, Michigan. A panel of design leaders representing worldwide automotive manufacturers and transportation design chiefs from top design schools around the globe today selected these vehicles to receive the following EyesOn Design Awards at the North American International Auto Show: * Production Car: 2017 Lexus LC500 * Production Truck: 2017 Chrysler Pacifica * Concept Car: Buick Avista Concept * Concept Truck: Audi h-tron Quattro Concept * Best Designed Interior: 2017 Lexus LC500 * Innovative Use of Color, Graphics and Materials: Acura Precision Concept * Human Machine Interface: 2017 Volvo S90 Chief Judges were: Chris Chapman of Hyundai, Dave Marek of Acura, Stewart Reed of ArtCenter College of Design, and Jack Telnack of Ford Motor Company (retired). 2016 marks the tenth year the EyesOn Design Awards have been an integral part of the North American International Auto Show.

2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid: The 80-MPGe minivan [w/video]

Mon, Jan 11 2016

As automakers rush to add hybrids and plug-ins to every type of vehicle, one popular segment has been overlooked: minivans. If the idea of a hybrid minivan makes sense to you, that's because it's a smart idea, and one that we're surprised hasn't happened yet. So kudos to Chrysler for not just making it happen, but for creating a plug-in version with an estimated 80 miles per gallon equivalent. You can read all the practical details of the 2017 Pacifica (not Town & Country) here. For the sake of this story, we'll focus on what's different with the hybrid model. Yes, Chrysler is just calling it Pacifica Hybrid, not Plug-In Hybrid, because the company's executives think that when people hear "plug" they think "range anxiety" and freak out. That's not a worry here, though, because when the 16-kWh battery runs out of juice, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 kicks in and the minivan functions as normal. Just don't run out of gas. With a full charge, the Pacifica Hybrid can travel up to 30 miles on electric power. And though the gas engine is the same 3.6-liter V6 found in the non-hybrid model, it's detuned to 248 horsepower and 230 pound-feet of torque. Charging the battery takes just two hours on a 240-volt plug, and Chrysler houses the battery pack underneath the floor in the middle of the van, where the wells for Stow 'N Go seating are found on gas-only models. So no, you can't get Stow 'N Go seats on the hybrid, but the third row does still fold into the floor. Powertrain aside, the Pacifica Hybrid is nearly identical to its gas-only sibling, save the addition of the charge port on the driver's side front fender. Unique wheels in 17- and 18-inch sizes can be had, and the Pacifica Hybrid only comes in Touring and Limited Platinum trims. You can read more details on the hybrid system in the release below. First hybrid powertrain in minivan segment "Due to its large footprint and multiple daily trip patterns, the minivan is ideally suited for electrification technology," said Bob Lee, Vice President and Head of Engine, Powertrain and Electrified Propulsion Systems Engineering, FCA – North America. "The all-new 2017 Chrysler Pacifica lives up to this promise and then some, with efficiency, power and refinement." Launching in second half of 2016, the Pacifica Hybrid is the industry's first electrified minivan.

Sell your own: 1969 Plymouth Barracuda

Always the "third" element in Detroit's Big Three, Chrysler and its Dodge, Plymouth and Chrysler divisions, usually played catchup to GM and Ford. However, Plymouth actually arrived to the ponycar segment on time, with its launch of the Valiant-based Barracuda almost on top of Ford's Mustang. That said, the segment became named for ponies, not an aggressive fish. By 1969, the Ford Mustang and Chevy Camaro were becoming bigger and more sophisticated. The Barracuda, by contrast, held on to its essential simplicity. We'd prefer the fastback and a small-block V8, but in the context of 2017 collectible-car values for Mopar, even a Slant Six coupe with unknown mileage might be worth checking out. From the supplied pics, this '69 Cuda looks to be in good condition; if it weren't, the asking price would likely be south of $10,000 – not north. Scarcity's not an issue, so this Barracuda would seem well-suited for the resto-mod treatment (above and beyond the aftermarket hood scoops), while keeping the post-purchase investment as minimal as the original outlay.
