Condition: Used: A vehicle is considered used if it has been registered and issued a title. Used vehicles have had at least one previous owner. The condition of the exterior, interior and engine can vary depending on the vehicle's history. See the seller's listing for full details and description of any imperfections. ...

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!

Editors' Picks March 2021 | Ford Mustang Mach-E, Polestar 2, Land Rover Defender and more

Thu, Apr 8 2021

The month of March was unofficial minivan month here at Autoblog. We drove all of them but the Kia Carnival, but don’t worry, you wonÂ’t have to wait much longer to read that review. Among all the family-toting machines, we drove some more exciting vehicles including the Land Rover Defender and a pair of up-and-coming EVs. It was a month of excellent cars, meaning that this monthÂ’s litter of EditorsÂ’ Picks is stacked. In case you missed FebruaryÂ’s picks, hereÂ’s a quick refresher on whatÂ’s going on here. We rate all the new cars we drive with a 1-10 score. Cars that are exemplary or stand out in their respective segments get EditorsÂ’ Pick status. Those are the ones weÂ’d recommend to our friends, family and anybody whoÂ’s curious and asks the question. The list that youÂ’ll find below consists of every car we rated in March that earned the honor of being an EditorsÂ’ Pick. 2021 Ford Bronco Sport 2021 Ford Bronco Sport First Edition View 32 Photos Quick take: Ford's baby Bronco is an authentic foil to the big Bronco 2-Door and 4-Door. It brings rugged styling, better-than-average off-road capability and thoughtful utility features to a generic segment of cars. Score: 8 What it competes with: Jeep Compass, Jeep Cherokee, Mazda CX-30, Subaru Crosstrek, Kia Seltos, Chevrolet Trailblazer Pros: Stellar design, excellent off-road, clever interior details throughout Cons: Pricier than most, average transmission, underwhelming interior quality and ambiance in lowest trims From the editors: Road Test Editor Zac Palmer Â— Â“I genuinely enjoy driving this cute crossover. It feels like a mini truck on the road, and Ford admirably translated the design from its big Bronco over to this Escape-based crossover. News Editor Joel Stocksdale Â— "The Bronco Sport isn't perfect, the transmission could use some work, and it's a little bumpy, but it's a characterful little thing with loads of style, great visibility and space, and impressive capabilities on and off road in the powerful Badlands form." In-depth analysis: 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Review | Bronco for the masses Â 2021 Land Rover Defender 2021 Land Rover Defender 110 View 64 Photos Quick take: The Land Rover Defender provides everything you'd hope for in a modern Land Rover: superlative off-road capability, surprisingly plush on-road demeanor, abundant interior space and abundant character. The base four-cylinder is likely all you'll need and lower trim levels provide more than enough equipment.

Chrysler fires protest organizer at MI assembly plant

Tue, 12 Mar 2013

Chrysler has reportedly fired a Warren Stamping Plant worker for what the company is calling a violation of its code of conduct. Alex Wassell (left), a 20-year veteran with the automaker, was suspended without pay after he was quoted in an article in The Detroit News. The 63-year-old welder repairman helped organize a demonstration against a new work schedule and was protesting outside the Michigan plant on February 28 when he was interviewed. Chrysler then fired Wassell when the paper published his comments. Wassell, has since filed a grievance and says that he's looking for an amicable settlement between his union and his former employer.
Meanwhile, multiple civil liberties groups have spoken out against Chrysler's decision to dismiss Wassell. Both the National Lawyer's Guild and the American Civil Liberties Union have released statements on the situation, with the ACLU saying "Employees have a right to air their grievances, even if that means a public demonstration or a comments to the media."
According to The Detroit News, Chrysler spokesperson Jodi Tinson said that Wassell was fired for "engaging in activity constituting or appearing to constitute a conflict with the interest of the company."
