For Sale by Owner all original 1967 Chrysler New Yorker with 440 ci engine and 727 transmission. One Owner car with super clean sheet metal. I originally bought the car for the engine and transmission for a Street Rod project due to the low original miles.I expected the car to be in rough shape coming out of Massachusetts but when I got there it was amazingly clean. When I brought it home, changed fluids and went through the engine, and got it tuned and took it for a drive it drove and rode like a dream. I decided to keep it for a while and drive it to shows because the body was too nice to send to the scrap. I think the pictures show how well kept the car was.

I put a 750 CFM Summit carburetor on it, new cap, rotor, wires and plugs and have been driving it on and off since last summer. It will sit for a month and fire instantly when I want to take drive. It has new tires all the way around, and runs and drives great. This is a car from the "Land Yacht" era and is really a lot of fun to drive. It has a luxury feel that they just don't make any more.The 440 in it has enormous torque and it will smoke the tires from a standing stop, even with the high gearing. This car will cruise all day at 80 mph and rides like a cloud.

For those who care, I specifically bought a 1967 because that year 440 motor is a 10.1:1 compression and has closed chamber 915 heads, which are a single year head found on the fastest Mopars of the time. These particular heads have the smaller valves but are same casting and I always figured on doing a valve job with hardened seats for unleaded fuel anyway . I intended to make the valve size change then because the parts and machine work cost no more to install the bigger valves when going to the unleaded seats. if you want an engine to hot rod this is the one you want, but it is a monster torque cruiser just the way it is.

I am selling the car because I just don't get enough time to drive it and I found another 67 New Yorker with the 915 heads with even less mileage so I have one more 440 than I need. Someone else should enjoy the car and take it to shows.

Question of the Day: Most heinous act of badge engineering?

Wed, Dec 30 2015

Badge engineering, in which one company slaps its emblems on another company's product and sells it, has a long history in the automotive industry. When Sears wanted to sell cars, a deal was made with Kaiser-Frazer and the Sears Allstate was born. Iranians wanted new cars in the 1960s, and the Rootes Group was happy to offer Hillman Hunters for sale as Iran Khodro Paykans. Sometimes, though, certain badge-engineered vehicles made sense only in the 26th hour of negotiations between companies. The Suzuki Equator, say, which was a puzzling rebadge job of the Nissan Frontier. How did that happen? My personal favorite what-the-heck-were-they-thinking example of badge engineering is the 1971-1973 Plymouth Cricket. Chrysler Europe, through its ownership of the Rootes Group, was able to ship over Hillman Avanger subcompacts for sale in the US market. This would have made sense... if Chrysler hadn't already been selling rebadged Mitsubishi Colt Galants (as Dodge Colts) and Simca 1100s as (Simca 1204s) in its American showrooms. Few bought the Cricket, despite its cheery ad campaign. So, what's the badge-engineered car you find most confounding?

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Jeep Wrangler diesel likely after 2015 model refresh

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

We automotive journalists aren't always the right people to ask about whether a US-spec vehicle should or should not be offered with a diesel powertrain (hint: the answer is usually "YES"). But when it comes to the iconic, off-road-ready Jeep Wrangler, we aren't the only ones who have been clamoring for an oil-burning engine behind that famous seven-slat grille. To that end, it appears there's good news on the horizon, as Jeep CEO Mike Manley recently told Ward's Auto that the "Wrangler is on the radar to get (a) diesel."
"I'm confident that the Grand Cherokee will show just how large a demand there is for diesel, and I think what that will do is reinforce the need for us to target Wrangler as a vehicle that can take a diesel," Manley told Ward's. The most rugged of Jeeps is scheduled to get an overhaul around 2015-16, and the diesel powertrain will likely be introduced around that time.
This year alone, Chrysler will be adding a diesel engine to the Grand Cherokee SUV, as well as the Ram 1500 pickup and Promaster utility van.
