I have a one owner 1976 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham 4 door hardtop for sale. The '76 New Yorker is really an Imperial but Chrysler quit making the Imperial in '75 and rebadged it as a New Yorker Brougham. I am the 2nd owner. This car just turned 84,000 original miles. It has a 400 V8 4 barrel with the Lean Burn still intact. It still wears its original orange Mopar wires(however...I switched out the caps and upgraded those). This car was a barn find and I spent a ton of money on it to make it a daily driver. I enjoy rescuing cars and getting them rolling again to be enjoyed. I have over 2,200 dollars in receipts for all work done in the last 30 days that will go with the car. The tires have less than 200 miles on them. The only thing that is not original on this car are the new tires,windshield and new true exhaust(has low rumble glasspacks..not too loud but just right). No catalytic converter. It never had one. The gas tank was dropped and cleaned,new fuel lines,belts,windshield,fuel pump,plugs,the radiator flushed with new coolant,air filter,intake hose,oil change,new wipers,battery,all fuses were replaced,bulbs,floor mats and cleaning. The paint is Inca Gold and the top is original. All power options work except for the antenna. It is stuck in the "up" position. These cars came one way...loaded to the hilt. The AC blows cold and the heater works great. The original 8 track works like new and the speakers do not "crackle". It also has the rare wing window option which you don't see too often on these. There is only one small door ding on the passenger door,a small crease near the left rear marker light where the original owner hit something light. It is not very noticeable. The chrome shines like new. The electronic flip-up headlights work perfectly. There is a spec of rust about the size of a penny under the right rear quarter panel. I haven't gotten a chance to buff it out because of the weather but it will shine up really nice. It has never been in a wreck,rebuilt,or repainted. It does have a few imperfections but this car has not been restored. It doesn't need it. I am listing this for sale for well under what NADA puts it at. On a scale of 1 to 10 this car is about a 7..maybe an 8. It is a survivor. This has new plates and new tabs(if you happen to live in Washington state),a near full tank of gas and is ready to roll. If sold to someone far away,I will make sure to put some gas stabilizer in it for you before it leaves so you can get in it,turn the key,fire it up and enjoy. You will not be disappointed. This car has been all over the internet on various New Yorker sites and The Brougham Society. As of right now,this car needs very little and will look great at any shows or just cruisin'. This is daily driver if you wish or just roll around on Sundays.

Detroit's new emergency city manager worked on Chrysler bankruptcy [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Kevyn Orr, the new emergency city manager of Detroit, has a history with one of Michigan's most famous residents: Chrysler. Governor Rick Snyder (at right) appointed Orr to the position yesterday with the belief that Detroit needs outside assistance to right the city's mounting financial woes. Orr (at left), a partner with the Jones Day law firm, will begin work on March 25 and receive $275,000 a year for his work. While state officials believe the new city manager will be able to complete his duties in 18 months, the contract is technically open-ended.
The 54-year-old attorney helped steer Chrysler through its 2009 bankruptcy, earning $700 per hour for his efforts. He was also instrumental in convincing the courts to allow Chrysler to shutter 789 dealerships in a single month. Orr says he's aware that his efforts won't have made him any friends in Southern Michigan.

2014 Chrysler 300S gets all black and blue

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Outside of the SRT variant, if you want the sharpest-looking Chrysler 300, you'll probably want the 300S trim. This showy variant has traditionally sported larger wheels and some subtle body changes to set it apart from the herd, along with its own unique take on the big sedan's interior.
For 2014, the S will be set apart even further. A number of exterior items will be blacked-out, including black chrome around the grille and Chrysler badges finished in a liquid-chrome finish with a black center. Black moldings are standard, while owners can get an extra dose of style by opting to have the roof painted Gloss Black. Hyper Black 20-inch wheels are standard on the rear-drive model, while 19s are fitted to the all-wheel-drive variant. Smoked tail and headlights round out the package.
The cabin, meanwhile, gets a new trim option - Ambassador Blue. The pale, blue Nappa leather features contrasting, silver French stitching found on the seats and the door armrests.

Maserati Levante will borrow Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid's PHEV powertrain

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The plug-in hybrid tech from the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan will move seriously upmarket into a future version of the Maserati Levante crossover. The PHEV model should arrive around early 2018 or possibly the end of 2017, division boss Harald Wester told Motor Trend. Wester was blunt about the reason for using the minivan's powertrain. "A standalone program would be suicidal so we have to look at FCA," he said to Motor Trend. However, he expects the PHEV to comprise a tiny portion of the luxury CUV's sales volume – possibly as low as six percent. The Pacifica Hybrid will be the first PHEV minivan in the US when it arrives in the second half of 2016. The powertrain combines a 3.6-liter V6 that runs on the more efficient Atkinson cycle, and two electric motors, which are in the gearbox. A 16-kWh lithium-ion battery under the floor stores the energy for the system. Chrysler estimates the setup can carry the minivan 30 miles purely on electric power and achieve 80 MPGe. The first examples of the Levante should arrive in the US in August, according to Motor Trend. Maserati plans initially to offer its luxury crossover here with two twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6s. Base models use a version with 350 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. The S trim gets some extra grunt thanks to a tune that makes 430 hp and 427 lb-ft. Both models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and a limited-slip differential. The Maserati will have a fleet of posh, European crossovers to fight against, and the PHEV will possibly offer an edge to entice a few green-minded, wealthy customers. Related Video:
