1977 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham Hardtop 4-door 7.2l on 2040-cars
Taneytown, Maryland, United States
|
The car started out as a special order by the owner of the Chrysler dealership in Berwick, PA. The car was purchased for his wife (I got this information from the son of the original owner who I was able to track down from information in the owners manual). The odometer shows 40k but as it is only a 5 digit odometer true mileage is unknown but my guess is 140k. The person from whom we bought the car did not know much of it's history but he did live about 15 miles from Berwick so I doubt it has traveled much. We bought the car in October 2012 with 11k on the clock. If you do the math you will see we have put almost 29k miles on the car in the last 18 months. The car runs GREAT and rides great. My 14 year old daughter fights for the back seat because she says it's like riding the sofa down road. The car starts easily and has plenty of power (it does have the 440, after all). The original wheels were replaced with rally wheels that were painted to match the body. The following items have been replaced in the past 18 months: Spark Plugs (and other tune-up items) Tires Rear Shocks & Rear helper springs Alternator, Water Pump and related Belts and Hoses New windshield wiper bushings. The power sunroof operates as it should. The drivers window does get stuck going down (a little push and moves fine); it works fine going up (weird, huh?) The "Lean Burn" system was removed before we bought the car and while it will come with the original air cleaner it now has an Edelbrock air cleaner. The fender skirts are solid although there are some minor rust places expected in a car 37 years old. After we had first bought the car, as we were preparing for a trip to Ga, (it has also been to Northern New Jersey, Virginia, Kentucky and all points in between) I took to the car to my mechanic. When he was putting the car on the lift he said "I hear from a lot of people the 'I just bought this car and it's in really good shape.' all the time but This car is in really good shape!" I think the fact that we have put so many miles on it attests to that. Since the pictures were taken we have lost the small hub cap from the right front wheel (on a West Virginia paved cow path) and the trim ring from the left rear wheel. Replacements are available I just never got around to buying them. Items not working: The reset for the trip meter. The A/C does not blow cold; I have been told the expansion valve needs to be replaced. There is an expansion valve in the truck as well as an R-12 to R-134 conversion kit. I just enjoy having the sunroof and windows open so I have not had it fixed. The cruise does not work but it did when I bought the car. The diaphragm in the Cruise has a hole. From what I was able to determine the same cruise unit was used until 1984 so there should be replacements available. The same is true for the parking brake release. The parking brake is supposed to release as soon as put the car in drive. It did when we bought it but that no longer works either. I could hear the vacuum coming from it so it too has a leak in the diaphragm. I removed the vacuum hose to stop the hissing. You can still release the brake by foot. The passenger side power seat does not work but the drivers seat works in all directions. The only reason we are selling is due to a change in circumstances which requires something a little more fuel efficient. Our original intention was not to use this as a daily driver (which it has become) but as fun weekend ride. We would much rather see the car go to someone who can give the attention it richly deserves. On Apr-30-14 at 11:59:58 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention the car was appraised in December 2012 by Accurate Auto Appraisers, 370 Johnsville Rd., Blairsden, CA for $5500. A copy of the appraisal will accompany the vehicle. |

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
Recharge Wrap-up: Renault-Nissan at COP22, BMW launches Cruise e-Bike
Thu, Oct 6 2016The Renault-Nissan Alliance has been chosen to provide a fleet of electric cars for the UN's COP22 Climate Conference in Marrakesh, Morocco. The group will provide 50 passenger EVs – the Renault Zoe, Nissan Leaf, and Nissan e-NV200 – to shuttle delegates to and from conference venues. The Alliance will also provide more than 20 charging stations to support the shuttle fleet. The group provided electric shuttles for the historic COP21 summit in Paris last year. Read more from Renault-Nissan. FCA, Iveco, and gas grid company Snam have signed an agreement to boost natural gas as a cleaner alternative fuel for Italy. Under the Memorandum of Understanding, FCA and Iveco will work together to develop CNG vehicles, while Snam will invest in CNG supply facilities like filling stations to support a growing fleet. Italy leads Europe in the amount of natural gas consumed for transport, with 1 million vehicles currently on the road. Read more at Green Car Congress. LG Chem has officially announced it will build a battery plant in Poland to the tune of about $340 million. Located near Wroclaw in southwestern Poland, the plant is expected to produce 100,000 batteries a year for 200-mile EVs beginning in 2019. The plant could help Poland in its goal to reduce pollution by introducing a million EVs on its roads by 2025. "We will turn the Poland EV battery plant into a mecca of battery production for electric vehicles around the world," says UB Lee, President of LG Chem's Energy Solution Company. Construction begins in the second half of 2017. Read more from Automotive News Europe. BMW has introduced the Cruise e-Bike. Its Bosch Performance Line electric motor provides electric assistance at speeds of up to 15 mph.

"BMW aims to be the leading provider of premium mobility services, and our bicycle collection furthers that mission," says BMW Accessory and Lifestyle Manager Eric Riehle. "As we enter the holiday season, these bikes make the perfect present for those wishing for their first BMW." The BMW Cruise e-Bike costs $3,430. Read more from BMW.
2017 Chrysler Pacifica is perfect for town and country
Mon, Jan 11 2016The Pacifica has returned. In a surprising move, Chrysler revived the name of its old three-row CUV for the long-serving Town & Country's replacement. That's a bold strategy. Let's see if it pays off. Chrysler's new minivan offers a tremendous improvement on its predecessor in terms of interior and exterior design, available technology, and powertrain. Design inspiration is most clearly drawn from the brand's 200 sedan, both inside and out. Gone are the egg-crate grille, blocky headlights, and vertical taillights of the old van, all of which have been replaced with slim, stylish units. Doubtlessly destined for high-end trims, Chrysler will also offer a 200-style, two-tone interior with over 35 inches of screen real estate. 8.4 inches are reserved for the central UConnect display, while drivers have their own seven-inch display in the instrument cluster. As for the kiddies, they're the big winners, with a pair of ten-inch touchscreen displays in the back. Underhood, the big news is reserved for the new plug-in-hybrid powertrain. You can read all about that here. For right now, we'll focus on the familiar 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and its accompanying nine-speed automatic transmission. There is 287 horsepower, 262 pound-feet of torque, and what will likely be a healthy improvement in fuel economy over the old Town & Country. You can read much more on the all-new Pacifica from our original post last night. We've also got a fresh gallery of live images from its big debut here at Detroit's Cobo Center, available up top.
