New Yorker, 440-hp, 727, Tnt, 8.75 Sure-grip, E86, U-code on 2040-cars
Jamestown, New York, United States
INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION You are viewing a 1971 Chrysler New Yorker, equipped with its
orignal "numbers-matching" (engine and transmission stampings)
"U" code (E86 on fender tag), 440-HP (which stands for "High
Performance", and "HP" is stamped on the block ID pad) V8, mated
to a 727 "TorqueFlite" transmission, and a 3.23:1 ratio, 8.75 inch "Sure-Grip" rear end. The vehicle has just under 98,000 original
miles. This vehicle is being offered with no reserve. Please plan your
bid strategies accordingly as whenever auction ends, vehicle will belong to a new owner (see auction success considerations below for more information). Let me give you a few Mopar marketing names to start:
"TNT" in the Chryslers, "Magnum" in the Dodges, and
"Super Commando" in the Plymouths.
All these names refer to the 370 horsepower, 480 ft.
lbs. of torque, 9.5:1 compression engine available in the Imperials, the
Challengers, the Cudas, the Chargers, and the pursuit-class police cars in
1971. Recall that the last higher-compression, big-block B/RB engines
were produced in 1971. I bought this car a decade ago from the original owner with the intention
to restore it. The vehicle did not need very much mechanical work aside
from a tune-up and carburetor rebuilt. However,
since it has not been on the road in over three years, it will need to be gone through to be completely
roadworthy (if you are the winner, you should plan to trailer it to your destination). The vehicle easily moves under its own power and can be driven onto/off of a trailer or car
carrier. Options on this New Yorker worth noting are dual exhaust power
seats, power windows, tilt-telescoping steering column, four speaker stereo
(poor reception), air conditioning (system intact but not blowing cold air),
and power door locks (non functioning). I do have the factory build
sheet. The paint is 'Tahitian Walnut Metallic" and it has had at
least one low quality repaint in its lifetime. If restoration is planned,
it will need to be repainted as there are faded areas and assorted other imperfections
in both the finish and the sheet metal (dings, scratches, etc). The condition of the floors, trunk, and frame is shown and there is
no rust through, damage, or repairs that would affect structural integrity.
The only rust area visible is a quarter-sized hole in the rear valence
just above the passenger side exhaust pipe (the result of exhaust gas
condensation from the tailpipe position). The glass is all good and the trim and bumpers are in fair driver-quality
consistent with the age of the vehicle. Although
not shown, all the trim pieces around the rear windows are now affixed to the
vehicle. I did install a new aftermarket
carpet, new mufflers and tailpipes, and a new vinyl roof. The dash is
straight and headliner is intact. The original
vinyl seats have several defects as shown. This Chrysler New Yorker is a rare piece of American turnpike-cruising iron, with one of the most powerful engines ever put into a passenger car up to that time: the "TNT" 440-HP, the same powertrain as the legendary Chrysler, Plymouth, and Dodge-branded muscle and police cars from a bygone era. I hope a potential new buyer will take the slow, steady affordable approach to the restoration of this car so it can chew up turnpikes like it did in the old days. Alternatively, if you intend to part it out for a Dodge or Plymouth "muscle car" project, or any other reasons, that’s your choice of course too. I mean where else are you going to find a real, matching, unmolested original 440-HP TNT engine, 727 transmission, and 3.23 Sure-Grip laying around these days? AUCTION SUCCESS CONSIDERATIONS I have established a reasonable reserve (reserve will not be revealed while the auction is running) for this 1971 Chrysler New Yorker. Please consider bidding during the auction to the extent and level you deem appropriate and based on whatever factors are important to you. Again this vehicle is being offered with no reserve. Please plan your bid strategies accordingly, because if the auction runs its full course this vehicle will belong to the highest bidder. Vehicle is also for sale locally so please note that I reserve the right to end this auction early at my sole discretion. . I am sorry in advance for the following realizing it will not apply to the vast majority of responsible Ebay members: Encountering non-paying or unresponsive bidders is a very disruptive event that makes the auction experience quite unpleasant for both the seller and any legitimate potential buyer(s). Please BE SURE BEFORE YOU BID that you have done whatever you need to do to STAND BEHIND the actual bid(s) YOU MADE and were recorded during the auction. Because of a tendency to simply misunderstand or just outright ignore Ebay and seller auction requirements, bidders with less than 5 (five) feedback ratings may, at my discretion have their bids canceled (I may or may not try to contact you before canceling your bid) and then blocked from further bidding on this auction unless they contact me in advance of bidding. Bidders who make and then cancel their bid(s) will also be blocked from further bidding on this auction. INSPECTION AND WARRANTY INFORMATION Please ask any questions that you may have that may not have been answered by this detailed listing narrative and visual media attachments. My listings are constructed in complete sentences in order to communicate my knowledge of important facts and to encourage independent thoughts and then any questions from interested parties. But respectfully, I do not know what is important to you that may not have been discussed or depicted herein unless you ask me. Any and all relevant and appropriate questions you submit while the auction is running will be answered promptly and as thoroughly as possible by email only to ensure clarity of any correspondences. Given that this is a used vehicle, please do not have unreasonable expectations as to its current condition or future condition under your ownership. Also given its obvious age, this vehicle represents whatever standards of design, quality, and workmanship that existed when it was built, so comparisons to improved build standards of today's vehicles is not appropriate. Your bid forms the basis for a binding, legally enforceable contract. As such, if you require it, please make all pre-purchase inspections (at the sole expense of the bidder) before committing to purchase the vehicle. Inspections can be done by appointment only by you or your designated inspection service. Although I believe I have described and depicted (with numerous high-resolution photographs) this vehicle accurately, please note that this vehicle is sold "as-is, where-is” with no express or implied warranties or guarantees of any kind. PAYMENT AND STORAGE A $500 deposit is required from the winning bidder, due electronically via PayPal within 24 hours after the auction ends, to hold the vehicle. I will not be accepting trades. Full payment is due within 3 days of auction end via cash, wire transfer, or certified bank check (drawn on a major US bank). Clear title in my name is in hand and vehicle can be scheduled for buyer pickup by appointment at anytime after full payment is received and cleared. I can hold the vehicle for 15 days (or longer, if weather or other uncontrollable factors emerge) at no charge to the winning bidder after the auction (the charge is $5.00 per day after 15 days). Thank you for viewing my auction. |

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all
Mon, 20 Jan 2014After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.
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.
How a Chrysler New Yorker rally car turned father and son into best friends
Thu, 10 Jul 2014Cars have a weird way of bringing fathers and sons together. You might not want to talk to your dad (or son) about politics, but if you can get him into a conversation about 1950s automotive design, then you can chat for hours. The latest video from Petrolicious looks at how Jonathan Auerbach and his dad bonded through racing in long-distance rallies in an absolutely brutish 1951 Chrysler New Yorker.
The Auerbachs have over 10,000 miles in competition on this behemoth of a Chrysler. It packs a 354-cubic-inch (5.8-liter) hemi V8 with Weber carbs under the hood, and driving it looks more akin to piloting a ship than any kind of on-road vehicle. The New Yorker can take a pounding and just keep going, too. Jonathan says that they hit two deer during one event, and the only damage to the car was some missing trim up front.
The next goal is to prep the car for the arduous Peking to Paris Rally. The big Chrysler should be quite the sight when it rolls across the finish line in France. Scroll down to hear this poignant story about a father and son becoming best friends while racing an American classic. You might want to have a tissue handy, if you're close to your dad, though.
