Vehicle Condition

You are viewing a 1967 Chrysler Newport Convertible. This 1967 Chrysler convertible is a relatively rare car with only around 2800 produced. This is a very solid number 3 condition car that could be driven and enjoyed as is or restored all the way up to show level.  

Mechanically the car runs great and has lots of power!  It floats down the road effortlessly and is a real blast to drive!  Odometer displays 63,152 miles which appears to be original.  The fender tag and VIN plate are still intact. The car still retains its original factory 383 engine and drivetrain. It has a clean straight body but somewhat weak paint. Under-carriage appears solid, remnants of the original factory undercoating are still present. No visible rust in the fenders, doors, hood, deck lid, floors, trunkpan (very minor surface rust only). This Chrysler is well optioned with Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Power Windows, Power Top, Factory A/C, tinted glass windshield. The interior was recently re-finished in the correct factory material purchased from SMS Fabrics.

What it needs

Since the car spent many years in storage it needs the following:

AC charged

Power windows need to be serviced. 2 motors are good and 2 of the motors will need replacement.

Radio does not work (I think it is simply a fuse since it was recently working)

Paint – A good paint job would easily double the value of the car.

Work recently completed

Lots of $ have already been spent of this car. Recent restoration improvements include:

New Convertible Top Replacement in the Factory correct cologne grain pattern

New Rear “Glass” Window. (Just like the original factory install)

New Convertible Top Rubber Seals

New Convertible Top Latches

New Front Windshield

New Interior – Front and Back seats completed in the factory exact “Metallic Red” including the  correct “Cross-Hatch” pattern material specific to 1967 Newports and 300’s

Complete engine tune-up including new plugs, ignition cables, timing adjustment, etc.

New Carburetor & Fuel Pump

New Fuel Lines (Stainless Steel lines from fuel tank to fuel pump)

New replacement Fuel Tank & Straps

New Fuel Tank Sender

New Radiator

727 Automatic Transmission serviced and all seals replaced

78k Chrysler 200 sedans recalled for stalling

Mon, Aug 17 2015

Chrysler has been at the top of our list of recalls lately, and is showing little sign of dropping down. The latest campaign announced from Auburn Hills affects nearly 80,000 units over a problem that could see the vehicle suddenly stall or shift into neutral unexpectedly. According to the automaker's statement below, the issue primarily affects the 2015 Chrysler 200. However it indicates that unspecified "additional vehicles are also included in the campaign." Of the 77,834 units affected by the recall, the vast majority – nearly 70k – are in the United States. Another 7,115 are located in Canada, 848 in Mexico, and another 19 outside of North America. The problem stems from some electrical connectors that may have been damaged by the supplier during post-production validation tests. FCA stresses, however, that it is "unaware of any related injuries or accidents" resulting from this issue, and that the glitch may or may not be "accompanied by a dashboard warning-light illumination." Airbag function is reportedly unaffected.

The Company is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The condition, which may be accompanied by a dashboard warning-light illumination, does not affect air-bag function. An investigation by FCA US revealed some electrical connectors were damaged when the supplier conducted post-production validation tests. Affected are certain 2015 Chrysler 200 midsize sedans. Additional vehicles also are included in campaign. Of these, approximately 7,115 are in Canada; 848 are in Mexico; and 19 are outside the NAFTA region Affected customers will be advised when they may schedule service, which will be performed free of charge. Customers with questions or concerns may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403.

NHTSA preparing to wallop FCA, automaker 'failed to do its job'

Sat, Jul 4 2015

As embattled the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may be, but that certainly doesn't mean it isn't willing or able to put the smack down on automakers that violate its recall procedures. Following a public hearing on Thursday, the government safety arm is preparing what will likely be some very serious punishments for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. FCA stands accused of mishandling 23 individual recalls covering some 11 million vehicles since 2013, with NHTSA claiming the Italian-American automaker kept it "in the dark," failing to notify the government of safety defects. Uncle Sam also alleges that FCA failed to notify consumers of important safety notices and didn't provide a steady supply of replacement parts. For these charges, the automaker could be fined up to $35 million per recall, which could mean a maximum of $805 million in fines. FCA could also be forced to buy back the unrepaired vehicles. "We have serious concerns with Fiat Chrysler notifications to owners and to NHTSA about its recalls. In every one of the 23 recalls, we have identified ways in which Fiat Chrysler failed to do its job," Jennifer Timian, the head of the Office of Defects Investigation, said during the FCA hearing, The Detroit News reports. The company also "repeatedly failed to provide NHTSA with other critical information about its recalls, including changes to the vehicles impacted by the recalls and its plans for remedying those vehicles." Fiat Chrysler, for its part, didn't really fight back during its hearing, although Scott Kunselman (shown above during the hearing), the senior vice president of vehicle safety and regulatory affairs at FCA, did tell The News that, "We absolutely had no mis-intent." "The plan is to move forward," Kunselman said, adding that the company has "fallen short," and that "some of the things we've done were sloppy." NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind told The News that the regulator would issue its sanctions by the end of July, adding that he saw no way that FCA could avoid punishment.

Ralph Gilles talks minivans, Millennials, mobility, and kissing Alfa Romeos

Fri, Jan 13 2017

We sat down with Ralph Gilles, the global head of design for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show. The veteran stylist has worked for the company for 25 years, and oversees the design of all of the products in the FCA portfolio – everything from mobility pods to Maseratis. This serves Gilles just fine, as his personal automotive interests are exceedingly diverse. The FCA stand was unusually quiet (until Vice President Joe Biden stopped by at the end of our time there) and Gilles was willing to weigh in on a wide range of subjects. Autoblog: We're seeing all of these autonomous mobility pods like Portal being presented at auto shows like CES or NAIAS, but we're not seeing any adoption of this kind of small vehicle in the market. What's your perspective on our pod-like autonomous future versus our truck-centric present? Ralph Gilles: Obviously I pay attention to the industry as much as your readers and yourself, and everyone has a take on the future. We had a debate, we could have done a supercar or something for pure sex appeal [ apparently that's also in the works], but we chose something practical, to really look at the future in a different perspective. We have these Millennials, a huge swath of people born between 1982 and 2004, and the oldest ones are turning 35 right about now, and a lot of them are having families later in life but when they have them they have a little more buying power, so it makes for an interesting cocktail. The one stipulation we had on the Portal project was that everyone had to be a Millennial to be on the team. So that excluded me, I had more of a coach role on the team. And to your point, the Portal in its current state as you see it is not going to be on the road tomorrow. But there's a lot of ideas, a lot of connectivity ideas, a lot of styling ideas, even lighting and technologies that will absolutely find their way into vehicles in the next few years. AB: Being a Detroiter, all of this attention we've had recently in Vegas, CES – I heard that they're maybe going to be running the show at the same time next year. Do you feel a little protective of the Detroit Show? RG: Yeah, it's something to watch. I hope it's not an aggressive thing on their part, by moving the shows on top of each other. They're both important shows. CES, I've been going to for the last five years, and it's changing. There's a lot more automotive content, but there are a lot more start-ups too, and it's interesting to watch.
