This is a Rare 1968 Chrysler Newport convertible 2 door. V8 440 7.2L motor. "ONLY 2500 made!" 55,469k original miles. Automatic transmission. Power seats, power windows, power retractable top. 22" Boyd Coddington aluminum rims "$2500 new." Runs and drives good. Always garaged. Sounds really good and load with the dual exhaust. Has new battery, plugs, plug wires, battery cables, oil filter, air filter. This is an older show car that shows a little age. Very beautiful car just has some age showing here and there. Body is straight as an arrow. No dings or dents. The body has NO RUST. Body Paint is still in good shape and shines bright. The clear coat has flaked in a couple small spots the size of a dime. Paint has a few small rock chips. The trim is all in good shape. Some minor blister on front bumper down low, hard to see in pics, or in person. Interior has been redone over 6 years ago and shows some fading from have the top down. No rips or tears. The cloth top is brand new and still in great shape. Windows do not roll up or down currently. Everything is there just needs to be gone through and re-hooked up. Retractable top needs to be hooked back up. I was slowly working on the car here and there but do not have the time any more. Was quoted $400 to do windows and retractable top. If winning buyer wants windows and top done, we can come to an arrangement "$400 plus purchase price." This car turns allot of heads and gets lots of attention. You just don't see this car on the streets anymore. I was so happy when I found it but need to find it a new good home.
Thanks -B

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013
Wed, 02 Jan 2013The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
More 2015 Chrysler 200 photos surface
Wed, 08 Jan 2014Just 24 hours after the first official 2015 Chrysler 200 shot made its way onto the web, a whole smattering of images have surfaced, courtesy of the folks at Motorward. Here, we can see the new Chrysler family sedan from every angle, including the interior, and might we say, she's pretty.
As we told you yesterday, the new 200 will be offered with either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 184 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque or a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 295 hp and 262 lb-ft. A nine-speed automatic transmission accessed through Chrysler's rotary shifter (mounted on a Volvo-style floating center console) will direct power to the wheels. We've heard that both front- and all-wheel drive will be available, and what's more, it's been said that the new 200 will be able to achieve at least 35 miles per gallon on the highway.
An on-sale date has yet to be announced, but the new 200 will reportedly be priced at $21,700, not including $995 for destination. Have a look at the new round of photos in the gallery above - the striking blue model above looks to be the sportier 200S - and stay tuned for the officially official stuff early next week... if not sooner.
Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
