1969 Chrysler Newport Convertible Base 6.3l on 2040-cars
Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, United States
You are looking at a beautiful 1969 Chrysler Newport Convertible. This car is a fantastic Cruiser! This car was restored in the late 90’s / early 2000’s in my opinion. The person that performed the restoration was a professional as this car still looks good. I have some photos of the process. Car was originally Dark Green. Car was repainted R6 Red and the paint looks great. I get compliments on the paint finish all the time. Engine was rebuilt as a high performance 383 with a new camshaft, 4-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust. Old carburetor was gummed up and impossible to adjust, so I replaced with a brand new Holley. Car idles and runs very nicely. Car is in excellent shape. Body is clean of rust and very straight. It does have some small bubbles on the quarter panel over the right rear tire and on the Dutchman panel – both areas are hardly noticeable, but they are there. Underbody has some rust that will eventually need to be fixed, but not too bad, in my opinion. I have added New White Convertible Top and Back Glass and had the Air Conditioning fixed. I have also installed a new Battery, Engine Wiring Harness, and I upgraded the Alternator and Voltage regulator to the 1970 Chrysler design. I installed a new Fuel Tank sending unit (Gas Gauge now works). I also had the rear axle rebuilt, new pinion and differential bearings, and upgraded the differential from a standard to an Eaton Truetrac. 2.76 Gear set was swapped for a 3.55 by the previous owner. Engine is an Original Numbers Matching Engine 383. Transmission is the Original Numbers Matching 727 and it shifts smooth. Transmission does hesitate at cold start, but as it warms up it performs very nicely. I have a rebuilt 727 that I picked up that will come with the car. I have completely replaced all brake components. Master Cylinder, Power Brake Booster, Wheel Cylinders, and brake shoes are new. Drums were turned. Car stops great. Power steering Interior is in great shape – White Seats / Black Carpet & Door Panels Exterior: Again this is a solid and straight car. However, the car does have a few minor dings and scratches that you would expect on a car of this vintage. Dings are mainly on the chrome trim and bumpers. All electrical functions as it should. I have tried to be as thorough as possible with my description of the vehicle, but there is a chance that I may have missed something. I welcome any and all questions and I welcome any vehicle inspections. I have a clear Michigan Title. Freight and applicable taxes will be the responsibility of the buyer. Car is listed for sale locally so I reserve the right to cancel this offer at any time. Car is being sold as-is with no warranty. I can send you any photos that you may need. |

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
Chrysler recalling 700k minivans and Dodge Journey for ignition switch woes
Tue, 01 Jul 2014General Motors isn't the only automaker with ignition switch problems. Chrysler is fighting it too and is now announcing a recall of 695,957 examples worldwide of the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans from the 2008-2010 model years, plus the 2009-2010 Dodge Journey.
According to a statement from Chrysler, the models have a bad wireless ignition node detent ring in the ignition switch, making it possible for drivers to appear to have the key in the "Run" position but for the spring not to fully engage. It can then slip back to the "Accessory" position and shut the car off. If this happens, the vehicle loses power steering, brake boost and the airbags.
There is some disparity about the number of vehicles affected under this recall. In its statement, Chrysler claims that it covers 525,206 vehicles in the US, 102,892 in Canada, 25,591 in Mexico and 42,268 elsewhere. However, the recall announcement posted by The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration lists an estimated 438,109 vehicles in the US. Chrysler spokesperson Nick Cappa told Autoblog via email that the reasoning for the different figures "will become clear at a later date."
Chrysler fires protest organizer at MI assembly plant
Tue, 12 Mar 2013Chrysler has reportedly fired a Warren Stamping Plant worker for what the company is calling a violation of its code of conduct. Alex Wassell (left), a 20-year veteran with the automaker, was suspended without pay after he was quoted in an article in The Detroit News. The 63-year-old welder repairman helped organize a demonstration against a new work schedule and was protesting outside the Michigan plant on February 28 when he was interviewed. Chrysler then fired Wassell when the paper published his comments. Wassell, has since filed a grievance and says that he's looking for an amicable settlement between his union and his former employer.
Meanwhile, multiple civil liberties groups have spoken out against Chrysler's decision to dismiss Wassell. Both the National Lawyer's Guild and the American Civil Liberties Union have released statements on the situation, with the ACLU saying "Employees have a right to air their grievances, even if that means a public demonstration or a comments to the media."
According to The Detroit News, Chrysler spokesperson Jodi Tinson said that Wassell was fired for "engaging in activity constituting or appearing to constitute a conflict with the interest of the company."
