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.

Ferrari IPO could come any day now

Sun, Jul 12 2015

According to Bloomberg, Fiat Chrysler Automotive Sergio Marchionne told reporters at the Toronto Global Forum that the Ferrari IPO could come any day now. "We are days away from filing the prospectus," said Marchionne, who declined to confirm whether rumors of involvement from UBS Group AG, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Goldman Sachs Group were accurate. In addition to an expected filing in New York, Marchionne hinted that a secondary filing could take place in Milan, Italy. Although the FCA Chief Executive didn't offer any expected sum for Ferrari, he had previously suggested that an IPO for the iconic Italian brand could be worth $1 billion, ringing the registers to the tune of 10 percent of the company's $11 billion valuation. According to Bloomberg, that potential sum is significantly higher than its own internal figures indicate after taking a poll of analysts who we assume must know a heck of a lot more about such things than we do. Considering how close we apparently are to the actual filing, though, we probably won't have to wait long to find out. Another hot topic any time Sergio is the subject of reporter questioning is a potential merger with General Motors or another large, full-line automaker. It seems there aren't any new revelations to reveal on the consolidation front, though Marchionne told reporters there were no plans to mount a hostile takeover of GM or any "other, less optimal" partners.

Fiat Chrysler's London offices will be small, with financial focus

Tue, 20 May 2014

Fiat Chrysler's decision to locate its new corporate headquarters in jolly old London won't herald a sprawling relocation effort. Instead, it's very likely that the FCA outfit will be a small one, primarily focused on finance.
The report comes from Automotive News Europe, which claims FCA's London office will employ about 50 people with backgrounds in finance. CEO Sergio Marchionne and Fiat Group Chairman John Elkann will both have offices at the corporate headquarters, as well.
ANE cites an anonymous source that claims the people employed at the London office will focus primarily on treasury operations. It's unlikely that FCA will take on any additional employees specifically for its UK offices. That said, FCA isn't likely to downsize either its Turin or Auburn Hills offices once London comes online.

Stellantis mega-merger gets approval from FCA, PSA shareholders

Mon, Jan 4 2021

MILAN — Shareholders of Fiat Chrysler and PSA Peugeot decisively voted Monday to merge the U.S.-Italian and French carmakers to create worldÂ’s 4th-largest auto company. Addressing separate meetings, both PSA Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares and Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann spoke of the “historic” importance of the vote, which combines legacy car companies that helped write the industrial histories of the United States, France and Italy. Before the merger is finalized, shares in the new company, to be called Stellantis, must the launched. It will be traded in Milan, New York and Paris. The marriage of PSA Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is built on the promise of cost-savings in the capital-hungry industry, but what remains to be seen is if it will be able to preserve jobs and heritage brands in a global market still suffering from the pandemic. The deal will create the worldÂ’s fourth-largest carmaker, with the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, behind Volkswagen, Toyota and Renault-Nissan, and create 5 billion euros in annual synergies.  “We are fully aware of the fact that together we will be stronger than individually,'' PSA CEO Carlos Tavares told a virtual gathering of eligible shareholders. “The two companies are in good health. These two companies have strong positions in their markets.” The new company will put together under one roof French mass-market carmakers Peugeot and Citroen, top-selling Jeep and Italian luxury and sports brands Maserati and Alfa Romeo - pooling companies that have helped define the industry in the United States, France and Italy. While the tie-up is billed as a merger of equals, the power advantage goes to PSA, with Tavares running Stellantis and holding the tie-breaking vote on the 11-seat board. Tavares is set to take full control of the company early this year, possibly by the end of January. Fiat Chrysler chairman John Elkann, heir to the Fiat-founding Agnelli family and Fiat ChryslerÂ’s biggest shareholder, will be the Stellantis chairman. Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will head North American operations, which is key to Tavares' long-time goal of getting a U.S. foothold for the French carmaker he has run since 2014, and the clear money-maker for Fiat Chrysler. Such a deal was long wanted by Fiat ChryslerÂ’s long-time CEO Sergio Marchionne, who had predicted the necessity of consolidation in the industry. He was unable to find a deal before his sudden death in July 2018.
