1978 Chrysler Newport Coupe ****40,000 Actual Miles***** on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
|
A TRUE time capsule, a survivor with just over 40,000 actual miles. Recently purchased from an estate this is probably the nicest original 36 year old car you'll find...anywhere!! LOOK CLOSE AT THE PICTURES AND REMEMBER THIS CAR HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO RESTORATION...EVER!! It wears it's original paint, interior and drive train. The spare tire was installed by Chrysler Corporation in 1978 and it's NEVER been on the ground!! And of course never any rust...ever!!
Mechanically the car runs and drives great!! I just drove the car 125 miles on the interstate at 75 mph. The cruise works perfectly and it's just a great driving and running car. For those of us my age, we remember how cra**y Chrysler's Lean Burn System cars ran. They didn't work very well when they were new. Well...this one is the exception to the Lean Burn rule!! It starts right up, no chugging and choking. And it doesn't "stumble" as you accelerate. It's impressive how it runs. Quiet and smooth. The four barrel carb kicks right down and has decent power for such a big car. The factory AC is ice cold still on R12 refrigerant. Brakes and shocks work as they should. The tires are excellent. Options..there are many: 400 4-barrel, power steering, brakes and power driver seat. Cruise control and tilt steering with telescoping wheel. Cornering lights, fender skirts, am-fm radio. Front split bench seat with dual arm rests. Light package. Even rare for the time "delay" windshield wipers too!! Cosmetically there are just a very few flaws. As seen in the pics a few scratches, minor road rash very low behind the rear wheels. The vinyl top has a small area that has "curled" as you can see. The dash pad is perfect, the glas is original and very nice. The headliner is drooping. It's being sold this way but there's a possibility I can have it replaced by auction ends..WATCH FOR UPDATES regarding I will post. Summing it up: This car is ready for summer cruise nights and local car shows. It's a great classic piece of American iron at it's best from the company that was called Chrysler Corporation!! The reserve is low...very low to enable anyone that wants a nice LOW MILEAGE classic car to own it. I NEED TO PUT THE CAP BUTTON ON...DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MEANS AND INTENTIONS TO BUY IT!! Have your financial affairs in order and permission from your spouse, partner or signifigant other PRIOR to bidding. ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. My phone is with me 24/7 and I'll answer your questions honestly and openly. Fly in drive the car home in total comfort, I can pick you up at the airport. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. The car is stored in a secure building. Winning bidder to send a $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal 48 hours end of auction. Balance to be paid within 7-days via bank to bank wire transfer, certified bank funds or cash when picked up. Remember...call me anytime with any questions Tom 402-650-3849 |

Recharge Wrap-up: Fiat 500X EV spotted? Senators request biodiesel increase
Thu, Feb 12 2015A group of 32 senators is asking the EPA to approve increased biodiesel volumes in the Renewable Fuel Standard. Delays in approving the RFS for 2014 forward is causing problems for the fuel produces affected by the law. "EPA's delays are endangering our industry," says Imperium Renewables CEO John Plaza. "Biofuel facilities around the nation are sitting idle, workers are being laid off, and some producers have been forced out of business entirely." Producers feel the EPA is underestimating domestic biodiesel production, and are concerned about importing fuel from Argentina. Read more in the press release below. Fiat Chrysler will help Israel develop a natural gas vehicle. The automaker, along with Iveco and Magneti Marelli, signed a memorandum of understanding with Israel's Prime Minister's Office as part of the Israel Fuel Choices Initiative. They are also considering extended research and development relationship with Israeli companies for alternative fuels and smart mobility. Israel seeks to become a hub for alternative fuel technology.

The photos, sent by a reader to Green Car Reports, show a camouflaged Fiat 500X that appears to lack a tailpipe, suggesting it could be an EV. It was photographed on its way to Chrysler's SRT Engineering Center, which builds specialized, low-volume vehicles. The gas-powered 500X debuted in North America at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, so camouflage seems a bit unusual at this point if it's just a standard powertrain. It's possible the car could be sold mainly in California to comply with the state's zero-emissions requirements for automakers.

The senators expressed concern about the agency's delays in implementing the RFS standards for 2014, 2015 and 2016, noting that the delays have created tremendous uncertainty for the U.S.
FCA spends $1.5 billion to retool plant for Ram production
Tue, Jul 26 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) is planning to invest $1.48 billion to retool its Sterling Heights Assembly plant in metro Detroit to build the next generation of the Ram 1500. The investment will allow the assembly plant to go from unibody to body-on-frame construction. FCA also confirmed that production of the Chrysler 200 will end in December in order for the plant to be altered. As previously reported, FCA is looking to move production of the 1500 from its current assembly plant in Warren to the Sterling Heights Assembly plant (both are in Michigan). While FCA has not released any official plans for the Warren Truck Assembly Plant, Automotive News reports that the plant will be retooled to manufacture the Jeep Wagoneer and Grand Wagoneer SUVs. Earlier this month, FCA announced plans to invest $1.05 billion to retool the Jeep Wrangler factory. FCA's current investment plans are part of the automaker's push to put competitive products on the road.

Fiat Chrysler will pay $70M to settle safety disclosure suit
Thu, Dec 10 2015FCA US will pay a $70 million civil penalty to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for failing to submit Early Warning Report data going back to 2003. The automaker will also provide any missing data since that time, and an auditor will monitor future compliance. NHTSA says the failures to report this information "stem from problems in FCA's electronic system for monitoring and reporting safety data, including improper coding and failure to account for changes in brand names." There are no allegations of any intentional deception by the automaker. NHTSA will wrap up the latest fine with the previous consent order against FCA US earlier this year for the automaker's handling of 23 recalls. The company will know owe the safety regulator a total of $140 million in cash, and there will be possibility of $35 million more in deferred penalties if FCA doesn't comply with the agency's requests. In a statement about the fine to Autoblog, FCA US said the automaker "accepts these penalties and is revising its processes to ensure regulatory compliance." The company strongly believes that it didn't miss any safety problems over the time with this problem. Early Warning Reports include information on deaths, injuries, crashes, and other potential safety concerns, and NHTSA often uses the data in investigations for possible recalls. In September, the safety agency first announced the automaker failed to submit these documents. At the time, the regulator's administrator Mark Rosekind promised to "take appropriate action after gathering additional information on the scope and causes of this failure." FCA US also released a statement then about the lapse and said the company notified NHTSA immediately after discovering the problem. FCA US is not the first company to run afoul of NHTSA's reporting requirement. The agency fined Triumph Motorcycles and Honda this year for similar lapses. It also punished Ferrari in 2014. U.S. DOT Fines Fiat Chrysler $70 million for Failure to Provide Early Warning Report Data to NHTSA WASHINGTON – The U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has imposed a $70 million civil penalty on Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) for the auto manufacturer's failure to report legally required safety data. The penalty follows FCA's admission in September that it had failed, over several years, to provide Early Warning Report data to NHTSA as required by the TREAD Act of 2000.
