Four Door Hardtop Original Condition Daily Driver, Clean Title on 2040-cars
Lake City, California, United States
When I got this car from a neighboring farmer it had died in his field. I was going to part it out for another Chrysler but when I got it home a friend who restores cars insisted that I switch plans and fix this car instead. To get back to a driver I had to rebuild everything I touched. The original 361 was toast. I received a Dodge Charger 383 which I rebuilt and modified to fit and bolt up to the Newport. With a fine road worthy car I started using it in the mid 80's as my family car. The original paint and upholstery were good enough once I put saddle blanket seat covers on the front and back seats. There is some rust around the trunk lid though it never has been an issue in the uses of the car. The radio was gone when I got it so I installed a CD player. You may not be interested, but I do have a 1961 Chrysler Windsor that can be made available as a parts car for this car. It has a radio. I had to search the world to eventually find brand new tail light lenses in Australia. In the past I used the car to cruse around our very rural valley or go on 350 mile trips to my parent's farm or to our big town (Reno) to get supplies. The car has a type of power assist brakes, a push button Torque flight transmission, AFB Carburetor, tinted windows, "Dashmat" dash cover of a sun damaged padded dash, owner installed carpeted floors. The dash lights work part of the time which I have found means a dirty ground on the power inverter under the dash. I would not be concerned about driving it away as is. I have a fleet of running/licensed old cars ranging back to the 30's and simply can not drive them all enough to justify keeping the Newport any longer. I have loved this car and it's service. |

Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
2015 Chrysler 200 caught looking good after leaking out
Tue, 07 Jan 2014We can't yet share all the details on the 2015 Chrysler 200 sedan, but we can direct your attention to the image above, which was published by the boys at Jalopnik after Chrysler reportedly let it out by accident. As you can see, the new 200 will be a nicely styled piece of machinery.
According to leaked documentation, the 2015 Chrysler 200 will come with the buyer's choice of a 2.4-liter Tiger Shark four-cylinder engine with 184 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque or a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 boasting 295 horses and 262 lb-ft. Those ponies will be routed through a nine-speed automatic with a rotary gear selector, sending power to the front wheels. Alternatively, a high-tech all-wheel-drive system will be available that can electronically disconnect the rear axle, saving fuel.
Speaking of fuel efficiency, the 2015 200 will be able to achieve up to 35 miles per gallon on the highway, which is an impressive figure for this class. An on-sale date has yet to be announced, but the next 200 will start at $21,700 (plus $995 for destination) when it does finally hit dealerships.
