Amazing Project Car!! 1950 Crysler Windsor . Low Reserve on 2040-cars
Dover, New Hampshire, United States
|
PLEASE ask all questions BEFORE bidding 1950 Chrysler Windsor 4 door sedan with Spitfire 251 straight 6 cylinder engine. This car has 69,000 original miles on it and is an absolutely perfect project car. I am the third owner, the second owner being my cousin who purchased it around 10 years ago from the original owner. The car is currently not running and I purchased it from my cousin with the hopes of restoring it, however finances became an issue and I don't have the money to invest. Haggerty Classic Car values the car at approximately $4600 dollars, but does not take into consideration the particulars of each car, so they are as follows: BODY: THE GOOD-The frame and body are near perfect, having been stored inside most of its life until my cousin got a hold of it and parked it outside. The door jams, fenders, roof, gas tank, trunk, body panels, doors, and all major parts are straight, have no dents and are relatively rust free aside from surface rust. THE BAD- The paint has oxidized considerably and the front driver and passenger side floor pans are rusted through and need to be replaced. The window weather striping was gone and water got into the carpet and was left wet sitting on the floor boards for several years causing very acute rot to the floor boards. I priced the welding out at about $700 to repair pretty easily. INTERIOR: The interior needs to be overhauled. The two bench seats are in relatively good shape considering. The door panels need to be replaced as does the headliner, carpet and A-Pillar coverings. The dash pad is in OK shape. Essentially I would just re do everything if you want to make it a daily driver. The sky is the limit on what you can spend doing interior work. ENGINE: The car is not currently running, however I did some basic diagnostics when I got the car. The engine turned over without any issues when I put a new battery in it. There was spark going to 2 out of the 3 plugs I checked and it sounded like there was compression in the cylinders as I could hear it through the carb. As far as fuel, the tank is completely empty and it appears that it had been drained a while back, which is a good thing. There is obviously quite a bit of dirt and grease on the engine components, but I don't see any obvious leaks anywhere. I planned on simply getting it running and replacing fuel lines and other easy stuff instead of rebuilding the engine. The transmission is a "three on the tree" and switched through the gears without issue as far as I could tell. CHROME: The chrome is in fair condition. There is rust on front bumper and rear bumper. There is oxidation and pitting in grill and other trim. However there is also several places where the chrome is in great shape, like around the windows and front and rear windshield. The chrome is all original and there is nothing missing from the car, which saves a ton of money and time for a restoration. DASH PANEL AND GAUGES AND INTERIOR COMPONENTS: There is absolutely nothing missing from the original vehicle, even down to the original cigarette lighter. The knobs, radio, clock, heater levers are all there. When I hooked up the new battery, the clock started ticking and the gauges worked, which surprised me greatly. The steering wheel needs replacing or re done. The emblems are also in good condition. The door handles and window cranks are all there and in working order. BRAKES: I have not had a chance to look into it, but I would always assume the lines need to be checked for replacement and the wheel cylinders need re building, new shoes etc. TIRES AND RIMS: The tires need to be replaced with white walls STEERING AND FRONT END COMPONENTS: These all appear in working order and I would not expect to need replacing for a daily driver. GLASS: All original and intact. There is a small crack in the rear venting window but other than that, near perfect. TITLE: We do not have the original title The bottom line is this, as with all restoration projects there is a lot of work to be done.If you plan on restoring this to a showroom original quality you probably already know more about it than I do. PAYMENT: Payment must be made within 72 hours of auction close. BUYER assumes all costs related to shipping. BUYER must arrange shipping and pick-up of vehicle. Desoto De Soto |

2015 Chrysler 200 snags EPA ratings of 18 mpg city and 29 highway
Tue, 25 Mar 2014While Chrysler hasn't officially announced fuel economy figures for its new 200 sedan, the information for one model has just leaked out thanks to the US Department of Energy's FuelEconomy.gov website. It certified the 200 with the 295-horsepower and 262-pound-feet 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive as getting 18-miles-per-gallon city, 29-mpg highway and 22-mpg combined.
Last year's front-wheel drive 200 with a less-powerful version of the Pentastar was rated at 19-mpg city, 29-mpg highway and 22-mpg combined. That means that buyers are getting more power and all-wheel drive traction at almost no loss in economy. However, compared to current, all-wheel drive sedan competitors, the Chrysler comes in the middle. The Ford Fusion with all-wheel drive with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder has 240 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque is somewhat down on power but bests it in economy at 22-mpg city, 31-mpg highway and 25-mpg combined. The current Subaru Legacy 3.6R loses in both metrics with 256 hp and 247 lb-ft and a rating of 18-mpg city, 25-mpg highway and 20-mpg combined. However, Subaru claims the next generation with the same engine will boast 20-mpg city, 28-mpg highway and 23-mpg combined. But these numbers are just estimates from the automaker at the moment, and they haven't yet been certified by the EPA yet.
The numbers for the four-cylinder and front-wheel drive 200 drivetrains are not yet available, but Chrysler has been promising the sedan gets an estimated 35-mpg highway with the 184-hp and 173-lb-ft Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. We won't know for sure until it's certified, but we'll keep you posted.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
