1951 Chrysler New Yorker convertible, original Hemi V-8 in great running condition, fully operational. Car started life in California (have origin owner's registration cards to prove it), later Indiana. This Chrysler has never been hit, has NO rot thru (with exception of a small area below trunk lid, and on base of spare tire carrier), and every body panel is super straight. Doors hang perfectly, close precisely, convertible top operates freely, no binding, however, top motor does not work, pistons are disconnected to allow manual operation. All chrome and trim is present and duplicate pieces are included, too. All glass is in good condition, no cracks, all window mechanisms work smoothly. Floors are perfect, body mounts are solid, frame is perfect, body panels fit well. There is surface rust in spots but NO rot. I replaced the trunk lid, which was heavily pitted, with another of same year and primed, painted it with left over paint, just to prevent rust. You can have the original if you wish. Sills are in great shape as is trunk floor. Car has had fresh oil and filter change, fresh tune up. Motor runs whisper quiet, always maintains 40 lbs of oil pressure. The Fluid Torque transmission shifts perfectly and operates as an automatic. Clutch is required to engage Drive or Reverse, after you can just go and stop as with an automatic without using the clutch. Occasionally the throw out bearing does do some squealing as if running dry. This is not your ordinary Fluid Drive Transmission but, instead, an expensive factory option. Car has amazing power and fast smooth acceleration. Steering and front end are tight, not sloppy. Brakes have been rebuilt and stop perfectly. Exhaust system, while not new, is quiet. Tires look almost new but, unfortunately, were purchased a long time ago and are developing hard spots and dry rot. Definitely need replacement. Check the prices on restored models and you will see these cars selling for 40K or more! You will not find a better restoration candidate or a more desirable antique car. I DO have the title as well as many previous owners' registration cards. Purchaser is responsible for pick up and transportation of vehicle. A $500 deposit is required within 24 ours of auction end. Balance is due within 7 days. I have described this car as accurately as possible, based on my many years of experience working on antique cars. I am not selling the vehicle with any guarantees, stated or implied. |

Detroit automakers gain market share simultaneously for first time in 20 years
Wed, 01 May 2013While monthly sales figures might be an easy way of tracking the progression of the auto industry and individual automakers, looking at market share might be more indicative of how each company is actually standing up against its competitors. For the Detroit Three automakers, they have collectively lost almost 30 percent of the market over the last 20 years, but now, for the first time since 1993, Ford, General Motors and Chrysler have each posted market share gains at the same time.
According to Automotive News, Ford's share increased the most by 0.7 percent, GM was up 0.5 percent and Chrysler rose marginally by 0.2 percent, giving the Detroit automakers a total market share of 45.6 percent. As for the Japan's Big Three, the article reports that Toyota is up by 0.7 percent, Nissan is down the same amount and Honda has seen "little change."
Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable
Sun, 10 Aug 2014A pair of cyber security experts have awarded the ignominious title of most hackable vehicles on American roads to the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, 2014 Infiniti Q50 and 2015 Cadillac Escalade.
Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek are set to release a report at the Black Hat hacking conference in Las Vegas, Automotive News reports. The two men found the Jeep, Caddy and Q50 were easiest to hack based not on actual tests with the vehicles, but a detailed analysis of systems like Bluetooth and wireless internet access - basically, anything that'd allow a hacker to remotely gain access to the vehicle's systems.
Considering this lack of hands-on testing, the pair acknowledge that "most hackable" could be a relative term - they point out that the vehicles may actually be quite secure.
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.
