1962 Chrysler New Yorker Base 6.7l on 2040-cars
Holly, Michigan, United States
|
GENERAL: Very nice original 1962 Chrysler New Yorker. While not considered a "classic", this vehicle is still a great looking car of the care-free early sixties. Her name is Ethyl (though you can rename her). Vehicle has been owned by me and garage stored (covered) for the last 7 years. This was a running and driving car with working everything when I last used it. But that was a while ago. I haven't started the engine in a few years. So the only thing wrong with the car would be time and lack of use. Please review the pictures. Contact me with any or all questions and I will try to answer them.
EXTERIOR: The car has no visible rust. There are a few small bubble spots. Also some flaking/rub areas were the paint is off from the metal. Paint is Rosewood (taupey pink color). The paint on the sides of the vehicle is in better shape than the top surfaces. The hood and trunk surfaces have had the paint marred. It is cloudy and scratched up. It looks like someone who didn't know what they were doing took an orbital polisher to the surface. This is a very solid car. All trim is present. All doors, hood and trunk panels fit well and close tight. The Chrysler New Yorker emblem in the front grill is missing. Reproduction emblems can be ordered online. Radio antenna has been removed/broken (?) off. But is still with vehicle and fits back on the exterior mount. Rear Glass has been previously replaced.
INTERIOR: The interior is in overall good shape but upholstery needs cleaning. Of coarse smells musty due to age. There is one tear w/ tape on it on the drivers seat back cushion at the bottom. Headliner has holes: middle by sun visors, by passenger side front and rear, and in the rear back on both sides. Carpet has the normal wear and tear and looks like it has properly been replaced. Dash/Odometer has the clear dome panel..Pushbutton Transmission Gears. All switches and buttons are present and working.
ENGINE: Engine is a 413. The times I've run it, it wants to go like a bat out of hell. I never did any work on the engine and can't tell you much about it. Battery should have been disconnected, but was not.
CONCERNS: Tires: Probably need replacement. I'm not sure how old they are. They went flat from sitting, but when filled they hold the air again. Exhaust: The exhaust has a plastic/rubber tube in place of an exhaust pipe. Fuel: The previous owner was out of gas to show/run the vehicle, so he put some mix (oil/gas) in instead. Vehicle exhausted black smoke. The fuel tank would probably need to be drained/cleaned.
EXTRAS: There are several spare parts in a box. There are two rear taillight lenses and one taillight chrome bracket trim. 2 Chrome trim pieces - not really sure where they go. Carpet fabric for trunk. Extra chrome vent strips. Repair/Service Manual Build sheet & Paint Color Chart Owner Manual
The car is located in Michigan approx 1 hr north of Detroit or Ann Arbor. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Deposit is required within 48 hours of auction end. Payment is to be received within 10 days. Vehicle must be removed within two weeks of auction end. Once payment is made the sale will be final. Buyer is responsible for all transportation of the vehicle.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture
Fri, 01 Nov 2013There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.
Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.
