Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

Survivor!  Mileage is accurate at 15,483 and works out to 344 miles per year! Third owner.  The only changes are new measurement-correct Coker tires (to replace the 1969 originals), front discs to replace original drums (it actually stops now but I still have the original drums if you like to live on the edge) and electronic ignition.  Otherwise, stock.  The way she rolled out of the factory.  

Base model '69 Newport. No Air, no tilt, no cruise, no P Windows or P Locks. AM only radio.  Clock not working but that's it. Always garaged.  A pristine monument to gigantic cars that will never come again.  This vehicle was originally purchased in Jamestown, NY where it actually was driven for by a little old lady.  I purchased it from her relatives in Binghamton NY and drove it across the continent 10 years ago.  It never gave me any trouble...except...no cupholders.  Has a 383 2-barrel that actually gets decent mileage.

I have service orders from the original owner that show the vehicle was serviced at McFadden Chrysler in Jamestown.  What's interesting is the first work order is from July 10, 1995 and shows a mileage on the car of 10,195.  A year later, a work order from the same dealer dated July 11, 1996 shows a mileage of 10,313.  That's 118 miles in one year.

If you're looking for a no-restoration-needed, pristine sedan, here it is.  Vehicle located in beautiful Victoria, British Columbia, Canada.

Note:  Odometer photo indicates 15,481.  Since then I've driven it around the block a couple of times.  Started up like a champ.  The correct mileage is 15,483.

Located in Canada.  Will sell to Canada and the United States. (Lower 48 states)

Chrysler, Nissan looking into claim that their cars are industry's most hackable

Sun, 10 Aug 2014

A 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.

NHTSA closes book on Jeep 'trailer hitch' recall after all

Mon, 20 Jan 2014

After much debating and hand-wringing, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration now says it has "no reservations" with Chrysler's plan to recall certain Jeep Liberty and Grand Cherokee models over concerns that their fuel tanks, which are located behind the rear axle, could rupture or leak in the event of a rear impact. The longstanding argument between the two entities saw Chrysler openly defy the Feds after a request to recall 2.7 million units back in June.
Chrysler's "voluntary campaign" will instead see it recall 1.56-million 1993-2004 model year Grand Cherokee SUVs, along with 2002-2007 Liberty models. Affected vehicles will get a trailer hitch installed free of charge, which Chrysler says will provide an additional degree of protection for the fuel tanks in the event of a crash. Jeeps with Mopar-branded hitches or hitches that were installed at the factory aren't affected by this recall.
Chrysler's argument throughout this battle has been that the Jeeps in question are no more susceptible to fires than comparable vehicles from the same time period, a position that NHTSA has seemingly arrived at as well. "Those vehicles performed at a rate similar to their peers. That is the keystone analysis as to whether something poses an unreasonable risk to safety," said outgoing NHTSA boss David Strickland during an interview with the The Associated Press.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.
