This is an awesome 1964 Chrysler Newport with a 361 cu. in. motor and automatic transmission. Transmission is push button on dash. Car has only 53,600 miles! This car runs and drives great! It has power steering and steers so easily you can drive it with one finger. Car rides very smoothly and feels like you are floating on a cloud while going down the road. I bought the car a few years ago from my uncle and I had planned to restore it for my daughter but she is more interested in a pickup we are working on and I don't have the time and money for both. The paint is original, as far as I know. The body is straight and in excellent shape except for some rust in the wheel wells and some scratches along passenger side where my uncle hit a mailbox and messed it up a bit. Trim piece on passenger door is dinged up. There are also a couple minor spots where paint is chipped and a bit of surface rust has started. The scratches on passenger side weren't fixed the best and the touch-up paint is coming off and the doors need to be sanded down and painted better. Front fender emblems are missing. I have the letters for the trunk except it is missing the s and one r. The interior is 50 years old and shows it. Front seat is splitting at the seams and looks much better with a seat cover. Top of rear seat is brittle and cracking. Headliner has a couple holes from mice getting into it. I would feel confident driving this car anywhere. It could use new tires. I haven't replaced them because I was planning on buying new rims and tires together. It still has 14" tires and I was going to upgrade to 15" or 16" but have not had the chance. I have 3 original hub caps for the 14" and also 3 hubcaps for 15" that I will throw in with it. Car has new brakes, battery, alternator and voltage regulator. It rides smoother than many new cars. It will cruise at 70 mph all day with no problem. It does not have a/c- another reason my daughter isn't as interested in it. The driver side rear door armrest is broken. The driver's side rear window regulator broke so I have the window up and took the handcrank off. It looks like it could be welded back together and probably could even be fixed with j.b. weld. Trunk is in good shape with only a couple rust holes. Fuel lines eventually need replaced. They were broken so I have fixed it with rubber fuel line and just haven't gotten around to putting metal line back in yet. Right taillight bezel is broken. Dash pad has warped in the heat on right side. I have tried to list all damage I can think of. I don't want anyone to get it and have any surprises. If you have any questions, please email me here or call me at 641-208-6955. I think that this is really a great car and with a little tlc it could really be awesome again. It gets lots of attention as it is already. I would love to have the time and money to put fresh paint on it and new wheels and tires. The motor has a lot of power. Would make an awesome sleeper with different intake and a 4 barrel carburetor.

2015 Chrysler 200
Thu, 20 Mar 2014For the last seven years, the Chrysler Sebring/200 has been a car that few people have managed to say anything good about. When you saw one on the road, it was probably silver and you probably assumed it was rented - especially if it was a convertible. In fact, this writer has never been in one. Ever. I've only watched them go by, trailed always by a roiling wake of invective and vituperation, a lone defender or two asserting meekly and in vain, "It's actually not that bad..."
With roughly 2.3-million units sold every year in the midsize sedan segment where the 200 lives, even tallying 125,476 sales in 2012 (when the 200 was the best-selling car in the Chrysler Group) was never going to be enough. This is the brand's volume offering and the entry point for new-car buyers before they move up to something like a full-size or a crossover. Chrysler's 2011 facelift and rebranding program was a pretty valiant attempt at putting lipstick on a Sebring, but the automaker needed to do a lot better, in every way to command more consideration, sales, respect and resale value - and everyone at The Pentastar knew it.
Enter the 2015 Chrysler 200. This is the sedan that "charts a new course for the Chrysler brand," from its hovering wing badge on the grille to the one billion dollars invested in the company's suburban Detroit Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, including more than doubling the number of quality control inspectors in the new quality assurance center.
Four-horse race opens up for next Chrysler-Fiat CEO
Mon, 16 Dec 2013
There are some companies that could change leadership overnight and still remain more or less the operations that they are. But some have built themselves up around one central figure. Just ask Carlos Tavares, who found he couldn't escape the long shadow of Renault-Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn. Tavares recently left to find his own limelight. But Ghosn isn't the only executive who presides over two disparate automakers on opposite ends of the globe.
Having built up Fiat and Chrysler around himself, we can hardly imagine either automaker getting along without Sergio Marchionne. But the day will come when the famously sweater-clad bigwig will step down. The pressing questions remain when when that day will come, and who will take his place. The only solid clues we have are in the statements made mostly by Marchionne himself, but those statements have been all over the place. When speaking to Automotive News in 2012, he said he would step down "no earlier than 2013, no later than 2015." But a year later, he had already seemingly changed his tune, indicating he could still be at the helm in 2016. Fiat chairman John Elkann seems to think Marchionne, 61, could and should stay on longer.
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.
