Beautiful 1969 Chrysler Newport Convertible on 2040-cars
Chico, California, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chrysler
Drive Type: Rear Wheel Drive
Model: Newport
Mileage: 39,900
Trim: 2 Door Convertible
Fabulous 1969 Chrysler Newport Convertible with a factory H-Code high performance 4-bb big block engine. This beauty has only 39,900 original miles! With her brand new Magna Flow Turbo mufflers, she purrs like a kitten. That is, until you press down on the gas and those 4 barrels open up, then she has the wonderful, throaty growl that only a big block mopar engine can make! She is very well optioned with this 330 HP/425 ft lbs powerplant featuring a dual snorkel air cleaner, dual exhaust, air conditioning, am/fm 8 track, power disc brakes, and factory cruise control. This powerful engine is backed up by a smooth shifting HD 727 Torqueflight transmission that feeds a bomb-proof 8 3/4 "489" rear axle with 3.23 gears. She has new shocks, (4) new Firestone radial tires, new fuel tank and sending unit, new waterpump, new starter, new 100amp alternator, viscous fan package, new cigar lighter, and the two new Magna Flow mufflers. When I bought her about 5 years ago, I had been researching '69 Road Runners, Super Bees etc. that also had the exact HP 383, torqueflight tranny, and the 8 3/4 rear end and they cost an averaged 40,000.00. So when I found this beauty for only 11,700.00 I snapped her up in a heartbeat! However, due to financial difficulties at this time, and declining health, I have to let her go. This low mileage Chrysler convertible has been meticulously taken care of, always garaged and covered, yet driven and enjoyed as well. During a recent drive to the redwoods over on the coast of northern California a rock chipped the windshield and resulted in a crack. I will be including a brand new replacement windshield in this auction. I'd like to get my money back which is around 13,500.00. However, I am listing this stunning car with a low starting bid of only 9999.00 and no reserve! 1969 was a great year for Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, yet less than 2500 convertible Newports were made. Here's your chance to own a wonderful, high performance, big block drop top for only 10 grand. Good luck bidding, (and if you're the lucky winner,) enjoy driving this fantastic convertible this summer!

Chrysler to veer away from 'Imported From Detroit' message?
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Claim some ground, control that ground and then expand. Chrysler, wandering the Earth like Kane from Kung-Fu when it came to brand message after the bailouts, pulled off the first two feats in only 120 seconds when its "Imported from Detroit" commercial aired during the 2011 Super Bowl. Two years later and now that the brand has a center in the minds of consumers, the Chrysler Group's head of marketing, Olivier Francois, says it's time to move away from the "Detroit" component of that slogan and express the "Imported" aspect.
It is, more precisely, about positioning Chrysler as genuine competition for imports and not Ford or General Motors, but rather Toyota on quality or Audi on technology. A report in Forbes said that Francois not only "wants to attract import owners to Chrysler vehicles by focusing on quality, technology, fuel economy and style," but to "take back the lead in these four things." That is the new understanding he wants people to infer from the idea of Detroit - that the nation's car capital isn't just a patriotic rallying point but a lively competitor for established giants.
Chrysler has been running ads that no longer refer to Detroit, and recent efforts have linked a specific character to each brand - like Jenny with Jeep and Steven with the Chrysler 300 - to create brand separation. Francois hasn't detailed what he plans to do to bolster Chrysler's upscale pretensions, but his efforts would be helped by CEO Sergio Marchionne loosing the pursestrings and the arrival of strong new product.
Wish you had a world-famous auto exec give your commencement speech? Watch this
Sat, 02 Feb 2013We've seen some pretty great commencement speeches over the years. There was Steve Jobs' incredibly inspiring Stanford address in 2005, John Stewart's insightful speech to the graduating class of William and Mary in 2004 and Steven Colbert's hilarious 2011 address at Northwestern, but automotive executives aren't strangers to honorary degrees. Former General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner spoke at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2011, and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne recently gave the keynote at Walsh College's 100th Commencement Ceremony. The executive knows a thing or two about success and following one's beliefs to fulfillment.
"I constantly encourage my co-workers at Fiat and Chrysler to go beyond the cliche and the conventional to try new approaches and change perspective each and every day," Marchionne said. "I exhort them not to repeat the same things, the same approaches, and I remind them they are indeed free. The freedom I am talking about is something inside you. It is determined by how open minded you remain, how receptive you are to the new and to the different, to the infinite possibilities that present themselves even if you don't go looking for them or could never have imagined. Being free means that you have the strength not to be conditioned by what others want you to do or by what may seem to be the easiest choice."
Amen to that. You can check out the brief press release on the address below as well as a video of a few highlights from the speech.
2015 Chrysler 200 sheds its frumpy past, V6 comes with AWD standard
Mon, 13 Jan 2014
The 2015 200 is the automotive equivalent of an ugly duckling turning into a swan.
In 2004, Chrysler's fullsize offerings were the lamentable Concorde and 300M - a pair of bloated, plasticky barges that hadn't received significant attention since before the dawn of the new millennium. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Chrysler unveiled its new 300, which rode on the bones of a Mercedes-Benz E-Class and had the look of a Rolls-Royce with a thug-life upbringing. It was cool.
