1955 Chrysler New Yorker Convertible ~ 300 Clone
This car was cloned into a 300 early in it's life and was driven that way until it was partially disassembled for restoration in the 1980's. The car has sat indoors ever since.
Power windows, locks, and seat.
All convertible top hardware is intact
The body is extremely solid and straight. The trunk floor, pans, doors, fenders, etc. show no visible rust, but there is some in the right outer rocker. The inner rockers are fine.
The car includes the following Chrysler 300 parts ~
'56 354 hemi with dual quad intake, carbs, batwing air cleaner, chrome dimple valve covers (for sold rockers), and the real deal four bolt flange exhaust manifolds. Engine is disassembled but appears to be intact and rebuildable.
'56 TorqueFlite transmission
'55 300/imperial front grill assembly
'55 300 bumpers, trim amd badges
NOS tail light, rechromed bezels
Also included in the sale is a very complete and running 1955 New Yorker Deluxe four door for parts or restoration. Photos attached. I might consider selling these cars separately, but would prefer to do so as a package.
Too much to list and answer, so lets have a conversation and make a deal. I will not separate this package until I have exhausted trying to sell it as a package. I'm in no rush.
I will answer emails and phone calls as quickly and as accurately as possible. Unlimited photos available upon request.
I purchased this car on a whim a few weeks ago because I already owned the '55 four door parts car. Before I even removed the convertible from the trailer I was given the opportunity to purchase a '37 Zephyr coupe from the original owners grand daughter, and obviously need to seize that once in a lifetime opportunity. I also need to focus on my '56 Fury, AAR Cuda, '50 Wayfarer Spotabout Roadster, and max wedge Fury, and Bonneville racer www.fastfourspecial.com

I will be listing several other cars and/or projects over the next few weeks (a few are on my website under wanted/for sale) so stay tuned.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
Is it time for American carmakers to give up on dual-clutch transmissions? [w/poll]
Mon, 22 Jul 2013Last week, in the midst of Detroit's first days seeking relief in Chapter 9 of the bankruptcy code, Automotive News contributor Larry P. Vellequette penned an editorial suggesting that American car companies raise the white flag on dual clutch transmissions and give up on trying to persuade Americans to buy cars fitted with them. Why? Because, Vellequette says, like CVT transmissions, they "just don't sound right or feel right to American drivers." (Note: In the article, it's not clear if Vellequette is arguing against wet-clutch and dry-clutch DCTs or just dry-clutch DCTs, which is what Ford and Chrysler use.) The article goes on to state that Ford and Chrysler have experimented with DCTs and that both consumers and the automotive press haven't exactly given them glowing reviews, despite their quicker shifts and increased fuel efficiency potential compared to torque-converter automatic transmissions.
Autoblog staffers who weighed in on the relevance of DCTs in American cars generally disagreed with the blanket nature of Vellequette's statement that they don't sound or feel right, but admit that their lack of refinement compared to traditional automatics can be an issue for consumers. That's particularly true in workaday cars like the Ford Focus and Dodge Dart, both of which have come in for criticism in reviews and owner surveys. From where we sit, the higher-performance orientation of such transmissions doesn't always meld as well with the marching orders of everyday commuters (particularly if drivers haven't been educated as to the transmission's benefits and tradeoffs), and in models not fitted with paddle shifters, it's particularly hard for drivers to use a DCT to its best advantage.
Finally, we also note that DCT tuning is very much an evolving science. For instance, Autoblog editors who objected to dual-clutch tuning in the Dart have more recently found the technology agreeable in the Fiat 500L. Practice makes perfect - or at least more acceptable.
Chrysler nets $1.6B income in Q4, Fiat profit up 5%
Wed, 29 Jan 2014Chrysler announced its 2013 financial results today and unveiled its new name and decidedly bank-like logo. Amid the announcement, Chrysler posted big gains in income, while Fiat didn't perform to analysts' expectations.
For 2013, Chrysler had revenue of $72.1 billion, up 10 percent from 2012. Net income reached $2.8 billion, a 65-percent increase. It was the company's third straight year of annual profits.
In terms of unit sales, Chrysler sold 2.4 million cars worldwide in 2013, up 9 percent. According to Automotive News, 1.8 million of those vehicles were sold in the US, a 14-percent increase. The sales growth boosted Chrysler's US market share to 11.4 percent, up 0.2 percent.
