1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham Hardtop 4-door 6.6l on 2040-cars
Rock Springs, Wyoming, United States
|
1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham Great condition. Virtually no rust. Car runs
and drives. Pics of all interior flaws are provided. Otherwise, it is
excellent. There really isn’t any flaws on the body. It is about perfect. The
only flaw may be one small spot on the vinyl top that will be in a pic. Here is some additional info on the
cars. ·
The car supposedly has a rebuilt 400 engine
about ~8,000 miles ago according to previous owner (I cannot verify this
information). I bought the car several years from a guy who bought it from the
original owner. Therefore, it was in the original owners hands up until then. I
was told it was always garaged. The engine rebuild was done by profession shop,
but whoever did the rest of the installation didn’t do the greatest job. Some wires are not routed the best, coil
bracket is missing, it has holley carb instead of the original carb, etc. The
holley carb doen’t work the best on the car. I was going to find original carb
for the car. Engine sounds great (it still has new looking paint), but carb
needs tuning or new carb installed. ·
The antenna doesn't automatically go up and
down, and one window sometimes needs help going up and down. ·
No dashboard cracks. ·
No rust on bottom of car. Undercoating looks
perfect still. Some very few minor surface rust spots in engine compartment
just starting to show. ·
Tires are excellent ·
Mileage shows 22,000 but I’m guessing it is
122,000 miles ·
There appears to be some leaking current or
short. If the car sits for a couple weeks without running, the battery will
die. Battery will likely need replaced. ·
The driver side window needs a little “help” the
last inch to close. |

What will the next Presidential limo look like?
Thu, 25 Jul 2013With recent news that the Secret Service has begun soliciting proposals for a new armored limousine, we've been wondering what the next presidential limo might look like. The current machine, nicknamed "The Beast", has a design based on a car that's no longer sold: the Cadillac DTS. If General Motors gets the job again, which wouldn't be a surprise considering the government still owns a chunk of the company, the next limo's shape would likely resemble the new XTS (below, left). But Cadillac hasn't always been the go-to car company for presidential whips.
Lincoln has actually provided far more presidential limousines throughout history than Cadillac. In fact, the first car modified for Commander-in-Chief-carrying duty was a 1939 Lincoln K-Series called "Sunshine Special" used by Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the last Lincoln used by a president was a 1989 Town Car ordered for George H.W. Bush. If President Obama wanted a Lincoln today, it would likely be an amalgam of the MKS sedan and MKT crossover, as illustrated above.
And what about Chrysler? The only record we could find of a President favoring the Pentastar is Nixon, who reportedly ordered two limos from the company during his administration in the '70s, and then another one, known today as the "K-Car limo," in the '80s after he left office. Obama, however, has a personal - if modest - connection to Chryslers, having owned a 300 himself before he took office. A 300-based Beast (above, right) would certainly earn the U.S. some style points.
2014 Chrysler 200 to set design tone for brand
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Speaking with Wards Auto at this year's Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler design chief Ralph Gilles said that the next-generation Chrysler 200 will launch a whole new styling direction for the brand when it arrives for the 2014 model year. Gilles did not reveal any specific design cues or elements that will be found on the next 200, only saying that the new car "shares no surface language with any previous Chrysler we've ever seen."
Indeed, the current 200 isn't exactly setting the world on fire with any sort of clever, emotive design, but Gilles knows that. "The current Chryslers on the road today certainly don't reflect where we're headed," he told Wards Auto. Instead, Gilles said that "we are deviating from where we are today, completely. It's a very different feeling (and) look."
The launch of the new Chrysler 200 will officially mean the death of its Dodge Avenger counterpart, though Gilles says that the company is working on an all-new product to replace that vehicle down the road. Still, Chrysler will need a successful player in the popular midsize segment, and Gilles fully expects the new 200 to be up to the task. "I think it's going to be a beautiful and relevant vehicle."
I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep
Thu, 30 May 2013The following is written by auto industry veteran Tow Kowaleski. The words are his own, but the memories now belong to everyone thanks to his willingness to share. If you're an industry veteran with a story to share, contact us at tipsATautoblogDOTcom.
It became the flame that started the fire of belief in the next life of Chrysler.
I just sold a car. Nothing new. Millions do it every day. But my car was a 1995 Dodge Viper, so maybe it was a bit more unique since just 12,000 were built. And like others selling a car that's been a part of the family for close to 20 years, this was a confluence of emotions for me. I was sad to see it go, but happy to have the cash and one less big, shiny, under-utilized object in my life.
