INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS ARE VERY WELCOME THIS 1961 CHRYSLER NEWPORT FOUR-DOOR SEDAN IS PRETTY MUCH AS FOUND AFTER A PERIOD OF MORE THAN 34 YEARS IN DEAD STORAGE IN A BUILDING WHICH HAD WOODEN FLOORS. NO ATTEMPT HAS BEEN MADE TO CRANK THE ENGINE USING THE STARTER. THE ENGINE TURNED QUITE FREELY WHEN A SOCKET AND RATCHET EXTENSION WERE ATTACHED TO THE HARMONIC BALANCER. THE THREE-SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTED VIA A FLOOR-MOUNTED LEVER. THERE IS NOTHING WHICH WOULD INDICATE THAT THIS CHRYSLER WAS CONVERTED TO MANUAL TRANSMISSION FROM AUTOMATIC. IT CLEARLY WAS BUILT AS A STANDARD SHIFT UNIT WITH MINIMAL EXTRA EQUIPMENT. THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR A/C. THE CAR DOES HAVE POWER DRUM BRAKES. WE SUSPECT THAT THIS BRAKE BOOSTER MAY HAVE BEEN ADDED AFTER DELIVERY. THE UNIBODY HULL IS SOLID. YOU WILL NOTE A SMALL AREA OF RUST-THRU AROUND THE HEADLIGHT AREA OF THE RIGHT FRONT FENDER. THE SEATS AND DOOR PANELS ARE VERY PRESENTABLE. THEY SHOULD CLEAN UP NICELY. A NEW HEADLINER WILL BE NEEDED. FRONT BUMPER REALLY SHOULD BE RECHROMED. REAR BUMPER IS GOOD. TIRES HOLD AIR OK BUT ARE VERY OLD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE PEDAL CURRENTLY SINKS TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR ROLLS AND THERE SHOULD BE NO MAJOR ISSUE LOADING THIS CAREFULLY ONTO A TRAILER OR ROLL-BACK USING THE PARKING BRAKE AND MANUAL TRANSMISSION TO CONTROL THIS MOVEMENT. I HAVE A CLEAN CURRENT MINESOTA TITLE IN MY NAME. THIS TITLE SHOWS THE ACCUMULATED MILEAGE AS "NOT REQUIRED". CURRENT ODOMETER READING IS SOMEWHERE UNDER 50,000 MILES AND IS BELIEVED TO BE ACTUAL. THE CHRYLSER MAY BE SEEN IN OAKDALE, MINNESOTA BY APPOINTMENT. THANKS FOR VIEWING THIS LISTING.

Chrysler 100, midsize CUV and plug-in hybrid minivan launch bid to go mainstream

Tue, 06 May 2014

The news just keeps on rolling from Auburn Hills today, as Fiat Chrysler continues to detail its five-year growth plan. This time round, we're talking about Chrysler. The troubled American brand has been limited in the past few years to the lamentable Sebring/200, the Town & Country and the 300, although that's likely to change in the coming years.
"The Chrysler brand is not luxury - it's not premium. Chrysler is the mainstream American brand," brand CEO Al Gardner said during today's presentation.
Gardner set a sales target of 800,000 units by 2018, which marks an increase of 350,000 units compared to its 2013 sales results. That's a pretty big ask for a brand that's struggled to define itself over the past decade.

Chrysler highlights Mopar lineup for SEMA

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

SEMA is all about aftermarket parts, and in Auburn Hills that all comes down to one name: Mopar. After having previewed its lineup for this year's Vegas tuner expo earlier this month, Chrysler has now revealed what may not quite be its full dossier of modified show cars, but a good portion of them.
All told Mopar is preparing 20 vehicles for display at SEMA this year. Among them you'll find the Ram Sun Chaser, a 1500 Quad Cab show truck kitted out in two-tone orange and black paint, a roof rack for surfboards, onboard shower and convertible tailgate. The white Fiat 500L is called the Adventurer and is modified for a more rugged look that could hint at the upcoming crossover version. The Jeep Cherokee Trail Carver upgrades on the Trailhawk package with everything from roof basket to rock rails. To counterbalance the off-roaders, there's also a modified Chrysler 300S with a deep black paint job, special grille, Varvatos-edition wheels and more.
All four concepts details so far have Katzkin interiors as well, and there's also an unspecified Dodge Durango with a storm-trooper look in the gallery above. But for more details on what Mopar has installed on the Ram, 500L, Cherokee and 300, you'll want to delve into the press release below.

Dodge shows can-do attitude with grand Can'avan sculpture

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

There are lots of ways to celebrate an important birthday, and all of them are well deserved. You can throw a big party, buy yourself something nice, or - if you're the altruistic type - do something for others in need. The latter is how Chrysler has opted to mark the 30th anniversary of its Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country.
Together with hunger-advocacy organization Canstruction, the Chrysler Foundation has built a full-scale replica of the Grand Caravan out of 30,000 food cans in the square at the corner of Yonge and Dundas in Toronto, a ways down the highway from where the real vans are built in Windsor. The sculpture was built over the course of 10 hours by 30 volunteers and was displayed earlier this week.
Now the installation is being taken down, and the cans of food are being donated to the Daily Bread Food Bank, which will assemble them into 2,000 food baskets to be distributed to those in need through its network of 200 food banks across the Canadian metropolis. Check out a neat time-lapse video of the build and the press release below.
