For sale, 1967 Chrylser Newport from the dry high desert. Just purchased from the original owner with docs including ownercard, warranty and original sales order from Wilson Motors in Butte, MT with a purchase price of $4,141 and all maintenance records. Title is the original issued in 1967. Found the original build sheets (2) under back seat in readable condition. Owner was a fussy engineer and car was mechanically very well maintained. Exterior weathered from outside storage and now it's wearing some great patina. Super solid foundation for a restoration or drive as for great entry level muscle classic - you won't find any better in this price range.  I'll do my best to describe this neat time capsule find below:

Exterior: Paint is original and weathered as shown. No cancer or rot, only minor surface rust. There is no salt used on the roads here in the land of the prickly pear cactus and sagebrush, and we only get 10 inches of total precipitation per year. Basically, every where there was a paint chip low on the car there is now surface rust spots. I've done some bodywork, and when you sand it for repaint, if you sprayed some neutralizer on it you'd be good to go. There's a lot of small specks but only a couple of noticeable spots, one above skirt on each side and one area on trunk deck.(shown) I had the car on a hoist, and there is no rot underneath and I don't see any areas of concern whatsoever - and I know where to look. We just don't see major rust issues here. The skirts were repainted as the originals were lost and a set of maroon ones were sourced and subsequently repainted. Trunk floor has only minor surface rust as shown. Glass is good except windshield, which is cracked as shown. Bumpers are dull and need rechromed. Exterior brightwork is good, only pitting I can see is on tail light bezels. There is a crease on the right front fender and door as shown, and the front fender chrome there is dinged.

Interior: All original. Headliner good, no major issues with door panels or carpet. Seats have splits as shown, with top of rear seat pretty baked. Dash has a few small cracks as shown. Driver armrest has a tear, and minor pitting on interior handles. Seat upholstery is inexpensive for these cars and that alone would bring the car right up to cruise night status. Everything on this car seems to work except radio, right down to all the little inside lights and trunk light. No rodent damage or smells. I've been driving it and even as is it gets compliments.

Mechanical: Here's the great part - mechanically she's up to snuff. Very well maintained, and 10 years ago the original owner took the car to the local Dodge dealership and had everything done the car needed - $2,000 in receipts. It's only had maintenance miles since then. Brakes (including master cylinder) were done, carb, radiator, front timing chain and seal, shocks, alternator, regulator, etc etc. Jump in and go, it's ready. Tires show good tread and no weather cracking but not sure how old they are. Nice throaty dual exhaust with new tail pipes. Original 383 provides grunt and moves this big car with muscle. Trans shifts great. No weird noises whatsoever. Starts, runs, stops, and drives out smooth. Underhood is neat and clean as can be. A few small leaks, nothing major. The fuel was never soured, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive the car as is. Driver window is a bit sloppy, thinking it needs felt runners replaced. Passenger window works great, rear windows are sticky and I didn't force them. This car is original and complete right down to the original jack and hardware still in the trunk.

Pricing/Misc: I got a good deal on this car and you will too. I see this era C body bringing stupid money when they are clean, especially from rust belt bidders. I guess it  must cost much more to fix  cancer and rot than to pay a few hundred bucks to ship a dry rig from the high desert. This car is a solid driveable project car, and it's priced accordingly. It seems that most of these cars for sale are either thrashed to death, or priced in the stratosphere. Reserve price is WAY under $2k for quick sale - great price on a classic 60's big block 2 door hardtop that you can jump in and drive today. Title is clear and open, signed off by original owner and ready to fill your name in as purchaser. There is a lien showing from 1967, but it's been long since paid and I called the DMV and they show no liens and I have a DMV form stating that. GOOD LUCK! Keep in mind that with all cars, THEY LOOK BETTER IN PICTURES THAN IN PERSON.  Keywords Mopar Chrysler 300 New Yorker Dodge Plymouth Mopar Polara Belvedere Roadrunner Charger Coronet Sport Fury Barracuda Challenger 440 400 426 340 Desoto Hemi ram wedge B RB magnum Satellite GTX

2014 Chrysler 200 to set design tone for brand

Sun, 20 Jan 2013

Speaking 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."

What will the next Presidential limo look like?

Thu, 25 Jul 2013

With 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.

I sold my Viper, but the memories I'll keep

Thu, 30 May 2013

The 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.
