1961 Chrysler Newport 2door hardtop This is a long time COLORADO car, so its not all rusted out like a back-east car. The trunk was rusted out but I have patched in a rock solid trunk floor from a donor car (not thin and floppy like the patch panels) The floors are good in the back seat and passenger areas. The drivers area floor is rusted through, but I have a new patch panel that comes with. There is some collision damage (just scrape, not deep) on the right side, with some old bondo on it, there is still some dentage there. There is a rust though area near the left headlight that looks like a thin line about 3 inches long. The trim is good, some clips are loose, pot metal pieces are good compared to whats out there. The front seat is ok for a guy, but you wouldn’t sit your date on it. The back seat is out, springs good, needs recover. The astrodome dash lights up in blue luminescent, but the sppedo does not work. Maybe the cable? All glass is good, with only a small crack in the corner of the right rear side glass, and some minor wiper wear in the front. All windows regulate well. Brakes are all new with a Master kit from Kanter, master cylinder , hoses, 6 wheel cyliners and new shoes. The car has a new fuel tank, sending unit and pump. The car has original 361, which came with a 2bbl. I have converted to a 4bbl with period correct Mopar parts. She runs and drives, and with the nice patina, makes a beautiful head-turning rat rod, but its also a super solid platform for a restoration or custom. Smokes a little on startup, but smooths out after a while. The tranny looses fluid when sitting. After the level is back up, she shifts well and does not slip. The Wheels and tires are borrowed from another car. They are NOT included in this sale. They are new 15 x 7 Wheel Vintiques, with new 205/70 in front and 225/70 in back. You can buy them as an add-on for an extra $1000, or I will fit the car with “roller” tires, suitable for transport, but not for street use. Last year for Chrysler BIG FINS. This is your chance! Happy Independence Day! roysvintagecars Roy 303-988-0391 ps. I will not reveal the reserve price before auction close. |

Chrysler dealers terminated in bankruptcy still stuck in court
Mon, 14 Apr 2014Part of the deal for the federal bailouts of Chrysler and General Motors was that both organizations were required to trim their vast array of dealerships. This move did not sit well with the people that would be losing out on franchises, though, and in Chrysler's case, 148 of the shuttered dealers have fought for money they feel they are entitled to.
These dealers believe that they should be compensated by the federal government, as Chrysler wouldn't have trimmed its sales centers had it not been ordered to by Uncle Sam. Now, thanks to the ruling of three judges on the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the dealers will get a chance to argue their point.
According to Automotive News, the dealers argue that the mandatory shuttering of dealers was unconstitutional, because the federal government was taking property without compensation. If the dealers are victorious, not only would the government be out millions of dollars, but a precedent could be set that would allow similarly closed GM dealerships to cash in.
Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe
Tue, 18 Feb 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.
Chrysler 'at war' with world's largest Viper club?
Tue, 27 Aug 2013The situation was bound to boil over at some point. Grumblings from former and current members of the Viper Club of America, and letters sent from Chrysler to VCA president Lee Stubberfield, allege that the non-profit club is being run illegally as a for-profit business, Jalopnik reports.
The trouble reportedly started in 2007, when VCA member and former club national president Chris Marshall is alleged to have taken a paid position at the club courtesy of the acting board members at the time. By 2010, with the demise of the Dodge Viper looming, the VCA reportedly made a deal with Chrysler to to acquire a stash of old parts and tooling for the Viper. The stash would then be sold by the newly formed Viper Parts of America, a company that was supposed to be run by Marshall, Jalopnik reports.
This sounds like shady business to us - at the very least a conflict of interest. And it's said that the VCA will not hesitate to suspend - for a year or more - the memberships of those who oppose it.
