This is an awesome 1964 Chrysler Newport with a 361 cu. in. motor and automatic transmission. Transmission is push button on dash. Car has only 53,600 miles! This car runs and drives great! It has power steering and steers so easily you can drive it with one finger. Car rides very smoothly and feels like you are floating on a cloud while going down the road. I bought the car a few years ago from my uncle and I had planned to restore it for my daughter but she is more interested in a pickup we are working on and I don't have the time and money for both. The paint is original, as far as I know. The body is straight and in excellent shape except for some rust in the wheel wells and some scratches along passenger side where my uncle hit a mailbox and messed it up a bit. Trim piece on passenger door is dinged up. There are also a couple minor spots where paint is chipped and a bit of surface rust has started. The scratches on passenger side weren't fixed the best and the touch-up paint is coming off and the doors need to be sanded down and painted better. Front fender emblems are missing. I have the letters for the trunk except it is missing the s and one r. The interior is 50 years old and shows it. Front seat is splitting at the seams and looks much better with a seat cover. Top of rear seat is brittle and cracking. Headliner has a couple holes from mice getting into it. I would feel confident driving this car anywhere. It could use new tires. I haven't replaced them because I was planning on buying new rims and tires together. It still has 14" tires and I was going to upgrade to 15" or 16" but have not had the chance. I have 3 original hub caps for the 14" and also 3 hubcaps for 15" that I will throw in with it. Car has new brakes, battery, alternator and voltage regulator. It rides smoother than many new cars. It will cruise at 70 mph all day with no problem. It does not have a/c- another reason my daughter isn't as interested in it. The driver side rear door armrest is broken. The driver's side rear window regulator broke so I have the window up and took the handcrank off. It looks like it could be welded back together and probably could even be fixed with j.b. weld. Trunk is in good shape with only a couple rust holes. Fuel lines eventually need replaced. They were broken so I have fixed it with rubber fuel line and just haven't gotten around to putting metal line back in yet. Right taillight bezel is broken. Dash pad has warped in the heat on right side. I have tried to list all damage I can think of. I don't want anyone to get it and have any surprises. If you have any questions, please email me here or call me at 641-208-6955. I think that this is really a great car and with a little tlc it could really be awesome again. It gets lots of attention as it is already. I would love to have the time and money to put fresh paint on it and new wheels and tires. The motor has a lot of power. Would make an awesome sleeper with different intake and a 4 barrel carburetor.

Detroit's new emergency city manager worked on Chrysler bankruptcy [w/video]
Fri, 15 Mar 2013
Kevyn Orr, the new emergency city manager of Detroit, has a history with one of Michigan's most famous residents: Chrysler. Governor Rick Snyder (at right) appointed Orr to the position yesterday with the belief that Detroit needs outside assistance to right the city's mounting financial woes. Orr (at left), a partner with the Jones Day law firm, will begin work on March 25 and receive $275,000 a year for his work. While state officials believe the new city manager will be able to complete his duties in 18 months, the contract is technically open-ended.
The 54-year-old attorney helped steer Chrysler through its 2009 bankruptcy, earning $700 per hour for his efforts. He was also instrumental in convincing the courts to allow Chrysler to shutter 789 dealerships in a single month. Orr says he's aware that his efforts won't have made him any friends in Southern Michigan.
Hot sales have Detroit automakers shortening summer shutdowns
Tue, 08 Jul 2014Back in May, there was speculation that the Detroit Three automakers would maintain or perhaps even extend their traditional summer shutdowns, mostly due to a bitingly cold winter that saw below-freezing temperatures infiltrate the southernmost reaches of the US, putting a chill on auto sales. Now, though, the numbers are in, and thanks to some promising sales figures, it looks like some domestic line workers are going to be working clear through July, in some cases.
According to Automotive News, Ford has slashed its traditional two-week hiatus for factory workers in half at four of its plants, while both Chrysler and General Motors will keep factories running nonstop (two plants in Chrysler's case and a third of GM's factories).
This is, as we said, thanks to some positive numbers. Chief among those is the Seasonal Adjusted Annual Rate, which was at an eight-year high of 17 million units. Individual figures were less promising. GM, embroiled in its recall scandal, still saw a one-percent increase while Ford dropped six percent in year-over-year sales. Chrysler was the big winner, though, with a nine-percent jump in June.
Chrysler recalling nearly half a million vehicles with active head restraints
Thu, 04 Jul 2013Chrysler has announced that it will recall roughly 490,000 vehicles around the globe due to a potential active head-restraint problem. The problem is being blamed on "potentially faulty microcontrollers" that may keep the vehicles' anti-whiplash active safety feature from working properly. Chrysler says it has no knowledge of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. Models covered under the recall include the 2011-2013 Chrysler Sebring, 200 (shown) and Dodge Avenger models, along with 2011-2013 Jeep Liberty and 2011-2012 Dodge Nitro SUVs.
Interestingly, the Pentastar notes that the faulty part came from an (unnamed) supplier who furnished the parts in the wake of Japan's 2011 earthquake and tsunami, natural disasters which decimated the world's supply of microcontrollers.
Chrysler says of those nearly half a million vehicles affected, around 442,000 of them reside in the US, with an additional 25,000 in Canada and 10,000 units in Mexico. A further 12,000 models were shipped beyond the NAFTA region. The Auburn Hills automaker will begin sending out recall notices shortly, and technicians will upgrade the system software or replace the microcontroller as necessary at no cost to owners.
