1973 Chrysler Newport with the rare Navaho package. Low mileage car. First owner had it from 1973 to 1976. Second owner 1976 to 2012. Then I bought if from his estate. Starts right up, shifts great and floats down the highway like a dream. Drive anywhere, ready to go. Comes with original window stickers, dealer paperwork, owner's manual, etc. I am out of room and need to divest myself of some of my toys.
400 cubic inch V8 engine. Automatic transmission. Air conditioning (still has R12 has not been converted to R134A. Does not blow cold.)
The Navaho package was offered only a few years and I believe 1973 was the last year that it was offered. All Navahos came with the copper metallic paint with burnt orange pinstripes, white vinyl roof and above all the burnt orange colored factory "shag" carpet and Navaho seat fabric. If you were alive in 1973 (like I was) you'd simply say "It was the style at the time". This 19.5 foot long four door hardtop beast really attracts attention at cruise nights and local car shows. Also 1973 was the last of Chrysler's "fuselage" style cars. Someone will enjoy this car for many years forward.
I've included many pics. Please ask questions before you bid. Please do not bid if you don't intend to pay. Check my 100% positive eBay feedback. Remember this car is very old. She is far from perfect but she is a great unrestored original car. There is some rust here and there but the underside is extremely nice and solid. It is not a rust bucket. The interior is awesome. (There is one seam on the back seat that is coming open from age, not wear.) The dash is not cracked at all. Car is sold as is/where is. I live near Reading PA, about 65 miles outside of Philadelphia. Pickup only. You can send your shipper and I will do what I can to accommodate you but I cannot arrange or help you with shipping. Car stays in my garage until all funds are securely in my possession. Mileage may be a little higher than stated because I do take the car out sometimes.
Reserve is very realistic. Good Luck!

Maserati's new North American CEO is Chrysler's dealer guru
Wed, 13 Nov 2013There's been a bit of a shakeup among the executive ranks at Chrysler and Maserati, as the Italian sports car manufacturer has appointed Peter Grady as its new North American CEO. Grady, who we imagine is about to get a very nice upgrade to his company car, will retain his role as vice president of dealer network development for Chrysler and Chrysler Capital, and is replacing Bob Graczyk at Maserati.
"It is with pleasure and anticipation that I welcome Peter to Maserati. He brings to our company nearly 30 years of leadership and experience. His background and industry expertise will be a great basis for the continued expansion of Maserati in North America," said Maserati CEO Harald Wester in a statement.
Also joining the team at Maserati is Saad Chehab, who previously worked for the Chrysler and Lancia brands and will be the new head of marketing for the Italian brand. He'll be replaced by Al Gardner, the former boss of Chrysler's southeast business center, as the head of Chrysler brand, according to Automotive News.
Move over Audi, now Chrysler has a beef with Tesla's claims
Thu, 23 May 2013In the same week that Audi said "not so fast" to some claims from Tesla, Chrysler has responded to a new press release from the California-based EV-maker by saying "not exactly, Tesla." The statement, released through the company's blog, comes in response to Tesla claiming it was "the only American car company to have fully repaid the government." Chrysler notes that it, too, recently paid back Uncle Sam from its 2008 bailout. Similar to Audi's recent press release, which was eventually and mysteriously deleted from the German automaker's site, Chrysler is both right and wrong in its statement.
Tesla specifically said that it had paid back the Department of Energy loans that many automakers received - including Fisker and VPG Autos - while Chrysler's retort argues Tesla is "unmistakably incorrect" since it repaid the government in 2011 a full six years early. Technically, the statements from both automakers are correct, but Tesla's startup loan originated from the DoE, while Chrysler's loan came in bailout form from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Further, as The Detroit News notes, Chrysler's loan still cost taxpayers well over a billion dollars after all was said and done - those negative assets tied to "old Chrysler" in the bankruptcy did not require repayment.
Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
