Chico, California, United States
Vehicle Title:Clear
Make: Chrysler
Drive Type: Rear Wheel Drive
Model: Newport
Mileage: 39,900
Trim: 2 Door Convertible
Fabulous 1969 Chrysler Newport Convertible with a factory H-Code high performance 4-bb big block engine. This beauty has only 39,900 original miles! With her brand new Magna Flow Turbo mufflers, she purrs like a kitten. That is, until you press down on the gas and those 4 barrels open up, then she has the wonderful, throaty growl that only a big block mopar engine can make! She is very well optioned with this 330 HP/425 ft lbs powerplant featuring a dual snorkel air cleaner, dual exhaust, air conditioning, am/fm 8 track, power disc brakes, and factory cruise control. This powerful engine is backed up by a smooth shifting HD 727 Torqueflight transmission that feeds a bomb-proof 8 3/4 "489" rear axle with 3.23 gears. She has new shocks, (4) new Firestone radial tires, new fuel tank and sending unit, new waterpump, new starter, new 100amp alternator, viscous fan package, new cigar lighter, and the two new Magna Flow mufflers. When I bought her about 5 years ago, I had been researching '69 Road Runners, Super Bees etc. that also had the exact HP 383, torqueflight tranny, and the 8 3/4 rear end and they cost an averaged 40,000.00. So when I found this beauty for only 11,700.00 I snapped her up in a heartbeat! However, due to financial difficulties at this time, and declining health, I have to let her go. This low mileage Chrysler convertible has been meticulously taken care of, always garaged and covered, yet driven and enjoyed as well. During a recent drive to the redwoods over on the coast of northern California a rock chipped the windshield and resulted in a crack. I will be including a brand new replacement windshield in this auction. I'd like to get my money back which is around 13,500.00. However, I am listing this stunning car with a low starting bid of only 9999.00 and no reserve! 1969 was a great year for Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth cars, yet less than 2500 convertible Newports were made. Here's your chance to own a wonderful, high performance, big block drop top for only 10 grand. Good luck bidding, (and if you're the lucky winner,) enjoy driving this fantastic convertible this summer!

Chrysler 100 hatchback caught cruising around Santa Monica
Thu, 21 Feb 2013A coming hatchback said to be called the Chrysler 100 has been caught on video traipsing around Santa Monica by Autoblog reader Zach Dillman. Still wearing the scrapyard assemblage of Alfa Romeo Giulietta body panels as it was when spy photographers began capturing it last summer, its arrival date is still a question mark: some outlets have reported that it will go on sale this year, others have said it won't be in showrooms until 2016.
In fact, quite a few questions remain. Based on Fiat's Compact US Wide (CUSW) platform that supports the Dodge Dart and expected to be about the same size, the 100 is thought to be a small premium hatchback that will be priced above the Dart and below the Chrysler 200, with the idea that it can challenge the Ford Focus and Hyunda Elantra at the value end and the Buick Verano and Acura ILX at the premium end. Word is that there will be no sedan version.
It looks like there'll be plenty of gewgaws inside, with buttons for Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning and a button to toggle the traction control.
Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
