A hoist out of 4X6 pine should do fine. Load test it with you and one other person first and add some supports so it will not tip. The 140 Erude is about 380 lbs and the chysler is probably (hopefully) less.

Just get a strong person to lift it. I get my son who is 15 and weighs 160 to lift my '61 80hp Merc Inline 6. I think that it weighs around 300.

How much do you want for the Chrysler? What, if anything, is wrong with it?
