This car is equipped with a 383 4 barrel, runs great, but will probably need a fuel pump in the near future. It has power brakes and power steering. The glass is all in great shape and the headliner is really nice. Door panels and dash pad are in excellent shape. The seats do have some rips and it will need new carpet. There is a rust hole on the passenger side floor board which I took a photo of, but that can be patched pretty easily. The rest of the undercarriage looks to be structurally sound. The body does have some rust, but is a good candidate for restoration and is pretty solid. The stainless is in beautiful condition. The bumpers are not show quality, but can be cleaned up and be presentable for a driver car. The grill is in nice shape, factory headlight covers are in great shape. When I got the car it actually did have a brake pedal and did work, but has a slow leak somewhere (upon purchase car would have to be trailered or towed due to lack of brakes). I purchased a brand new master cylinder, wheel cylinders for all 4 corners, and two rubber brake hoses (all pictured), so it just needs a little elbow grease to get the brakes up to par. The previous owner was driving this car over the summer. I purchased this car 3 weeks ago with plans of doing an on-frame restoration when a local car that I had been trying to purchase for some time now became available. I now don't have the room or time to put into this vehicle. I'm starting this auction at much less than I paid for the car, mostly due to the fact that the brakes were working when I purchased and now they're not. This is a 2-door hard top and is a fairly rare car. I'm selling this at a very fair price and will not take less than my starting bid. Please bid on this car if you want to purchase it. Feel free to contact me with any questions and I will answer as soon as possible with the best of my knowledge. The car will have to be picked up as soon as possible after purchase. It is also for sale locally and I reserve the right to take it off Ebay if it sells. I am not interested in any trades. This car has a lot of potential and with some work could be an absolutely beautiful car.

Toledo continues fight for Jeep Wrangler production, despite mayor's death

Thu, Feb 19 2015

Where will the next-generation Jeep Wrangler be built? That's an open question, but it's one that the city of Toledo, OH desperately wants to be the answer to. The city suffered a major blow, though, with the death of Mayor Michael Collins earlier this month. Collins had been the city's biggest champion during talks with Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, before suffering a fatal heart attack on Feb. 6. But Collins' tragic death isn't dampening the city's desire to carry on as the home of the Wrangler. "The mayor's passing is tragic. But on Monday, when I came to work, I knew exactly what I needed to do and exactly what needed to be done," the city's director of development, Matt Sapara, told the Detroit Free Press. According to the Freep, Sapara said Toledo and the state of Ohio have delivered an outline of a development plan that would give FCA the ability to buy an extra 100 acres to expand the factory. This is to help accommodate FCA's targeted output of 300,000 to 350,000 next-generation Wranglers, up from the 240,000 the factory can make now. "Our target in the proposal is to provide a way to increase the production capacity to a number that allows Fiat Chrysler to meet its business model," Sapara told the Freep, adding that the land could be available later this summer. FCA, meanwhile, has shown a somewhat ambivalent attitude towards Toledo production, with CEO Sergio Marchionne openly discussing the pros and cons of continuing to build the Wrangler south of the Michigan border. "We are going to take a very hard look at this without ignoring what these guys have done," Marchionne told the Free Press at last month's Detroit Auto Show, adding that he'd like to keep production there, provided the cost of retooling is comparable to relocating to another facility.

Chrysler-Fiat quality chief out after another poor Consumer Reports showing

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler has announced a management change following the company's woeful performance in the latest Consumer Reports Annual Auto Reliability Survey. Of the 28 brands surveyed, FCA's marques occupied the five the seven lowest scores, while Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat were the four lowest scorers.
Doug Betts, FCA's 51-year-old head of quality "left the company to pursue other interests," which, considering the aforementioned paragraph, means he was sacked. According to Automotive News, Betts joined Chrysler in 2007, defecting from Nissan, and, insiders report, had a somewhat tumultuous relationship with new boss Sergio Marchionne.
His replacement is the newly promoted Matthew Lidane (shown at inset), who was formerly VP of systems and components. Lidane has been at Chrysler since 1987 and was previously chief engineer of the Jeep product team as well as the vehicle line boss for the compact US wide platform which (ironically) underpins two of FCA's lowest scoring vehicles, the Dodge Dart and Jeep Cherokee.

UAW urging Chrysler to sell shares to investors

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

The United Auto Workers union is pushing Chrysler to sell 16.6 percent of its stock to investors in an attempt to establish the value of the shares. The UAW is currently locked in a lawsuit with Chrysler parent company Fiat over how much the Italian automaker should pay to buy shares from the trust fund. Last year, Fiat told the trust it intended to exercise its right to purchase 3.3 percent of the union's shares at issue. But the union contended the 54,154 shares were worth closer to $381 million instead of the $155 million Fiat offered.
Currently, the UAW owns 41.5 percent of Chrysler while Fiat holds 58.5 percent of the company. Currently, it's unclear whether the UAW could force Chrysler to put the shares on the open market. Doing so would be the first step toward a much-anticipated initial public offering. Chrysler has said it will comply with its shareholders agreement, and Fiat has echoed that tune. According to The Detroit Free Press, the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust has declined to comment on the situation.
