A fun reliable strong running car with only a few of the usual suspects with these old cars. New brakes 2000 milers ago which included new master cylinder, front and rear wheel cylinders, shoes all the way around. New plugs and points and tune up 200 miles ago. The thing runs great. Starts up first thing in the cold morning - automatic choke works great. When I bought the car it had an aftermarket air cleaner on it. The previous owner had the seats reupholstered in a very tasteful almost period looking fabric and vinyl. ZERO rust anywhere on the car. I believe it spent most of its life in Oklahoma and California before coming to New Mexico. One repaint that now has some areas of clearcoat peeling mostly on the hood and top of drivers rear fender. Tires have plenty of life left. No crash damage or dents. Some mile peppering to chrome taillights. Trunk area very nice with no stains to carpet. Non smoker car apparently most of its life. All glass is in great shape. Nothing is leaking and oil always looks clean. Dash has two splits - one on binnacle and other by speaker grill. Steering wheel has a few splits. The steering is telescopic and works great.

OK - the things that need work - drivers side rear window does not operate. The front windows roll down quickly and nicely. The passenger rear is slow and occasionally needs assistance. The air conditioner does not blow cold. The headliner seam over the rear seat has a blown seam - safety pins keep it up. Some door seals are well worn. Odometer stopped working the day I bought it making tons of noise then "pop" and all silent which is common for these cars - this is my third and they all have failed on me. Fortunately the title says actual miles and if you get the plastic replacement gear you can continue logging miles on future title exchanges.

I'm sure there are some minor things I'm forgetting and will update as I remember but this car has been great. It doesnt smoke and pulls strong. I trust the car to cross the country so if you want to fly in and drive home it is completely reliable. However, being an old car, I recommend a AAA membership and will not guarantee that something won't blow up down the road. Sold as-is where is and I will work with your shipper to get it loaded and document the process with photographs. 

I just moved and don't have a garage for this car and hate to see it sitting outside gathering dust in our dry new mexico dustiness. I just bought another 4x4 toy and that is more appropriate for sitting outside.

Stellantis announces ‘Circular Economy’ business to drive revenue, decarbonization

Tue, Oct 11 2022

Stellantis has already announced its plans to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2038. Today, the automaker has announced a new business unit to help it reach that goal while generating 2 billion euros per year in revenue by 2030. The “Circular Economy” business will help make revenue less dependent on finite, rare and ecologically problematic materials. The Circular Economy model features what Stellantis calls a “4R” strategy, comprising remanufacturing, repair, reuse and recycling. The goal is to make materials last as long as they can, reducing reliance on the acquisition of those precious new materials in the future by returning them to the business loop when theyÂ’ve reached the end of their first life. Through these processes, Stellantis says it can save up to 80% raw material and 50% energy compared to manufacturing a new part. Remanufacturing, or “reman” in Stellantis shorthand, means dismantling, cleaning and rebuilding parts to OEM spec. Nearly 12,000 remanufactured parts are available for customers to purchase. Some remanufacturing is done in-house, and some with partners and through joint ventures. Repair is pretty obvious — fixing parts to put back into vehicles. This also consists of reconditioning, to make a vehicle feel like new. Stellantis boasts 21 “e-repair” centers for repairing electric vehicle batteries.  Reuse refers to parts still in good condition from end-of-life vehicles sold as-is. Stellantis says it has 4.5 million multi-brand parts in inventory. These are sold in 155 countries through the B-Parts e-commerce platform. Reuse also refers second-life options, such as using batteries outside of automotive purposes. Recycling involves dismantling parts and scraps back into raw material form that is then looped back into the manufacturing process. Stellantis says it has collected 1 million parts for recycling in the past six months. Recycling doesnÂ’t get counted in that aforementioned 2 billion euros of revenue, but it does save the company money on acquisition of raw materials. As for batteries, specifically, Stellantis expects this recycling business to ramp up after 2030, when the packs currently in service begin to reach the end of their lifecycle. Stellantis will use its new “SUSTAINera” label to denote parts that are offered as part of its Circular Economy business.

2017 Chrysler Pacifica isn't your parents' Town & Country [w/video]

Mon, Jan 11 2016

I'm sick of people hating on minivans. There's something about two incredibly functional sliding doors that give people this idea that they've given up, and given in to family life. But if the van you see here had two fixed rear doors, and maybe an extra inch of ride height, it'd be gobbled up like mad as part of the growing crossover craze. So yes, the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica – that's right, Pacifica – is a minivan. But it's so packed full of features, technology, and functionality, that you really ought to look past those sliding doors. There promises to be an incredibly rewarding vehicle within. The 2017 Pacifica rides on an all-new platform, but dimensionally, it's similar to the outgoing Town & Country. That whole "ugh, minivans" thing is one of the reasons why Chrysler decided to axe the Town & Country name for 2017. Simply put, the target customers for the new minivan (young parents) would have grown up in their parents' Town & Country vans (or Caravans, or Voyagers...) in the 1980s. Three decades later, FCA wants to make it absolutely clear that this isn't just your parents' minivan. Why it chose to bring back the name of a lackluster part of its mid-2000s history, though, is anyone's guess. The 2017 Pacifica rides on an all-new platform, but dimensionally, it's similar to the outgoing Town & Country. It's a tenth of an inch shorter in length, about an inch wider, and roughly half an inch taller. The body itself looks great – influence from the 200 sedan is obvious up front, and around back in the taillights, and top-trim models can be had with 20-inch wheels – a big change from the old van, which topped out with 17-inch rolling stock. There's big weight-savings here, too – the Pacifica tips the scales at 4,330 pounds in base spec, which is over 300 pounds less than the Town & Country. Inside, it's more of the same from Chrysler. The interior design uses language brought up from the 200, and the different color and material choices look really rich, especially in Limited Premium trim. Of course, I'll wait to make final judgments on the cabin until I see it in base cloth spec, rife with kid fingerprints and french fries ground into the carpets. Up front, the Uconnect 8.4-inch touchscreen houses familiar infotainment functionality, and for backseat passengers, there's a new Uconnect Theater system, with a pair of 10-inch touchscreen displays.

Fiat's Marchionne ponders Chrysler going public again

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Fiat boss Sergio Marchionne says there's a real possibility that its majority-owned Chrysler Group may eventually return to the ranks of publicly traded companies. According to Bloomberg, the Fiat and Chrysler CEO gives that a "50 percent chance" of happening, but he doesn't appear to favor that scenario: "My preference is to be one single company... we belong together."
Marchionne has seemingly been operating under the assumption that Fiat will eventually own all of Chrysler, working to buy up the shares it doesn't own and looking to buy out the retiree trust fund that it shares Chrysler ownership with. Certainly, Chrysler going independent again would be increasingly difficult, as the companies continue to blend products, technologies, facilities and staffing, a trend started immediately after the Italian automaker became custodian of the brand following Chrysler's bankruptcy in 2009.
Marchionne's remarks to the media came at Chrysler's Kokomo, Indiana plant, where he was on hand to announce a major investment at four facilities in the state to build eight- and nine-speed automatic transmissions.
