1979 Chrysler Cordoba (((one Owner Time Capsule--52,000 Actual Miles))) on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY IT'S A VERY COOL STORY....much like a "barn find" but stored in a garage since 1991.
Bought new at Baxter Chrysler-Plymouth in Omaha, Nebraska in the fall of 1978, the Chrysler was carefully driven until the purchase of the "new car" in 1991, an Olds 98. But the beloved Chrysler wasn't traded it was parked in the elderly couple's single car garage and covered up with blankets...LOTS of blankets!!! Fast forward the spring of 2014. Mr. M**** passed away leaving the beloved and beautiful Cordoba still covered under all those blankets. This is where I came in, purchasing the car from the estate. A new battery and some fresh gas the car fired right up!! Backed it from the garage and YES the "new car" '91 Olds right there in the driveway too!! The Olds NEVER saw the garage in 23 years there was only room for one...the beloved Cordoba......... The elderly couple kept EVERY single piece of documentation. Including the factory window sticker, the original bill of sale showing a 1966 "Pontiac 2-door" being traded in on the Chrysler. Even service coupons and promotions from Baxter's Chrysler were kept neatly with ALL the other paperwork. And the warranty booklet and owners manual and alot more!! All of these items AND a new Nebraska title stating ACTUAL MILES on the face!! Not an exempt title..it's an ACTUAL mile title!! The car is in MINT condition. NEVER rusted, damaged or repainted. The car you see in the pictures has not been detailed, just lightly cleaned. The ONLY cosmetic issues are as follows: A few and I mean very few stone chips on the nose of the car near the headlights. On the door panels, the plastic is discolored for some reason. My guess is that there was a cleaner used that didn't agree with it causing this sometime in the past. The car was undercoated AND rust proofed when new. The interior is in otherwise excellent condition. No rips or tears, perfect glass, carpet AND headliner. WHAT A TIME CAPSULE!! Mechanically it starts instantly and runs smoothly EVEN with the Lean Burn System still functioning. The 360 V8 2-barrell doesn't miss a beat. The transmission shifts as it should nice and smooth. The car has power steering and power brakes that stop the car nice and smooth. Tilt wheel and cruise control that works perfectly. Even a power driver's seat!! Oddly, the car was a radio delete but a $79. AM radio was added by the dealer. The car was ordered with a Sure-grip rear end but no remote or "sport" mirror was ordered. The factory AC blows ICE COLD. The tires look good but it's unknown how old they are. To sum it up...this is one of those "ONCE IN A LIFE TIME" cars that just don't come along all that often. The reserve is a fair one but I'm NOT giving the car away. So...bid with confidence and bid to own it!! If you have ANY questions about the car give me a call anytime for an HONEST discussion about the car. I just want to stress what a fantastic find this car really is!! I'm Tom and my number is 402-650-3849 OK...the fine print. The winning bidder to send a $1000. non-refundable deposit via Paypal 48 hours end of auction. The balance to be paid within 7 days with certified bank checks, bank to bank wire transfer, or cash when you pick the car up. The car is safe and sound in a climate controlled building and can stay there until it's picked up. Also, if you choose to drive it home I'd be happy to pick you up at the airport. I can also suggest a local transporter that I've personally used for years. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility and expense. READ MY AD CAREFULLY and call with any questions Thanks Tom |

2015 Chrysler 300 First Drive [w/video]
Mon, Dec 22 2014When Chrysler last updated its 300 in 2011, the fullsize sedan market was a very different place than it is today. Ford's redesigned Taurus was in showrooms, sure, but segment stalwarts like the Toyota Avalon and Chevrolet Impala were languishing at the tail end of their model cycles. And still, the second-generation 300 (not counting the "letter series" cars from the 1950s and '60s, of course) failed to recapitulate the booming success of the model reboot in 2004. Something in the combination of the down economy, higher gas prices and great product from front-wheel-drive entries in the class kept the 300 from the six-digit sales numbers it saw in the early 2000s. For the 2015 model year, Chrysler hopes that a more clearly defined purpose for its big sedan, combined with liberal dipping into the corporate tech toy box, will rekindle buyer interest. Considering the mild characters and front-driver dynamics of its mainstream competition, the promise of V8 power and rear-wheel drive should at least turn the heads of those looking for a car with a little edge. I grabbed the keys of the edgiest of the bunch, the sport-intended 300S, and found a big sedan that gives away some practicality to the rest of its segment mates. The trade-off for the dip in pragmatism is an uptick and driving fun and attitude that should make all the difference for the right buyer. Even though the hard-to-miss face of the 300 has come in for another nip and tuck, that attitude is still clearly on display, too. The grille of the 300 is some 33-percent larger than the outgoing model, though it's still far less brutal than the throwback styling of the 2005 "Baby Bentley" car, at least to my eyes. The cheese grater insert is metallic in most trims of the 300, though the 300S you see in my photo set gets the meaner blacked-out treatment. A quick scroll through our gallery will show you that the rest of the 300 has been similarly changed but not reinvented. Light clusters front and rear are revised, the rear clip has been re-forged with less busy styling, and the whole car has been de-chromed to a large extent (this 300S is wearing the least blingy outfit of the bunch). That rear spoiler is S-model specific. I held the existing 300 interior in fairly high regard, and this new car improves on that base.
Weekly Recap: Chrysler forges ahead with new name, same mission
Sat, Dec 20 2014Chrysler is history. Sort of. The 89-year-old automaker was absorbed into the Fiat Chrysler Automobiles conglomerate that officially launched this fall, and now the local operations will no longer use the Chrysler Group name. Instead, it's FCA US LLC. Catchy, eh? Here's what it means: The sign outside Chrysler's Auburn Hills, MI, headquarters says FCA (which it already did) and obviously, all official documents use the new name, rather than Chrysler. That's about it. The executives, brands and location of the headquarters aren't changing. You'll still be able to buy a Chrysler 200. It's just made by FCA US LLC. This reinforces that FCA is one company going forward – the seventh largest automaker in the world – not a Fiat-Chrysler dual kingdom. While the move is symbolic, it is a conflicting moment for Detroiters, though nothing is really changing. Chrysler has been owned by someone else (Daimler, Cerberus) for the better part of two decades, but it still seemed like it was Chrysler in the traditional sense: A Big 3 automaker in Detroit. Now, it's clearly the US division of a multinational industrial empire; that's good thing for its future stability, but bittersweet nonetheless. Undoubtedly, it's an emotion that's also being felt at Fiat's Turin, Italy, headquarters as the company will no longer officially be called Fiat there. Digest that for a moment. What began in 1899 as the Societa Anonima Fabbrica Italiana di Automobili Torino – or FIAT – is now FCA Italy SpA. In a statement, FCA said the move "is intended to emphasize the fact that all group companies worldwide are part of a single organization." The new names are the latest changes orchestrated by CEO Sergio Marchionne, who continues to makeover FCA as an international automaker that has ties to its heritage – but isn't tied down by it. Everything from the planned spinoff of Ferrari, a new FCA headquarters in London and the pending demise of the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2016 has shown that the company is willing to move quickly, even if it's controversial. While renaming the United States and Italian divisions were the moves most likely to spur controversy, FCA said other regions across the globe will undergo similar name changes this year. Despite the mixed emotions, it's worth noting: The name of the merged company that oversees all of these far-flung units is Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Obviously the Chrysler corporate name isn't completely history.
FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger
Sun, Dec 20 2020DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.
