1957 Chrysler Imperial 2 Door Hardtop on 2040-cars
Putnam, Connecticut, United States
|
General...I bought this car in June of 1982 and have owned it since. It has always been licensed and road-driven (sparingly) since. Due to advancing age and health problems, I am unable to maintain it the way I would like. It needs a new home and the care it deserves. I am listing every detail I can think of, both good and items needing attention. The new owner should experience no undisclosed problems. However, please remember that, even though I have owned this car for 32 years, I could still miss something. Body...Very solid, original floors and trunk floor, no accidents, original rocker panels, minimal rust repair, bumpers not dented, power antenna broken but new one included with car, chrome fair, all glass excellent and crack free. Rear bumper brackets (2) need to be installed, drivers outside door handle needs adjustment, rear license plate light needs to be reinstalled, small repair patch in trunk, a few pinholes in trunk, all windows work Engine...Runs excellent, burns no oil, Holley carb with electric choke, have original carb and air filter, but missing mounting brackets, new lifters, canister oil filter replaced with screw-on small filter, have original canister setup, oil pan and rear main seal leak and should be repaired (new gaskets included), exhaust system mostly quiet but 25 years old and will need replacement at some point, transmission throttle shaft seal needs replacement ( new seal included), new spark plug wires installed Tires, Brakes, and Suspension...Car should have 14" wheels and tires, but had 15" when I bought it. Hubcaps are 1966 Imperial, ball joints, tie rods, control arm bushings, drag link, idler bearing all replaced. I unknowingly drove car for awhile with underinflated tires and they are worn unevenly. Tires are legal and safe but new owner might want to replace them. Size L78X15 bias ply. Never had a bumper jack to change a flat tire. Interior...Original interior and headliner (57 years old) needs replacement. Mice lived in headliner years ago, driver seat has a depression where the driver would sit (broken springs?), dash covering was destroyed by sun, recovered but without proper padding (my bad) looks nice but inside windshield trim now has a gap where padding would be (1/2 inch), non-working, non-standard tachometer where clock should go, located a clock at a swap meet, but don't know if it works, all gauges work, but the temp and fuel gauges need a tap on the dash to get moving.........also, fuel gauge itself works, but sending unit in tank needs cleaning...gauge reads 1/2 full all the time, car has rear defrost fan that is operated by toggle switch under dashboard, need new kick panels and have originals for templates, same situation with trunk side panels and carpet in trunk, interior rug installed without proper padding, dash lighting is operable, but one instrument cluster is brighter than the other. |

Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power
Tue, 21 May 2013A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.
Chrysler Pacifica owners report sudden power loss; FCA can’t figure out why
Tue, Nov 21 2017More than 50 owners of the Chrysler Pacifica minivan have filed complaints with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, alleging that the vehicle has suddenly lost power while on the road, posing a serious safety risk to owners. The New York Times reports that other Pacifica owners have described similar incidents on a Pacifica online chat forum and on Facebook. The problem seems to be affecting a small fraction of the more than 156,000 Pacificas sold since the minivan was introduced in 2016. No crashes or injuries have been linked to the problem, and dealers have been unable to replicate the issue on affected vehicles they have examined. Fiat Chrysler says it's looking into the problem but hasn't been able to identify the source. FCA spokesman Eric Mayne told the Times the company "is unaware of any injuries by accidents associated with these complaints" but takes customer concerns seriously. He said there was no indication that airbags or seatbelt tension were compromised by the issue. The Pacifica's airbags remain operational even when the vehicle loses power.Search for recall news on our hub. Try Autoblog's Car Finder to search for your next new vehicle. One owner, Adam Cohen, of Leesburg, Va., said his 2017 Pacifica shut down twice while his wife was driving it. He's been discussing the issue with Chrysler engineers and quality officials in recent weeks and even wrote to FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne. "They want to put a data recorder on my Pacifica and have me take it back and drive it around," he told the Times. "I told them they should drive it themselves and wait for it to happen. I don't want my family to be their test dummies. And that's where it stands. We're at a deadlock."Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.

Stellantis sees vehicle loan durations extended amid banking turmoil
Tue, Apr 4 2023Stellantis is seeing clients seeking longer-term financing and leasing deals for their vehicles as a consequence of higher global interest rates, the carmaker's head for the business said. Chief Affiliates Officer Philippe de Rovira said loans which normally had a three-year maturity were now increasingly moved to four years. "This allows customers to get a car for a monthly instalment that is similar to that they had before," he said. The world's third largest carmaker by sales on Tuesday announced it had completed a plan announced in late 2021 to reshuffle and simplify its leasing and financing operations in Europe. Under its terms, Stellantis created a 50-50 single long term multi-brand leasing company named Leasys with Credit Agricole Consumer Finance. It also set up local joint ventures in European countries for its new Stellantis Financial Services unit, formerly Banque PSA Finance, with BNP Paribas Personal Finance and Santander Consumer Finance. "These banks have always had better funding conditions than those we can have as an automaker," de Rovira said. Benefits of the plan included cutting the number of financing and leasing entities the group runs in each country and the number of IT systems it uses, with expected savings exceeding 30% in this particular area, he added. De Rovira said the group had a huge portfolio of orders it had not yet delivered due to supply chain shortages impacting production. "Demand is not our main issue. The issue is to deliver as fast as we can cars that are in our order portfolio, which is still at record levels," he said. The group aims to expand its corporate leased vehicle fleet to more than one million units in 2026 and to double net income from its so-called banking activities to 5.8 billion euros ($6.3 billion) by 2030. De Rovira said Stellantis was not seeing a downward trend in vehicle pricing. "Probably the significant price increases we have seen in 2021 and 2022 will not be repeated because the context is changing, but for the moment we don't see decreases, we see stabilisation".
