 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 files for IPO

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Chrysler has had a lot of owners over the past few years alone, from Daimler to Cerberus to Fiat and the federal government. But it could be poised to gain some more before long. Like, a lot more.
The automaker has just announced that it has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to issue an Initial Public Offering of common stocks. Chrysler hasn't revealed how many shares will be offered and at what price, however the shares in question will not come out of Fiat's approximate 60% majority shareholding but instead out of the 40% minority stock held by the UAW's VEBA retiree healthcare trust. Reports suggest that the IPO, which is being handled by JP Morgan, could encompass approximately 16% of Chrysler stock, initially valued at approximately $100 million.
Lest you think this is all part of Sergio Marchionne's grand plan to consolidate Chrysler and Fiat, the two auto groups over which he presides, think again. The filing, which still needs to be approved by the SEC, comes at the insistence of the UAW. Negotiations between Marchionne's management team and the union over Fiat's acquisition of the VEBA shares have stalled. If they manage to come to an agreement, however, the IPO would likely be taken off the table. So don't go calling your broker just yet, but you can analyze the official announcement below.

Maserati Levante will borrow Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid's PHEV powertrain

Wed, Mar 9 2016

The plug-in hybrid tech from the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan will move seriously upmarket into a future version of the Maserati Levante crossover. The PHEV model should arrive around early 2018 or possibly the end of 2017, division boss Harald Wester told Motor Trend. Wester was blunt about the reason for using the minivan's powertrain. "A standalone program would be suicidal so we have to look at FCA," he said to Motor Trend. However, he expects the PHEV to comprise a tiny portion of the luxury CUV's sales volume – possibly as low as six percent. The Pacifica Hybrid will be the first PHEV minivan in the US when it arrives in the second half of 2016. The powertrain combines a 3.6-liter V6 that runs on the more efficient Atkinson cycle, and two electric motors, which are in the gearbox. A 16-kWh lithium-ion battery under the floor stores the energy for the system. Chrysler estimates the setup can carry the minivan 30 miles purely on electric power and achieve 80 MPGe. The first examples of the Levante should arrive in the US in August, according to Motor Trend. Maserati plans initially to offer its luxury crossover here with two twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V6s. Base models use a version with 350 horsepower and 368 pound-feet of torque. The S trim gets some extra grunt thanks to a tune that makes 430 hp and 427 lb-ft. Both models come with an eight-speed automatic transmission, all-wheel drive, and a limited-slip differential. The Maserati will have a fleet of posh, European crossovers to fight against, and the PHEV will possibly offer an edge to entice a few green-minded, wealthy customers. Related Video:

The Plug-In Hybrid Chrysler Pacifica | Translogic 212

Thu, Dec 15 2016

Unless you've been living under a rock, you probably know that minivans have a bit of a rep for being uncool. The poor minivan has been relegated to that of a tool solely intended to get kids to and from soccer games. Here at Autoblog, we're already proponents of the minivan for its incredibly utility and under-the-radar, nearly hipster-like ironic coolness. This year, the good folks at Chrysler are working to change the soccer-mom stereotype by giving its people-hauler a much needed injection of style, lots of new tech, and a plug-in hybrid option in the form of the new Pacifica. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley sat down with Matt McAlear, Senior Manager of Chrysler Brand Product Marketing to discuss how Chrysler went from inventing the segment all the way back in 1984 to reinventing it in 2016. Matt explains that not only is the Pacifica "...the first hybrid in the minivan segment," but it's alsm one of the most functional hybrids available. With room for 7 passengers plus cargo and 30 miles of all-electric range, the features on the van are nothing to scoff at. After the chat, Bucko takes the minivan to someone who will be able to appreciate it even more than him, a mom of two.
