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.

10 automakers shack up in Detroit hotel to talk Takata airbags

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Since Takata has decided not to take the lead concerning potential issues with its airbag inflators, the automakers have. Perhaps that's unsurprising, since it's the automakers, not Takata, that will take a beating on the dealership floor if consumers decide its models are a health hazards. The Detroit News reports that Toyota, Honda, General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Mazda, BMW, Nissan, Mitsubishi and Subaru met in a hotel conference room near the Detroit Metropolitan Airport last week to sort out a way to understand the technical issues involved. So far, faulty airbag inflators have been ruled the cause of five deaths and 50 injuries around the world, but neither Takata nor investigators understands exactly why the inflators are malfunctioning. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recently asked Takata to issue a national recall, Takata declined, citing a minuscule failure rate and the fact that it's still investigating the issue. Toyota and Honda then made an industry-wide appeal for "a coordinated, comprehensive testing program" that would pinpoint the problem inflators and get them replaced, and that's what the Detroit meeting was about. Numerous issues, however, will make this a long row to hoe: simply getting the parts to replace the nearly 20 million inflators in cars recalled around the world so far - even working with other suppliers - will take a years, but more importantly, no one knows if the replacement inflators currently being installed will suffer the same issue. Answers will hopefully come quickly with Takata, the ten automakers and NHTSA all independently investigating the problem.

Fiat Chrysler's dealers and mechanics to reopen on Monday in Italy

Thu, Apr 30 2020

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler said on Thursday its Italian network of approved dealers and mechanic workshops would reopen on May 4, when the country is set to start lifting a national lockdown put in place to limit the spread of the coronavirus. A package of health and safety measures for workers and clients will be put in place across the entire network to comply with the rules set by Rome to prepare for a staged restart of economic activities after weeks of national lockdown triggered by the virus outbreak. A vast majority of FCA's dealers and workshops in Italy are run by private operators, while the automaker directly operates some large ones in big cities. FCA this week resumed van production at its Atessa plant in central Italy and some operations in other Italian plants, including preparatory works at its Melfi facility for the final development of Jeep's new hybrid cars, and at Turin's Mirafiori plant for its new electric 500 small car.
