Year:1959 Mileage:41376
Location:

Concord, California, United States

Concord, California, United States

You are bidding on a great classic car. It was pulled out a storage barn in Northern California two weeks ago. The only thing I have done is lube the hinges on the hood and doors. As well as adding a little Marvel oil to the cylinders. And added junk tires that hold air to make it a roller. The 413 v8 engine was not stuck and does turn over but does not run. The buttons on the transmission work freely. There are no working brakes at all. 

The interior is complete and is functional but it will need a lot of restoration. The passenger side inner door handle is broken off. The rear door locks appear to be stuck or I just don't know how they work. It has the rare swivel seats in the front! The dash is a work of art. There are some dash cracks and the steering wheel leather is peeling. There is a key for the ignition but it doesn't seen to work on the doors. The locks may just need lubrication. They want to turn but not quite and I don't want to force them. The mileage appears to be original.

The Body is very solid There is a dent on the passenger side rocker. There was some body work done that has started to peel off revealing surface rust. It appears to only be surface rust from poor prep. The only rot I have found is on the rear quarter by the passenger side tire. Everything else appears to be surface. The front bumper is bent but can be easily straightened.   The floors and trunk are solid. The trunk liners are even still in place. The glass is not cracked. The trim looks to be all there except for the trunk lid handle and trunk key lock.

It also has a cool factor of about 9.2 on the groovy scale...This car is a work of art.!!!!!

This is a non-running project.....it has no brakes....it has some rust....it has some dents....it has some other unknown issues....Please be realistic and bid accordingly!!!  Look closely at the pictures and ask all questions prior to bidding. If you have less than 5 feedbacks please contact me prior to your bid being placed.

I have also included a picture of a two door coupe I may be listing later depending on the interest.

Local delivery is available for a fee. This is a no reserve auction. Low starting price. I don't know what it is worth, so there is no buy it now or early end. Thank you.

Chrysler releases Born Maker ad campaign for 2015 200 [w/video]

Fri, 06 Jun 2014



"The 200 sets the benchmark, for us, on how we plan to develop cars going forward." - Marissa Hunter
Is the 2015 Chrysler 200 the most important new product for Fiat Chrysler Automobiles? While it is certainly debatable, we'd be strongly inclined to say "yes." As the first competent midsize sedan that Chrysler has released in the better part of two decades, the new 200 is absolutely crucial to achieving the brand's goal of becoming FCA's "mainstream" manufacturer.

The company formerly known as Chrysler is now Stellantis

Wed, Jul 15 2020

Introducing Stellantis. Talk to your doctor before using Stellantis as side effects may include model redundancy, the overwhelming urge to apply Dodge badges to Peugeot crossovers, and weak stream. Honestly, how can you not poke just a little fun at the name chosen for the new multi-national corporation that will result once the merger of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) and Peugeot S.A. (Groupe PSA) is completed in the first quarter of 2021. According to the press release, "Stellantis is rooted in the Latin verb 'stello' meaning 'to brighten with stars' ... The name's Latin origins pay tribute to the rich history of its founding companies while the evocation of astronomy captures the true spirt of optimism, energy and renewal driving this industry-changing merger." The "Latin origins" of the French company Peugeot and the Italian Fiat are obvious. Chrysler, on the other hand, was founded by a man born in Kansas whose father was a Canadian-American of German and Dutch ancestry (thanks Wikipedia). His mother was also of German ancestry. So yeah, the name Stellantis is really only related to the Peugeot and Fiat bits. The Americans are just along for the ride with their Jeeps and Hellcats.  And it should be noted that we will henceforth never write "Stellantis" in ALL CAPS as the corporation does because it's silly and we don't do it for Hummer, Mini, etc. Admittedly, Fiat could go either way since it's literally an acronym, but Fiat doesn't even bother doing that any more.   The name Stellantis will only be applied at the corporate level, so effectively in place where you previously would've said Fiat-Chrysler or FCA. There won't be a Stellantis Challenger.  We produced a list last year of all the cars that are currently made by the brands within Stellantis. Here's also a list of all the names that the company we generically know as "Chrysler" has gone through over the years. Chrysler Corporation (1925-1998) DaimlerChrysler (1998-2007) Chrysler LLC (2007-2009) Chrysler Group (2009-2014) Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (2014-2021) Stellantis  There have also been secondary corporate entities. There was Diamond Star Motors from 1985 to 2015, a manufacturing joint venture between Mitsubishi and whatever Chrysler was called at the time. It resulted in the Plymouth Laser, a randomly selected example pictured above, amongst other automotive diamonds.

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.
