You are bidding on an original two-owner Persian White 1964 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe with 88,534 original miles. The Crown Coupe is Chrysler’s desirable and attractive two-door hardtop luxury performance model. Custom-ordered through the California ordering district, the car sold new through Kohlenburg Chrysler Plymouth in Reno, Nevada. It has spent the last 30 years of its’ life in sunny, dry Walla Walla Washington. This car is as close to showroom perfect as you're likely to ever find. The car has literally been garaged since new, and maintained meticulously.

This particular Imperial Crown Coupe features its’ numbers-matching original high-performance 413 4-barrel engine and heavy-duty 727 push-button automatic transmission. The car is in perfect running and driving condition; you can slide in and drive this classic anywhere across the country.

I could literally not find single dent in the bodywork, nor trace of rust. The original Persian White paint shines like a brand-new car. The stainless steel and chrome trim are also similarly in virtually flawless condition. I've gone about the car with keen eyes and can find only two small dings anywhere on the trim. Even the original tinted glass still looks like new. It is very difficult to capture the quality of the paint, the fit and finish of the panels, and the beautiful condition of the chrome, stainless, and glass... I've done my best, but in this case you will find that the car actually appears even more beautiful in person than in pictures; certainly an exception to the general rule. Original steel 15” wheels with factory fancy hubcaps are wearing nice vintage-style whitewall radial tires. I would rate the exterior a solid 9.0 of 10 if not higher.

The interior is fully loaded with virtually every option you can think of, including “Auto Pilot” cruise control and automatic headlight dimmer sensor. The original dash gauge cluster was sent out for professional cleaning and cosmetic restoration by the previous owner, and both looks and works as new. The Imperial features a full power package including power windows, antennae, seat, trunk release, Auto Pilot cruise control, and more. The factory Air Conditioning is complete and in working order, although needing a recharge. Literally everything on this car works: all power windows, locks, trunk release, power seat, wipers, turn signals, brake lights, head lights, and small things including the radio, radio seek mechanism, horn, power antennae, interior courtesy lights, glove box courtesy light, trunk courtesy light, etc. The dash vents are in perfect unbroken condition, and rotate upward as they should. Similarly, the lower heat outlets also rotate up when the heat is shut off... so many cool and futuristic features.

The original red leather interior is almost as pristine as the exterior. The dash pad is flawless, the chrome, painted, and brushed stainless steel trim is exceptional, the steering wheel is without cracks or other damage, the door panels and back seat still look like new. The front features bucket seats with a center "buddy seat" that folds down into an arm rest, and the back bench features a matching fold-down center arm rest to give the interior a sporty "four-seater" look if desired. The off-white headliner is in perfect condition without a rip or tear, as are the visors, including the passenger “vanity” visor with mirror. The front seats and front carpet show minor wear, but still present extremely well. Overall, I would conservatively rate the interior a solid 8.0-8.5 of 10

The brake system has been fully rebuilt, including master cylinder, power booster, wheel cylinders, and soft lines. The fuel system has been rebuilt including new fuel tank, lines, fuel pump, and carburetor. I just installed a new battery. The previous owner installed a new true dual Flow Master exhaust system, which sounds fantastic and shows off the 413's power under acceleration, as should be the case. New shock absorbers help keep the car driving like new.

The car is 100% original with the exception of the new replacement carburetor, open-element air cleaner, and the new exhaust system.

The car has just been tuned and had the fluids replaced, and again is in turnkey running and driving condition. It runs and drives extremely well, and does not require anything to be your vintage weekend run-about, or daily driver.

Included with the car are the original factory dealer order invoice, original operator's manual with warranty card (serial-number matching/stamped), the original 1964 Imperial dealership brochure, and the original factory maintenance and repair manual, all of which came with the car when sold new. The trunk is also pristine and features the original full-sized decorative whitewall spare tire, full steel spare tire cover, original jack, jacking instructions, and floor mat.

I doubt you'll ever find another 1964 Imperial Crown Coupe this nice and unmolested. $11,500.00 cash will buy it now. You may call me at 360-936-9257 to discuss. Clear WA title and lifetime collector plates. Title VIN matches car VIN exactly for out-of-state inspection if required.

While every effort is being made to describe the vehicle accurately, it is in fact a 50-year-old classic and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied. No zero-feedback or low-feedback bidders without contacting me first, please.

Please be prepared to make payment in full within 3 days of auction close via Bank of America deposit into my account, bank wire transfer, or MAJOR bank cashier’s check. I will verify that funds have fully cleared the issuing bank prior to releasing the title and vehicle. Shipping is the full responsibility of the buyer; I will make myself available for loading. I will store the car for you at no cost for two or three weeks for you to find your best deal on shipping.

You may call me at 360-936-9257 with any questions you may have. As an aside, I believe I can obtain the original carb and air cleaner for the buyer; IF SO, I will box and ship them to you at no additional cost... may take a month or two if I can make it happen. I cannot guarantee this, but I believe I can make it happen.

Wed, Sep 9 2015

Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. Autoblog's Chris McGraw reports on this edition of Autoblog Minute. Show full video transcript text [00:00:00] Customers have spoken and automobile satisfaction is down in 2015. I'm Chris McGraw and this is your Autoblog Minute. The American Customer Satisfaction Index or ACSI released its updated numbers and according to the survey, new car buyer satisfaction is down for the third straight year. According to an ACSI press release, customer satisfaction with new automobiles has fallen 3.7 percent, to 79 on its 100-point scale. The ACSI report is based on over 4,100 customer surveys collected in the second quarter of 2015 Sitting at the top of the industry in customer satisfaction is Toyota's Lexus brand with a score of 84. Which was good enough to dethrone Mercedes-Benz, which fell 3% to a score of 83. Of the Big Three, Ford was the only domestic automaker to maintain overall customer satisfaction with its score of 81. General Motors slipped 3% to 79 and Fiat Chrysler had a 5% drop, registering a score of 75 out the possible 100. What's driving this trend of customer dissatisfaction? ASCI points to the rise in recalls and car prices. Where do you land on customer satisfaction spectrum? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the current state of car ownership and brand quality. For Autoblog, I'm Chris McGraw.

Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014

Thu, 27 Feb 2014

Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.

Feds fretting over remote hack of Jeep Cherokee

Fri, Jul 24 2015

A cyber-security gap that allowed for the remote hacking of a Jeep Cherokee has federal officials concerned. An associate administrator with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Thursday that news of the breach conducted by researchers Chris Valasek and Charlie Miller had "floated around the entire federal government." "The Homeland Security folks sent out broadcasts that, 'Here's an issue that needs to be addressed,'" said Nathaniel Beuse, an associate administrator with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Valasek and Miller commandeered remote control of the Cherokee through a security flaw in the cellular connection to the car's Uconnect infotainment system. From his Pittsburgh home, Valasek manipulated critical safety inputs, such as transmission function, on Miller's Jeep as he drove along a highway near St. Louis, MO. The scope of the remote breach is believed to be the first of its kind. The prominent cyber-security researchers needed no prior access to the vehicle to perform the hack, and the scope of the remote breach is believed to be the first of its kind. A NHTSA spokesperson said the agency's cyber-security staff members are "putting their expertise to work assessing this threat and the response, and we will take action if we determine it's necessary to protect safety." A Homeland Security spokesperson referred questions about the hack to Chrysler. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has already been the subject of a federal hearing this month, in which officials scrutinized whether the company had adequately fixed recalled vehicles and repeatedly failed to notify the government about defects. But cyber-security concerns are a new and different species for the regulatory agency. Only hours before the Jeep hack was announced by Wired magazine earlier this week, NHTSA administrator Dr. Mark Rosekind said hacking vulnerabilities were a threat to privacy, safety, and the public's trust with new connected and autonomous technologies that allow vehicles to communicate. NHTSA outlined its response to the cyber-security challenges facing the industry in a report issued Tuesday. In it, the agency summarized its best practices for thwarting attacks and said it will analyze possible real-time infiltration responses. But the agency's ability to handle hackers may only go so far.
