With great reluctance, I am forced to part with my 1966 Imperial Crown Coupe. This is a dream car of mine because my grandfather owned one and I always admired the Virgil Exner design, especially the 1966. This was the first year of the 440 350 horsepower engine and the last year of the body on frame design and the iconic front end. I purchased this car from a dealer who was consigning it for the family of the original owner. It had sat for several years garaged, and was in very nice preserved original condition. They went through the normal things you would do when bringing a car out of mothballs such as going through the fluids, belts, brakes, shocks new tires, and so on. I have replaced the starter and relay, thoroughly cleaned the carb, and have done nothing but enjoy driving this car for the last 8 months and 1,000 miles. This car is truly a pleasure to drive, feels like new. Will cruise at 75 on the highway easily, and will never get confused with a Prius. The exterior is mostly original paint; I believe the roof and one of the rear quarters has been painted before, the rest original. The paint does have a few blemishes and thin spots which I have photographed. Excellent body. Very nice Chrome. The interior is in fantastic shape. Everything works, including the power seats, windows, climate control, and original radio. This car will not disappoint.

I paid $8500 for this car, not including my shipping costs and maintenance. I thought at the time this was a great price for such a nice driving, well preserved car. Unfortunately things have slowed down enough at my business that I am forced to make some hard decisions, and this was the hardest one yet. I had truly planned on keeping this car forever, but the money would certainly help right now. While I have left an "offer" option, I am not desperate by any means. If we are a few hundred away from making a deal I am happy to accommodate. I am also very happy to accommodate for personal inspections, and help with any kind of shipping arrangement you would need to make. Please fire away with any questions. Thanks.

Marchionne ready to get tough with GM over merger

Mon, Aug 31 2015

FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne absolutely refuses to let go of his dream of a merger with General Motors. With official discussions not happening, Marchionne now hints that a hostile takeover attempt of The General could be under consideration as a future strategy. In a massive interview with Automotive News, the boss explains why a tie-up with GM might be such a windfall for both automakers. By Marchionne's numbers, a merged GM-FCA would produce $30 billion a year in global earnings and 17 million vehicles annually. He claims these huge figures are based on analyzing plants around the world to find growth opportunities. So far, GM is refusing to sit down and look at the numbers, let alone even begin to negotiate. For now, Marchionne just wants to talk, but he's not against aggressive action, if necessary. He uses a bizarre metaphor in the interview to explain his feelings. "There are varying degrees of hugs. I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you. Everything starts with physical contact," he said to Automotive News. "An attack on GM, properly structured, properly financed, it cannot be refused," he said in the interview. Marchionne is looking for partners, too. The UAW's significant stake in GM could be a strong ally, and he's reportedly recruiting activist investors for more help. Selling Magneti Marelli and spinning off Ferrari would put even more cash in the war chest. Both sides also have banks at their aid. While Marchionne received positive replies from some of his "Plan B" partners, he apparently lost interest in working with them. "Are they the people I wanted to get the response from? The answer is probably not. There are people who are interested in doing deals," he said in the interview.

Fiat-Chrysler CEO: Please Don't Buy The Fiat 500e

Wed, May 21 2014

Fiat-Chrysler's CEO had a strange request for electric vehicle shoppers on Wednesday: don't buy the all-electric Fiat 500e. While CEO Sergio Marchionne was speaking at a conference in Washington, he told the crowd he's tired of Chrysler-Fiat losing money, The Detroit News reported. "I hope you don't buy it [the 500e] because every time I sell one it costs me $14,000," he said to the audience at the Brookings Institution. "I'm honest enough to tell you that." Marchionne said federal and state fuel efficiency mandates are forcing the automaker to build unprofitable cars, according to Reuters. A normal Fiat 500 starts at $16,195, and the 500e starts at $32,650, before federal and state tax credits. There are no sales data to indicate how the 500e is performing.
