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.

eBay Find of the Day: 1979 Chrysler ETV-1 electric car prototype

Mon, 27 Jan 2014

Electric cars may be reaching their time in the sun with successes like the Tesla Model S, but the basic concept goes back to practically beginning of motoring. EVs also saw a brief renaissance in the 1970s when automakers were trying find a way around rising fuel prices. This 1979 Chrysler ETV-1 concept for sale on eBay Motors is a great example from that era.
Built in 1979, designers hoped the ETV-1 would preview what an electric car would look like in 1985. The base price was slated to start at $6,400, or the rough equivalent of $20,536, which seems like an optimistic price. General Electric created the ETV-1's powertrain, and Chrysler was in charge of styling. At the time, the Department of Energy called it "the first advanced four-passenger subcompact experimental electric car."
While it seems ancient compared to today's EVs, the ETV-1 featured regenerative braking and a computer-controlled electric motor. Chrysler reported a 100-mile range at 45 miles per hour with two passengers in the car. The range fell to 75 miles with four passengers. Acceleration was not brisk with Chrysler claiming the run to 30 mph in 9 seconds. Power was stored in 18 lead-acid batteries, and a full charge took 10 hours from a home outlet.

Trump Administration will look 'very carefully' at FCA/Peugeot deal

Sat, Nov 2 2019

WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will look very closely at the planned merger between Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot owner PSA, White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow said on Friday. The deal, announced on Thursday, would create the world's fourth-largest automaker. "We will obviously look at it very, very carefully," Kudlow said on Bloomberg. "The president has not commented on the deal ... We're not afraid of doing business with international companies, Lord knows." When asked about the 12.2% equity stake and 19.5% voting stake China's Dongfeng Motors holds in PSA, Kudlow said: "With respect to the Chinese story, we obviously are alert and on guard." The deal, which would be structured as a 50-50 merger, would create the fourth-largest global automaker with annual sales of nearly 9 million vehicles. Fiat Chrysler told employees the deal could generate synergies of 3.7 billion euros but added "these synergies are NOT based on closing plants." Fiat Chrysler declined to comment. There has been speculation Dongfeng might sell its holdings, which could help ease the deal's passage through U.S. regulators, given U.S.-Chinese trade tensions. "We will welcome a good deal. We hope it will get more production in the United States, more factories and workers and employment in the U.S. And with respect to the Chinese angle, we will take a careful look at it," Kudlow said. Fiat Chrysler said on Thursday that "teams at both companies are working to finalize discussions and reach a Memorandum of Understanding in the coming weeks."

Fiat Chrysler's London offices will be small, with financial focus

Tue, 20 May 2014

Fiat Chrysler's decision to locate its new corporate headquarters in jolly old London won't herald a sprawling relocation effort. Instead, it's very likely that the FCA outfit will be a small one, primarily focused on finance.
The report comes from Automotive News Europe, which claims FCA's London office will employ about 50 people with backgrounds in finance. CEO Sergio Marchionne and Fiat Group Chairman John Elkann will both have offices at the corporate headquarters, as well.
ANE cites an anonymous source that claims the people employed at the London office will focus primarily on treasury operations. It's unlikely that FCA will take on any additional employees specifically for its UK offices. That said, FCA isn't likely to downsize either its Turin or Auburn Hills offices once London comes online.
