1968 Imperial Crown Coupe This is a really nice survivor car. 1968 Imperial Crown Coupe. Color is Forest Green metallic with the full dark green leather interior. The car was originally sold at Town and Country Chrysler in Minnesota. The original owner purchase the car and took delivery in December 1967. While the car was used for a period of time in Minnesota during all of our seasons, it was not used excessively which is why this car is still in such good condition for an unrestored Imperial. The family owned the car until 1987 when it was sold to a collector and at the time of the sale the car had approximately 39,000 miles on the odometer. Second owner kept the Imperial for another 10 years using the car very little. He sold the car with a little over 41,000 miles showing, and the rest of the miles have been my pleasure to add to this fine road car. Currently the car shows 59,591 miles, so for a vehicle that is 47 years old it is a low mileage example. I would rate this a solid #3 car. It is not a concourse show car and it is my no means a perfect car. It is an honest survivor with 47 years of patina. I am not representing this as such. I don’t think you will find a more solid and good driving 47 year old original unrestored Imperial. 440 cubic inch engine (rated at 375 hp with the dual
exhaust/dual snorkel air cleaner) 4 barrel carburetor Automatic transmission Power steering Power brakes Power windows Dual power bucket seats with auto forward on passenger seat Auto – temp air conditioning AM/FM signal seeking radio with reverberator Front and rear seat speaker Rear window defroster Carpeted trunk Full leather interior Full carpeting Front and rear seat center arm rests Seat belts Vanity mirror Dual exhaust and dual snorkel air cleaner Paint on the car is not perfect but it is still very nice for its age. The right front fender has had some paint work done a long time ago. Something on the fender cap has caused round spots. I don’t know what this is from since it was this way when I bought the car. Other than the right front fender cap and forward part of the front fender, the paint to me looks to be original. There are chips along the side from various door dings. Paint shines well and shows well from 10 feet. Vinyl roof cap is in good condition. It is not ripped or town. Chrome roof trim is also in good condition. All bumpers are solid as are the two rear bumperettes. These are not rusted like happens with so many of these Imperials. Chrome is the original the car came with when new. Interior is in very nice condition. Headliner is intact with now sags, rips, stains, tears, or mouse holes. Visors are nice. Package shelf is in good condition and has not been cut or damaged. All side panels are in good condition. All of the bronze pieces are with the car. That is a rarity with the 1968 Imperial as pieces tend to get lost. All of the pieces are here and in place! All of the courtesy lights work too. Leather seats are in excellent condition. There are no rips or tears in the leather. Dash pad is clean and in good condition. No sagging, warping, or cracking. Steering wheel is solid and no cracks! Again, a rare find from a car built 47 years ago. All of the gauges, the speedometer, the clock, power antenna, radio, and reverb work correctly. Trunk is clean. Carpet is in good condition as are all of the plastic or cardboard trunk panels. Includes the correct jack, handle, base, and the spare tire with carpeted cover. Here are the things I know to be issues: 1.
Right rear window motor is stuck. I had this problem a couple of years ago and
got the motor working. It is stuck again
from lack of use. So the motor will need
to be serviced. 2.
Tires are old and will need to be replaced. There is lots of tread left, but because of
the age (they are over 10 years old) I would not take this car on a long
highway trip until the tires are replaced. 3.
Auto-temp system works but needs servicing. System will start and operate but does not
always adjust the airflow. Air
conditioning will blow cold so the system does hold a charge. I am selling this car
as is with no warrantee. You’re
purchasing a 47 year old un-restored car.
I require a nonrefundable deposit
within 48 hours of the close of the auction.
Final payment to be made by cash, wire transfer, or cashier’s check prior pick-up
or delivery of the car. Car will not be
release until any cashier’s check has been cleared. The car has a clean/clear Minnesota
title. You are responsible for any
transportation costs to ship the car.
You are responsible for any cost associated with an inspection. I will not share those costs with you! If you win the auction I will help with
coordinating pick up by your transport company.
Car is available for inspection in Minneapolis, MN. I reserve the right to end the listing if the item is no longer available. |

Catching up with Chrysler's EV catch-up plan
Tue, Sep 16 2014At your home or office? Those are the key words for how Chrysler and its Fiat affiliate want to narrow the plug-in vehicle sales gap between themselves and more plug-in-centric companies like Nissan and Ford, according Wards Auto. When the gap will narrow is anyone's guess. The US automaker, long a laggard in electric-powertrain development, is working on an wireless, inductive charging system with Qualcomm and which could spur sales of plug-in vehicles for personal use. A wireless system would allow for hands-free charging for vehicles like the Fiat 500e, the company's only plug-in vehicle being sold to the public in the US as well as a plug-in hybrid minivan that's in the works for 2016. On the business front, Chrysler is working with nonprofit NextEnergy on developing a reverse-power-flow system. That would allow for fleet-owning businesses to draw power from their plug-in vehicles' batteries during mid-day peak-energy times, when electricity rates are highest. Chrysler and NextEnergy ran a one-month test of a reverse-power-flow system with four Fiat 500e vehicles last year, and the companies found that they could cut power usage enough to save $1,200. Chrysler extrapolated those numbers to estimate that such a system with just a dozen plug-in vehicles could save a company as much as $27,000 a year. Get more details over at Wards Auto.

America was the unexpected theme at the 2017 Detroit Auto Show thanks to Trump
Wed, Jan 11 2017President-elect Donald Trump was not in attendance at this year's Detroit Auto Show, but it sure seemed like he was the target audience for many of the press conferences and announcements surrounding the event. Several manufacturers chose to play up existing and future commitments to the US in general and American jobs specifically in their presentations to the press, and we're pretty sure that has everything to do with Trump's recent targeting of automakers on Twitter. To us, it seemed automakers were going on the offensive to try and preempt any future tweet-shaming for investing in auto manufacturing anywhere but the US. The pro-America sentiment started the week prior to the auto show, with Ford announcing that it would build several future electrified vehicles at its Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan and also cancel a $1.6 billion factory planned for Mexico. Ford announced the two items on the same day, but the reality is that they likely have no relation to each other; the Mexican plant is being skipped because the company doesn't need the extra capacity to build the Ford Focus right now. Trump was still happy to share the news on Twitter. Then, on Sunday, FCA announced it would invest $1 billion in manufacturing plants in Ohio and Michigan to produce the new Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, and Wrangler-based pickup. It's not as though those potential new jobs were on their way out of the US, necessarily, but FCA took the opportunity to mention that plant upgrades at the Warren Truck Plant would allow the company to build Ram heavy duty trucks, which are currently assembled in Mexico, there. CEO Sergio Marchionne confirmed that Trump and his proposed tariffs had nothing to do with the decision. We certainly believe that, but we also have to believe that the timing of the release, positive outcome for America, and zero gain for Mexico were all orchestrated. Again, Trump sent out a victory tweet as if this had been his doing. Ford then used its press conference at the show on Monday to reiterate the plans for Flat Rock and also confirm that the Ford Bronco and Ranger nameplates will be returning to the US market, and that both will be built at a plant in Michigan. Announcements of manufacturing locations are usually aimed at the UAW, which certainly has a stake in these things, but again this one was broadcast to the auto show crowd in general.
Stellantis expects strike to cost it $795 million in third-quarter profits
Tue, Oct 31 2023MILAN — Automaker Stellantis said Tuesday that the autoworkers strike in North America is expected to cost the company around 750 million euros ($795 million) in profits — less than its North American competitors. The Europe-based maker of Jeep, Fiat and Peugeot reported a 7% boost in net revenues to 45.1 billion euros, with production halts caused by the strikes costing the company 3 billion euros in sales through October. The net revenue boost was due to higher volumes in all markets except Asia. Chief Financial Officer Natalie Knight told journalists that StellantisÂ’ strike impact was lower than the other Big Three automakers due to its global profile as well as some high-profile cost-cutting measures, calculating the hit at around 750 million euros ($795 million.) GM, the last carmaker to reach a deal to end the strike, reported an $800 million strike hit. Ford has put its impact at $1.3 billion. “We continue to be in a very strong position globally and in the U.S. This is an important market for us, and weÂ’re highly profitable and we are very committed to our future," Knight said. “But mitigation is core to how we act, and how we proceed.” Stellantis has canceled appearances at the CES technology show in Las Vegas next year as well as the LA Auto Show, due to the strike impact. Stellantis on Saturday reached a tentative agreement with the United Auto Workers Union to end a six-week strike by more than 14,000 workers at its assembly plants in Michigan and Ohio, and at parts warehouses across the nation. Stellantis does not report full earnings for the third quarter, instead providing shipments and revenues. It said that global sales of electric vehicles rose by 37% over a year earlier, powered by the Jeep Avenger and commercial vehicle sales. North America continued to be the revenue leader, contributing 21.5 billion euros, an increase of 2% over last year, and representing nearly half of global revenues. Europe, the next biggest performing region, saw revenues grow 5% to 14 billion euros, as sales rose 11%. Related video: Earnings/Financials UAW/Unions Alfa Romeo Chrysler Dodge Fiat Jeep Maserati RAM
