1970 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron survivor car.  First the bad:  This original comes with original dings, dents, and scratches that a car will pick up from use, but all are minor.  Some cracks on the rear corner markers from what appears to be a light swipe - both sides, unfortunately.  Headliner in the rear driver-side corner is beginning to come loose, but is intact.  Vinyl top under the rear window was repaired (underneath has some surface rust but is solid).   Some sealing repair to the trunk - rubber seal was replaced with an alternative that honestly isn't cutting it.  Radio is not factory, and there is a crack in the steering wheel.  Motor could use a tune-up, and the front end could use adjustment to the alignment.  Some of the interior stitching in the seats is beginning to stretch, but there are no rips or tears.  Valve cover gasket has a slight leak, and the radiator is not original, but is still a chrysler manufacture.  NOW THE GOOD:  The interior carpet is immaculate - nice and plush, and not faded or threadbare.  Paint is original, everything works (we haven't tried the AC - probably it needs a recharge), including those pesky diaphragms for the headlights!  Some great details included are that ALL EMBLEMS are intact!  All the chrome is nice and shiny - "imperial" lettering is all there and looking good.  Hubcaps all bear the eagle emblem.  Original rubber floor mat with crest.  Even the extra seat belts mounted over the front doors are there!  Somewhere in this car's history, somebody had the wherewithal to get the underside coated, and the result is that aside from surface rust on exposed heavy metal pieces, the fuel tank, floor pans, and so on are rust free.  The body panels are also rust free with the exception of some surface rust at a few of the seams.  Power windows and seats, and a very smooth ride.  We can account for half of the car's life.  Alternator is new, and new brake master cylinder seal makes for good stops.  We have in the past year driven the car for several hours at a time, and it was smooth all the way.  It is a TRUE SURVIVOR, and a great, rare find - one of only about 11,000 made.  Odometer reads 21K, but likely it has flipped once and is 121K - 200k would make a lot more wear.  Take a look at the pics - there is much to see and scrutinize, but you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.  Please don't hesitate to ask any questions.  Thanks for looking!

Chrysler 100 hatchback caught cruising around Santa Monica

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

A coming hatchback said to be called the Chrysler 100 has been caught on video traipsing around Santa Monica by Autoblog reader Zach Dillman. Still wearing the scrapyard assemblage of Alfa Romeo Giulietta body panels as it was when spy photographers began capturing it last summer, its arrival date is still a question mark: some outlets have reported that it will go on sale this year, others have said it won't be in showrooms until 2016.
In fact, quite a few questions remain. Based on Fiat's Compact US Wide (CUSW) platform that supports the Dodge Dart and expected to be about the same size, the 100 is thought to be a small premium hatchback that will be priced above the Dart and below the Chrysler 200, with the idea that it can challenge the Ford Focus and Hyunda Elantra at the value end and the Buick Verano and Acura ILX at the premium end. Word is that there will be no sedan version.
It looks like there'll be plenty of gewgaws inside, with buttons for Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning and a button to toggle the traction control.

Chrysler 200 subtitles performance in latest round of advertising

Mon, 27 Oct 2014

Every once in a while, we come across a car video narrated in a foreign language and subtitled in English. They usually center on foreign-made automobiles, but this latest series of videos comes straight from Detroit.
Airing for the first time during's NFL broadcasts, these four commercials for the 2015 Chrysler 200 were produced by Wieden + Kennedy Portland - the same advertising firm that created the now-legendary Eminem spot for the last-generation 200.
Each clip in the "Ready to Take on the World" campaign highlights a different aspect of the American sedan and is narrated in Japanese, German or Swedish - each with English subtitles - associating the 200's Japanese level of quality, German performance and Swedish safety standards. But while the clips are ostensibly set in Japan, Germany and Sweden, Automotive News reports that they were actually filmed at home in the US.

This government surveillance van is both cool and creepy, and it could be yours

Tue, Jun 16 2020

Whether you're planning a heist and need to gather information, or you're a government agency tracking down the leader of a crime ring, Hollywood has taught us that the unmarked van is the ideal machine for gathering intel. And apparently that's not just a Hollywood trope, because you can buy this actual, honest-to-goodness ex-government surveillance van: a 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager. It's being sold by the Chicago suburb of Streamwood, Ill., on the government surplus auction site GovDeals. According to the description, the van was acquired by the town as part of a drug seizure and converted to surveillance duty. It looks like a plain white Grand Voyager for the most part, except for the amber flashing light on the roof. Or at least it looks like a light. It's actually the disguise for the camera periscope. Open up the sliding door of the van and you'll discover a swivel mount for the camera, a TV mounted to the back of the driver's seat, and a toolbox that holds all the electronic equipment, including battery chargers for the van and the camera. There are also solid panels behind the windows so that people walking by can't peer in and see all the equipment. It's a bit less wild than some of the vans we've seen on film, but those Hollywood vans are usually larger commercial vans that can store more people and stuff. Less interesting details include the fact that this Grand Voyager has a 3.3-liter V6 with an automatic transmission. It has just over 100,000 miles and was good for a little more than 150 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque when it was new. The interior looks impressively clean, as does most of the exterior, but the description and photos highlight the fact that the front strut towers are rusty and in need of repair. Included are new strut towers, but obviously the welding in and painting is the expensive part. Also, while we think this van is pretty neat, since it's an actual surveillance van like we've seen on film for years, we would feel creepy actually owning it. After all, it's a vehicle for watching people, and while a government might have a legitimate reason for doing that, your average person doesn't. Unless you need a prop for a film, are going to show it off at car shows, or are another city government needing a cheap surveillance car, we think having this would be a little too weird. But if you have one of those reasons, or are less worried about what people think, you have a few more days to bid.
