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!

SRT Viper plant idled over slow sales [UPDATE]
Wed, Mar 19 2014The SRT Viper is taking an extended production break later this spring while the factory copes with low demand and gears up for the 2015 model year. Chrysler will idle the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant from April 14 to June 23, and 91 employees there will be laid off during that time. Sales have been slow so far this year, with just 91 Vipers sold in the first two months of 2014 (591 were sold all last year), according to The Detroit News. According to Chrysler, this is all part of the plan for the Viper. The automaker says that the Connor Avenue factory was meant to fluctuate in this way because it only builds one vehicle, and the sports coupe was never meant to be a mass-production vehicle. The company claims that idling the plant will allow it to manage showroom inventories. "Customer and dealer demand for the SRT Viper continues at expected levels," said Chrysler spokesperson Dianna Gutierrez to The Detroit News. SRT hasn't revealed what changes are planned for the 2015 model. This isn't the first time we've heard of the Viper's weak demand. As of October 2013, SRT had hoped to build around 2,000 examples, but only about 1,000 had been made. At that point, officials then revealed production would likely be scaled back. We've contacted the Chrysler for further information, and we'll update this post if and when we hear back. UPDATE: Chrysler has passed along this official statement regarding the plant idling: Chrysler Group confirms that its Conner Avenue Assembly Plant will be down, beginning the week of April 14. Production will resume the week of June 23. Ninety-one UAW-represented employees will be laid off during this time. The SRT Viper is a hand-crafted American exotic car that is designed for a specific consumer that values performance, style and exclusivity. It has never been intended to be a mass-production vehicle as less than 29,000 vehicles have been produced in the past 20 years. The ability to increase and decrease production at the Conner Avenue Assembly Plant allows the company to continue to meet our customers' desire to keep these special cars exclusive. We will be able to take advantage of this transition to manage dealer inventories.
Ram helps power Chrysler to 11% gain in May
Mon, 03 Jun 2013Increasing consumer demand for Ram pickup trucks and big SUVs has helped to boost May sales for Chrysler. Ram sales were up a total of 24 percent year-over-year for the month of May. In addition, Dodge sales increased by 23 percent in May, with the standout Durango clocking a 24-percent year-over-year improvement (with an updated 2014 model in the wings, incentives are thick on the ground for 2013 inventory). Fiat and Jeep were up only a modest one percent, however, and Chrysler brand sales were down by two percent against last year's figures.
Chrysler is quite pleased overall with brand performance, saying that this May marks the company's strongest in the past six years. It was also the 38th consecutive month showing year-over-year sales gains.
Eight of the automaker's vehicles set sales records for May, as well: Jeep Wrangler and Compass, Dodge Avenger and Challenger, Fiat 500, Chrysler 200 and Ram pickups. Scroll down to read more detail in Chrysler's press release.
Undersized grille was #1 complaint of 2011-2014 Chrysler 300 owners
Wed, Dec 24 2014Not only did the 2005-2011 Chrysler 300 have a big ol' grille, it jutted ahead of the car. The grille was the metaphorical figurehead for the USS 300, and it did its job, making the sedan the Central Casting submission for "in-your-face styling" that rolled down the street winning the game of "Made You Look." The one-billion-dollar redesign for 2011 (pictured above) aimed for more upscale and less aggression - "a more grown-up look" - so the grille shrunk. And Chrysler 300 buyers hated that. So said Chrysler brand president Al Gardner to Edmunds, relating that the smaller grille was "the No. 1 issue" on the list of customer complaints about the model years from 2011 to 2014. It doesn't appear to have been much loved in-house, either, with Ralph Gilles having said of it, "Our previous generation of leaders didn't understand the car very well, and kind of forced this front end on us." That's why the grille on the 2015 model (pictured in 300S trim, inset) was aggrandized by 33 percent, although it's still not as large as on the first generation, and the more fluid design of the current car doesn't let it stand out as before. Gardner went on to say that designers "spent more time on the front end than on anything else," in search of, as Gilles put it, "the attitude it deserves." We'll soon find out if that increases the number of buyers it deserves as well.
