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!

Fiat buying rest of Chrysler in $4.35 billion deal, IPO avoided

Wed, 01 Jan 2014

Chrysler will now become a wholly owned member of the Fiat family, as it's been announced that the 41.46-percent stake in the Auburn Hills, MI-based manufacturer owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA trust fund will be sold to the Italian company. Concluding the agreement will mark the closure of a piecemeal purchase process that could have resulted in an initial public offering.
The total cost of the sale will see the VEBA healthcare trust receive $4.35 billion, $3.65 billion of which will come from Fiat. $1.75 billion of that will be cash, while an additional $1.9 billion will be part of a "special distribution." An additional $700 million will be paid over four separate installments according to reports from Automotive News Europe and USA Today, although the shares will belong to Fiat following the first payment. The deal was reportedly initially struck on Sunday (though it is just being announced today), and is being portrayed as particularly good news for Fiat and Chrysler, which have now prevented the remaining shares going to the stock market in a UAW-forced IPO.
"The unified ownership structure will now allow us to fully execute our vision of creating a global automaker that is truly unique in terms of mix of experience, perspective and know-how, a solid and open organization that will ensure all employees a challenging and rewarding environment," Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne said in a statement.

China's Geely says it has no plan to buy Fiat Chrysler — as FCA stock leaps

Wed, Aug 16 2017

HONG KONG — Chinese carmaker Geely Automobile denied media speculation on Wednesday that it planned to make a takeover bid for Fiat Chryslerk Automobiles (FCA), the world's seventh-largest automaker. Geely was one of several Chinese carmakers cited in by Automotive News, which said representatives of "a well-known Chinese automaker" had made an offer this month for FCA, which has a market value of almost $20 billion. "We don't have such a plan at the moment," Geely executive director Gui Shengyue told reporters at an earnings briefing, when asked if Geely was interested in Fiat. He said a foreign acquisition would be complicated, but he did not elaborate. "But for other (Chinese) brands, it could be a fast track for their development," Gui added. However, a source close to the matter said FCA and Geely Automobile's parent firm, Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, had held initial talks late last year, without disclosing their nature. The source confirmed Geely was no longer interested in FCA, noting that the parent company had only three months ago announced its first push into Southeast Asia with the purchase of 49.9 percent of struggling Malaysian carmaker Proton, a deal that also included a stake in Lotus. Geel's denial failed to dent FCA's stock. The price of its Milan-based shares has jumped more than 10 percent to a 19-year high since Automotive News first reported on Monday, citing unnamed sources, that FCA had rejected the Chinese offer as too low. FCA stock on the New York Stock Exchange rose sharply on Monday from $11.60 to $12.38 and on Wednesday was trading at $12.84. FCA declined to comment on Wednesday. FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne has repeatedly called for mergers as a way of sharing the costs of making cleaner, more advanced cars, but he has repeatedly failed to find a partner and retreated from his search for in April, saying FCA would stick to its business plan. He has also spoken of spinning the successful Jeep and Ram divisions off from FCA. Europe's largest carmaker, Volkswagen, and General Motors have both said they are not interested in talks with FCA. On Wednesday, Geely Automobile reported a doubling of first-half profit, above expectations, as cars designed with Sweden's Volvo won over domestic consumers. Volvo is a unit of the Zhejiang Geely group, and has recently announced it will share its technology with Geely.

SRT belatedly claims Plymouth Prowler as one of its own

Wed, 19 Dec 2012

Before Chrysler had Street and Racing Technology, it had Performance Vehicle Operations. What the two entities have in common, before SRT became its own brand, of course, is that each was created to take Chrysler and Dodge (and Plymouth, before it was unceremoniously killed off) vehicles to the next level of style and performance.
We'll leave the question of whether or not the old Plymouth (and later Chrysler) Prowler was ultimately a stylish, performance-oriented car to you, but the boys and girls currently leading the SRT charge at the Pentastar headquarters are keen to accept the retro-rod into the fold.
According to the automaker, all of SRT's current high-performance models owe a debt of gratitude to the old Prowler, due mostly to that car's use of lightweight bits and pieces and innovative construction techniques. If nothing else, the fact that the Prowler's frame is "the largest machined automotive part in history" is pretty cool. Read all the details here.
