I purchased this car on ebay in June of 2007 from Indianapolis Indiana and drove it home to the Houston, TX area.   I bought this car because of the great memories I had with my last '74 Imperial. It really is a pleasure to drive.  According to the previous owner, this car was sold new at Tom O'Brien Chrysler Plymouth in Indianapolis and remained in the garage of the original owner in the small town of Needham until 2003.  A Derby car guy had it for a short time and then listed it on Ebay in December 2003 when the previous owner purchased it.  He had it from 90,000 miles through 106,130 miles.  The previous owner kept good service records. I have receipts for service records.  At some point he had the exhaust dualed out with flow master mufflers installed.  After I purchased it that was one of my first items to address.  I don't think a luxury car should sound like a race car so I had the mufflers replaced with regular high flow ones.  It is not as quiet as from the factory because I didn't put resonators on it, but it sounds nicer than the flow masters.  At the time I purchased it, the A/C was not functioning.  The hoses were leaking and I had the hoses rebuilt in Tulsa, OK on the way back to Houston, while staying with a friend.  At that time I installed a new compressor and clutch, expansion valve, and bought a new filter/drier.  The condenser had powder in it from the drier, so I ordered a new one online and installed that once I  got home. I didn't like the factory radio, so I installed a newer Chrysler factory Infinity  radio with cassette and CD and Infinity speakers.  No wiring was cut and I am including the original and a spare factory radio if you want to easily convert it back.  The power antenna has stopped working also.  Factory jack and lug wrench are like new. Headliner has two spots that are torn a little. The front windows work but the rear ones don't.  The motors work, but the plastic gears in the motors break and it is a relatively easy fix.  I recently saw the parts online for about $15 each.  I purchased 5 new American Classic tires with the correct width whitewall and put them inside the car for a few days until I had time to get them installed.  Some of the black from the tires bled through the protective plastic they were wrapped in, onto the rear seats, headrests and armrests.  After seeing this, I turned my back on this car and didn't do anything else to it for about 4 years.  I just washed the blue protective coating off the tires for the pictures.  I have only put 1579 miles on this car since I bought it a little over 7 years ago and about 1050 of those miles were from Indianapolis to Houston via Tulsa, OK.  The tires have less than 500 miles on them.  The steering wheel has a crack at the top and the bottom, but the "rim blow" horn still works.  I am including many extra parts to include: extra wheel cover, Auto Temp control module, Auto Temp II amplifier module and control head, factory rear window defrost with factory wiring harness and switch, extra dash panel,many extra door pull strap inserts, 2 radios, extra window motor, extra front turn signal lens, front passenger seat side panels to convert to electric (no wiring, switch, or seat frame with motors).  The transmission has a leak but works fine.  I have finally accepted the fact that I just don't have time for all of my classic cars and need to sell some.  I have a 1991 Imperial for sale also and soon a 2004 Volvo V70 will be listed.

Massive Airbag Recall Affects Seven Automakers

Mon, Jun 23 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a role in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time. BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall. Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the NHTSA found that moisture played a roll in determining if there would be a problem. Ford is recalling an estimated 58,669 cars that include the 2005-2006 model years of the Ford GT for the driver and passenger inflators, the 2007-2007 model years of the Mustang for the driver side and 2004 Ranger for the passenger side. It covers vehicles originally sold or currently registered in, wait for it... Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands. Honda is issuing three separate recalls regarding the problem. First, the company is recalling the 2002-2003 model years Civic, CR-V and Odyssey and the 2003 model year of the Accord, Element, Pilot and Acura MDX to replace the passenger's side inflator. This covers all models nationwide. Second, Honda is repairing the passenger's side airbag inflator in the 2003-2005 Accord, Civic, CR-V, Element, Pilot, the 2003-2004 model year versions of the Odyssey, the 2003-2005 model year Acura MDX and 2005 Acura RL. However, only for vehicles located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, Puerto Rico and the US Virgin Islands. Owners will be notified in July. Finally, Honda is separately replacing some models' driver's side inflators.

Treasury says auto bailout tally drops to $20.3 billion

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

In December, the US Treasury announced that it was going to sell all of its shares in General Motors within 12 to 15 months. The first tranche of the 500-million total shares was purchased by GM, which took 200 million of them at $27.50 per share. That price represents an eight-percent premium over the market price at the time. The remaining 300 million shares will be sold "through various means in an orderly fashion."
Of the $418 billion disbursed through the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), a report in Automotive News indicates that "about 93 percent" has been paid back, and the latest figures put Treasury's loss from the program overall at $55.58 billion. That's a $4.1 billion improvement on the last figure, when the expected red ink added up to $59.68 billion. The auto industry's portion of that loss is estimated to be $20.3 billion, a 16-percent drop from the earlier estimate of $24.3 billion.
The Treasury now owns 19 percent of GM, but if all goes well, there will be no more cause for anyone to utter "Government Motors" by the end of Q1 next year. A loss of some kind is still expected, however. Although GM's stock price is close to $29 at the time of this writing, that's still $4 below its IPO price and well below the $72 share price necessary for the government to come out even on its GM investment. On second thought, maybe the ribbing will continue.

Ferrari officially files SEC paperwork to register future IPO

Thu, Jul 23 2015

Late last year FCA announced plans to spin off Ferrari into a separate company, and after a long wait that process has finally become official. The Prancing Horse has now filed the necessary prospectus and other documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission to hold an initial public offering on The New York Stock Exchange. The paperwork doesn't mention a specific date for the Italian sportscar maker's IPO, but it's expected sometime in October. At this point, the documents also don't include some other vital data about the IPO. Ferrari lists neither the number of shares being offered nor their price. The company also doesn't have a stock symbol yet. UBS, BofA Merrill Lynch and Santander are acting as joint book runners for the deal. As part of the IPO, FCA initially intends to sell 10 percent of Ferrari's shares on the stock market. Another 10 percent of the company still belongs to Piero Ferrari. FCA is holding onto the remaining 80 percent in the short term for financial reasons but intends to distribute them to shareholders in early 2016. After the spin-off, about 24 percent of Ferrari would be owned by Exor, 10 percent by Piero Ferrari, and 66 percent by public shareholders, according to the SEC documents. FCA boss Sergio Marchionne believes that Ferrari could be worth over $11 billion. Although, his estimate might be slightly high. According to Reuters, Wall Street is actually putting the value somewhere between $5.5 billion and $11 billion. If you're thinking about investing in the company or just want to read the nitty-gritty about the brand's financial health, the entire SEC filing can be read here. Ferrari Files for Initial Public Offering LONDON, July 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. ("FCA") announced today that its subsidiary, New Business Netherlands N.V. (to be renamed Ferrari N.V.), has filed a registration statement on Form F-1 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for a proposed initial public offering of common shares currently held by FCA. The number of common shares to be offered and the price range for the proposed offering have not yet been determined, although the proposed offering is not expected to exceed 10% of the outstanding common shares. In connection with the initial public offering, Ferrari intends to apply to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange.
