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.

Could Chrysler leave Michigan for Tennessee?

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Detroit's Big Three could become the Big Two. According to an AP report in The Detroit News, state officials have been lobbying for Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne to select Tennessee as the location for Fiat's joint headquarters with Chrysler Group LLC.
This weekend, Marchionne met with Tennessee governor Bill Haslam at a ceremony celebrating the expansion of a Fiat subsidiary plant in the city of Pulaski. The AP report does not mention any serious talks about headquarters relocation, only that Tennessee officials have been "working me over pretty well," according to Marchionne.
Fiat hopes to complete its merger with the Auburn Hills-based automaker sometime next year, and earlier reports have stated that the company is seeking $10 billion in financing to buy the remaining bits of Chrysler. If the company were to relocate, it would join Nissan and Volkswagen in having major American automotive operations in Tennessee. Of course, that whole "Imported From Detroit" thing would need to go out the window, as well.

Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration

Tue, Dec 23 2014

If you're already jealous of the time, effort and money that Jay Leno can devote to his massive car collection, prepare to get a little greener with envy with this latest video from Jay Leno's Garage. Instead of the usual format of discussing a model for about ten minutes and then taking it out for a test drive, this week Leno gives viewers on a tour of over a dozen projects concurrently happening in his stable. The breadth of the vehicles shown and the things being done to them run the entire span of the automotive hobby. At the same time, Jay's shop is working on just a simple restoration of his 1969 Lamborghini Espada (pictured), and at the other side of the building, the team is rebuilding a wood-bodied 1914 Detroit Electric from scratch. He eventually plans to slot a more modern electric drivetrain into it. If bikes are more your interest, there's a freshly completed Brough Superior just waiting for a ride, and if American models are your thing, a Ford Bronco is getting a Coyote V8 installed into it. You have some very specific tastes if you can't watch this clip and start wishing at least one of these vehicles could be in your own garage. Other than the personal projects his mechanics are working on in the shop, Jay gets to have them all, plus plenty more.
