1983 Chrysler Imperial Base Hardtop 2-door 5.2l on 2040-cars
Rose Hill, North Carolina, United States
|
Here is a well kept example of an early 80's era Imperial. It is in very good condition inside and out. Interior still smells like a new car. Here's the good and the not so good.
Interior - When i sat in this car i was sold. The seats are extremely comfortable and the shag carpet makes you want to drive barefoot. The 'Mark Cross" edition leather is very pliable with minimal wear/marks. All seat functions are in working order. The power windows roll up and down with ease. All interior lighting/lenses work and are in good shape. The radio works, and has a "rear boost" feature that amplifies the rear speakers. Power antenna works fine. The cassette player does not work. The car came with a chrysler cassette tape which i have yet to hear. haha. Power locks work. Power side mirrors motors work, but there are a few positions that need a little push with the finger to get moving again. The instrument panel reads ok, but there are some digits that could be more clear. More noticable in the mileage and gas than the speedo. It comes with a Spare instrument panel. Exterior- Very straight with minimal rust. a few dings that are hard to see unless you catch it in the right light. All lenses are good; retractable headlight mechanisms work. Bumpers are straight and have nice chrome. The car has a "Zeibart" undercoating package. Frame and floorboards are solid. Has new rear metal brake lines and new front and rear rubber flex lines. New muffler and tailpipe. All original drivetrain never modified otherwise. The car came with front and rear anti-sway bars. The hubcaps are in very good shape. The 318 was changed over from the EFI to a 4bbl carb setup. A thermoquad sits on top. Otherwise there are only minimal changes from original. The A/C needs to be recharged. The car has the components for the cruise control but they are not installed. Included with the car are a new gas tank, sending unit, lines and straps for anyone wanting to do a complete changeover like they would have done at the dealer. Not necessary for regular driving, just what came with the car when i bought it. The carb needs to be tuned better. It has a hesitation during first during acceleration, and sometimes will stall, but not often. Id opt for an Edlebrock carb in place of the thermoquad. I think this would also solve this problem. The tires are old and have good tread, but the car really ought to have some new ones. Any other info or pics available upon request. |

Auto investor Kirk Kerkorian dead at 98
Wed, Jun 17 2015Kirk Kerkorian, among the most talked-about investors in the American auto industry in recent memory, died at the age of 98 in Los Angeles on Monday, June 15. The billionaire ran the investment company Tracinda Corp. and was the largest shareholder in MGM Resorts International. Kerkorian attempted to use his power as a well-financed investor to push the auto industry in some fascinating ways. In 2006, he used his nearly 10-percent stake in General Motors to push a merger with the Renault-Nissan Alliance. The deal made it as far as discussions, but eventually fell through. Kerkorian also attempted to purchase Chrysler - twice. According to Automotive News, the first effort came in 1995 with a $22.8-billion offer for the automaker, and soon after it failed the company merged with Daimler. Then in 2007, Kerkorian was back with a bid for $4.5 billion, but things eventually fell to Cerberus. The billionaire finished the trifecta by buying up $1 billion in Ford stock in 2008 to make Kerkorian the single largest investor in the company. However, the situation didn't last long, and by the end of that year, he had unloaded the shares. According to Automotive News, Kerkorian was ranked by Forbes as the world's 41st richest man in 2008 with a net worth of $16 billion.

26k Chrysler 200 models recalled over parking woes
Thu, Feb 26 2015Chrysler is recalling nearly 26,000 of its 2015 200 sedans after customers reported that cars aren't shifting into park. Only vehicles equipped with the 3.6-liter V6 are affected by the recall, which includes both front-drive and all-wheel-drive models (which could represent as much as 20 percent of the recalled vehicles). The roughly 26,000 vehicles were built between March 17, 2014 and September 20, 2014. As for where those vehicles can be found, 22,107 were sold in the United States. The remaining vehicles went to Canada and Mexico, with 3,600 in the former and 213 in the latter. Chrysler is blaming the recall on "inconsistent assembly procedures" at a supplier's factory, and will replace the transmissions of any vehicles affected by the defect. Owners of V6-powered 200s are being told to use their parking brake in addition to shifting into park. Although five incidents have been reported, FCA isn't aware of any injuries or accidents. Scroll down for the brief press release. Statement: Park Engagement February 26, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is launching a recall of certain model-year 2015 cars to resolve manufacturing issues that may prevent the vehicles from shifting into park. Inconsistent assembly procedures at a supplier's plant have been linked to five reports involving customers who could not shift their vehicles into park. Without park, a vehicle may be subject to inadvertent movement. FCA US is unaware of any related injuries or accidents. The campaign is limited to the Chrysler 200 equipped with a V-6 engine. There are an estimated 22,107 in the U.S.; 3,600 in Canada and 213 in Mexico. Customers will be advised when they may schedule service. FCA US dealers will inspect and, if required, replace transmissions at no charge. In the interim, customers who own models with V-6 engines are advised to activate the vehicle's parking brake before shutting off its engine, because the shifter may incorrectly indicate park is engaged. Customers with additional concerns may call 1-800-853-1403. Related Video:
Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
