Reluctantly we must pass our 1966 Imperial Crown to another enthusiast due to our current Packard Esquire project. We truly don't believe that you will ever find a better example of this model in terms of the original interior! Headlining, seat inserts, leather, claro walnut, and carpets are ALL original and are almost like new. There is one small tear in the fabric insert on the top of the driver's seat. The leather is supple, the walnut is not faded, the headlining is taught and tear free, and all the fine chrome and stainless embellishments are factory perfect. The repaint of this car is less than 2 years old.

This Imperial drives just as good as it looks, with a smooth recently re-built Torquefite transmission and all new brakes and master cylinder. The factory air system is all there and complete; however it does not work at present. All power accessories work with the exception of the passenger's front window (which we think is just disconnected). The radial tires have less than 1,000 miles since installation. Even the auto-dimmer works as well as the cruise control (this feature has been disconnected however). The 440 engine is one of the smoothest you'll find (they were factory balanced in this last body-on-frame Imperial). All exterior chrome and stainless is superb with the exception of the front bumper which is solid but needs re-plating. The trunk is very clean and has its original carpeting. Somewhere down the road, the manifold seals should be replaced and possibly a new exhaust system installed, but the car is VERY quiet! We have lavished a lot of love on this car and have all the paperwork and the owner's manual to prove it. We invite your personal inspection at any time during the auction, which, we think is always the best way to buy a car on E-Bay. We have 100% positive feedback and expect that from you, the buyer. We welcome questions about this superb Imperial--perhaps the best year Imperial of all--and we think you will be surprised at the modest reserve for a car of this calibre. This very weather-tight and dependable car can be driven home!

Fiat and UAW back at negotiating table over Chrysler stake

Mon, 23 Dec 2013

We knew there'd be no Chrysler IPO before the end of this year, but Fiat is determined to get the best run going into 2014 and is back at the poker table with the UAW. The delay was said to be Chrysler's desire to clean up a tax issue with the IRS; turns out that also bought the carmaker time to try and close a deal for the UAW's 48.5-percent stake in the company before the IPO happens.
Whereas the price Chrysler was willing to pay was once more than $1 billion under the UAW's asking price, the gap has closed to just $800 million of late. A recent valuation of the company at $10 billion - a valuation the UAW has disputed - means Fiat would be looking to pay about $4.2 billion instead of the $5 billion that the UAW seeks. But the UAW needs to hold out for the highest amount it can get because its pension obligations through the Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) are $3.1 billion greater than the VEBA's assets, which include the Chrysler stake.
There's a clause in the agreement that Fiat can buy the VEBA shares for $6 billion, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has said that the UAW "should buy a ticket for the lottery" if they even want $5 billion. The UAW, though, has more time to wait; it's Fiat that wants access to Chrysler's $11.9-billion war chest and that would like to avoid the risk of paying the full $6 billion for the UAW share if the float really takes off. With other valuations of Chrysler as high as $19 billion, a hot IPO could make that $6 billion look like a bargain.

FCA's Pentastar V6 gets more power, efficiency for 2016

Wed, Sep 2 2015

Already a vital member of FCA's powertrain lineup, the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 is receiving major efficiency improvements for 2016. Thanks to a massive amount of new tech attached to the mill, fuel economy is up six percent, and torque below 3,000 rpm jumps nearly 15 percent. The updates arrive first in the 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, but they should proliferate to other models eventually. At least in the Grand Cherokee, the tweaks push power up five horsepower to 295 ponies. FCA's engineers went through the Pentastar from top to bottom to eke out as much efficiency as possible. For example, there's now a two-speed variable-valve lift system that can run in low- or high-lift modes. This upgrade is responsible for 2.7-percent better economy, the company claims. A new intake manifold with longer runners and updated variable-valve times also helps boost the torque output. Further improvements come from pushing the compression ratio to 11.3:1, from 10.2:1 before. Perhaps most impressive is that despite all of the innovations, the latest Pentastar actually weighs four pounds less than the current version. Beyond the Pentastar improvements, all of the FCA US gasoline engines, except for the Viper's 8.4-liter V10, will be E15-compatible for 2016. The company says that it wants to be ready for the higher ethanol content fuel's greater use in the near future.

More 2015 Chrysler 200 photos surface

Wed, 08 Jan 2014

Just 24 hours after the first official 2015 Chrysler 200 shot made its way onto the web, a whole smattering of images have surfaced, courtesy of the folks at Motorward. Here, we can see the new Chrysler family sedan from every angle, including the interior, and might we say, she's pretty.
As we told you yesterday, the new 200 will be offered with either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 184 horsepower and 173 pound-feet of torque or a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 with 295 hp and 262 lb-ft. A nine-speed automatic transmission accessed through Chrysler's rotary shifter (mounted on a Volvo-style floating center console) will direct power to the wheels. We've heard that both front- and all-wheel drive will be available, and what's more, it's been said that the new 200 will be able to achieve at least 35 miles per gallon on the highway.
An on-sale date has yet to be announced, but the new 200 will reportedly be priced at $21,700, not including $995 for destination. Have a look at the new round of photos in the gallery above - the striking blue model above looks to be the sportier 200S - and stay tuned for the officially official stuff early next week... if not sooner.
