This car runs, shifts and drives wonderfully (less
than 200 miles on rebuilt engine) and looks great
from a distance but (in the spirit of honesty and
"full disclosure") less so when you get close:
it has a number of tiny dents and dings (really
could use new paint but as a driver it's just fine).
and there are a couple of interior cigarette burns 
(I'm told the gentleman who owned it previously
was the original owner, a mechanic who was rather
careless with his belongings especially when he had
beer in his belly).  Other little issues include a radio
antenna doesn't go up and down automatically as it's
supposed to (aftermarket AM/FM radio/casette player
works fine), headlight doors are stuck open, seat-motors
not fully operational (but can be partially adjusted; I'm
6'1" and totally comfortable in the driver's seat), all the
necessary instrument panel displays light up (but some don't
switch to the alternative settings, i. e. from gallons to litres,
etc).  I was told by the gentleman who handled the sale that
the car had a little less than 50,000 miles on when it was
converted from fuel injection to carburation at which point
the ODO's are zeroed-out; it's showing 80000 miles now.  
 
But ... in the final analysis this car IS a very rare Sinatra edition,
of which Barrett-Jackson has said there are less than 35 left licensed
in the U. S. thus this model is not only rare it's a true classic ... so if
you love these cars and are good w/your hands this car will help you
pass many enjoyable hours puttering and fixing and/or many more great hours
behind the wheel driving it as is.  One more thing, with the engine rebuild it has
smogged twice here in California (which means it'll smog anywhere it has to).  
 
So I'm leaving it to you Imperial afficionados to determine the
car's value by offering it at true No Reserve, pehraps one of the
last chances ever to own a Sinatra this decent for a great price
Granted this car may not be the handsomest guy in the class but
he sure can run!
 
Car is being sold as-is-where-is.  Buyer is responsible for
shipping from San Diego to your location.  $500 deposit
payable to ebay w/in 24 hours of completing purchase,
balance due within 48 hours after that.

As it did with Ferrari, Fiat Chrysler spinning off Magneti Marelli

Thu, Apr 5 2018

MILAN — Fiat Chrysler said on Thursday its board had tasked management to proceed with spinning off Magneti Marelli and distributing shares in a new holding for the 99-year old parts business to FCA investors. The spinoff is part of a plan by FCA Chief Executive Sergio Marchionne to "purify" the Italian-American carmaker's portfolio and to unlock value at Magneti Marelli, which sits within FCA's components unit alongside robotics specialist Comau and castings firm Teksid, and which analysts say could be worth between 3.6 and 5 billion euros ($4.4-6.1 billion). "The separation will deliver value to FCA shareholders, while providing the operational flexibility necessary for Magneti Marelli's strategic growth in the coming years," Marchionne said in a statement. Magneti Marelli, which employs around 43,000 people and operates in 19 countries, is a diversified components supplier specialized in lighting, powertrain and electronics, and its spinoff is part of a five-year business plan FCA is due to present on June 1. "The spinoff will also allow FCA to further focus on its core portfolio while at the same time improving its capital position," Marchionne added. Marchionne has a long history of such moves. The 65-year-old was behind the spinoff and listing of trucks and tractor maker CNH Industrial and supercar brand Ferrari. The Magneti Marelli separation is expected to be completed by the end of this year or early 2019, with shares in the company expected to be listed on the Milan stock exchange. FCA's advisers initially looked at a possible initial public offering for the business to raise cash to cut FCA's debt, but the Agnelli family - FCA's main shareholder - were put off by low industry valuations and did not want their stake in Magneti Marelli to be diluted, three sources close to the matter told Reuters last month. Magneti Marelli has often been touted as a takeover target and FCA has fielded interest from various rivals and private equity firms over the years. South Korea's Samsung Electronics made a bid approach in 2016 but negotiations fell through as it was only interested in parts of the business, other sources have said. The spinoff is subject to regulatory approvals, tax and legal considerations and a final approval by the FCA board. The carmaker may modify or call off the transaction at any time and for any reason, it added.

Does the future of Fiat-Chrysler include Dodge?

Thu, 13 Jun 2013

Wards Auto reports the future of Dodge is looking uncertain. Fiat has more or less laid out it's game plan for the next few years, and while the Chrysler, Fiat and Jeep lines are set to receive plenty of love, Dodge isn't so lucky. Fiat has already hobbled Dodge significantly by splitting off the brand's trucks into a separate Ram line.
Wards says that after the Avenger rides off into the sunset early next year, Fiat-Chrysler won't replace the model, leaving a gaping midsize hole in the Dodge lineup. The report also cites unnamed sources as saying that at least two other current Dodge products will move to the Chrysler line.
One of those could very well be the Grand Caravan. Chrysler has already made it clear that it plans to trim redundancy between its minivan offerings, but it has yet to clarify which other vehicle could sail under the Chrysler banner moving forward. Either way, such changes to the product line would theoretically leave Dodge with just four models.

Fiat Chrysler recalls 1.33 million vehicles over fire, air bag risks

Fri, Jul 14 2017

WASHINGTON - Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV said on Friday it is recalling 1.33 million vehicles worldwide in two separate campaigns for potential fire risks and inadvertent airbag deployments. The Italian-American automaker said it is recalling about 770,000 sport utility vehicles because of a wiring issue that may lead to inadvertent deployment of the driver-side air bag and is linked to reports of five related minor injuries, but no crashes. The company said wiring could chafe against pieces of steering-wheel trim, potentially causing a short-circuit and ultimately leading to an inadvertent air bag deployment. The issue could also cause unintended windshield wiper operation or inoperable switches. The recall covers 538,000 2011-2015 Dodge Journey vehicles in North America and 233,000 2011-2015 Fiat Freemont crossovers sold elsewhere. Dealers will inspect and replace the wiring, as needed and equip it with additional protective covering. The automaker is also recalling 565,000 vehicles to replace their alternators because of fire risks. The company said hot ambient temperatures could lead to premature diode wear, may result in a burning odor or smoke, could impact the anti-lock braking system or lead to engine stalls. The company said it is aware of two potentially related accidents but no injuries. The recall covers 2011-2014 model year Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Challenger cars and Dodge Durango SUVs and 2012-2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs. In October, Fiat Chrysler recalled about 86,000 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks, 3500, 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs from the 2007-2013 model years and 2011-2014 Dodge Charger Pursuit sedans for the same alternator issue. Fiat Chrysler said at the time one minor injury was related to the recall. Dealers will replace the alternators.
