Frank Sinatra Edition Offered At No Reserve on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
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

Next Chrysler minivan to get optional AWD, nine-speed auto
Wed, 19 Feb 2014
"The minivan package has always been a sacred thing ... it's basically a life tool" - Ralph Gilles
The stalwart duo of Chrysler minivans will be reduced by half in the vehicle's next generation, with the Dodge Grand Caravan likely going away in favor of a new people-mover-type vehicle. And while the reworked Chrysler Town & Country shouldn't radically shake up the usual minivan formula, a new report from Automotive News suggests that some new technologies and thoughtful updates are in the cards for our Canadian-built van.
Chrysler Town & Country plug-in hybrid minivan coming in 2015
Mon, 06 Oct 2014Among the multitude of models that Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced as part of its five-year production plan in May was a plug-in hybrid version of the Town & Country minivan for sometime in 2016. However, according to the latest pronouncement from company CEO Sergio Marchionne, that timetable may have been moved forward quite a bit.
Marchionne told Automotive News at the Paris Motor Show that the PHEV minivan would now be launching in late 2015. That strategy does seem a bit confusing, though, because the next-gen platform for the T&C isn't supposed to hit the road until sometime in 2016, according to the plan. So it's not clear whether the boss means the PHEV rides on the current chassis or if the new model is going on sale early.
The technology underpinning the new plug-in hybrid has been shrouded in mystery. However, during the five-year plan meeting, FCA claimed the model could earn fuel economy figures around 75 mpge. Chrysler previously tested a 25-unit fleet of them as part of a demonstration test in Auburn Hills, MI, in 2012, but that didn't go so well.
Time to catch up with Jay Leno's Garage, including his Lamborghini Espada restoration
Tue, Dec 23 2014If 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.
