This is a second owner, looks like almost new, SoCal carA real head-turner!

Genuine 86,081 miles

This is an all-original car with an exceptional body and interior for its year.


I bought her for my wife, who loved driving around with the top down, but only drives around 3,000 miles per year - she has been replaced by a Thunderbird.(the car, not my wife).
This gorgeous car needs a home with somebody who is prepared to invest a little time or money to bring her back to a fully operational state.

With her front wheel drive and fuel injected turbo engine, she is a lot of fun to drive, a road-hugging, comfortable, stylish head-turner.  Put your foot down and hear and feel the turbo kick in! With top down, windows up, there is no draft at all at freeway speeds, and she returns a relatively economical 27mpg town/freeway

Her silver paint, all-gray leather interior and silver tonneau cover show little sign of wear. The beautiful body-hugging multi-way powered leather seats are more comfortable than any other car I have driven.  If they would fit, I would have put them in my Thunderbird!  Each front seat does show a little evidence of wear and tear with a tiny repairable flaw.

She has been garaged all of her life until 2010, parked off-street under a custom-built cover and used only occasionally since.the arrival of the Thunderbird.

Custom built car cover included

New vinyl convertible top
Transmission rebuilt 1,000 miles ago


Registered PNO with DMV


Runs, but needs some mechanical work:
Blown head gasket. 
Brake seals need replacing. 
Heater & a/c not working.

We are sad to see her go, and have been reluctant to part with her, but she deserves to be cared for, driven regularly and enjoyed by an enthusiastic owner who appreciates her timeless style.

This forgotten Chrysler was its bid for Humvee contract

Wed, 27 Aug 2014

Today, the Humvee might be as associated with the dead automotive brand from General Motors as it is with the hard-working truck that has long served as one of the backbone vehicles of America's military. But Autoline host John McElroy is showing off a practically unknown part of the model's story by digging out some old photos from his personal archive.
The High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle project, better known today as the Humvee, can be traced back to a US Department of Defense request for bids to build a new military truck. According to McElroy, he was invited to the Chrysler proving grounds in 1981 to check out the bid from the brand's defense division. The company's concept was that it might be able to build an inexpensive, capable vehicle by using off-the-shelf parts.
The angular body panels gave the truck a look almost like a modern, stealth vehicle. However, the flat look was actually just to make the tooling as cheap as possible to produce. Still, this Chrysler looked surprisingly futuristic for the early '80s. It's actually not too far away from the famous Lamborghini LM002, itself intended as a possible military-spec machine.

Chrysler Pacifica adds sixth trim level: Touring Plus

Thu, Apr 27 2017

While some of us might not want to admit our fondness for the homely minivan, there's something about the Chrysler Pacifica that gets unlikely drivers giving it the up-and-down on the sly (speaking from experience, here). A year into its life, the kinda-cool people hauler is getting a sixth trim level, called Touring Plus, that falls about in the middle of the lineup. Slotting in above the Touring trim ($32,090), the $33,455 Touring Plus offers a number of visual and convenience upgrades, but retains the cloth seats (for leather, you'll still have to move up to the Touring L level, at $36,090). On the outside, it gets the mesh lower fascia and foglights shared with the higher trim levels, plus projector headlights and LED taillights. For comfort and convenience, it offers three-zone climate control, power liftgate, a universal garage door opener, and second- and third-row sunshades to give your kids the limo treatment. As an added bonus for Touring Plus customers who opt for the 18-inch wheels and the 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment center, Chrysler will throw in the single overhead DVD player for free. If you were waiting for the "just right" Pacifica to become available, and this higher-content, cloth-seat version suits you just right, there's no need to wait. The Pacifica Touring Plus is available now. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings.

LG Chem's batteries for the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid minivan will be the Korean company's first time engineering and manufacturing a complete battery pack in Michigan for a volume production North American plug-in hybrid. The packs include lithium-ion cells, electronics and control units. The batteries were engineered at LG Chem's Troy, Michigan facility, and will be built at the company's Holland, Michigan plant. "Our experience with entire battery packs, including cell design and manufacturing capability, as well as our expertise in vehicle integration, makes us the ideal battery supplier for the Pacifica Hybrid," says LGCPI CEO Denise Gray. "We believe our technical strengths, engineering and manufacturing expertise, position us as a leading battery and control system provider for electric vehicles today and in the future."

The van, which is suited to family, taxi or city delivery use, can run on CNG or bio-natural gas in addition to gasoline. It also features a six-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission – a first in its class. The multiple high-pressure tanks for compressed gas are located under the floor, preserving all the Caddy's precious cargo space. A TGI version of the Caddy Alltrack will also be available, initially with a six-speed manual transmission, with the DSG option arriving in the middle of 2016.
