Year:1977
Mileage:40500
Location:
Taneytown, Maryland, United States

The car started out as a special order by the owner of the Chrysler dealership in Berwick, PA. The car was purchased for his wife (I got this information from the son of the original owner who I was able to track down from information in the owners manual). The odometer shows 40k but as it is only a 5 digit odometer true mileage is unknown but my guess is 140k. The person from whom we bought the car did not know much of it's history but he did live about 15 miles from Berwick so I doubt it has traveled much. We bought the car in October 2012 with 11k on the clock. If you do the math you will see we have put almost 29k miles on the car in the last 18 months. The car runs GREAT and rides great. My 14 year old daughter fights for the back seat because she says it's like riding the sofa down road. The car starts easily and has plenty of power (it does have the 440, after all). The original wheels were replaced with rally wheels that were painted to match the body. The following items have been replaced in the past 18 months: Spark Plugs (and other tune-up items) Tires Rear Shocks & Rear helper springs Alternator, Water Pump and related Belts and Hoses New windshield wiper bushings. The power sunroof operates as it should. The drivers window does get stuck going down (a little push and moves fine); it works fine going up (weird, huh?) The "Lean Burn" system was removed before we bought the car and while it will come with the original air cleaner it now has an Edelbrock air cleaner. The fender skirts are solid although there are some minor rust places expected in a car 37 years old. After we had first bought the car, as we were preparing for a trip to Ga, (it has also been to Northern New Jersey, Virginia, Kentucky and all points in between) I took to the car to my mechanic. When he was putting the car on the lift he said "I hear from a lot of people the 'I just bought this car and it's in really good shape.' all the time but This car is in really good shape!" I think the fact that we have put so many miles on it attests to that. Since the pictures were taken we have lost the small hub cap from the right front wheel (on a West Virginia paved cow path) and the trim ring from the left rear wheel. Replacements are available I just never got around to buying them. Items not working: The reset for the trip meter. The A/C does not blow cold; I have been told the expansion valve needs to be replaced. There is an expansion valve in the truck as well as an R-12 to R-134 conversion kit. I just enjoy having the sunroof and windows open so I have not had it fixed. The cruise does not work but it did when I bought the car. The diaphragm in the Cruise has a hole. From what I was able to determine the same cruise unit was used until 1984 so there should be replacements available. The same is true for the parking brake release. The parking brake is supposed to release as soon as put the car in drive. It did when we bought it but that no longer works either. I could hear the vacuum coming from it so it too has a leak in the diaphragm. I removed the vacuum hose to stop the hissing. You can still release the brake by foot. The passenger side power seat does not work but the drivers seat works in all directions. The only reason we are selling is due to a change in circumstances which requires something a little more fuel efficient. Our original intention was not to use this as a daily driver (which it has become) but as fun weekend ride. We would much rather see the car go to someone who can give the attention it richly deserves. On Apr-30-14 at 11:59:58 PDT, seller added the following information: I forgot to mention the car was appraised in December 2012 by Accurate Auto Appraisers, 370 Johnsville Rd., Blairsden, CA for $5500. A copy of the appraisal will accompany the vehicle. |

Huge Canadian sinkhole destroys four-lane road, swallows car
Fri, Jun 10 2016A major thoroughfare in the Canadian capital city of Ottawa was closed after a huge sinkhole opened beneath it. According to the CBC, the sinkhole appeared around mid-morning on Wednesday on Rideau Street near its intersection with Sussex Drive. The sinkhole, which initially formed over an unstable vein of sand, silt, and fractured rock, quickly spread across all four lanes of Rideau Street. A high-pressure natural gas line and a water main were shattered by the road collapse, filling the deep hole with water, gas, and fumes and forcing the evacuation of numerous surrounding buildings. All traffic save for buses and taxis had already been banned from the area due to excavation for a light rail station, but a Chrysler minivan parked along Rideau street fell into the hole as it expanded. Construction workers working in the light rail site evacuated safely once the road began collapsing, and no injuries were reported. Ottawa mayor Jim Watson told The Guardian that there was no sure way to tell how long repairs to Rideau Street would take. "It's a significant sinkhole in the downtown core. It has a major impact on our largest retail shopping center, one of our major hotels as well as one of the busiest intersections and bus routes." This is the second sinkhole to appear in downtown Ottawa in recent years. In 2014, a nearly thirty-foot wide sinkhole caused by excavation for the light rail system opened just a few blocks away from Rideau and Sussex. Watson stated that it is too soon to say whether or not Wednesday's sink hole was related to light rail construction. "We can't confirm whether the tunnel had any impact on the sinkhole or whether it was a water main break or whether it was a leak of some type that destabilized the soil." Watson went on to say that he hoped that city officials would be able to pinpoint the exact cause of the collapse soon.

Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger
Tue, Dec 17 2019MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.
