A VAGRANT WAS LIVING IN THE CAR WHEN I RETRIEVED IF FOR MY UNCLE IN 2010. OVER THE 25 YEARS, KIDS BROKE THE DRIVERS WIND WING AND GOT IN AND DID SOME GRAFFITI WORK, RUINED THE FRONT SEAT (ANY UPHOLSTERY SHOP CAN FIX THIS) , AND THE HEADLINER (NEW KIT ON EBAY RIGHT NOW FOR $250) AND BROKE OFF THE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE, STOLE THE 8-TRACK PLAYER AND THE SPEAKERS. AMAZINGLY, THEY DID NOT RUIN ANY PART OF THE DASHBOARD (EXCEPT THEY TOOK THE HEADLIGHT DIMMER SONSOR)- IT IS INTACT (THANK GOODNESS!) BUT THEY DID TAKE THE STEERING WHEEL EMBLEM (ONE ON EBAY RIGHT NOW) . THEY TORE OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE OUTSIDE REMOTE MIRROR (I JUST BOUGHT ONE FOR IT), STOLE THE HUBCAPS (I HAVE 6), TORE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR (ONE ON EBAY RIGHT NOW), TOOK THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR (PAIR ON EBAY RIGHT NOW) AND THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF.

SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SO I BYPASSED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO START THE CAR IN ORDER FOR YOU TO TEST DRIVE IT, BUT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO TAKE APART THE CONNECTIONS AND CLEAN THE CONTACTS AND RE-HOOK UP EVERYTHING. THIS IS COMMON TO THIS CAR AND IS EASILY CURED. ONCE THE JUICE GETS BACK INTO THE CAB EVERYTHING WORKS AND THE A/C WILL HAVE TO BE CHARGED. ALSO,THE REAR WINDOW WONT ROLLUP BUT I CAN HEAR CLICKING SO THE MOTOR I BELIEVE IS FINE BUT THE TRACK IS FROZEN FOR SOME REASON. ALL OF THE GLASS IS OEM AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AS IS THE IMPORTANT TRIM WHICH IS ALL THERE - NOTHING MISSING- THE EASY STUFF LIKE THE REAR FENDER EMBELMS ARE SHOT BUT ARE AVAILABLE. THE CAR RUNS GREAT, SHIFTS GREAT DRIVES GREAT AND THE BRAKES WILL THROW YOU THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD IF YOU DON'T WATCH IT - NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITH A LITTLE EFFORT, ELBOW GREASE AND SOME LOVIN' THIS CAN BE AN EXCELLENT CRUISER, SURF WAGON OR PUSH CAR FOR YOUR ANTIQUE FUEL ALTERED DRAGSTER LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE FOR MINE BUT I OPTED FOR A '29 MODEL "A" ROADSTER PICKUP, INSTEAD.

2015 Chrysler 200 snags EPA ratings of 18 mpg city and 29 highway
Tue, 25 Mar 2014While Chrysler hasn't officially announced fuel economy figures for its new 200 sedan, the information for one model has just leaked out thanks to the US Department of Energy's FuelEconomy.gov website. It certified the 200 with the 295-horsepower and 262-pound-feet 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive as getting 18-miles-per-gallon city, 29-mpg highway and 22-mpg combined.
Last year's front-wheel drive 200 with a less-powerful version of the Pentastar was rated at 19-mpg city, 29-mpg highway and 22-mpg combined. That means that buyers are getting more power and all-wheel drive traction at almost no loss in economy. However, compared to current, all-wheel drive sedan competitors, the Chrysler comes in the middle. The Ford Fusion with all-wheel drive with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder has 240 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque is somewhat down on power but bests it in economy at 22-mpg city, 31-mpg highway and 25-mpg combined. The current Subaru Legacy 3.6R loses in both metrics with 256 hp and 247 lb-ft and a rating of 18-mpg city, 25-mpg highway and 20-mpg combined. However, Subaru claims the next generation with the same engine will boast 20-mpg city, 28-mpg highway and 23-mpg combined. But these numbers are just estimates from the automaker at the moment, and they haven't yet been certified by the EPA yet.
The numbers for the four-cylinder and front-wheel drive 200 drivetrains are not yet available, but Chrysler has been promising the sedan gets an estimated 35-mpg highway with the 184-hp and 173-lb-ft Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. We won't know for sure until it's certified, but we'll keep you posted.
How fracking is causing Chrysler minivans to sit on Detroit's riverfront
Fri, 25 Apr 2014It's fascinating the way that one change to a complex system can have all sorts of unintended consequences. For instance, there are hundreds of new Chrysler Town and County and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans built in Windsor, Ontario, sitting in lots on the Detroit waterfront because of the energy boom in the Bakken oil field in the northern US and parts of Canada.
The huge amount of crude oil coming from these sites mostly use freight trains for transport, and that supply boom has resulted in a shortage of railcars to carry other goods. According to The Windsor Star, North American crude oil transport by train has gone from 9,500 carloads in 2008 to 434,032 carloads in 2013. Making matters worse, some North American rail infrastructure is still damaged because of this year's harsh winter, and that's slowing things down even further.
Chrysler admits to The Star that it has had some delivery delays due to the freight train shortage. In the meantime, it's using more trucks to deliver its vehicles. Trucking is a far less economical solution, partially because a train can carry so many more units at one time, but alternatives are slim. The Windsor plant alone has a deal for 33 trucks to distribute the minivans around Canada and the Midwestern US.
Honda may recall up to 1M vehicles for airbag issue, following Toyota's lead
Mon, 16 Jun 2014It seems Toyota won't be the only one recalling the faulty Takata airbag inflators for long. Honda insiders in Japan claim that the company is getting close to announcing its own worldwide campaign that would begin before the end of June.
Unnamed sources close to Honda in Japan tell Automotive News that the company is pursuing an internal investigation into possibly affected models and is working with Takata to gather more information. They claim that it could involve even more than the 1.14 million cars worldwide that the automaker covered under the first recall for the problem in April 2013, including 561,000 vehicles in the US.
Toyota jumpstarted this process last week when it recalled over 2 million cars worldwide, including 844,277 in the US. Soon after, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began a preliminary evaluation into the issue following six reported incidents, and started assembling data about potentially affected models from Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, Chrysler. NHTSA also began investigating Takata itself.
