 A TRUE time capsule, a survivor with just over 40,000 actual miles.  Recently purchased from an estate this is probably the nicest original 36 year old car you'll find...anywhere!!  LOOK CLOSE AT THE PICTURES AND REMEMBER THIS CAR HAS HAD ABSOLUTELY NO RESTORATION...EVER!!  It wears it's original paint, interior and drive train.  The spare tire was installed by Chrysler Corporation in 1978 and it's NEVER been on the ground!!  And of course never any rust...ever!!
Mechanically the car runs and drives great!! I just drove the car 125 miles on the interstate at 75 mph.  The cruise works perfectly and it's just a great driving and running car.  For those of us my age, we remember how cra**y Chrysler's Lean Burn System cars ran. They didn't work very well when they were new.  Well...this one is the exception to the Lean Burn rule!!  It starts right up, no chugging and choking.  And it doesn't "stumble" as you accelerate. It's impressive how it runs. Quiet and smooth. The four barrel carb kicks right down and has decent power for such a big car. The factory AC is ice cold still on R12 refrigerant. Brakes and shocks work as they should. The tires are excellent.

Options..there are many:  400 4-barrel, power steering, brakes and power driver seat.  Cruise control and tilt steering with telescoping wheel.  Cornering lights, fender skirts, am-fm radio.  Front split bench seat with dual arm rests. Light package. Even rare for the time "delay" windshield wipers too!!

Cosmetically there are just a very few flaws. As seen in the pics a few scratches, minor road rash very low behind the rear wheels. The vinyl top has a small area that has "curled" as you can see. The dash pad is perfect, the glas is original and very nice.  The headliner is drooping. It's being sold this way but there's a possibility I can have it replaced by auction ends..WATCH FOR UPDATES regarding I will post.

Summing it up:  This car is ready for summer cruise nights and local car shows.  It's a great classic piece of American iron at it's best from the company that was called Chrysler Corporation!!  The reserve is low...very low to enable anyone that wants a nice LOW MILEAGE classic car to own it.
I NEED TO PUT THE CAP BUTTON ON...DO NOT BID ON THIS CAR UNLESS YOU HAVE THE MEANS AND INTENTIONS TO BUY IT!!  Have your financial affairs in order and permission from your spouse, partner or signifigant other PRIOR to bidding.  ASK QUESTIONS BEFORE BIDDING. My phone is with me 24/7 and I'll answer your questions honestly and openly. Fly in drive the car home in total comfort, I can pick you up at the airport. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. The car is stored in a secure building.
Winning bidder to send a $500 non-refundable deposit via Paypal 48 hours end of auction. Balance to be paid within 7-days via bank to bank wire transfer, certified bank funds or cash when picked up.

Remember...call me anytime with any questions  Tom  402-650-3849

FCA CEO Mike Manley will run Americas for Stellantis after PSA merger

Sun, Dec 20 2020

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley will run operations in the Americas when his company merges with FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot early next year. FCA Chairman John Elkann announced ManleyÂ’s new post on Friday in a letter to employees. ManleyÂ’s role in the merged company had been a mystery. PSA CEO Carlos Tavares will run the overall company, to be named Stellantis. Shareholders of both companies will vote on the merger Jan. 4 to seal the deal creating the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker. The merger is expected to be completed by the end of March. PSA will get six seats on the new companyÂ’s 11-member board, which will be chaired by Elkann. The Americas, especially the U.S., are key to the new companyÂ’s success. Fiat ChryslerÂ’s Jeep and Ram brands are highly profitable, and Tavares has long wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S. Manley has been the Italian-American automakerÂ’s CEO for 2 1/2 years, taking over when Sergio Marchionne died in 2018. Stellantis will have the capacity to produce 8.7 million cars a year, just behind Volkswagen, the Renault-Nissan alliance and Toyota.

What's in a trademark? Sometimes, the next iconic car name

Thu, 07 Aug 2014



The United States Patent and Trademark Office is a treasure trove for auto enthusiasts, especially those who double as conspiracy theorists.
Why has Toyota applied to trademark "Supra," the name of one of its legendary sports cars, even though it hasn't sold one in the United States in 16 years? Why would General Motors continue to register "Chevelle" long after one of the most famous American muscle cars hit the end of the road? And what could Chrysler possibly do with the rights to "313," the area code for Detroit?

Conan releases extended cut of Chrysler's Super Bowl ad

Tue, 04 Feb 2014

Chrysler's latest Super Bowl ad follows in the footsteps of its classic Imported From Detroit spot starring rapper Eminem and Half-Time in America ad starring Clint Eastwood. Featuring Bob Dylan's gravely voice asking, "Is there anything more American... than America?" the spot has been somewhat controversial, thanks to a few lines informing viewers that Germany can brew beer, Switzerland can make watches and Asia can assemble phones. The US, though, will build your car, Dylan tells us. When the ad aired, Shinola-wearing Detroiters simultaneously spit out their Atwater beer over the perceived slight.
Naturally, that controversy has spawned more than a few parodies, one of which comes from Conan O'Brien. Coco expands on the list of things that aren't made in the US, like French water, Danish cheese and Japanese animated, um, adult films. Beyond those examples, there are a number of other things that should be left to countries that aren't the United States. It's a chuckle-worthy parody, so scroll down and have a look, and compare it to the original Super Bowl ad below that.
