 Here we have a super nice survivor I actually found when I was out garage saling during a town-wide sale out in the country. The son of the original owner was selling due to his fathers death and mother not being able to drive anymore. It has never sat for any long period of time. It was periodically used to keep everything working well. I drove it home and it drove like a dream. The radial tires are excellent, the exhaust is quiet, it drives straight, brakes good, and it actually feels like a Cadillac compared to the older mopar musclecars I have. It's truly a most enjoyable ride. It is all original other then the rear lower quarters under the side trim were touched up. The son stated there was some lower surface rust his father didn't like and had a body shop do the minor repairs. The rest is all original FE5 rallye red. original vinyl top, original seat covers. carpeting, dash. trunk. engine compartment etc. When is the last time you saw a 2 dr 75 coronet, let alone in rallye red, with the original road wheels(on build sheet), and dual chromed remote racing mirrors(on build sheet). Odometer shows 61,000+ miles. The father had duct tape inside door recording his oil changes. Car came with power steering, power disc brakes, a/c, cruise control. road wheels, am radio, vinyl top, and the upgrade interior door panels and seats you get with being a Custom. This car even has the gas miser light alert on the left fender turn signal lamp. The gas crunch was big in mid 70's, so fuel mileage was important. The light will come on when you get on it or downshift indicating over consumption of fuel. It's really a neat thing for back in 75. All the guages work, runs cool, no overheating. All glass original with one rock chip on windshield behind the rear view mirror. Tires are not dry rotted and have NO sidewall cracks. Headliner, door panels excellent. Couple of small rub tears on drivers side front bench where you get in and out alot rubbing that edge. A/c all there buts needs charging. Engine compartment all original other than orange plug wires and one red heater hose. The 2 speed wiper motor works but the nut attaching them to the arms must be off(it looks tough to get to with a/c under dash). Alot of paperwork, including build sheet, dealer invoice showing he traded a 72 charger in, total cost, trade-in allowance, owners manual, etc. It's not a musclecar but I guarantee you will still get alot of attention at the cruises or car shows, just because its a survivor and something different. All I had to do was replace front disc brakes since I've had it.There is no rust out on the frame or under carriage. This is absolutely a drive home car. If its long distance I would bring a good spare tire or 2 to have piece of mind. Really don't know how old tires are. Car is still in original owners name with original 1975 small Illinois title. Ask all questions before bidding.  High bidder must sent $250 to my paypal account within 2 days after auction. Remaining balance due in cash at vehicle pick-up(with-in 7 days of end of auction). USA bidders only.

Auto Mergers and Acquisitions: Suicide or salvation?

Tue, Sep 8 2015

We love the Moses figure. A savior riding in from stage right with the ideas, the smarts, and the scrappiness to put things right. Alan Mullaly. Carroll Shelby. Lee Iacocca. Andrew Carnegie. Steve Jobs. Elon Musk. Bart Simpson. Sergio Marchionne does not likely view himself with Moses-like optics, but the CEO of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles recently gave a remarkable, perhaps prophetic interview with Automotive News about his interest and the inevitability of merging with a potential automotive partner like General Motors. Marchionne has been overtly public about his notion that GM must merge with FCA. For a bit of context, GM sold 9.9 million vehicles in 2014, posting $2.8 billion in net income, while FCA sold 4.75 million units and earned $2.4 billion in net income, painting a very rosy FCA earnings-to-sales picture. But that's not the entire picture. Most people in the auto industry still remember the trainwreck that was the DaimlerChrysler "merger" written in what turned out to be sand in 1998. It proved to be a master class in how not to fuse two companies, two cultures, two continents, and two management teams. Oh, it worked for the two individuals at both helms pre-merger. They got silly rich. And the industry itself was in a misty romance at the time with mergers and acquisitions. BMW bought Rolls-Royce. Volkswagen Group bought Bentley, Bugatti, and Lamborghini, putting all three brands into their rightful place in both products and positioning. No marriages there, so no false pretense. Finally, Nissan and Renault got married in 1999. A successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust. But a successful marriage requires several rare elements in this atmosphere of gas fumes and power lust, the principle part being honesty. Daimler and Chrysler lied to each other. The heads of each unit, the product planners, and finance all presented their then-current and long-range forecasts to each other with less-than-forthright accuracy. Daimler was the far greater equal and no one from the Chrysler side enjoyed that. The cultures were entirely different, too, and little was done to bridge that gap. Which brings me back to the present overtures by Marchionne to GM. "There are varying degrees of hugs," Marchionne stated in the Automotive News piece. "I can hug you nicely, I can hug you tightly, I can hug you like a bear, I can really hug you." Seriously?
