Omaha, Nebraska, United States

READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY IT'S A VERY COOL STORY....much like a "barn find" but stored in a garage since 1991.
Bought new at Baxter Chrysler-Plymouth in Omaha, Nebraska in the fall of 1978, the Chrysler was carefully driven until the purchase of the "new car" in 1991, an Olds 98. But the beloved Chrysler wasn't traded it was parked in the elderly couple's single car garage and covered up with blankets...LOTS of blankets!!! Fast forward the spring of 2014. Mr. M**** passed away leaving the beloved and beautiful Cordoba still covered under all those blankets. This is where I came in, purchasing the car from the estate. A new battery and some fresh gas the car fired right up!! Backed it from the garage and YES the "new car" '91 Olds right there in the driveway too!! The Olds NEVER saw the garage in 23 years there was only room for one...the beloved Cordoba......... The elderly couple kept EVERY single piece of documentation. Including the factory window sticker, the original bill of sale showing a 1966 "Pontiac 2-door" being traded in on the Chrysler. Even service coupons and promotions from Baxter's Chrysler were kept neatly with ALL the other paperwork. And the warranty booklet and owners manual and alot more!! All of these items AND a new Nebraska title stating ACTUAL MILES on the face!! Not an exempt title..it's an ACTUAL mile title!! The car is in MINT condition. NEVER rusted, damaged or repainted. The car you see in the pictures has not been detailed, just lightly cleaned. The ONLY cosmetic issues are as follows: A few and I mean very few stone chips on the nose of the car near the headlights. On the door panels, the plastic is discolored for some reason. My guess is that there was a cleaner used that didn't agree with it causing this sometime in the past. The car was undercoated AND rust proofed when new. The interior is in otherwise excellent condition. No rips or tears, perfect glass, carpet AND headliner. WHAT A TIME CAPSULE!! Mechanically it starts instantly and runs smoothly EVEN with the Lean Burn System still functioning. The 360 V8 2-barrell doesn't miss a beat. The transmission shifts as it should nice and smooth. The car has power steering and power brakes that stop the car nice and smooth. Tilt wheel and cruise control that works perfectly. Even a power driver's seat!! Oddly, the car was a radio delete but a $79. AM radio was added by the dealer. The car was ordered with a Sure-grip rear end but no remote or "sport" mirror was ordered. The factory AC blows ICE COLD. The tires look good but it's unknown how old they are. To sum it up...this is one of those "ONCE IN A LIFE TIME" cars that just don't come along all that often. The reserve is a fair one but I'm NOT giving the car away. So...bid with confidence and bid to own it!! If you have ANY questions about the car give me a call anytime for an HONEST discussion about the car. I just want to stress what a fantastic find this car really is!! I'm Tom and my number is 402-650-3849 OK...the fine print. The winning bidder to send a $1000. non-refundable deposit via Paypal 48 hours end of auction. The balance to be paid within 7 days with certified bank checks, bank to bank wire transfer, or cash when you pick the car up. The car is safe and sound in a climate controlled building and can stay there until it's picked up. Also, if you choose to drive it home I'd be happy to pick you up at the airport. I can also suggest a local transporter that I've personally used for years. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility and expense. READ MY AD CAREFULLY and call with any questions Thanks Tom |

Fiat and UAW back at negotiating table over Chrysler stake
Mon, 23 Dec 2013We knew there'd be no Chrysler IPO before the end of this year, but Fiat is determined to get the best run going into 2014 and is back at the poker table with the UAW. The delay was said to be Chrysler's desire to clean up a tax issue with the IRS; turns out that also bought the carmaker time to try and close a deal for the UAW's 48.5-percent stake in the company before the IPO happens.
Whereas the price Chrysler was willing to pay was once more than $1 billion under the UAW's asking price, the gap has closed to just $800 million of late. A recent valuation of the company at $10 billion - a valuation the UAW has disputed - means Fiat would be looking to pay about $4.2 billion instead of the $5 billion that the UAW seeks. But the UAW needs to hold out for the highest amount it can get because its pension obligations through the Voluntary Employee Benefit Association (VEBA) are $3.1 billion greater than the VEBA's assets, which include the Chrysler stake.
There's a clause in the agreement that Fiat can buy the VEBA shares for $6 billion, but Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne has said that the UAW "should buy a ticket for the lottery" if they even want $5 billion. The UAW, though, has more time to wait; it's Fiat that wants access to Chrysler's $11.9-billion war chest and that would like to avoid the risk of paying the full $6 billion for the UAW share if the float really takes off. With other valuations of Chrysler as high as $19 billion, a hot IPO could make that $6 billion look like a bargain.
Chrysler to veer away from 'Imported From Detroit' message?
Wed, 17 Apr 2013Claim some ground, control that ground and then expand. Chrysler, wandering the Earth like Kane from Kung-Fu when it came to brand message after the bailouts, pulled off the first two feats in only 120 seconds when its "Imported from Detroit" commercial aired during the 2011 Super Bowl. Two years later and now that the brand has a center in the minds of consumers, the Chrysler Group's head of marketing, Olivier Francois, says it's time to move away from the "Detroit" component of that slogan and express the "Imported" aspect.
It is, more precisely, about positioning Chrysler as genuine competition for imports and not Ford or General Motors, but rather Toyota on quality or Audi on technology. A report in Forbes said that Francois not only "wants to attract import owners to Chrysler vehicles by focusing on quality, technology, fuel economy and style," but to "take back the lead in these four things." That is the new understanding he wants people to infer from the idea of Detroit - that the nation's car capital isn't just a patriotic rallying point but a lively competitor for established giants.
Chrysler has been running ads that no longer refer to Detroit, and recent efforts have linked a specific character to each brand - like Jenny with Jeep and Steven with the Chrysler 300 - to create brand separation. Francois hasn't detailed what he plans to do to bolster Chrysler's upscale pretensions, but his efforts would be helped by CEO Sergio Marchionne loosing the pursestrings and the arrival of strong new product.
