Extremely rare 1961 Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe. Car is originally from California and has a very nice body. There is some minor surface rust and some rust in the floors and trunk that is substantial. The frame is good and the body is good except for the bottom of the front passenger side fender is rusted at the bottom and there is rust through at the very bottom of the passenger side rear quarter panel. I don't believe any of the panels need replacing, just small patches. Still, it's a 52 year old car so look at the pictures and use your own judgment. The car was nearly complete when I got it and I tracked down two additional tail lights because one was broken and a replacement drivers side door handle because it was broken as well. I believe the ONLY part you need to chase is a new passenger side door window glass. I'm already looking for one. This car is an oustanding builder for an amazing custom hot rod project. The huge fins, floating headlights and tail lights, and the cool dash and steering wheel are all crazy cool right from the factory. There are few of these cars left and finding one complete and with a good body is no small achievement.

The interior is fairly thrashed but complete with all door panels and seats. The front seat is power as are the windows.. The dash is decent with only two small cracks. All glass is good except for the passenger side door window glass. This is good news because windshields and rear windows sell for $500-1000 each apparently. You won't need them for this car. The original 413 is disassembled and in boxes. It will not run. The car rolls and steers and the tires hold air. I will gladly work with international bidders as most finned cars I sell tend to go to Australia or Sweden anyway. Just don't waste our time with fake Nigerian money orders and stupid stuff like that.

I'm only listing this car one time because I have no real desire to sell it but I'm working on a giant flying saucer that is getting completely out of hand so if I can fund the next stage of that, great. If not, I'll keep making other money to fund it. So if you want this car, act now because it won't be available again. .

THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY TO BUY A CAR. ONE THAT IS COMPLETE, ARROW STRAIGHT AND HAS NEVER BEEN RESTORED OR HIDING THINGS. WHEN YOU LOOK AT THIS CAR, YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU HAVE AND EVERYTHING IS THERE.

Bob Dylan to star in Chrysler Super Bowl spot [w/videos]

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Billboard reports that Bob Dylan will be working with Chrysler again, this time starring in a Super Bowl ad expected to showcase the company's new 200 sedan. The rock icon first tied up with the Chrysler Group late last year when a commercial for the new 2014 Jeep Cherokee used Dylan's unreleased cover of Blind Willie Johnson's "Motherless Children" for its soundtrack.
The last big-game commercial for the 200 used Eminem in 2011 to introduce us to the outgoing 200 and the tagline-turned-mini-movement, "Imported from Detroit." Since then, Clint Eastwood, Berry Gordy, Jr., and America's farmers have taken turns impressing us with Chrysler Group's wares. It isn't yet known what song will be used for the spot. Speaking of the coming ad, company CEO Sergio Marchionne said, "Someone made the comment to me that I had the right commercial in 2011 and the wrong car. I think we now have hopefully the right commercial and the right car."
It's not Dylan's first outing with a carmaker, having starred in a spot to promote the Cadillac Escalade in 2007. Nor will it be the only Dylan music we get during the Super Bowl, the singer having licensed a track that's used in a one-minute commercial for Chobani Greek yogurt.

Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.

This 1958 Chrysler Imperial Ultra 7 Pointer 1 is Japan's Batmobile

Sun, 02 Mar 2014

It might be sacrilegious to admit among some auto enthusiasts, but there's more to driving than performance and speed. Sometimes it can be a matter of love, as it is for Yasushi Shiroi, who has spent the last 21 years building a faithful replica of a car from a '60s Japanese sci-fi show.
Shiroi's car is the star of the latest video from The Aficionauto and it's truly a labor of love. This machine, which is sort of like a Japanese Batmobile, is based on a 1958 Chrysler Imperial and is designed to recreate a car called the Pointer 1 from the series Ultra 7. The latter was apparently hugely popular when it ran in Japan in 1967 and 1968, and told the story a seven-member team that fought off aliens attacking Earth. While the car in the series never actually ran, Shiroi wanted one that would.
The Pointer 1 has been in constant development since Shiroi has owned it. All of the body modifications have been done in steel, but mechanically, it remains something of a mess. This replica might be slow - and to many people, ugly - but it has brought its owner about as much happiness as a car can, and that's something worth celebrating. Scroll down to check it out.
