1966 Imperial Crown Coupe By Chrysler 80,000 Mi Original Survivor Drives Perfect on 2040-cars
Wichita, Kansas, United States
|
With great reluctance, I am forced to part with my 1966 Imperial Crown Coupe. This is a dream car of mine because my grandfather owned one and I always admired the Virgil Exner design, especially the 1966. This was the first year of the 440 350 horsepower engine and the last year of the body on frame design and the iconic front end. I purchased this car from a dealer who was consigning it for the family of the original owner. It had sat for several years garaged, and was in very nice preserved original condition. They went through the normal things you would do when bringing a car out of mothballs such as going through the fluids, belts, brakes, shocks new tires, and so on. I have replaced the starter and relay, thoroughly cleaned the carb, and have done nothing but enjoy driving this car for the last 8 months and 1,000 miles. This car is truly a pleasure to drive, feels like new. Will cruise at 75 on the highway easily, and will never get confused with a Prius. The exterior is mostly original paint; I believe the roof and one of the rear quarters has been painted before, the rest original. The paint does have a few blemishes and thin spots which I have photographed. Excellent body. Very nice Chrome. The interior is in fantastic shape. Everything works, including the power seats, windows, climate control, and original radio. This car will not disappoint.
I paid $8500 for this car, not including my shipping costs and maintenance. I thought at the time this was a great price for such a nice driving, well preserved car. Unfortunately things have slowed down enough at my business that I am forced to make some hard decisions, and this was the hardest one yet. I had truly planned on keeping this car forever, but the money would certainly help right now. While I have left an "offer" option, I am not desperate by any means. If we are a few hundred away from making a deal I am happy to accommodate. I am also very happy to accommodate for personal inspections, and help with any kind of shipping arrangement you would need to make. Please fire away with any questions. Thanks. |

Hurricane Sandy cost automakers 15,000 vehicles, may have ruined up to 200k
Wed, 07 Nov 2012Hurricane Sandy was the largest Atlantic storm in US history, and its total economic impact is just now coming into view. According to Automotive News, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda are set to scrap around 15,000 new vehicles ruined by the storm. Nissan alone accounts for about 40 percent of those, with 6,000 Nissan and Infiniti models deeded "un-saleable" due to damage. The company saw 56 dealerships shuttered due to the storm, but 51 of those have since reopened.
Toyota, meanwhile, had some 4,000 vehicles at its Newark port facility, and of those, 3,000 may be scrapped. An additional 825 were dealer inventory when they were ruined. Honda and Acura dealers are reportedly sending 3,440 vehicles to the salvage yard. By comparison, Chrysler weathered the storm fairly well with 825 units destroyed, while Hyundai suffered only 400 lost units and Kia scrapped around 200.
As you may recall, Fisker also suffered some losses, and Automotive News reports the manufacturer saw 320 Karma models damaged beyond repair. Ford and General Motors have yet to come up with estimates, and no automaker has commented on the full cost of replacing the vehicles.
NHTSA releases updated Takata airbag recalled cars list, but it still has errors
Wed, 22 Oct 2014
Unfortunately, the government's list still contains errors.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued an updated list of vehicle models that it's urging owners to repair under the mushrooming Takata airbag inflator recall. The latest version adds vehicles from new automakers like Subaru and Ford that are missing from the original announcement, and it also removes erroneous entries from General Motors, leaving only the 2005 Saab 9-2X (a reskinned Subaru WRX), and the 2003-2005 Pontiac Vibe, a joint project with Toyota.
Marchionne on Alfa's US return, Dodge Dart's powertrain weakness and minivan plans
Fri, 18 Jan 2013As a reporter covering an auto show, the one opportunity you never want to miss is going to the Sergio Marchionne press briefing.
"This undertaking to bring Alfa back is a one-shot deal... We are not going to do this twice."
There just aren't that many real characters left in the auto industry. Marchionne, who sits atop both Chrysler and Fiat, is not only one of the smartest execs in the business, but also the most frank. Herein, a sample of the quotable always-sweatered executive:
