This car runs, shifts and drives wonderfully (less

than 200 miles on rebuilt engine) and looks great

from a distance but (in the spirit of honesty and

"full disclosure") less so when you get close:

it has a number of tiny dents and dings (really

could use new paint but as a driver it's just fine).

and there are a couple of interior cigarette burns

(I'm told the gentleman who owned it previously

was the original owner, a mechanic who was rather

careless with his belongings especially when he had

beer in his belly). Other little issues include a radio

antenna doesn't go up and down automatically as it's

supposed to (aftermarket AM/FM radio/casette player

works fine), headlight doors are stuck open, seat-motors

not fully operational (but can be partially adjusted; I'm

6'1" and totally comfortable in the driver's seat), all the

necessary instrument panel displays light up (but some don't

switch to the alternative settings, i. e. from gallons to litres,

etc). I was told by the gentleman who handled the sale that

the car had a little less than 50,000 miles on when it was

converted from fuel injection to carburation at which point

the ODO's are zeroed-out; it's showing 80000 miles now.

But ... in the final analysis this car IS a very rare Sinatra edition,

of which Barrett-Jackson has said there are less than 35 left licensed

in the U. S. thus this model is not only rare it's a true classic ... so if

you love these cars and are good w/your hands this car will help you

pass many enjoyable hours puttering and fixing and/or many more great hours

behind the wheel driving it as is. One more thing, with the engine rebuild it has

smogged twice here in California (which means it'll smog anywhere it has to).

So I'm leaving it to you Imperial afficionados to determine the

car's value by offering it at true No Reserve, pehraps one of the

last chances ever to own a Sinatra this decent for a great price.

Granted this car may not be the handsomest guy in the class but

he sure can run!

Car is being sold as-is-where-is. Buyer is responsible for

shipping from San Diego to your location. $500 deposit

payable to ebay w/in 24 hours of completing purchase,

balance due within 48 hours after that.

Fiat talking with banks about buying rest of Chrysler

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

All that stands in the way of Fiat's total ownership of Chrysler is a 41.5-percent stake currently held by the United Auto Workers healthcare trust, but according to SFGate.com, Sergio Marchionne is currently trying to raise the capital to complete the acquisition. The article says that a deal could be completed in as soon as 12 months, and the estimate for the remaining stake could cost Fiat SpA around $2.98 billion.
With a goal of completing the deal by the end of 2014, Marchionne is said to be in talks with various banks to help finance some of the deal. According to the report, the banks have indicated a need for a stronger balance sheet, controlled debt and reserve cash.
Two things that don't seem to be on the table to get the deal completed include issuing new shares to raise the capital or selling a stake in Ferrari. Fiat started with a 20 percent share of Chrysler in June 2009, and it raised its stake up to 58.5 percent in January 2012.

Ferrari families have 'agreement' to prevent takeover

Thu, Oct 22 2015

With its initial public offering already a massive success, Ferrari is now officially a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange. While anyone can buy those shares, don't expect investors to take control away from some of the top owners of the Prancing Horse anytime soon. To maintain their power, Enzo Ferrari's son, Piero, and Exor chairman John Elkann will sign a deal guaranteeing themselves nearly half of the automaker's voting rights, Bloomberg reports. As part of this arrangement, shareholders that agree to hang onto Ferrari stock for at least three years would receive additional voting rights in the company, and that would give Piero and Elkann a combined 48.7 percent of the automaker by banding together. While not quite complete control, the move should be enough to prevent a takeover of the business. "We have an agreement among the families to protect our interests in Ferrari," Piero said to Bloomberg. This agreement won't really become a concern until next year because only 10 percent of Ferrari will be traded for now. FCA will distribute another 80 percent to its shareholders in early 2016, and Elkann's Exor will be getting the largest portion of the Prancing Horse in the spin-off. Meanwhile, Piero holds the remaining 10 percent but has absolutely no intention to sell his stake in his father's business. The newly public Ferrari will push to grow volume with a goal of moving 9,000 vehicles annually by 2019. To reach that 30-percent boost, expect to see a new model every year, and some of them might use a new, modular platform that's reportedly under development. Related Video:

Say goodbye to the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne outlined an update to the company's five-year business plan Wednesday, and among the changes, the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 sedans will soon be phased out. The company's presentation to investors states that the "market shift from cars to trucks and UVs [utility vehicles is] now seen as permanent shift in demand," and FCA wants to respond as quickly as possible. Killing the 200 and Dart will allow FCA to build more Jeep and Ram models at the Sterling Heights, MI, and Belvidere, IL, plants where the sedans were produced. We already knew FCA was planning to shift 200 and Dart production to Mexico, to free up the Sterling Heights facility for Ram 1500 production, and the Belivdere site for Jeep Cherokee output. The Cherokee will move from its current home in Toledo, OH, to allow for increased Wrangler production. It's no shock that FCA wants to shift its focus to crossovers and trucks. In December 2015, for example, combined sales of the Dodge Dart and Chrysler 200 were 15,310. The Jeep Cherokee, which uses the same platform as the Dart and 200, outsold both models combined, with 24,049 sales. Both the Dart and 200 had troubles from the beginning. Marchionne recently blamed designers for the 200 not receiving a Consumer Reports 'recommended' rating, and the Dart was one of the lowest-scoring cars in a CR reliability study.
