This is a second owner, looks like almost new, SoCal carA real head-turner!

Genuine 86,081 miles

This is an all-original car with an exceptional body and interior for its year.


I bought her for my wife, who loved driving around with the top down, but only drives around 3,000 miles per year - she has been replaced by a Thunderbird.(the car, not my wife).
This gorgeous car needs a home with somebody who is prepared to invest a little time or money to bring her back to a fully operational state.

With her front wheel drive and fuel injected turbo engine, she is a lot of fun to drive, a road-hugging, comfortable, stylish head-turner.  Put your foot down and hear and feel the turbo kick in! With top down, windows up, there is no draft at all at freeway speeds, and she returns a relatively economical 27mpg town/freeway

Her silver paint, all-gray leather interior and silver tonneau cover show little sign of wear. The beautiful body-hugging multi-way powered leather seats are more comfortable than any other car I have driven.  If they would fit, I would have put them in my Thunderbird!  Each front seat does show a little evidence of wear and tear with a tiny repairable flaw.

She has been garaged all of her life until 2010, parked off-street under a custom-built cover and used only occasionally since.the arrival of the Thunderbird.

Custom built car cover included

New vinyl convertible top
Transmission rebuilt 1,000 miles ago


Registered PNO with DMV


Runs, but needs some mechanical work:
Blown head gasket. 
Brake seals need replacing. 
Heater & a/c not working.

We are sad to see her go, and have been reluctant to part with her, but she deserves to be cared for, driven regularly and enjoyed by an enthusiastic owner who appreciates her timeless style.

Could Chrysler leave Michigan for Tennessee?

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Detroit's Big Three could become the Big Two. According to an AP report in The Detroit News, state officials have been lobbying for Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne to select Tennessee as the location for Fiat's joint headquarters with Chrysler Group LLC.
This weekend, Marchionne met with Tennessee governor Bill Haslam at a ceremony celebrating the expansion of a Fiat subsidiary plant in the city of Pulaski. The AP report does not mention any serious talks about headquarters relocation, only that Tennessee officials have been "working me over pretty well," according to Marchionne.
Fiat hopes to complete its merger with the Auburn Hills-based automaker sometime next year, and earlier reports have stated that the company is seeking $10 billion in financing to buy the remaining bits of Chrysler. If the company were to relocate, it would join Nissan and Volkswagen in having major American automotive operations in Tennessee. Of course, that whole "Imported From Detroit" thing would need to go out the window, as well.

How the demise of Lincoln's Town Car has kick-started a limo revolution

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

The deaths of the Ford Crown Victoria and the Lincoln Town Car have meant overhauls of three high-profile American fleets: police, taxi and livery car. Just as police fleets are more open to considering other options and a Nissan van is the new face of the NYC taxi, livery car companies are looking at replacements for the Town Car beyond The Blue Oval. Ford, via Lincoln, has made an MKT Town Car (pictured), but an article in the Detroit News claims "it has failed to win over most of the big limousine companies." The upstarts trying to move in include livery and limo editions of the Cadillac XTS, and livery specifications of the Toyota Avalon and Chrysler 300.
Each of those challengers, however, faces challenges. The Town Car was a workhorse, American, rear-wheel-drive sedan with plenty of rear legroom. Cadillac has been in the livery space before but with decontented models that were about selling the brand, not its luxury. It is taking the opposite approach with the XTS, pointing out that its livery edition is "contented in the upper half of the XTS range." Still, the CEO of Michigan's largest livery company says "it's quite a bit smaller than what we're used to," and he also prefers rear-wheel drive.
The Chrysler 300 is rear-wheel drive, and American, which matters to some companies, but Chrysler hasn't yet revealed the livery package for it. The livery Avalon marks Toyota's first time getting into that business in the US, a natural step after having done so well with taxi clients and with the Town Car out of the way. Still, the livery client is a different to taxi buyers, so the Avalon could face other soft-touch hurdles.

Fiat seeking autonomous partnerships with Uber and Amazon

Fri, Jun 10 2016

If Fiat Chrysler Automobiles CEO Sergio Marchionne can't find another automaker to partner with, he'll have to look elsewhere. Like, outside the traditional automotive industry entirely, if recent reports are to be believed. According to Bloomberg and Business Insider, Fiat is pursuing relationships with Uber and Amazon for self-driving vehicles. This news comes shortly after FCA announced an official tie-up with Google to turn 100 Chrysler Pacifica minivans into autonomobiles. Uber might want to venture into self-driven vehicles for its ride-hailing service, cutting out the expense of human drivers. For its part, Amazon could use autonomous vehicles for deliveries from its online shopping destinations. FCA's interest in these endeavors seems to revolve around their vehicles being used as platforms for software and bespoke hardware setups created by the tech companies. There's no indication of what vehicles FCA would provide to either Uber or Amazon, but something minivan shaped could capably serve both the ride-sharing and package delivery service industries.
