Convertible - Low Mileage & No Snow = No Rust! on 2040-cars
Schenectady, New York, United States
|
Yes- She is 25 years YOUNG! This vehicle has LESS THAN 85,000 ORIGINAL MILES! Not "mint" by any means but in very good condition with only some minor wear and tear issues as should be expected for a car it's age, She has a slight wear spot on driver's seat (from the entering /exiting that occurs on leather over time) and some overall carpet color fading from the sunlight ...Because car is originally from Florida and has only been driven (even now) in sunshine!!! The A/C works but was seldom used by me...Heck, it is a convertible after all!!
This vehicle has ALWAYS been regularly serviced and maintained by my local mechanic.I bought the car in '09 from the original owner where it was only used to drive to and from NY to Florida and only used there during winter months as he was a "snow bird".... And her great condition then (and now) is from not dealing with our harsh winters and is still evident now. This vehicle has NEVER been out in snow or road salt!!!! Always garaged and she is still kept under a cover car too in my garage until it's time (and nice enough) to take her out. And while I have owned it, I always have kept her road worthy with routine maintenance and recently replaced all four tires,new battery, brakes, exhaust, timing belt, rear wheel bearings and even had the fluid and transmission filter changed and I have only put 3,500 miles on it since the majority of all that work was done. **HONESTY NOTE: Rear window motors were disconnect by previous owner and I never bothered to re-connect them but he promised me that they do work, but sometimes were intermittent so he just disconnected them both and I have just left them up -which cuts back on some of the wind anyway...She is dependable and fun to drive but unfortunately the summer's and nice weather are really limited here in upstate New York, so I have decided to let her go...Sadly :-( Car is currently safety / emission inspected for New York through May 2015 and will easily pass repeatedly for some years to come with all the new tires, brakes exhaust, etc. work that has been done. She has a clean title and the miles are all ORIGINAL with no accidents / damage! Therefore she has received an above average rating as you can see...The original white vinyl cowl cover, the four original wheel covers and even the original owner manuals are all included..Spare tire and cover are all good and in trunk..To be very clear and upfront...She is NOT mint! But she is in very good (and far better condition) than a lot of vehicles out there that are advertised / listed as being "mint" and that are far from it.....AND they often advertised for even more in price and they have more in miles!!! Hmm...You decide...Anyway,thanks for looking and good luck with the bidding...Hope YOU will be her next owner!! ;-) |

UAW workers in Indiana, Stellantis reach tentative deal to end strike
Mon, Sep 12 2022United Auto Workers union members who went on strike Saturday at the Stellantis casting plant in Indiana have reached a tentative deal with the company. The UAW Local 1166 bargaining committee announced a tentative agreement in a blog post, saying that a ratification vote would be held Monday. Stellantis confirmed the tentative deal Monday. The strike was related to health and safety issues, including the company’s alleged refusal to repair and replace the plantÂ’s air conditioning and heating systems. The 35-acre plant in Kokomo makes parts used in the power trains of Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles. The 1,200-worker plant, Kokomo Casting, is the worldÂ’s largest die cast facility, according to Stellantis. In May, Stellantis announced a $2.5 billion joint venture with Samsung to build an electric vehicle battery factory in Kokomo that is to employ 1,400 workers. Stellantis, created last year through the merger of Fiat Chrysler and FranceÂ’s PSA Peugeot, had said it would build two electric vehicle battery factories in North America. The other is slated for Windsor, Ontario. Plants/Manufacturing UAW/Unions Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM
Junkyard Gem: 1978 Plymouth Volare Wagon
Wed, Jul 27 2022When it came time for Chrysler to retire the beloved but antiquated Dart and Valiant in the North American market, the Dodge Aspen and its Plymouth Volare twin were introduced for the 1976 model year. While the Aspen is better remembered today (partly because Aspens were in just about every cop TV show for a good decade and partly because Chrysler revived the Aspen name for a few years in the late 2000s), Plymouth's "small car with the accent on comfort" outsold the Aspen for every one of their five model years of production. Here's one of those Volares, a '78 station wagon with the Custom exterior and Premier interior packages, found in a Denver-area car graveyard recently. I thought this car looked very familiar, and it turns out that it spent many years parked in an alley driveway in my Denver neighborhood, next to a Dodge 600 sedan (which is still on the road; I saw it moving under its own power a few weeks ago). Back in the summer of 2020, I shot this photo for an episode of 24 Hours of Lemons Carspotting. Now I wish I'd talked a local Lemons team into offering a few bucks for this Volare, because it's better to race than to get crushed. Detroit went through an accent phase that started with the Volare and then continued with the Cadillac Allante and Oldsmobile Trofeo. The interior in this car still looks pretty good. This wagon has the exact same interior and exterior colors as the one in the Volare brochure that year. It's nicely equipped, with the optional 318-cubic-inch (5.2-liter) V8 and air conditioning (via the distinctive Chrysler V-twin compressor just in front of the carburetor). The base price on this car was $4,195 (about $19,890 in 2022 dollars), while the 318 cost $129 extra ($610 now). The A/C added $484 more ($2,295 today, and you can see how the price tag got bigger in a hurry with low-priced cars back in the 1970s). Believe it or not, a four-on-the-floor manual transmission was standard equipment in the '78 Volare with 318 engine, but I've never seen one so equipped; this car has the usual three-speed automatic. A cheap wagon like the Volare certainly wasn't going to come with a radio at the base MSRP (though a dealer might throw one in to sweeten the deal). This single-speaker, AM-only radio cost $74 extra ($351 in 2022 dollars).
Fiat Chrysler exec talks up the future of fuel cells
Fri, Jul 31 2015When it comes to a belief in the viability of electric vehicles, you can put automotive folks like Nissan's Carlos Ghosn and Tesla Motors' Elon Musk on one side of the proverbial wall and Fiat Chrysler Chief Technology Officer Harald Wester on the other. Because while the two former executives are staking much of their companies' respective future on plug-in electric drivetrain technology, Wester sees no such future in it at all, according to an interview in Motor Trend. Oh, sure, the Fiat Chrysler technology chief does give the idea of an electrified powertrain some quarter, saying he sees standard hybrids as a solution for the "intermediate" future in addressing both higher gas prices and need to meet progressively more stringent European greenhouse gas-emissions standards. But Wester, who also oversees Fiat Chrysler's Alfa Romeo and Maserati brands, ultimately views hydrogen fuel-cell technology as the way to go for advanced powertrains and minimal emissions. As for battery-electric vehicles? Wester pretty much shoots them, citing everything from a typical EV battery's weight to the challenge of finding electric recharging stations to the fact that much of the electricity needed for those cars is produced via CO2-emitting sources. He forgot to say anything about the CO2 required to bring gasoline or hydrogen to market. Wester's "bah humbug" is actually pretty consistent with the company's party line. Last year, Fiat Chrysler head honcho Sergio Marchionne, in an interview, famously told the general public not to buy the Fiat 500e electric vehicle. That's because he estimated that the company takes a $14,000 loss on each unit sold of Fiat Chrysler's only production EV.
