Offered for your consideration is a 1951 Chrysler Imperial Sedan. This car was recently rescued from a Kansas farm and would definitely be worth the effort to restore. For one thing it is a first year HEMI car and the original 331cid engine still turns over by hand with compression. Secondly, this car is very complete and is only missing small odds and ends. Finally it is very solid and the rust is minimal.
This car is missing the crown on the trunk, the small crown trim pieces that go inside on the front doors, and the clock (all of which were robbed while it was in its resting place. Otherwise this car is extremely complete and still sporting its original hub caps and fender skirts (one of the fender skirts has a broken chrome spear trim pice but the the two pieces are there). The engine turns over nicely by hand with compression and there is nothing missing from the engine bay that I can see. The carburetor is a two barrel. The clutch operates and the car rolls and steers. The wiring harness has been chewed on by rats and will need to be repaired or replaced and the interior needs to be completely redone. I do not have any keys for the car. This car has power windows and the interior is complete minus the clock on the dash and the two small inside door trim pieces I mentioned earlier. The steering wheel plastic is mostly missing because of all of the sun exposure it has had. None of the glass is broken but some of the flat glass is starting to yellow. The three pice rear window pieces are in fantastic condition and that is important because they are the only pieces of glass that are rounded and expensive to replace. The stainless trim on this car is in great shape the chrome is overall very good except for the bumpers which have some rust but the pot metal chrome pieces are surprisingly nice. As far as body rust goes all that i can see is a small hole in the front floor and the very bottom of the trunk lid is a bit rusty the trunk floor looks OK. The car has some dents on it; one on the front drivers side corner of the roof, the two front fenders, and some spots that have body filler on the car (dents are filled in, not rust). The frame looks great and only has surface rust. The car has no title but I will fill out an official bill of sale and getting a title should not be hard considering this is an antique and has been off the road since 1983. It has the fluid drive semi-automatic transmission which is a marvelously strange design. This car absolutely deserves a second chance, but I know how the story usually goes for these old neglected HEMI cars. The engine is pulled to be put in a hot rod or something and the rest of the car is crushed. I find that disgusting, but if that is what the new owner plans to do, so be it, just please don't tell me about it. A NON-REFUNDABLE $200 dollar PayPal deposit is due ant the end of the auction from the winning bidder within 48 hours. Please don't your time or mine by bidding on something you can't afford or don't intend on picking up. PICKUP ARRANGEMENTS FOR THIS CAR MUST BE MADE WITHIN 5 DAYS OF THE END OF THE AUCTION and I would like this car to be picked up within two weeks of the end of the auction. Don't let this old HEMI cruiser slip away . Good luck and Happy Bidding! |

Fiat seeking autonomous partnerships with Uber and Amazon
Fri, Jun 10 2016If 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.

Mopar introduces winter tire and wheel packages
Wed, Dec 2 2015Winter is coming, and Mopar will try to help drivers stay safe in the cold weather this year by offering a winter tire and wheel package for a variety of FCA US vehicles for the first time. The packages combine everything drivers need to be prepared for slick roads, including winter tires, steel wheels, and Tire Pressure Monitoring System sensors. Even better, the company delivers them mounted, balanced, and ready for installation. Customers can order the bundles from dealers now. Mopar offers packages with the General Altimax Arctic tire on the Dodge Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country, Jeep Cherokee, and Chrysler 200. All- and rear-wheel drive configurations of the Chrysler 300 get the Michelin X-Ice Xi3, and the all- and rear-drive Dodge Charger models use the Continental WinterContact SI. Depending on the vehicle, prices vary between $242 and $292 per wheel, and Mopar will expand the program to even more models next year. Spending the extra money on winter tires really can make a difference. Experts are clear that the specialized rubber simply works better when the weather gets cold. They can shorten braking distances and improve traction – even with all-wheel drive. Plus, winter tires can often last for more than one year, which spreads out the investment. ALL-NEW MOPAR WINTER WHEEL ASSEMBLIES DELIVER ADDITIONAL COLD-WEATHER CONTROL 01/12/15 from Mopar Print this page Add this release to Your Downloads Mopar winter wheel assemblies include winter tire, steel rim, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Assemblies delivered mounted, balanced, ready to install December 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - Winter is coming and just in time, so are all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies. The all-new Mopar winter wheel assemblies are available for order for a variety of FCA US vehicles. Assemblies include a winter tire, steel rim and Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), and are delivered mounted and balanced, so you or your dealership can quickly and easily pop off all-season rims and rubber and put on cold-weather appropriate gear. "Mopar is rolling out our first-ever offering of winter wheel assemblies for those customers who desire a little extra control during the cold weather seasons," said Pietro Gorlier, Head of Parts and Service (Mopar), FCA – Global.
Poor Chrysler 200 sales blamed for 1,420 layoffs in Sterling Heights
Wed, Apr 6 2016FCA will indefinitely lay off a total of 1,420 workers from its Sterling Heights Assembly and Stamping plants on July 5, according to The Detroit News. This decision will cut a 1,300-person shift that builds the Chrysler 200, and it will also affect 120 people who stamp the sedan's components. The company's statement said the decision would "better align production with demand." FCA plans to give these folks open full-time positions as they become available. Chrysler 200 sales are down 63 percent to just under 18,000 units so far in 2016. After the cuts, there will still be one shift to build the 200, but even then the model won't have much of a future. In January, CEO Sergio Marchionne announced that FCA would discontinue production of the 200 and Dodge Dart because customers were no longer interested in small sedans. All of the roughly 3,000 hourly workers at Sterling Heights have been on a temporary layoff since February 1, according to The Detroit News. They don't go back to work until next week. United Auto Workers Vice President Norwood Jewell released a statement saying that while the "shift reduction at Sterling Heights Assembly is unfortunate, it is not unexpected." However, he was fairly upbeat about the cuts because FCA plans to increase production capacity for trucks and SUVs. "I believe that in the long term this move will be a positive one for our members and the company," he said. During last year's labor negotiations, the UAW's deal reportedly included an agreement for FCA to move 200 and Dodge Dart production to Toluca, Mexico, but the company promised to build the Ram 1500 at Sterling Heights Assembly. FCA spokesperson Jodi Tinson gave no comment about future vehicles at the factory when asked by Autoblog. Related Video: Statement Regarding Indefinite Layoffs at SHAP In order to better align production with demand at its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, FCA US notified the State of Michigan, the City of Sterling Heights and the UAW today that it intends to return the plant to a one shift operation, beginning July 5. The Company will place indefinitely laid off employees in open full-time positions as they become available within the Detroit labor market based on seniority. A Statement from UAW Vice President Norwood Jewell on FCA Announcement about Sterling Heights Assembly: While today's announcement of a shift reduction at Sterling Heights Assembly is unfortunate, it is not unexpected.
