1951 Chrysler Imperial Sedan 331 Hemi Complete Barn Find Solid Needs Love on 2040-cars
McPherson, Kansas, United States
|
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! |

Bosch fined $57.8 million by DOJ for price fixing and bid rigging
Tue, Mar 31 2015The US Department of Justice has been investigating bid rigging and price fixing among automotive parts suppliers for years, and so far the agency has leveled nearly $2.5 billion in fines against 34 companies. The latest business to be caught in this ongoing crackdown is Germany's Robert Bosch GmbH (Bosch), the world's largest independent auto component maker, and it agrees to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine to the Feds. According to the DOJ, Bosch has agreed to plead guilty to pricing fixing and bid rigging for spark plugs and oxygen sensors supplied to the former DaimlerChrysler, Ford and General Motors. The rigging is said to have occurred between January 2000 and July 2011. Bosch also allegedly played foul with starter motors sold to Volkswagen from January 2009 until at least June 2010. Bosch and other companies allegedly conspired on the pricing for bids to submit to automakers, and sold the parts at noncompetitive prices. The DOJ filed a one-count felony charge in US District Court for these actions. The company's plea is still subject to court approval, though. Bosch is only the third European company to be charged in this investigation, according to the DOJ. So far, many of the fined businesses have been from Japan, including Takata, NGK and others. Some execs have claimed price-fixing has been the standard operating procedure in the auto parts industry for a long time. Robert Bosch GmbH Agrees to Plead Guilty to Price Fixing and Bid Rigging on Automobile Parts Installed in U.S. Cars Robert Bosch GmbH, the world's largest independent parts supplier to the automotive industry, based in Gerlingen, Germany, has agreed to plead guilty and to pay a $57.8 million criminal fine for its role in a conspiracy to fix prices and rig bids for spark plugs, oxygen sensors and starter motors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers in the United States and elsewhere, the Department of Justice announced today. According to the one-count felony charge filed today in the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Michigan, Bosch conspired to allocate the supply of, rig bids for, and to fix, stabilize and maintain the prices of, spark plugs and oxygen sensors sold to automobile and internal combustion engine manufacturers such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Ford Motor Company, General Motors Company and Andreas Stihl AG & Co., among others, in the United States and elsewhere.
Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast
Tue, 30 Jul 2013Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.
Next-gen Jeep Wrangler to pack 300-hp Hurricane turbo four
Mon, May 9 2016Fiat Chrysler has been working for some time now on a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Dubbed "Hurricane," the engine is now said to produce nearly 300 horsepower. And its first application could be in the next-generation Jeep Wrangler. With that much power coming from such a small engine, the Hurricane would offer an even higher level of specific output than the 1.75-liter engine in the Alfa Romeo 4C – one of FCA's highest-stressed engines – far eclipsing the 4C's 120 horsepower per liter with 150 hp/l. By way of comparison, the latest 2.0-liter, four-cylinder version of Ford's EcoBoost engine produces "only" 245 hp (122.5 hp/l). The 2.0-liter turbo four in the latest Mercedes-AMG CLA45 and GLA45, however, produces 375 hp. To get so much out of so little an engine, FCA will utilize a twin-scroll turbocharger and variable valve timing. That could make it ideally suited towards a compact performance model, but according to Automotive News, its first application could be in the new the Wrangler. The larger 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 produces 285 hp, nearly as much as the Hurricane will. But with a smaller engine, an eight-speed transmission, and aluminum construction, the new Jeep will likely benefit from dramatically-improved fuel consumption. Related Video:
