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!

Automakers donating money, vehicles and supplies to Oklahoma tornado relief effort

Fri, 24 May 2013

Judging by the destruction the Oklahoma City area experienced earlier this week, residents are going to need a lot of help in coming months. Fortunately, a number of automakers - including General Motors, Ford, Chrysler, Volkswagen, Honda and Toyota - have stepped up to donate money, supplies and vehicles to aid in the recovery and rebuilding processes.
Here's a quick rundown of which automakers have pitched in and what each contributed so far:
Ford Motor Company has donating $250,000 and a Transit Connect to the American Red Cross, and it will match all other donations made to the Red Cross (up to $250,000) using a special URL tied to the latter's website (link here). Additionally, its local Oklahoma dealers have thrown in an extra $150,000 for the United Way and the automaker will be offering an extra $500 toward the purchase of a new Ford vehicle.

Bonhams to auction Carroll Shelby's prototypes and personal cars

Fri, Apr 6 2018

Fans of Carroll Shelby will want to make their way to Greenwich, Conn., this June, because Bonhams will be selling a great many cars from the man's personal collection. And many of them are the first of their kind, marking important milestones in Shelby's career. One of those important cars is a 1982 Dodge Charger prototype, which might not look as impressive as a Cobra, but it was important in that it was the first car on which Shelby collaborated with Chrysler. That car led to the first Shelby Charger, as well as other special small Chryslers including the GLH Omnis and Chargers (GLH standing for "Goes Like Hell"). In fact, the first Charger GLH-S (Goes Like Hell S'more) is also part of this collection. There are even some prototypes up for auction that never resulted in a production car, such as a Shelby modified Dodge Ram. That one is probably our favorite: the gold ram hood ornament, the huge pentastar in the grille, the double-barrel truck horn on the roof. It's wonderful nonsense. Of course it isn't just Chryslers going up for sale. There are a couple of GT500 and GT350 Mustangs in the mix from a variety of years. Perhaps most interesting is the very first Shelby Series I, Shelby's ill-fated roadster designed from the ground-up by the Texan's company. Unlike the other early Series I models, Shelby's had a supercharger, which led to a supercharger option being offered later. You can check out the full list of cars below, and pictures of each one in the gallery at the top. The auction will happen on June 3, and every vehicle offered has no reserve, so they'll all be sold for whatever price is shown at the drop of the gavel. 1927 Ford Model T 1931 Ford Model A 1935 Chrysler Airflow Sedan 1955 DeSoto Hard Top 1966 Shelby GT350 Convertible 1967 Lincoln Continental Convertible 1968 Shelby GT350 1969 Shelby GT 500 previously owned by Jackie Cooper Jr. 1969 Shelby GT 500 1982 Shelby Charger Prototype 1983 De Tomaso Pantera 1983 Dodge/Shelby Pickup Concept 1987 DeTomaso GT5-S 1987 Dodge CSX Serial #1 1987 Shelby Charger GLH-S Serial #1 1987 Dodge Shelby Lancer Serial #1 1988 Dodge Shelby Dakota Prototype 1989 Dodge CSX VNT Serial #1 1965 Shelby Cobra 427 Continuation 1999 Shelby Series 1 Serial #1 2008 Shelby GT 500 KR 2011 Shelby GT 500 Super Snake Aurora Race Car Related Video: Featured Gallery Shelby Collection View 72 Photos Image Credit: Bonhams Chrysler Dodge Ford Auctions Performance Classics shelby

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup

Wed, Mar 18 2015

The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.
