1959 Chrysler Imperial With 413 And Push Button Trans. Solid Project No Reserve on 2040-cars
Concord, California, United States
You are bidding on a great classic car. It was pulled out a storage barn in Northern California two weeks ago. The only thing I have done is lube the hinges on the hood and doors. As well as adding a little Marvel oil to the cylinders. And added junk tires that hold air to make it a roller. The 413 v8 engine was not stuck and does turn over but does not run. The buttons on the transmission work freely. There are no working brakes at all. The interior is complete and is functional but it will need a lot of restoration. The passenger side inner door handle is broken off. The rear door locks appear to be stuck or I just don't know how they work. It has the rare swivel seats in the front! The dash is a work of art. There are some dash cracks and the steering wheel leather is peeling. There is a key for the ignition but it doesn't seen to work on the doors. The locks may just need lubrication. They want to turn but not quite and I don't want to force them. The mileage appears to be original. The Body is very solid There is a dent on the passenger side rocker. There was some body work done that has started to peel off revealing surface rust. It appears to only be surface rust from poor prep. The only rot I have found is on the rear quarter by the passenger side tire. Everything else appears to be surface. The front bumper is bent but can be easily straightened. The floors and trunk are solid. The trunk liners are even still in place. The glass is not cracked. The trim looks to be all there except for the trunk lid handle and trunk key lock. It also has a cool factor of about 9.2 on the groovy scale...This car is a work of art.!!!!! This is a non-running project.....it has no brakes....it has some rust....it has some dents....it has some other unknown issues....Please be realistic and bid accordingly!!! Look closely at the pictures and ask all questions prior to bidding. If you have less than 5 feedbacks please contact me prior to your bid being placed. I have also included a picture of a two door coupe I may be listing later depending on the interest. Local delivery is available for a fee. This is a no reserve auction. Low starting price. I don't know what it is worth, so there is no buy it now or early end. Thank you. |

Marchionne says Fiat Chrysler can make 6 million cars per year
Tue, 01 Apr 2014The combined Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will see its production capacity increase from a projected 4.6 million in 2014 to 6 million units once it completes its integration, according to statements made by FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne.
"With the initiatives we will announce in May, six million is accessible," Marchionne said during a Fiat shareholders' meeting in Turin, according to The Detroit News. Marchionne is aiming to complete the merger between the Turin, Italy-based Fiat and the Auburn Hills, MI-based Chrysler by the end of this year.
Increasing production by 1.4 million units is no small order, particularly when combined Fiat and Chrysler sales have increased only modestly in the past few years - only 4.4 million units were sold in 2013, and while 4.6 million is projected for 2014, 4.5 million is also a distinct possibility. Six million units per year has been Marchionne's self-imposed goal for the combined automaker, according to The News, claiming that FCA would need to crest that point to achieve profitability.
Mopar teases four of 'nearly 20' SEMA Show concepts
Fri, Oct 23 2015Yesterday it was Chevrolet. Today, Mopar has dropped some SEMA knowledge, releasing a quartet of teaser images that give us some indication of what kind of cars, trucks, and crossovers Fiat, Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram will be showing in Las Vegas. Like Chevy, Mopar's concepts utilize both production and concept accessories, although Fiat Chrysler has gone a bit more indepth on at least one of its concepts. Immediately, the most tantalizing teaser is the one shown above. Yes, that's the back of a Challenger, and aside from the bright orange accents on the gray body, you should take notice of the badge mounted on the spoiler – yes, that says "GT AWD." To be honest, such a vehicle wouldn't be a huge shock, as both the Challenger's LX platform-mates, the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300, are offered with all-wheel-drive options. Still, adding such a vehicle to the production cycle would give Dodge a leg up on the rear-drive only Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro. Aside from that concept, FCA has also released teasers of a Ram-based concept, a 300-based concept, and what we're guessing is a Fiat 500X. We can't wait to see what the actual Fiat concept has to do with kiteboarding. As for the 300 and Ram, there's not a lot of hints on what sort of styling details they'll contain. The Chrysler has additional LED accents and what we're guessing is matte blue paint, while the Ram is based on a Hemi-powered 1500 with Rebel styling cues. This is just a very tiny sample of Mopar's final SEMA roster, which include "hundreds" of parts. There should also be a total of 20 vehicles covering all four former Chrysler Group brands, as well as Fiat. Naturally, we'll have plenty to report on each vehicle once the SEMA show kicks off in the next couple weeks.
Wish you had a world-famous auto exec give your commencement speech? Watch this
Sat, 02 Feb 2013We've seen some pretty great commencement speeches over the years. There was Steve Jobs' incredibly inspiring Stanford address in 2005, John Stewart's insightful speech to the graduating class of William and Mary in 2004 and Steven Colbert's hilarious 2011 address at Northwestern, but automotive executives aren't strangers to honorary degrees. Former General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner spoke at Virginia Commonwealth University in 2011, and Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne recently gave the keynote at Walsh College's 100th Commencement Ceremony. The executive knows a thing or two about success and following one's beliefs to fulfillment.
"I constantly encourage my co-workers at Fiat and Chrysler to go beyond the cliche and the conventional to try new approaches and change perspective each and every day," Marchionne said. "I exhort them not to repeat the same things, the same approaches, and I remind them they are indeed free. The freedom I am talking about is something inside you. It is determined by how open minded you remain, how receptive you are to the new and to the different, to the infinite possibilities that present themselves even if you don't go looking for them or could never have imagined. Being free means that you have the strength not to be conditioned by what others want you to do or by what may seem to be the easiest choice."
Amen to that. You can check out the brief press release on the address below as well as a video of a few highlights from the speech.
