1967 Chrysler Imperial Convertible Very Rare 1 Of 557 on 2040-cars
Franconia, New Hampshire, United States
|
Chrysler only made 557 Imperial convertibles in 1967. This is a rare car and quite a stunning deisgn and very attractive with long strong horizontal character lines. It is powered by a 440 4 bbl and will get up and go if asked, although it is most enjoyable on the boulevard showing off its leather interior with velvet inserts. Tilt and Telescopic steering, a covered compartment for the radio. The doors and dashboard are finished in walnut (which needs refinishing). It is enjoyable to drive this 5,000 pound, 19'6" cruiser and yes, it loves gas too! This rare convertible has had a new paint job but still needs restoration. The paint is new and adequate, but not concours level. There is new carpet, but the interior needs attention - some trim parts missing, some walnut inserts need restoration. Car runs, top goes up and down, electric windows work. Needs new top - currently doesn't close all the way. Tires are fine, all hub caps and trim is there. This car runs and drives fine but needs a thorough go through - maybe not a restoration, but there are a number of items that need attention, especially in the interior. All parts are believed to be present. The mileage is believed to be accurate, but accuracy is unknown. Needs new battery, probably a brake job. There are no titles in New Hampshire for cars older than 25 years so you will get a bill of sale only. eBay makes you put something in the title category, but I do not have a title. If you're going to do a real restoration on this beauty, you can expect a retail value in the 30's or 40's depending on how much work you do. I am also selling a package of Imperial Parts concurrently with this car sale which you may find useful in a complete restoration. I am also selling low mileage Imperial Coupe if you really want to start a collection. 105,305 Miles on odometer

UAW urging Chrysler to sell shares to investors
Thu, 10 Jan 2013The United Auto Workers union is pushing Chrysler to sell 16.6 percent of its stock to investors in an attempt to establish the value of the shares. The UAW is currently locked in a lawsuit with Chrysler parent company Fiat over how much the Italian automaker should pay to buy shares from the trust fund. Last year, Fiat told the trust it intended to exercise its right to purchase 3.3 percent of the union's shares at issue. But the union contended the 54,154 shares were worth closer to $381 million instead of the $155 million Fiat offered.
Currently, the UAW owns 41.5 percent of Chrysler while Fiat holds 58.5 percent of the company. Currently, it's unclear whether the UAW could force Chrysler to put the shares on the open market. Doing so would be the first step toward a much-anticipated initial public offering. Chrysler has said it will comply with its shareholders agreement, and Fiat has echoed that tune. According to The Detroit Free Press, the UAW Retiree Medical Benefits Trust has declined to comment on the situation.
Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns
Wed, 22 May 2013Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.
Chrysler museum to open one last time on June 8
Thu, 18 Apr 2013Due to a lack of funding, Chrysler closed the doors to its Walter P. Chrysler Museum in Auburn Hills, MI back in December, but it sounds like the facility will be open next month for one last hurrah. According to a report in the Detroit Free Press, the Chrysler Museum will be open to the public one last time on June 8 for the annual Chrysler Employee Motorsport Association car show.
While the car show will take place in the museum's parking lot from 9:00 AM until 4:00 PM on June 8 with a theme dedicated to muscle cars past and present, all attendees will be able to be among the last people to tour the museum - with free admission. The museum is known for housing some of the more important production and concept cars from Chrysler's history. Check out the car show's flyer for more information.
