Beaumont, California, United States
BUY IT NOW, OR MAKE AN OFFER. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. Vehicle is sold AS-IS without warranty of any kind. Inspections are welcome. VIN YM41K73204006 decoded-----> Y-Imperial, M-Crown, 4-#of doors, 1-Sedan, K-440 engine, 7-1967, 3-Jefferson Plant, 204006-serial number. Driver quality Imperial, 1 of 2193 Sedans built in 1967. Total Imperial production in 1967: 14,391. This car was purchased new in Oxnard, CA apparently it has spent it's entire life on the west coast. NO RUST. Nice straight body, with a recent BLACK paint job, probably considered a '10 footer'. Clear coat was peeling from a previous paint job. Check out the pictures. This one has the Crown trim package, factory A/C is all there (needs work and charging) but the compressor is free and the clutch cycles when powered directly. Original 440 engine with factory AFB carb,cold blooded but runs smooth when warmed up. New battery. Fresh spark plugs, wires, cap rotor and points. Non-factory dual exhaust with new mufflers. Looks like the transmission has been rebuilt (has rebuilder tag) and I assume it is the original trans. Mileage shows 94XXX, but I can't confirm it's not 194XXX. Just replaced the strut rod bushings along with sway bar end bushings, also installed HD rear shocks. Rear cross (panhard?) bar needs new bushings. 1967 was first year to have disc brakes. First year without a frame, has 'uni-body' construction. Drives well, (for a 46 year old car) I take it out 3-4 times a week, locally and on the freeway. I replaced all 4 tires (could probably use an alignment). All 4 hubcaps included as well as proper spare and bumper jack. Trunk is huge and has newer carpeting and spare tire cover. Trunk light works. The trunk has a vacuum operated release, push button is in glove box. Brakes function, not real touchy, I have replaced the master cylinder. 3 of 4 door windows operate (I think the window switches need cleaning), both vent windows (electric) need work, but you can hear the motors. All glass is in great condition. All the trim (except the hood eagle) is there and in good condition. All the gauges work, speedometer works as does the odometer. The trip odometer does not. Factory radio missing and the plate had been opened to accept a new (rectangle) style radio, so that's what is filling the space. Electric antenna works when powered directly, (no power to switch?). Has the 'tilt-telescopic' steering wheel. Head and tail lights work, but no dash lights ( I think it's the dimmer switch) the turn signals work if you hold the lever in position (the cancel cam is broken) all door courtesy lights and the overhead dome light work. The 2 rear seat reading lights do not work. Interior is nice, (needs a good cleaning) door panels, carpet and headliner are nice. All the walnut trim needs refreshing, but it's all there. Needs door weather stripping. ---> All around it's a nice car needing TLC and patience to get all the finicky interior electrical gremlins in order. Comes with a reprinted service manual and numerous spare interior trim pieces. Has California 'black' plates and is registered current. Clear title in my name. Car is in So-California, Riverside County, (easy access to I-10 and State Hwy 60) I can help coordinating with your shipper after cleared and complete payment. PayPal used for the $250 non-refundable down payment only, balance in CASH at pick up. ----> No 'shipper over-payment' scams please. Call me at (909) 747-7730 or use the 'ask a question' feature. The vehicle is being sold AS-IS, NO WARRANTY of any kind. NOTE: The car is for sale locally, so I may end the auction at any time. Several Imperial 'officiandos' noticed that the rear window was smaller than those normally found in sedan models. Apparently the window as not an option offered in 1967. The smaller 'privacy' window was available on the LeBaron model. (here's a regular rear window pic: http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1967/SpottersGuide/rear.jpg ) The headliner and window surround look like a factory install to me, there are also 2 reading lights in the rear seat area that are usually only found on LeBarons. Make up your own mind on this story, I make NO claims of it's veracity. NO RESERVE. HIGH BIDDER WINS----> Check out NADA values. http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1967/Chrysler/Imperial/4-Door-Sedan/Values ---> I place the car between Low and Average as far as NADA pricing goes, or between a 4 and a 3 here---> http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1967/Prices.htm condition---> http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/Condition.htm you make your own decision. You can drive this car as you complete the restoration, or turn it into whatever is on your mind. I have been questioned about the seats in this car. I did some research and found they are indeed proper for this car. If you look on the fender tag under TRM you see M1D which translates to Blue cloth and vinyl. here---> http://automotivemileposts.com/imperial1967interiortrim.html Not what I would have chosen, but they are in great condition. These same seats (50-50) were covered in leather as an option on the Crown Hardtops. The passenger side reclines, and both sides have a drop down armrest independent of each other. The back seat has a single, larger armrest in the center. Both seats are electric, and the wiring looks factory to me, (each side has a separate power connection) and each are controlled independent of the other. I MAKE NO CLAIM THAT THIS CAR IS A 'ONE OFF' IMPERIAL, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS THAN USUALLY FOUND ON THE SEDANS. I'VE ALSO BEEN ASKED IF IT CAME WITH A VINYL TOP. I DON'T KNOW! ---> IF IT EVERY HAD ONE, SOMEONE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF REMOVAL . Use your best judgement as to the rarity regarding this unique Imperial Sedan. There were only 2193 'sedans', total, built in 1967. How many are left? Car is being sold AS-IS without any warranty. BUY IT NOW, OR MAKE AN OFFER. Inspections are welcome, just call to arrange: (909) 747-7730 PLEASE HAVE YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER SHIPPING IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. ---> $250 non-refundable deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of auction end.<--- Full payment due within 7 days. ----> CASH in person or legit Cashier's Check, (we will take to my bank together). Vehicle will not be released until payment has cleared. No shipper 'over payment' scams. |

President Trump to visit Michigan on Wednesday to attend auto-related event
Mon, Mar 13 2017President Trump will visit the Detroit area on Wednesday for the first time since taking office, the Detroit News reports this morning, to meet with officials of automakers, suppliers and unions, and to attend a rally of autoworkers. Trump might use the event to announce his intentions to roll back fuel-economy standards for cars and trucks. The automakers agreed to the standards, which set a goal of a fleet average 54.5 miles per gallon by the year 2025, under President Obama, but they have lobbied Trump to repeal them. "This is a continuation of a dialogue with the auto industry leaders, and also going back and reconnecting with a lot of the people who elected him," Chris Liddell told the News. Liddell is former chief financial officer of General Motors and now assistant to the president for strategic initiatives at the White House. Trump might also use Wednesday's visit to advocate the House Republicans' proposed replacement for the Affordable Care Act. Later Wednesday, he will attend a campaign-style rally in Nashville, and White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer has said the president intends to hit the road to sell the American public on the Obamacare replacement plan. The auto industry has been high on Trump's agenda - and a focus of his rhetoric to return manufacturing jobs and facilities to the United States. During his first week in office, Trump met privately at the White House with the CEOs of Ford, GM and Fiat Chrysler, and GM CEO and Chairman Mary Barra and Ford CEO Mark Fields are members of Trump economic advisory groups. He has criticized Ford and GM for making cars in Mexico and took credit when Ford scrapped plans for a new plant there.

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.
Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot boards meet to finalize merger
Tue, Dec 17 2019MILAN/PARIS — The boards of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and Peugeot will meet separately on Tuesday to discuss finalizing an initial agreement for a $50 billion merger to create the world's number four carmaker, sources said. A source close to FCA said the two companies could announce the signing of a binding memorandum early on Wednesday, followed by a conference call to explain further details later in the day. The two mid-sized carmakers announced plans six weeks ago for a tie-up to help them deal with big challenges in the industry, including a global demand downturn and the need to develop costly cleaner cars to meet looming anti-pollution rules. Ahead of the meetings, entities representing the Peugeot family, Etablissements Peugeot Freres (EPF) and FFP, unanimously approved a proposed memorandum of understanding for the planned merger, a source familiar with the situation said. FCA and PSA have said they would seek to finalize a deal by year-end to create a group with 8.7 million in annual vehicle sales. That would put it fourth globally behind Volkswagen, Toyota and the Renault-Nissan alliance. PSA's Carlos Tavares will be chief executive and FCA's John Elkann — the scion of Italy's Agnelli family, which controls FCA through their holding company Exor — chairman of the combined company. The group will include the Fiat, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, DS, Opel and Vauxhall brands, allowing it to serve mass and premium passenger car markets as well as those for trucks and light commercial vehicles.
