1970 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron Hardtop 2-door 7.2l on 2040-cars
Verplanck, New York, United States
Ok Fuselage fans.... Here is a 1970 2 door Imperial Lebaron fresh from the desert of Oregon. It was an original California car, then spent the rest of its life in Oregon. The good news is, now it is resting safely in the suburbs of NY about a 1/2 north of Manhattan. The other good news is, if you're from NY, you know how hard it is to get a rust free classic car from here. The salt and stuff they use on the roads kills these cars. This Imperial has none of the NY issues we deal with on a day to day basis. She is clean from stem to stern. As said earlier, I rescued this car from the desert along with another one (a 69) which is my project. I can't keep them both. I am going to offer this car up as a no reserve auction. High bidder gets it. I left the car in as found condition. It will need the brake and fuel system gone through. No biggie, a weekend or two of beers and burgers. You'll get it done easily. The great news is the #'s matching steel crank 440 turns over and fires right up with a little go-go juice poured down the carb. She sounds awesome!!! All the lights work. The A/c does not work but is all there. There is less then 100k on the clock, I just am not sure what the exact mileage is. If you need to know, I can look. There is some rust on the firewall due to an animal nest....That's it, the rest is clean. I really hope someone fixes it up and allows her to ride again. You never see these on the road anymore, especially on the east coast. This car has no title. Its a registration only deal in NY. If you need it, I can get one through the DMV and its transferable to any state. I will assist in shipping, but the winner is to arrange it and pay for it. I have no problem in sending this baby overseas. A $500 non refundable deposit is to sent with 48 of auction end. I encourage you to come and see it. Any questions, email me and I will get back to you ASAP. Thanks for looking at my ad. PS I will have a 71 4 door parts car available as soon as I remove the drivetrain for my 69 2 door. It will be offered to the winner first. Its got a lot of good parts on it.

Chrysler's next-gen minivans will get more expensive
Mon, Feb 2 2015Chrysler introduced the value-oriented Great American Package on the base model Chrysler 300 in 2005. That morphed into the American Value Package available as an option on the Dodge Grand Caravan in 2012, which made it the lowest-priced minivan in the country, now with an MSRP of $21,395. Automotive News reports that Chrysler is going to kill the value package when the new Town & Country arrives for 2017, because the new platform and technology of the coming minivan make it "a difficult price point to get to." AN says the next-generation haulers will come in around $26,000 and can go beyond $45,000 with options; clicking every "Add" button we could find on the Town & Country build page, we couldn't get past $43,000 for today's model. That entry pricing in 2017 would eliminate the first three trims on the Dodge option, the American Value Package, the SE that starts at $24,195, and the SE Plus that starts at $24,995. This makes us think the next-generation haulers will take a sizable step upscale in terms of feel, content, and trim, a la the Chrysler 200. In this writer's opinion, if they do as good a job as they've been doing recently, the extra money will be worth it. There have been spy shots and a lot of rumors about it, like the Caravan minivan going away and becoming a crossover, but we'll see it revealed at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
Undersized grille was #1 complaint of 2011-2014 Chrysler 300 owners
Wed, Dec 24 2014Not only did the 2005-2011 Chrysler 300 have a big ol' grille, it jutted ahead of the car. The grille was the metaphorical figurehead for the USS 300, and it did its job, making the sedan the Central Casting submission for "in-your-face styling" that rolled down the street winning the game of "Made You Look." The one-billion-dollar redesign for 2011 (pictured above) aimed for more upscale and less aggression - "a more grown-up look" - so the grille shrunk. And Chrysler 300 buyers hated that. So said Chrysler brand president Al Gardner to Edmunds, relating that the smaller grille was "the No. 1 issue" on the list of customer complaints about the model years from 2011 to 2014. It doesn't appear to have been much loved in-house, either, with Ralph Gilles having said of it, "Our previous generation of leaders didn't understand the car very well, and kind of forced this front end on us." That's why the grille on the 2015 model (pictured in 300S trim, inset) was aggrandized by 33 percent, although it's still not as large as on the first generation, and the more fluid design of the current car doesn't let it stand out as before. Gardner went on to say that designers "spent more time on the front end than on anything else," in search of, as Gilles put it, "the attitude it deserves." We'll soon find out if that increases the number of buyers it deserves as well.
