I purchased this car on ebay in June of 2007 from Indianapolis Indiana and drove it home to the Houston, TX area.   I bought this car because of the great memories I had with my last '74 Imperial. It really is a pleasure to drive.  According to the previous owner, this car was sold new at Tom O'Brien Chrysler Plymouth in Indianapolis and remained in the garage of the original owner in the small town of Needham until 2003.  A Derby car guy had it for a short time and then listed it on Ebay in December 2003 when the previous owner purchased it.  He had it from 90,000 miles through 106,130 miles.  The previous owner kept good service records. I have receipts for service records.  At some point he had the exhaust dualed out with flow master mufflers installed.  After I purchased it that was one of my first items to address.  I don't think a luxury car should sound like a race car so I had the mufflers replaced with regular high flow ones.  It is not as quiet as from the factory because I didn't put resonators on it, but it sounds nicer than the flow masters.  At the time I purchased it, the A/C was not functioning.  The hoses were leaking and I had the hoses rebuilt in Tulsa, OK on the way back to Houston, while staying with a friend.  At that time I installed a new compressor and clutch, expansion valve, and bought a new filter/drier.  The condenser had powder in it from the drier, so I ordered a new one online and installed that once I  got home. I didn't like the factory radio, so I installed a newer Chrysler factory Infinity  radio with cassette and CD and Infinity speakers.  No wiring was cut and I am including the original and a spare factory radio if you want to easily convert it back.  The power antenna has stopped working also.  Factory jack and lug wrench are like new. Headliner has two spots that are torn a little. The front windows work but the rear ones don't.  The motors work, but the plastic gears in the motors break and it is a relatively easy fix.  I recently saw the parts online for about $15 each.  I purchased 5 new American Classic tires with the correct width whitewall and put them inside the car for a few days until I had time to get them installed.  Some of the black from the tires bled through the protective plastic they were wrapped in, onto the rear seats, headrests and armrests.  After seeing this, I turned my back on this car and didn't do anything else to it for about 4 years.  I just washed the blue protective coating off the tires for the pictures.  I have only put 1579 miles on this car since I bought it a little over 7 years ago and about 1050 of those miles were from Indianapolis to Houston via Tulsa, OK.  The tires have less than 500 miles on them.  The steering wheel has a crack at the top and the bottom, but the "rim blow" horn still works.  I am including many extra parts to include: extra wheel cover, Auto Temp control module, Auto Temp II amplifier module and control head, factory rear window defrost with factory wiring harness and switch, extra dash panel,many extra door pull strap inserts, 2 radios, extra window motor, extra front turn signal lens, front passenger seat side panels to convert to electric (no wiring, switch, or seat frame with motors).  The transmission has a leak but works fine.  I have finally accepted the fact that I just don't have time for all of my classic cars and need to sell some.  I have a 1991 Imperial for sale also and soon a 2004 Volvo V70 will be listed.

UAW may be key to forced FCA merger with GM

Wed, Jul 29 2015

Sergio Marchionne doesn't give up on a business deal easily. While outwardly not much has recently been said about FCA's attempted merger with General Motors, Marchionne might be hoping to garner a powerful, new ally that could help break things wide open. The United Auto Workers retiree health care trust is the single largest shareholder of GM with 8.7 percent of the stock, and having its support would certainly improve FCA's position in getting a deal done. "Whatever happens in terms of consolidation, it would never be done without the consent and support of the UAW," Marchionne said when FCA recently began contract talks with the UAW, The Detroit News reports. The boss is also allegedly on good terms with the union president Dennis Williams. Still, using the organization for a hostile takeover could be very difficult because of the way its votes are structured. Other activist investors might already be on board, though. Marchionne believes that consolidation in the industry is vital because automakers are investing to create the same technologies. A GM/FCA merger still has many roadblocks, though, including the fact that Marchionne's company is smaller than GM. From a regulatory perspective, the size of the merged company could raise serious anti-trust concerns among regulators, according to The Detroit News. There's also the concern for lost jobs from redundant work with the two combined businesses. Even if the UAW angle doesn't work out, there are contingency plans afoot for other merger targets. According to The Detroit News speaking to anonymous insiders, FCA bigwigs have a meeting in London on Thursday to take a close look at other options. In addition to GM, they are investigating possible deals with Volkswagen and the Renault-Nissan Alliance. In the past, PSA Peugeot Citroen and multiple Asian automakers have also been brought up as partners, and UBS has reportedly been providing financial advice on what to do.

Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
