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.

We aren't the only ones who want a Chrysler Pacifica Hellcat

Wed, Jan 27 2016

Yes, you read that correctly: Chrysler. Pacifica. Hellcat. We want one. It's definitely not happening. But that doesn't mean we – and the FCA designers – can't dream, right? That's what led to this sketch, posted on Instagram by Fiat-Chrysler design boss Ralph Gilles. It looks pretty sweet, including that hella important wing for maximum downforce, yo. As long as we're dreaming, we've got a few other requests. Let's put that 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter, supercharged V8 in the middle of the van. Screw the Stow 'N Go seats – let's get that engine mounted as low in the car's midsection as possible. And while we're at it, let's go for rear-wheel drive. And a six-speed manual transmission. And a third row of seats behind the engine, but rear-facing, so we can make our friends puke. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences. Manage Settings. In all seriousness, we're looking forward to driving the regular Pacifica when it launches this Spring. To refresh your memory, it's a totally new van, and will even be offered in Hybrid spec with an 80-mile-per-gallon-equivalent rating. Sounds impressive. Oh, heck. Hellcats > Hybrids. Ralph, we urge you to make this one a reality. Related Video:

FCA issuing software update for 1.4M vehicles to prevent hacking

Fri, Jul 24 2015

In the wake of a Jeep Cherokee being hacked remotely while on the road through its Uconnect infotainment system, FCA US is now issuing a software update for 1.4 million vehicles in the United States. Affected customers will receive a USB stick in the mail with the improved version; owners can check this website to see if their cars are affected. A large variety of models with FCA's 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system are affected. They include the 2015 Chrysler 200, 2015 Chrysler 300, 2015 Dodge Charger, and 2015 Dodge Challenger; 2013-2015 Dodge Viper; 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cab; 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee; and 2014-2015 Dodge Durango. According to FCA in its announcement, the new software "insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation." As of July 23, the company also "fully tested and implemented within the cellular network" additional security to prevent access to many of a vehicle's systems. FCA US says that it's conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution and disputes the notion that there's a defect with these vehicles. Beyond the demonstration of the hack in the Cherokee, the automaker says that it's unaware of any other reports of these attacks actually happening. Related Video: Statement: Software Update July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios. The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action. Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.

Supplier says Jeep Cherokee hack only affects FCA cars

Wed, Aug 5 2015

Harman doesn't think that drivers need to worry about any further hacks of its products. The company supplies FCA's Uconnect infotainment system where a software vulnerability is responsible for a 1.4-million vehicle recall. "This experimental hack is unique to Chrysler," Harman CEO Dinesh Paliwal said to Automotive News. "This does not exist, to our assessment, in any other vehicle." The reason that the company wouldn't be involved is that automakers aren't simply plugging in the existing infotainment systems into new vehicles. According to Paliwal, Harman supplies the unit, but FCA and other automakers are able to make additional modifications for their vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has also recently taken up the question of broader software vulnerabilities in Harman's products. On July 29, the agency began investigating the company to check for similarities between Uconnect and the infotainment systems supplied to other automakers. The Jeep hack became national news when two researchers were remotely able to take control of a Cherokee. The vulnerability in the cellular connection even gave control over the brakes. "Once people get in the car and get into the CAN bus, then you can start to mimic and mess up many, many things in the car," Paliwal said to Automotive News. Politicians immediately responded with legislation to create federal standards in hopes of protecting drivers better. NHTSA also opened an investigation to make sure the automaker's software update actually solved the problem. Related Video:
