Piketon, Ohio, United States

1975 Imperial LeBaron 4-door hardtop, 70,907 original miles

1975 was the last year for the big Imperial.

I've owned the car for about 8 years (had about 65,000 miles on it then) and it has mostly been garage-kept. I intended to restore the car, but life has a nasty way of getting me to put hobby work on the backburner and with my research travel, this will be another summer without having much time to work on the car.

Car is a 25-footer (has little scrapes and dings); Car shines up nicely; It runs good (drove it 17 miles before I began putting this ad together), tranny shifts as it should; Interior is acceptable (leather seats are fairly nice, stitching on top of rear seat is coming apart and driver's seat shows wear); Headliner is pretty nice. Carpet is very good. Undercarriage is good for the car's age; Vinyl top is shrinking (a new aftermarket vinyl top that the buyer can install will come with the car). Chrome is good, but have small flaws.

Brakes are recent (put on about 3,000 miles ago); New fuel pump put in about 2,000 miles ago; New fuel filter 500 miles ago; New distributor, spark plugs and wires put on about 300 miles ago. Tranny flush about 4,000 miles ago.

Has aftermarket AM/FM cassette radio.

A/C worked last summer and blew cold (has been refitted for the new kind of Freon), but is not working now (I think it may be a relay)

Power windows, seats, and door locks not working (they all did last year); again I believe it needs a few new relays (my pacemaker doesn't allow me to work with electricity so I can't be sure).

Tires are OK, but probably need replacing in the next 3 or 4 thousand miles.

The little rust that there is appears to be just light surface rust.

Two factory service manuals (a little beaten up and a few pages are missing) will come with the car.

Car is sold "as is" and no warranty or guarantee is given by the seller.

Chrysler files for IPO

Tue, 24 Sep 2013

Chrysler has had a lot of owners over the past few years alone, from Daimler to Cerberus to Fiat and the federal government. But it could be poised to gain some more before long. Like, a lot more.
The automaker has just announced that it has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to issue an Initial Public Offering of common stocks. Chrysler hasn't revealed how many shares will be offered and at what price, however the shares in question will not come out of Fiat's approximate 60% majority shareholding but instead out of the 40% minority stock held by the UAW's VEBA retiree healthcare trust. Reports suggest that the IPO, which is being handled by JP Morgan, could encompass approximately 16% of Chrysler stock, initially valued at approximately $100 million.
Lest you think this is all part of Sergio Marchionne's grand plan to consolidate Chrysler and Fiat, the two auto groups over which he presides, think again. The filing, which still needs to be approved by the SEC, comes at the insistence of the UAW. Negotiations between Marchionne's management team and the union over Fiat's acquisition of the VEBA shares have stalled. If they manage to come to an agreement, however, the IPO would likely be taken off the table. So don't go calling your broker just yet, but you can analyze the official announcement below.

Chrysler extends fuel tank warranties on LX cars, NHTSA ends probe

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has ended its investigation of 153,817, 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter Hemi V8-powered 2006 Chrysler 300, Dodge Charger and Dodge Magnum models after reports of stalling. Chrysler has responded by granting a lifetime warranty on the fuel tanks for these vehicles.
NHTSA received 299 reports of engines stalling while the models were stopped or driving at low speeds, and began an investigation. The government agency found that the control valve shutoff float in the V8s' 19-gallon fuel tank could malfunction if the fuel had too high of an ethanol content. In many cases, the valve would break in the open position, allowing the tank to be overfilled, which would then cause the cars to stall. However, there were no accidents reported, and the vehicles could be restarted immediately.
There will not be a recall on these vehicles because, "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by Chrysler's extended warranty," NHTSA said to The Detroit News.

Former Treasury boss unaware auto task force fired GM's Wagoner

Wed, 14 May 2014

We dig a good political tell-all every once in a while (how else will we get our political fix while waiting for House of Cards' third season?). Today, we get just that from former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's new book, "Stress Test," which details, among other parts of the 2009 financial catastrophe, the structured bankruptcy that allowed Chrysler and General Motors to emerge as competitive players in the auto industry.
In the book, which is nicely recapped by The Detroit News, Geithner discusses the firing of GM CEO Rick Wagoner while explaining how much trust he had in the auto industry task force that executed the move without his knowledge.
Auto Czar Steve Rattner "didn't even consult me before he fired General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner; if anything, that move increased my confidence in Team Auto," Geithner wrote.
