I bought this car in February of 2009 from a lady at a retirement apartment complex where I was helping a friend.  I saw the car there for many years, not moving but once a year or so.  The owner knew something was wrong with it, but couldn't remember what it was called.  I found out the word was "transmission"!  When I bought the car, the transmission had a problem so I had it professionally rebuilt for more than $2000.00. I had the cracked windshield replaced, rebuilt the alternator, new battery, radiator rebuilt, A/C drier and gaskets replaced, Converted to R-134a refrigerant, new front brake pads and rotors and front struts, and new Cooper white wall tires.  The rear struts need to be replaced, but I have not been able to find any. The A/C is cold and radio and power antenna work.  All  windows and locks appear to be working.  The cruise control is not working and is one item I have not gotten to checking out.  I had the vinyl top repainted and front bumper fillers replaced and repainted.  This led to me having the hood and front panels repainted due to rock chips and one or two panels on the rear repainted and the pinstripes re-done at a cost of around  $860.00.  A sudden downpour led me to run in the garage with a ladder and I bumped the top left of the trunk and scratched the paint. It could probably be corrected with touch up paint.

I originally bought the car to pair with my 1974 Imperial in a car show with a "Back to the Future" theme, but the brake caliper froze up on the 1974 the day of the show, so it wasn't meant to be.  Since I have owned the car, I used it to go to car club meetings and events, and sometimes not used it for a couple of months at a time. The mileage that the car shows was put on early in the cars life as I have not put many miles on it since I have owned it and it was not driven for about 3+ years just before I owned it.  I need to get rid of some of my cars as I do not have enough storage space for them all.  Nine is a bit much to take care of.  I'm also selling a 1974 Imperial, a 1976 Fleetwood, and a 2004 Volvo V70.

Sergio: Two-tier wage structure eliminated in FCA deal with UAW [w/video]

Wed, Sep 16 2015

The two-tiered wage structure that governs the way domestic car companies pay their unionized employees – and rankles many of them in the process – could soon be a thing of the past. In a tentative deal seen as a bellwether for other ongoing negotiations, the United Auto Works and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reached a tentative agreement on a four-year contract that would disband the two-tier structure, in which some workers earn higher hourly wages for performing the same job, over time. Officials who announced the tentative agreement late Tuesday in Detroit were short on details of its contents and union members still must ratify it. But FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne said the two-tiered structure will disband by the end of the contract. "The team has crafted together a very thoughtful process, where the issue will go away, go away over time," he said. Further details weren't divulged. Union negotiations with Ford and General Motors are ongoing, so hammering together a deal that sheds the two-tier structure with Chrysler first could set a precedent followed by the other members of Detroit's Big Three automakers. Other key issues that emerged in negotiations with FCA included escalating health-care costs and rewarding workers for the health of the auto industry. But dealing with the two-tier structure, born as GM and Chrysler circled bankruptcy during the Great Recession, was something the UAW wanted to confront. "The UAW has a philosophy about the economic balance of this country and the inequality, and our mission is to bridge the gap in this country," UAW president Dennis Williams said. "It's gotten out of whack. ... We don't want to share anything, and I truly believe that corporations that have that set of mind have lost their way." The UAW's executive board was expected to review the tentative agreement this morning before a union membership vote is scheduled. For Marchionne, who skipped the Frankfurt Motor Show to shepherd the negotiations during their final hours, the tentative agreement means he can shift his concern back toward pushing an FCA merger with General Motors or another company and touting the idea of industry consolidation in general. "The other side of this is capital usage in this business, which is something that remains unsolved," he said. "It makes the labor side sort of pale in comparison, given the magnitude of the potential synergies and benefits we'd be deriving from an intelligent approach.

Long winter means most automakers won't curb summer shutdown

Sun, 18 May 2014

A lot more happened during this latest brutal winter than days of snow and Netflix binges. Automotive sales took a battering. After all, going out car shopping when it's eleventy-billion degrees below zero isn't a good time.
Because of this Old Man Winter-induced sales slump, inventories are abnormally high as we head into the summer car buying season. That's led some analysts to predict that automakers will be more inclined to idle factories this summer, in a bid to trim some of the built-up inventory. Traditionally, American manufacturers offer up a two-week break in the middle of summer, although the burgeoning sales of the past few years have seen this practice become less popular.
"We're likely not going to see an acceleration this year," Jeff Schuster, a senior vice president at LMC Automotive, told The Detroit News. "We'll see production increases in 'pockets' but I don't know if it will be as widespread as in recent years."

Ford and Chrysler reducing summer plant shutdowns

Wed, 22 May 2013

Most domestic automaker assembly plants traditionally take a couple of weeks off during the summer. The shutdowns give each plant time for much needed repairs and maintenance, and in some cases, help better align production with demand. Not this year, though, as demand for many models is outstripping what Ford, Chrysler and General Motors plants can produce.
Ford has announced that it will shorten its annual summer shutdown for most North American plants from two weeks to one. The shorter shutdown will increase the carmaker's annual North American production by 40,000 units on top of the 200,000 extra units that it was already planning to produce this year versus last. Automotive News reports that Ford produced 2.8 million vehicles on this continent in 2012, and that output this year has already increased 13 percent through April.
Chrysler, meanwhile, is also operating at full tilt and plans to run some plants through the summer with no shutdown at all. Those not getting a break include Jefferson North where the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango are assembled, Toledo North that will assemble the new Cherokee, and Conner Avenue, home of SRT Viper production. Other assembly plants will be down for a single week, while all of Chrysler's engine and transmission plants except one in Indiana will continue operating with no shutdown this summer.
