Frank Sinatra Edition Offered At No Reserve on 2040-cars
San Diego, California, United States
|
This car runs, shifts and drives wonderfully (less
than 200 miles on rebuilt engine) and looks great
from a distance but (in the spirit of honesty and
"full disclosure") less so when you get close:
it has a number of tiny dents and dings (really
could use new paint but as a driver it's just fine).
and there are a couple of interior cigarette burns
(I'm told the gentleman who owned it previously
was the original owner, a mechanic who was rather
careless with his belongings especially when he had
beer in his belly). Other little issues include a radio
antenna doesn't go up and down automatically as it's
supposed to (aftermarket AM/FM radio/casette player
works fine), headlight doors are stuck open, seat-motors
not fully operational (but can be partially adjusted; I'm
6'1" and totally comfortable in the driver's seat), all the
necessary instrument panel displays light up (but some don't
switch to the alternative settings, i. e. from gallons to litres,
etc). I was told by the gentleman who handled the sale that
the car had a little less than 50,000 miles on when it was
converted from fuel injection to carburation at which point
the ODO's are zeroed-out; it's showing 80000 miles now.
But ... in the final analysis this car IS a very rare Sinatra edition,
of which Barrett-Jackson has said there are less than 35 left licensed
in the U. S. thus this model is not only rare it's a true classic ... so if
you love these cars and are good w/your hands this car will help you
pass many enjoyable hours puttering and fixing and/or many more great hours
behind the wheel driving it as is. One more thing, with the engine rebuild it has
smogged twice here in California (which means it'll smog anywhere it has to).
So I'm leaving it to you Imperial afficionados to determine the
car's value by offering it at true No Reserve, pehraps one of the
last chances ever to own a Sinatra this decent for a great price.
Granted this car may not be the handsomest guy in the class but
he sure can run!
Car is being sold as-is-where-is. Buyer is responsible for
shipping from San Diego to your location. $500 deposit
payable to ebay w/in 24 hours of completing purchase,
balance due within 48 hours after that. |

Sergio rethinks FCA-GM merger idea, dismisses critics
Sat, Dec 5 2015After many public overtures, Fiat Chrysler Automotive CEO Sergio Marchionne has claimed his company won't be making a hostile takeover bid for General Motors. This is despite widespread speculation that FCA's desire to merge was motivated by its allegedly dire situation. As one unnamed GM exec who spoke to Automotive News earlier this year put it, "Why should [GM] bail out FCA?" "We are not choking. We are in relatively decent shape," Marchionne told journalists attending an FCA shareholder meeting in Amsterdam, AN reports. "We have been publicly rebuffed, we have been rejected and you cannot force these things. I don't want to. At the moment, we have no intention to do anything hostile." Instead of focusing on merging with GM, or any other partners for that matter, FCA will refocus on implementing its ambitious five-year investment plan, which would see it dump $52 billion into its various brands, with a particular focus on Alfa Romeo, Maserati, and Jeep. So far the attempt has largely been unsuccessful, especially as it relates to the Italian brands. Earlier this week, additional reports emerged that claimed Alfa was pushing back the Giulia and an unnamed CUV while reassigning resources to updated versions of the Giulietta and MiTo hatchbacks. This is not the first time we've heard about trouble for the Giulia, of course. For Masearti, though, it was the first we'd heard of delays for Alfieri sports car, which allegedly won't appear in 2016, as promised. We can expect a proper breakdown of FCA's adjusted plans when Marchionne and Company reveal an updated product slate next month.

2014 Chrysler 200 to set design tone for brand
Sun, 20 Jan 2013Speaking with Wards Auto at this year's Detroit Auto Show, Chrysler design chief Ralph Gilles said that the next-generation Chrysler 200 will launch a whole new styling direction for the brand when it arrives for the 2014 model year. Gilles did not reveal any specific design cues or elements that will be found on the next 200, only saying that the new car "shares no surface language with any previous Chrysler we've ever seen."
Indeed, the current 200 isn't exactly setting the world on fire with any sort of clever, emotive design, but Gilles knows that. "The current Chryslers on the road today certainly don't reflect where we're headed," he told Wards Auto. Instead, Gilles said that "we are deviating from where we are today, completely. It's a very different feeling (and) look."
The launch of the new Chrysler 200 will officially mean the death of its Dodge Avenger counterpart, though Gilles says that the company is working on an all-new product to replace that vehicle down the road. Still, Chrysler will need a successful player in the popular midsize segment, and Gilles fully expects the new 200 to be up to the task. "I think it's going to be a beautiful and relevant vehicle."
Marchionne offers belated apology for 'wop engine' comment
Wed, 22 May 2013Automotive News reports Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has issued a written apology for his comments regarding his decision to stick with an Italian engine for the upcoming Alfa Romeo 4C. As you may recall, back in January, Marchionne was quoted as saying, "I cannot come up with a schlock product, I just won't. I won't put an American engine into that car. With all due respect to my American friends, it has to be a wop engine." The CEO penned an apology to the Italian American ONE VOICE Coalition for using the racial epithet, saying that he made the comment in jest. Marchionne also said he realizes his remarks were unacceptable.
ONE VOICE, an organization aimed at fighting discrimination and stereotyping of Italian Americans, thanked Marchionne, Chrysler and Fiat for the apology. Marchionne is an Italian-born Canadian citizen, and he's gotten in trouble for other comments in the past. In 2011, he called high interest rates Chrysler was paying to the Canadian government "shyster rates." He apologized a day later.
