THE CAR SAT IN GRANDPA'S MID-WILSHIRE LOS ANGELELS BUILDING PARKING LOT FOR 25 YEARS AFTER HE PASSED AWAY IN 1985.

A VAGRANT WAS LIVING IN THE CAR WHEN I RETRIEVED IF FOR MY UNCLE IN 2010. OVER THE 25 YEARS, KIDS BROKE THE DRIVERS WIND WING AND GOT IN AND DID SOME GRAFFITI WORK, RUINED THE FRONT SEAT (ANY UPHOLSTERY SHOP CAN FIX THIS) , AND THE HEADLINER (NEW KIT ON EBAY RIGHT NOW FOR $250) AND BROKE OFF THE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE,  STOLE THE 8-TRACK PLAYER AND THE SPEAKERS.  AMAZINGLY, THEY DID NOT RUIN ANY PART OF THE DASHBOARD (EXCEPT THEY TOOK THE HEADLIGHT DIMMER SONSOR)- IT IS INTACT (THANK GOODNESS!) BUT THEY DID TAKE THE STEERING WHEEL EMBLEM (ONE ON EBAY RIGHT NOW) . THEY TORE OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE OUTSIDE REMOTE MIRROR (I JUST BOUGHT ONE FOR IT), STOLE THE HUBCAPS (I HAVE 6), TORE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR (ONE ON EBAY RIGHT NOW), TOOK THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR (PAIR ON EBAY RIGHT NOW) AND THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF.

IT SAT IN MY STREET ROD BUILDER'S BACK YARD FROM 2010 TO JUNE 2013 WHEN I ASKED HIM TO GET THE CAR RUNNING- I BOUGHT THE PARTS, HE AND HIS STAFF DID THE WORK, AS FOLLOWS:

NEW WATER PUMP
NEW BELTS
NEW CARBURETOR
NEW HOSES
NEW RADIATOR CAP
NEW HEADLIGHTS
NEW MOPAR ALTERNATOR
NEW INNER/OUTER SEALS & BEARING ALL 4 CORNERS
GAS TANK REMOVED, BOILED OT, COATED INSIDE
NEW IGNITION SWITCH & KEY
NEW BATTERY

AFTER HE BROUGHT IT DOWN TO ME, WE DETERMINED THE ONE OF THE NEW CALIPERS AND THE NEW MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD SO I REPLACED THEM.

SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SO I BYPASSED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO START THE CAR IN ORDER FOR YOU TO TEST DRIVE IT, BUT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO TAKE APART THE CONNECTIONS AND CLEAN THE CONTACTS AND RE-HOOK UP EVERYTHING.  THIS IS COMMON TO THIS CAR AND IS EASILY CURED.  ONCE THE JUICE GETS BACK INTO THE CAB EVERYTHING WORKS AND THE A/C WILL HAVE TO BE CHARGED.  ALSO,THE REAR WINDOW WONT ROLLUP BUT I CAN HEAR CLICKING SO THE MOTOR I BELIEVE IS FINE BUT THE TRACK IS FROZEN FOR SOME REASON.  ALL OF THE GLASS IS OEM AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AS IS THE IMPORTANT TRIM WHICH IS ALL THERE - NOTHING MISSING- THE EASY STUFF LIKE THE REAR FENDER EMBELMS ARE SHOT BUT ARE AVAILABLE.

THE CAR RUNS GREAT, SHIFTS GREAT DRIVES GREAT AND THE BRAKES WILL THROW YOU THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD IF YOU DON'T WATCH IT - NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITH A LITTLE EFFORT, ELBOW GREASE AND SOME LOVIN' THIS CAN BE AN EXCELLENT CRUISER, SURF WAGON OR PUSH CAR FOR YOUR ANTIQUE FUEL ALTERED DRAGSTER LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE FOR MINE BUT I OPTED FOR A '29 MODEL "A" ROADSTER PICKUP, INSTEAD.

OR....YOU CAN TAKE OUT THE DREAM DRIVE TRAIN OUT, PUT IT IN YOUR SLEEPER VALIANT AND FIND SOMENE WHO WANTS TO PART OUT THE REST OF THE CAR AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS WAGON HAS A '67 440 TNT WITH STEEL CRANK, 350 HP CAM, 915 HEADS, TORQUE-FLITE AND 354 POSI 8 3/4 REAR END AND IT RUNS GREAT WITH ONLY 63K MILES ON THE CLOCK.

FCA recalls Fiat 500e to fix cruise control

Thu, Jun 11 2015

Fiat is recalling almost 4,000 of its 500e electric vehicles because of a malfunction related to the model's cruise-control feature. The glitch causes the car's powertrain to be put into neutral under certain situations. It's the second recall on the 500e this year. Specifically, Chrysler-Fiat is recalling 3,975 cars. The issue is that the car's system can misread the motor's torque figures in cruise control, causing the sprightly EV to mistakenly shift into neutral in what was designed as a safety-precaution measure. The good news is that restarting the vehicle gets the car back to normal, but being dropped into neutral in highway mode is certainly no fun. Chrysler-Fiat said in a statement this week that it was "unaware" of injuries, accidents, or customer complaints caused by the issue. In April, the 500e was subject to a recall that impacted about 5,600 vehicles and stemmed from a March 2015 update. The update allowed the car to go into so-called "Limp Home Mode" to better extend range. The problem is that it inadvertently caused the car to stall. Range anxiety, indeed. Take a look at Chrysler-Fiat's press release on the most recent recall below. Related Video: Statement: Software Upgrade June 9, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is voluntarily recalling an estimated 3,975 cars to upgrade cruise-control software. A review of warranty data led to an investigation by FCA US LLC engineers. The investigation discovered certain Fiat 500e hatchbacks were inadvertently equipped with software that may misread torque levels generated by their motors, causing them to shift into neutral – a prescribed failsafe mode. This condition may occur only while cruise-control is engaged and the driver attempts to override the feature with accelerator-pedal applications or rapid tapping of the accelerate/decelerate buttons. Restarting the vehicle restores normal function. The campaign is limited to certain model-year 2013-2015 vehicles. The Company is unaware of any related injuries, accidents or customer complaints. New software will be available when affected customers are advised of this action by FCA US. Service instructions are being sent to FCA US dealers today. Customers with questions may call the FCA US Customer Information Center at 1-800-853-1403.

Bob Lutz, UAW rep commend Chrysler for not bowing to NHTSA recall pressure [w/poll]

Mon, 10 Jun 2013

Bob Lutz, the well-known executive with a range of automakers including both General Motors and Chrysler, says he supports Chrysler for not caving under federal pressure to issue a recall on 2.7 million Jeep vehicles. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is arguing that the plastic fuel tanks positioned behind the axles of certain 1993-2004 Grand Cherokee models and 2002-2007 Liberty models may become punctured in a collision and potentially catch fire, so it has called upon Chrysler to recall the vehicles. 15 deaths and 46 injuries have been attributed to the issue. For its part, Chrysler has maintained that its models "met and exceeded" all safety applicable mandates when they were manufactured, and furthermore, they argue that the government agency's own data proves that the vehicles are no more dangerous than similar SUVs produced by other automakers at the time. As a result, it is taking the unusual step of refusing to recall the vehicles.
According to The Detroit News, Lutz says Chrysler is right to push back when the government is out of line. Lutz also said that he wished he could have done the same when NHTSA urged Chrysler to issue a recall on certain minivans back when he was with the automaker 25 years ago.
Meanwhile, United Auto Workers Vice President General Holiefield also defended Chrysler by saying, "Our legendary Jeeps are crafted with pride by our dedicated UAW American workforce who work tirelessly to ensure the utmost quality of each Jeep that is produced for customers."

Chrysler recalling hundreds of thousands of Jeep Grand Cherokee and Commander SUVs

Wed, 23 Jul 2014

The public might associated ignition switch recalls with General Motors - and with good cause - but that's not the only automaker calling its vehicles back in to fix that sort of issue.
Last month we reported that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration was investigating an array of Chrysler Group vehicles for electrical-related safety issues. The administration and Chrysler subsequently issued a recall for 700,000 Dodge Journey crossovers, Dodge Grand Caravan minivans and Chrysler Town & Country minivans. But while the Jeeps that were also under investigation were not covered in that recall, they are being addressed in a separate one now.
Although Chrysler reports that it is only aware of a single accident stemming from this issue, it is "committing now to conduct a recall out of an abundance of caution." The recall affects the 2006-2007 Jeep Commander and 2005-2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee, of which it reports there are 792,300 on the road: 649,900 in the United States, 28,800 in Canada, 12,800 in Mexico and a further 100,800 outside of North America.
