1985 CHRYSLER WOODIE CONVERTIBLE
TOWN AND COUNTRY TURBO The Wade Williams Collection I am selling my 40 year classic and special interest car collection, from Corvettes to Chryslers. This offering is a 1985 Chrysler Turbo Town and Country Woodie Convertible with a special feature. It belonged to a jet plane mechanic at the old TWA overhaul base here in Kansas City. Mark rebuilt the turbo and transmission making it more powerful than the stock vehicle from Chrysler. It's excellent on gas and also is fast. I added the car to my collection on January 8, 2003 and it has been stored inside since and driven from time to time. The gas tank has been cleaned and coated and the fuel lines replaced.. I added a "Continental kit" on the rear of the car which harks back to the 40's sporty style. . It is a beautiful addition and makes the car longer in the rear. The classic louvered hood rams more air into the turbo and gives it a racier look. The white convertible top and boot are in excellent condition. The white exterior color was the most popular. It has chrome wire hubcaps . This car is unique and you will not see one unless you see them in the movies (Planes-Train & Automobiles) or TV ( Seinfeld ) or happen to live down the street. The leather seats are not torn. They could use a good cleaning or a leather spray coating which would make them look new. The carpets are fine. I believe all the accessories work but am not positive. The AC may need a charge. In any event the cars is drives well and turn heads whever it goes. It's great on gas In the four years Chrysler made these Town and Country woodie convertibles a little over 3000 were made. Few remain. They fell victim to the newer J-bodied GTC convertibles with 6 cylinder engines. These unique and rare K-bodied convertibles are becoming highly collectible and are still within a reasonable price range. They will double and triple in value in a few years. Definately a classic already and a fun car . As an investment this is the time to buy one. It is a buyer's market. Buy it for Xmas, enjoy it in the spring. There is a low reserve on this car. I want to sell it. It will sell at a bargain to a lucky buyer.This one is much less than others recently advertised and is more desirable than a 1983 model. The winning bidder must make a non-refundable $ 500.00 deposit via Pay Pal within 49 hours of winning. The balance must be paid withing seven (7) days of the close of the auction either by cash or bank wire prior to picking up the car. Buyer must arrange to pick up the car in Kansas City. All sales final. Car sold "as-is" with no warranty or guarantee of any kind. The car can be inspected in Kansas City prior to the final bid by contacting the seller. One the car is sold it belongs to the highest bidder . It is not sold "on approval" and cannot be returned. Buyer must arrange shipping from Kansas City. This car is a bargain, a classic and well worth considering. |

NHTSA looking into non-Takata airbag shrapnel case
Tue, Jul 14 2015The global airbag inflator recall from Takata has been one of the biggest topics in auto safety for months. Now, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is opening a preliminary evaluation into the components from Arc Automotive to investigate whether two reported ruptures and two injuries signal a wider problem. So far, only the 2002 Chrysler Town & Country and 2004 Kia Optima are believed to be affected. If a safety campaign is deemed necessary, it could cover an estimated 420,000 of the minivans and 70,000 of the Korean sedans. NHTSA first noticed these ruptures in December 2014. The agency received a complaint of a 2009 case in Ohio about the bursting of the driver's side inflator in a 2002 Town & Country. According to the report, the incident broke the woman's jaw and sent shrapnel into her chest. The government investigated the case, and this was found to be the only known occurrence in these vehicles. The analysis indicated the part's gases were possibly blocked somehow and caused the component to explode. FCA US spokesperson Eric Mayne told Autoblog that the company is "cooperating fully" with NHTSA. "Also, we no longer use that inflator," he said. A second incident came to NHTSA's attention in June 2015 with the driver's side rupture in a 2004 Optima in New Mexico. The agency lists fewer details about the case, and a root cause isn't known. This is also the only currently known example in a Kia vehicle. According to a statement from Kia to Autoblog, "We are taking this matter very seriously and support NHTSA's action and will continue working cooperatively with the agency and suppliers throughout the process." Arc's components are sealed within a steel housing that's meant to protect them from "external atmospheric conditions," according to NHTSA. Multiple suppliers also use them. In the Chrysler, the airbag module came from Key Safety Systems and from Delphi in the Kia. In a statement to Autoblog the company said, "We have received NHTSA's notification and are cooperating fully with its Preliminary Evaluation." At this time, NHTSA admits that it doesn't know for certain whether these two cases are linked. The agency is conducting this preliminary evaluation to learn more.
Detroit 3 and UAW could create healthcare pool
Thu, Sep 3 2015Healthcare costs continue to multiply in the US with no clear end in sight, but the United Auto Workers and the Big Three are negotiating a way to rapid growth under control. As part of the latest contract talks, the union has an idea to create a healthcare pool across all of its members at Ford, General Motors, and FCA US. If accepted, the company-wide integration would spread out the expenses and create a massive member base for bargaining with insurance companies. Both Ford and GM are at least considering the proposal, according to The Detroit News, and FCA US might be on board, as well. The idea is the work of current UAW president Dennis Williams and is based on the similar pool for the Voluntary Employee Beneficiary Association for retirees. "I've walked through this several ways; I just don't have any other answer," Williams said to The Detroit News. "I do believe this will work. It's worked with the VEBA." Williams was elected UAW president last year and won by an overwhelming margin. He vowed no more concessions to automakers. In addition to healthcare, the two-tier wage system is another major talking point in the contract negotiation because it gives fewer benefits to entry-level workers. Higher wages are also a request. Healthcare costs are a massive expense for automakers and are expected to reach over $2 billion this year, according to The Detroit News. The payments are up nearly 50 percent or more in just the last four years.
Preserving automotive history costs big bucks
Wed, 29 Jan 2014
$1.8 million is spent each year to maintain GM's fleet of 600 production and concept cars.
When at least two of the Detroit Three were on the verge of death a few years back, one of the tough questions that was asked of Ford, General Motors and Chrysler execs - outside of why execs were still taking private planes to meetings - was why each company maintained huge archives of old production and concept vehicles. GM, for example, had an 1,100-vehicle collection when talk of a federal bailout began.
