Additional Comments:
On the date appraised, this 2009 Chrysler 300C represents an excellent example of a modern custom 4-Dr Convertible conversion.
While retaining the basic external looks and characteristics of this 4-year-old 300C, this custom '09 300C has been custom modified with the addition of a state-of-the-art convertible soft top which includes floor pan re-engineering, door frame and side glass modifications.
As noted on the extensive Vehicle Option pages, and as depicted on the many enclosed digital photographs, this '09 300C came from the factory with a 5.7 liter 370hp fuel injected V8 Hemi engine, automatic transmission, leather interior, wood trim, navigation and chrome alloy wheels.  Chrysler has never produced a late model 300 series convertible.
The caliber of all work performed on this vehicle is of the highest quality, the entire vehicle both highly detailed as well as being extremely well finished by Convertible Builders, LLC of High Springs, FL.
The fair market value of this 2009 Chrysler 300C is based on the average asking price of suitable donor cars and credited for the cost to convert a 4-Dr Sedan to a Convertible.  The fair market value does not include tax, title or registration fees.


Interesting side note: This car is SUPER unique.  In fact, the Pope himself ordered one.  The company that customizes these only does about 8 per year, and this was one of them.  Here's an interesting pic of the current Pope next to his convertible Chrysler 300.

Here is a link to Drop Top Customs, which is the company that customized this vehicle. To get a Chrysler 300 customized like this would cost you $20,000 for the customization alone, not to mention the cost of the car itself.

Tier 1 suppliers call GM the worst OEM to work with

Mon, 12 May 2014

Among automakers with a big US presence, General Motors is the worst to work for, according to a new survey from Tier 1 automotive suppliers, conducted by Planning Perspectives, Inc.
The Detroit-based manufacturer, which has been under fire following the ignition switch recall and its accompanying scandal, finished behind six other automakers with big US manufacturing operations. Suppliers had issues with trust and communications, as well as intellectual property protection. GM was also the least likely to allow suppliers to raise their prices in the face of unexpected increases in material cost, all of which contributed to 55 percent of suppliers saying their relationship with GM was "poor to very poor."
GM's cross-town competitors didn't fare much better. Chrysler finished in fifth place, ahead of GM and behind Dearborn-based Ford, which was passed for third place this year by Nissan. Toyota took the top marks, while Honda captured second place.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?

Fri, 27 Sep 2013

Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.
