1963 Chrysler Imperial Crown 2 Dr Hardtop - 74,000 Miles - Beautiful on 2040-cars
Waukegan, Illinois, United States
|
I have decided to pass along custody of my beautiful 1963 Crown Imperial 2 Dr. Coupe. It's been very well maintained and cared for during it's 51 years. I've owned the car about 8 years. as I understand it this car spent most of it's life in Wyoming.
The good. It runs and drives beautifully. The engine runs excellent with no problems. It does not leak or burn oil beyond what is considered normal. the transmission works excellent... it shifts like it should. It does not leak beyond a few drips. Excellent suspension. The car steers straight and tight with no drift. Brakes work excellent. Power steering works excellent. It appears to have had one complete paint job at some point in it's life before I took custody of it and the body shows no signs of having rust or rust repair or having been in an accident. The doors, hood and trunk close solid, easy and tight. All chrome, exterior and interior, is original and excellent. All 6 power windows work well. All instrument lighting works (see photo). The headlights, parking lights, license plate light, backup lights and turn signals all work properly. The clock works. The radio works well and so does the foot controlled Town & Country tuning. The power seat works well. The power antenna works well. The rear air defroster works well. The seat upholstery and door panels are all original original and in excellent condition for their age. The carpeting is worn on the front drivers side and is slightly faded in areas. The trunk carpeting is new. The jack, spare tire and spare tire cover are complete. The 4 whitewall tire are in excellent condition and only have about 3,000 miles on them. The bad. The right top corner of the front seat back on the passenger side has been repaired. It's done very well but is slightly noticeable. The top corner left front seat back on the drivers side has a couple of small cracks starting. It should be fine as long as the sun is kept off of it. The top of the back seat under the rear window has had a few cracks repaired. The repair was not done as well as the seat corner but this area is not that visible. The wind lace that is on the rear edge of the door openings is frayed for about 4" on both sides. The wind lace on the front of the door openings has been replaced with new. The carpeting, which is original, is worn on the front drivers side and is faded in places. Both of the things that are near the door hinges that hold the doors open are missing. There is a small shallow dent about 3" by 1/2" in the front bumper just right of center. Overall the paint is very nice but is not show car perfect. There are a few typical chips that were touched up and are only noticeable from up close. At some point the ignition switch must have been changed because the key for the doors is different from the key for the ignition. There are two small "star" type chips that measure approximately 1/2" to 3/4" across in the windshield. They are stable and have not gotten any owrse the entire time I've owned the car. They are good candidates for the appropriate repair. All in all this is a beautiful mostly original survivor of an Imperial. In my opinion Imperials like this are way under valued and now is an excellent time to buy a nice one like this. I hate to part with this car but my situation demands it. Inspection and test drive are welcome. I'm in N.E. Illinois. The car is being sold as is with no implied or expressed warranty. Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer but I will be happy to assist however I can. A deposit of $500 will be due within 48 hours of the end of auction and the balance due at time of pickup with a cashier or bank check or cash.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota
Mon, 23 Jun 2014The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands
Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models
Wed, 05 Nov 2014As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.
Total auto recalls already on record pace in 2014
Tue, 08 Apr 2014If you've noticed that there have been more recalls than usual this year, you may be on to something. According to a report from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the US market is on pace to break a record for recalls. In 2013, 22 million cars were recalled. We're only a third of the way through 2014, though, and we've already halved that figure, with 11 million units recalled. That's wild.
Considering the past few months, it shouldn't be a surprise that General Motors is leading the charge, with six million of the 11 million units recalled coming from one of the General's four brands. Between truck recalls, CUV recalls and the ignition switch recall, 2014 hasn't been a great year for GM.
Other recall leaders include Nissan (one million Sentra and Altima sedans), Honda (900,000 Odyssey minivans), Toyota (over one million units in a few recalls), Volkswagen (150,000 Passat sedans), Chrysler (644,000 Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee SUVs) and most recently, Ford (434,000 units, the bulk of which were early Ford Escape CUVs). So while it's been a bad year for GM so far, its competitors aren't doing too well, either.
