1967 Chrysler Imperial Convertible Very Rare 1 Of 557 on 2040-cars
Franconia, New Hampshire, United States
Chrysler only made 557 Imperial convertibles in 1967. This is a rare car and quite a stunning deisgn and very attractive with long strong horizontal character lines. It is powered by a 440 4 bbl and will get up and go if asked, although it is most enjoyable on the boulevard showing off its leather interior with velvet inserts. Tilt and Telescopic steering, a covered compartment for the radio. The doors and dashboard are finished in walnut (which needs refinishing). It is enjoyable to drive this 5,000 pound, 19'6" cruiser and yes, it loves gas too! This rare convertible has had a new paint job but still needs restoration. The paint is new and adequate, but not concours level. There is new carpet, but the interior needs attention - some trim parts missing, some walnut inserts need restoration. Car runs, top goes up and down, electric windows work. Needs new top - currently doesn't close all the way. Tires are fine, all hub caps and trim is there. This car runs and drives fine but needs a thorough go through - maybe not a restoration, but there are a number of items that need attention, especially in the interior. All parts are believed to be present. The mileage is believed to be accurate, but accuracy is unknown. Needs new battery, probably a brake job. There are no titles in New Hampshire for cars older than 25 years so you will get a bill of sale only. eBay makes you put something in the title category, but I do not have a title. If you're going to do a real restoration on this beauty, you can expect a retail value in the 30's or 40's depending on how much work you do. I am also selling a package of Imperial Parts concurrently with this car sale which you may find useful in a complete restoration. I am also selling low mileage Imperial Coupe if you really want to start a collection. 105,305 Miles on odometer

Bailout dealership cuts did their job as profits surge
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Almost five years after US taxpayers bailed out General Motors and Chrysler, a large majority of their slimmed-down dealership networks are posting soaring profits, Bloomberg reports, and contributing to the US auto industry on track this year to deliver 15.4 million vehicles, the most since 16.15 million were delivered in 2007.
Consider another important figure: Bloomberg says that more than 90 percent of GM dealerships are profitable, compared to about half of them in 2008 and 2009. At the start of 2013, GM had 4,355 US dealerships and Chrysler had about 2,600. Compare that with just a few years ago, when GM had 6,246 dealers in 2008, while Chrysler had 3,200 in 2009.
As part of their bankruptcy restructuring, both GM and Chrysler decided that their retail networks contained far too many dealerships and insisted that they be slimmed down. The resultant dealership terminations followed by a rebounding auto market - in part due to better new GM and Chrysler vehicles - have increased the number of sales per dealership to record levels. Many dealers are taking advantage of increasing profits and investing in facility renovations and updates, such as Chrysler dealership owner David Kelleher. He's spending $2 million to expand his store.
This 1958 Chrysler Imperial Ultra 7 Pointer 1 is Japan's Batmobile
Sun, 02 Mar 2014It might be sacrilegious to admit among some auto enthusiasts, but there's more to driving than performance and speed. Sometimes it can be a matter of love, as it is for Yasushi Shiroi, who has spent the last 21 years building a faithful replica of a car from a '60s Japanese sci-fi show.
Shiroi's car is the star of the latest video from The Aficionauto and it's truly a labor of love. This machine, which is sort of like a Japanese Batmobile, is based on a 1958 Chrysler Imperial and is designed to recreate a car called the Pointer 1 from the series Ultra 7. The latter was apparently hugely popular when it ran in Japan in 1967 and 1968, and told the story a seven-member team that fought off aliens attacking Earth. While the car in the series never actually ran, Shiroi wanted one that would.
The Pointer 1 has been in constant development since Shiroi has owned it. All of the body modifications have been done in steel, but mechanically, it remains something of a mess. This replica might be slow - and to many people, ugly - but it has brought its owner about as much happiness as a car can, and that's something worth celebrating. Scroll down to check it out.
eBay Find of the Day: 1979 Chrysler ETV-1 electric car prototype
Mon, 27 Jan 2014Electric cars may be reaching their time in the sun with successes like the Tesla Model S, but the basic concept goes back to practically beginning of motoring. EVs also saw a brief renaissance in the 1970s when automakers were trying find a way around rising fuel prices. This 1979 Chrysler ETV-1 concept for sale on eBay Motors is a great example from that era.
Built in 1979, designers hoped the ETV-1 would preview what an electric car would look like in 1985. The base price was slated to start at $6,400, or the rough equivalent of $20,536, which seems like an optimistic price. General Electric created the ETV-1's powertrain, and Chrysler was in charge of styling. At the time, the Department of Energy called it "the first advanced four-passenger subcompact experimental electric car."
While it seems ancient compared to today's EVs, the ETV-1 featured regenerative braking and a computer-controlled electric motor. Chrysler reported a 100-mile range at 45 miles per hour with two passengers in the car. The range fell to 75 miles with four passengers. Acceleration was not brisk with Chrysler claiming the run to 30 mph in 9 seconds. Power was stored in 18 lead-acid batteries, and a full charge took 10 hours from a home outlet.
