Hello, this auction is for a "B" titled 1968 Imperial Crown four door hardtop.
It was purchase from the original owners family in 1996 and he was a military man. The title is branded "Out of Country" because he used this car in the Sudan.
It was built for export and he brought it home with him.
It s in very good, original condition- Body, Chrome, Interior, Stainless trim, Glass, Top. The tires are also very good. There is no body work that we are aware of and the entire outside of the car has minimal wear, which is appropriate to it's 47,000 original miles. It is equipped with a 440 cu inch motor and coupled to a 727 transmission. It may or may not have a posi-traction rear. It does have a factory type trailer hitch. The rugs are good in the iterior as well as in the trunk. There is an original triple stripe whitewall tire in the trunk.
The car has been owned by me since 1995 or 1996 and was purchased from the owners estate. The car was placed into storage when I bought it. At that time it was running a little rough and in need of a carburator rebuild. I started the car this week and it does need the carb replaced or rebuilt as it starts, stalls and sometimes back fires. The gas has been treated over the years with STABIL but it is probably fouled and suspect of the poor running. It will start and tries to idle but will stall if not given a little pressure on the gas pedal.
The two rear power windows are stuck in the closed posistion and the power antenna activates but doesn't raise. I do ot know if the air conditioning needs a charge or not. The car is equipped with cruise control/auto pilot but has not been tested.
This car was purchased for $5000,00 and not driven by me, it was put into storage and not used so it is in need of some basic CPR to run and operate as it should.
It is being sold 100% AS IS.

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.
Chrysler files for IPO
Tue, 24 Sep 2013Chrysler has had a lot of owners over the past few years alone, from Daimler to Cerberus to Fiat and the federal government. But it could be poised to gain some more before long. Like, a lot more.
The automaker has just announced that it has filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to issue an Initial Public Offering of common stocks. Chrysler hasn't revealed how many shares will be offered and at what price, however the shares in question will not come out of Fiat's approximate 60% majority shareholding but instead out of the 40% minority stock held by the UAW's VEBA retiree healthcare trust. Reports suggest that the IPO, which is being handled by JP Morgan, could encompass approximately 16% of Chrysler stock, initially valued at approximately $100 million.
Lest you think this is all part of Sergio Marchionne's grand plan to consolidate Chrysler and Fiat, the two auto groups over which he presides, think again. The filing, which still needs to be approved by the SEC, comes at the insistence of the UAW. Negotiations between Marchionne's management team and the union over Fiat's acquisition of the VEBA shares have stalled. If they manage to come to an agreement, however, the IPO would likely be taken off the table. So don't go calling your broker just yet, but you can analyze the official announcement below.
Chrysler called out over lackluster Ram Runner by racer who helped develop it
Fri, 11 Apr 2014Fans of off-roading and desert blasting might recall that Chrysler offers an aftermarket conversion that can turn a Ram 1500 into a road-legal desert racer, called the Ram Runner. The kit, sold through Mopar, includes some significant suspension upgrades, body tweaks and a brawnier cat-back exhaust for the truck's 5.7-liter V8.
Considering all of this, comparisons with the almighty Ford F-150 SVT Raptor are common. Among the off-road community, that makes these two a sort of Chevrolet Camaro and Ford Mustang for people that prefer driving on dirt. In the Race-Dezert forum, the discussion as to which truck was better was proceeding as normal - Ram fans said their piece and Ford fans said theirs. Then, a man named Kent Kroeker offered up his two cents.
See, Kroeker is a Baja racer, and the man that helped develop the Ram Runner. Despite his association with the truck, though, he had some less than kind words for Chrysler and the Ram Runner.
