1983 Chrysler Imperial Base Hardtop 2-door 5.2l on 2040-cars
Rose Hill, North Carolina, United States
|
Here is a well kept example of an early 80's era Imperial. It is in very good condition inside and out. Interior still smells like a new car. Here's the good and the not so good.
Interior - When i sat in this car i was sold. The seats are extremely comfortable and the shag carpet makes you want to drive barefoot. The 'Mark Cross" edition leather is very pliable with minimal wear/marks. All seat functions are in working order. The power windows roll up and down with ease. All interior lighting/lenses work and are in good shape. The radio works, and has a "rear boost" feature that amplifies the rear speakers. Power antenna works fine. The cassette player does not work. The car came with a chrysler cassette tape which i have yet to hear. haha. Power locks work. Power side mirrors motors work, but there are a few positions that need a little push with the finger to get moving again. The instrument panel reads ok, but there are some digits that could be more clear. More noticable in the mileage and gas than the speedo. It comes with a Spare instrument panel. Exterior- Very straight with minimal rust. a few dings that are hard to see unless you catch it in the right light. All lenses are good; retractable headlight mechanisms work. Bumpers are straight and have nice chrome. The car has a "Zeibart" undercoating package. Frame and floorboards are solid. Has new rear metal brake lines and new front and rear rubber flex lines. New muffler and tailpipe. All original drivetrain never modified otherwise. The car came with front and rear anti-sway bars. The hubcaps are in very good shape. The 318 was changed over from the EFI to a 4bbl carb setup. A thermoquad sits on top. Otherwise there are only minimal changes from original. The A/C needs to be recharged. The car has the components for the cruise control but they are not installed. Included with the car are a new gas tank, sending unit, lines and straps for anyone wanting to do a complete changeover like they would have done at the dealer. Not necessary for regular driving, just what came with the car when i bought it. The carb needs to be tuned better. It has a hesitation during first during acceleration, and sometimes will stall, but not often. Id opt for an Edlebrock carb in place of the thermoquad. I think this would also solve this problem. The tires are old and have good tread, but the car really ought to have some new ones. Any other info or pics available upon request. |

Chrysler's Hurricane engine detailed ahead of 2016 launch
Fri, 20 Sep 2013We've been hearing distant rumblings about Chrysler's new Hurricane engine for some time now, but details have been hard to come by. Now, Automotive News is adding some specifics to the scuttlebutt, citing Chrysler documents. According to the industry publication, the Hurricane will blow onto the scene in 2016, but it's not an all-new engine. Rather, it will be rooted in the company's existing 2.0-liter four-cylinder Tigershark powerplant (shown above), albeit with "many new technologies to achieve excellent fuel economy."
It's not clear what sort of technologies Chrysler is referring to, but the Hurricane is expected to continue to use an aluminum block, and the finished product is expected to generate even better figures than the existing 2.0-liter's 160 horsepower and 148 pound-feet of torque (as found in the Dodge Dart). Automotive News notes that the updated 2.4-liter Tigershark debuting in the entry-level 2014 Jeep Cherokee has its basis in the 2.0-liter lump, but unlike the smaller engine, it's been fitted with MultiAir2 electrohydraulic variable valve timing to realize 184 hp and 171 lb-ft and greater efficiency.
Perhaps the Hurricane will incorporate the latter in its bag of tricks? Either way, we're hoping for a more generous torque curve than the what's in the current 2.0-liter Tigershark, which is something of a slug in the Dart - even for a base economy compact.
Minivan market not what it used to be, but margins make up for it
Thu, 05 Jun 2014
Residual values for last year's minivans are higher than they were in 2000.
Much like the station wagon was the shuttle of Baby Boomer generation, the minivan has been the primary means of transport for Generations X and Y. Just as the boomers abandoned the Country Squire, though, those kids that were toted around in Grand Caravans and Windstars are adults, and they certainly don't want to be seen in the cars their parents drove.
Chrysler 300 diesel could get green light
Wed, 03 Apr 2013Word has it Chrysler is keen to shove its new turbo diesel V6 into a range of models. Wards Auto reports Chrysler President and CEO Saad Chehab has made it clear the automaker is investigating the possibility of using the 3.0-liter oil-burner in the 300. While speaking at an Automotive Press Association luncheon, Chehab said, "It's a matter of how much the customer is willing to pay for that premium. That's the only issue with it."
The Chrysler 300 is sold as the Lancia Thema in Europe complete with a diesel of its very own, and since the Jeep Grand Cherokee is now available with the diesel V6 here in the States, it only makes sense that the engine could potentially show up on the 300 order sheet. Opting for the 3.0 V6 in the Jeep Grand Cherokee will set you back an additional $4,500, however.
Chehab also said the engine could make an appearance in the next-generation Chrysler 200, which is set to debut next year.
