1970 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron survivor car. First the bad: This original comes with original dings, dents, and scratches that a car will pick up from use, but all are minor. Some cracks on the rear corner markers from what appears to be a light swipe - both sides, unfortunately. Headliner in the rear driver-side corner is beginning to come loose, but is intact. Vinyl top under the rear window was repaired (underneath has some surface rust but is solid). Some sealing repair to the trunk - rubber seal was replaced with an alternative that honestly isn't cutting it. Radio is not factory, and there is a crack in the steering wheel. Motor could use a tune-up, and the front end could use adjustment to the alignment. Some of the interior stitching in the seats is beginning to stretch, but there are no rips or tears. Valve cover gasket has a slight leak, and the radiator is not original, but is still a chrysler manufacture. NOW THE GOOD: The interior carpet is immaculate - nice and plush, and not faded or threadbare. Paint is original, everything works (we haven't tried the AC - probably it needs a recharge), including those pesky diaphragms for the headlights! Some great details included are that ALL EMBLEMS are intact! All the chrome is nice and shiny - "imperial" lettering is all there and looking good. Hubcaps all bear the eagle emblem. Original rubber floor mat with crest. Even the extra seat belts mounted over the front doors are there! Somewhere in this car's history, somebody had the wherewithal to get the underside coated, and the result is that aside from surface rust on exposed heavy metal pieces, the fuel tank, floor pans, and so on are rust free. The body panels are also rust free with the exception of some surface rust at a few of the seams. Power windows and seats, and a very smooth ride. We can account for half of the car's life. Alternator is new, and new brake master cylinder seal makes for good stops. We have in the past year driven the car for several hours at a time, and it was smooth all the way. It is a TRUE SURVIVOR, and a great, rare find - one of only about 11,000 made. Odometer reads 21K, but likely it has flipped once and is 121K - 200k would make a lot more wear. Take a look at the pics - there is much to see and scrutinize, but you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. Thanks for looking!

Chrysler unveils Dodge Charger SRT8 392, 300 SRT Concept to the faithful
Tue, 26 Mar 2013Our man Steven J. Ewing recently spent some time in a 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Super Bee, and while he found a lot to love - particularly underhood - he didn't care for the sedan's retro-steeped visuals, preferring the standard SRT's look instead. Perhaps he'll dig this throwback look instead. Over the weekend, Chrysler unveiled this handsome 2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 392 Appearance Package at the eighth annual Spring Festival of LXs, a gathering of Charger, Challenger and Chrysler 300 enthusiasts held in Irvine, California.
Unveiled by SRT CEO Ralph Gilles in front of an estimated 2,500 Spring Fest goers, the 392 features 20-inch Black Vapor Chrome alloys set off by a black-painted roof panel, hood bulge, spoiler and mirror caps. Additional exterior changes include model-specific striping and badging along with the requisite serialized dash plaque inside. The 392 will be available in five colors - Billet Silver Metallic, Bright White, Hemi Orange, Plum Crazy and the TorRed pain seen here.
Performance-wise, the 392 remains unchanged from standard SRT8s, but that's hardly a slight - the 6.4 liter Hemi V8 continues to churn out 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Like other 2013 SRT8s, the 392 benefits from the institution of a new launch control system and a retuned three-mode adaptive suspension.
Fiat Chrysler's London offices will be small, with financial focus
Tue, 20 May 2014Fiat Chrysler's decision to locate its new corporate headquarters in jolly old London won't herald a sprawling relocation effort. Instead, it's very likely that the FCA outfit will be a small one, primarily focused on finance.
The report comes from Automotive News Europe, which claims FCA's London office will employ about 50 people with backgrounds in finance. CEO Sergio Marchionne and Fiat Group Chairman John Elkann will both have offices at the corporate headquarters, as well.
ANE cites an anonymous source that claims the people employed at the London office will focus primarily on treasury operations. It's unlikely that FCA will take on any additional employees specifically for its UK offices. That said, FCA isn't likely to downsize either its Turin or Auburn Hills offices once London comes online.
Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans
Fri, 06 Jun 2014Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.
