This vehicle has an interesting story to go along with it. The car was found under a fig tree where it had been sitting for 30 or so years. The tree had to be cut away to even see the car. Bees had made a hive inside the left side of the trunk but the bees have all been removed and the hive is gone. The only thing left is the rusty trunk floor and left quarter.

This vehicle needs a total restoration and is mostly complete, missing only a few things.The car does have some rusty parts and dents in a few places. I put an electric fuel pump on the car to see if it would start and it did. It smoked for a little while but it went away and the car seems to run really good. The driveshaft is not in the car( it is in the trunk), so I have not driven the car, the push buttons for the transmission seem to be stuck in reverse (the trans is turning when the engine is running) so that will need to be addressed as well. I have not pulled the carpet back to see what the floors look like but I will if you need pics of those areas. I took as many pics as I could so you could see all the areas. The frame rails look to be in good shape, all the glass is in good shape, I haven't noticed any dents in the trim except for the broken 300 medallions on the rear quarters. The bumpers will need to be stripped and rechromed. I have another right door that is complete that will go with the car (in case you don't want to fix the dent in the current door). The taillights are broken as is the left taillight trim. All the pics of the underside of the car show only surface rust that may/may not be an issue to clean up. When I took the pics the car was running so I took a pic of the instrument panel. The charging system was working, the oil pressure was up and the temp gauge was working. I did replace the water pump and I put a used starter in the car so it would run without any problems. The fuel line is not hooked up and the brake master cylinder is empty. I do not know the condition of the fuel tank but I would bet it needs replacing. 

I have a number of parts that go with the car: One extra door glass, the bumper jack, one horn, the door previously mentioned, water pump pulley, two outer mirrors, one ashtray, 6 boxes that contain seals and springs for the wheel cylinders, the "Chrysler" plate for the left front fender, an extra hood latch, an extra trunk latch, two misc pieces for an instrument panel and a front turn signal housing. I also have a push button mechanism for the dash (transmission i believe).

Please ask any and all questions before you bid, also if you need/want pictures of any other area that I did not cover let me know and I will post them for you.

Car has a clean/clear title. Car is being offered as is without any warranty expressed or implied. 

THE AREA WHERE THE NUMBERS ARE STAMPED HAS AN "S" ON IT. I LOOKED THAT "S" UP AND IT MAY BE THAT THIS ENGINE WAS A WARRANTY REPLACEMENT ENGINE.

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.

2015 Chrysler 200

Thu, 20 Mar 2014

For the last seven years, the Chrysler Sebring/200 has been a car that few people have managed to say anything good about. When you saw one on the road, it was probably silver and you probably assumed it was rented - especially if it was a convertible. In fact, this writer has never been in one. Ever. I've only watched them go by, trailed always by a roiling wake of invective and vituperation, a lone defender or two asserting meekly and in vain, "It's actually not that bad..."
With roughly 2.3-million units sold every year in the midsize sedan segment where the 200 lives, even tallying 125,476 sales in 2012 (when the 200 was the best-selling car in the Chrysler Group) was never going to be enough. This is the brand's volume offering and the entry point for new-car buyers before they move up to something like a full-size or a crossover. Chrysler's 2011 facelift and rebranding program was a pretty valiant attempt at putting lipstick on a Sebring, but the automaker needed to do a lot better, in every way to command more consideration, sales, respect and resale value - and everyone at The Pentastar knew it.
Enter the 2015 Chrysler 200. This is the sedan that "charts a new course for the Chrysler brand," from its hovering wing badge on the grille to the one billion dollars invested in the company's suburban Detroit Sterling Heights Assembly Plant, including more than doubling the number of quality control inspectors in the new quality assurance center.

2015 Chrysler 300 looks to recapture its mojo in LA

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

Chrysler's 300 sedan has never been a shrinking violet, but it arguably lost a bit of swagger when its second-generation model bowed. There was no way that an evolutionary design could ever upend the automotive establishment the way the original 2005 model did, but even so, something was clearly left on the table when the 2011 model bowed.
You don't have take our word for it - Chrysler knows it, too. Reflecting back upon the second-generation model's styling today, Ralph Gilles, Chrysler's senior vice president of design is refreshingly candid, telling Autoblog, "Our previous generation of leaders didn't understand the car very well, and kind of forced this front end on us." For 2015, Gilles and Co. have worked to recapture some of the 2005 design's lightning in a bottle. In Gilles' words, the brief for the refreshed 2015 model was to "give the car the attitude it deserves... up the attitude, up the presence."
Visually, the new 300 initially appears very similar to the current car, but closer inspection and side-by-side comparisons reveal countless changes, the most noticeable being a much larger front grille (by about 30 percent), redone light fixtures and a 'Mobius-strip' lower fascia that picks up where the new 200 left off. The cabin has been upgraded, too, with a standard seven-inch display in the gauge cluster, the latest UConnect infotainment system and improved material choices.
