1966 Chrysler 300 Pilarless 4 Door Nice Original Big Block Car Rust Free on 2040-cars
Santa Fe, New Mexico, United States

A fun reliable strong running car with only a few of the usual suspects with these old cars. New brakes 2000 milers ago which included new master cylinder, front and rear wheel cylinders, shoes all the way around. New plugs and points and tune up 200 miles ago. The thing runs great. Starts up first thing in the cold morning - automatic choke works great. When I bought the car it had an aftermarket air cleaner on it. The previous owner had the seats reupholstered in a very tasteful almost period looking fabric and vinyl. ZERO rust anywhere on the car. I believe it spent most of its life in Oklahoma and California before coming to New Mexico. One repaint that now has some areas of clearcoat peeling mostly on the hood and top of drivers rear fender. Tires have plenty of life left. No crash damage or dents. Some mile peppering to chrome taillights. Trunk area very nice with no stains to carpet. Non smoker car apparently most of its life. All glass is in great shape. Nothing is leaking and oil always looks clean. Dash has two splits - one on binnacle and other by speaker grill. Steering wheel has a few splits. The steering is telescopic and works great.
OK - the things that need work but no rush - drivers side rear window does not operate - bad switch or motor?. The front windows roll down quickly and nicely. The passenger rear is slow and occasionally needs assistance. The air conditioner does not blow cold. The headliner seam over the rear seat has a blown seam - a few safety pins keep it up. Some door seals are worn. Odometer stopped working the day I bought it making tons of noise then "pop" and all silent which is common for these cars with old grease and plastic gears - this is my third big chrysler and they all have failed on me eventually. Title says actual miles and if you get the plastic replacement gear you can continue logging miles on your new title. I'm sure there are some minor things I'm forgetting and will update as I remember but this car has been great. It doesnt smoke and pulls strong. I trust the car to cross the country so if you want to fly in and drive home it is completely reliable plus Santa Fe aint a bad place to visit! However, being an old car, I recommend a AAA membership and will not guarantee that something won't blow up down the road. Sold as-is where is and I will work with your shipper to get it loaded and document the process with photographs. I had previously posted the car and had a lot of overseas interest. Please, I'm happy to arrange and help with shipping to your port of choice here in the USA but I will not make arrangements to get the car overseas - that is your job. There were some misunderstandings in the prior auction that I would do this. I'm selling the car quite cheap and it's not worth the effort for me to micro-manage the shipment to europe. I have successfully shipped to ports of choice in the past and can hold the car for 2-3 weeks after the sale while you make arrangements. This is a great car and gets compliments and looks wherever I go in it. And, she is RUST FREE. |

Move over Audi, now Chrysler has a beef with Tesla's claims
Thu, 23 May 2013In the same week that Audi said "not so fast" to some claims from Tesla, Chrysler has responded to a new press release from the California-based EV-maker by saying "not exactly, Tesla." The statement, released through the company's blog, comes in response to Tesla claiming it was "the only American car company to have fully repaid the government." Chrysler notes that it, too, recently paid back Uncle Sam from its 2008 bailout. Similar to Audi's recent press release, which was eventually and mysteriously deleted from the German automaker's site, Chrysler is both right and wrong in its statement.
Tesla specifically said that it had paid back the Department of Energy loans that many automakers received - including Fisker and VPG Autos - while Chrysler's retort argues Tesla is "unmistakably incorrect" since it repaid the government in 2011 a full six years early. Technically, the statements from both automakers are correct, but Tesla's startup loan originated from the DoE, while Chrysler's loan came in bailout form from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP). Further, as The Detroit News notes, Chrysler's loan still cost taxpayers well over a billion dollars after all was said and done - those negative assets tied to "old Chrysler" in the bankruptcy did not require repayment.
Fiat buying rest of Chrysler in $4.35 billion deal, IPO avoided
Wed, 01 Jan 2014Chrysler will now become a wholly owned member of the Fiat family, as it's been announced that the 41.46-percent stake in the Auburn Hills, MI-based manufacturer owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA trust fund will be sold to the Italian company. Concluding the agreement will mark the closure of a piecemeal purchase process that could have resulted in an initial public offering.
The total cost of the sale will see the VEBA healthcare trust receive $4.35 billion, $3.65 billion of which will come from Fiat. $1.75 billion of that will be cash, while an additional $1.9 billion will be part of a "special distribution." An additional $700 million will be paid over four separate installments according to reports from Automotive News Europe and USA Today, although the shares will belong to Fiat following the first payment. The deal was reportedly initially struck on Sunday (though it is just being announced today), and is being portrayed as particularly good news for Fiat and Chrysler, which have now prevented the remaining shares going to the stock market in a UAW-forced IPO.
"The unified ownership structure will now allow us to fully execute our vision of creating a global automaker that is truly unique in terms of mix of experience, perspective and know-how, a solid and open organization that will ensure all employees a challenging and rewarding environment," Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne said in a statement.
Ford F-150 bumps Camry from top of Cars.com American Made Index
Tue, 25 Jun 2013With July 4th just around the corner, what better time could there be for Cars.com to announce that the Ford F-150 is the Most American car of 2013? This may be especially true since it was the Toyota Camry, a car produced by a company based in Japan, that had held the top spot from 2009 to 2012.
Cars.com compiles its Most American list by considering the amount of parts each vehicle uses that come from America, where it's final assembly takes place and how many units per year are sold. "While the assembly point and domestic parts content of the F-150 didn't change from 2012-2013, vehicle sales are responsible for bumping the F-150 to the top spot," according to Patrick Olsen, Editor-in-Chief of Cars.com.
As far as automakers go (as opposed to individual models), Toyota retains the top spot it held in 2012, with General Motors, Chrysler, Ford and Honda (in that order) rounding out the list. The motivation behind this list each year, according to Olsen, is "to help car shoppers understand that 'American-Made' extends beyond just the Detroit three" and because "a study we conducted in 2012 indicated that 25 percent of shoppers surveyed preferred to buy American."
