1959 Chrysler Imperial With 413 And Push Button Trans. Solid Project No Reserve on 2040-cars
Concord, California, United States
|
You are bidding on a great classic car. It was pulled out a storage barn in Northern California two weeks ago. The only thing I have done is lube the hinges on the hood and doors. As well as adding a little Marvel oil to the cylinders. And added junk tires that hold air to make it a roller. The 413 v8 engine was not stuck and does turn over but does not run. The buttons on the transmission work freely. There are no working brakes at all. The interior is complete and is functional but it will need a lot of restoration. The passenger side inner door handle is broken off. The rear door locks appear to be stuck or I just don't know how they work. It has the rare swivel seats in the front! The dash is a work of art. There are some dash cracks and the steering wheel leather is peeling. There is a key for the ignition but it doesn't seen to work on the doors. The locks may just need lubrication. They want to turn but not quite and I don't want to force them. The mileage appears to be original. The Body is very solid There is a dent on the passenger side rocker. There was some body work done that has started to peel off revealing surface rust. It appears to only be surface rust from poor prep. The only rot I have found is on the rear quarter by the passenger side tire. Everything else appears to be surface. The front bumper is bent but can be easily straightened. The floors and trunk are solid. The trunk liners are even still in place. The glass is not cracked. The trim looks to be all there except for the trunk lid handle and trunk key lock. It also has a cool factor of about 9.2 on the groovy scale...This car is a work of art.!!!!! This is a non-running project.....it has no brakes....it has some rust....it has some dents....it has some other unknown issues....Please be realistic and bid accordingly!!! Look closely at the pictures and ask all questions prior to bidding. If you have less than 5 feedbacks please contact me prior to your bid being placed. I have also included a picture of a two door coupe I may be listing later depending on the interest. Local delivery is available for a fee. This is a no reserve auction. Low starting price. I don't know what it is worth, so there is no buy it now or early end. Thank you. |

2015 Chrysler 200S AWD
Mon, 02 Jun 2014I love road trips. Honestly, one of the best parts about this job is the freedom we're given to experience the open road, whether at new car launches or while bombing around with whatever we're testing on our home turf. But the longer-form road trip is equally special to me, and it's something I'm always eager to do. Air travel stinks - that's not news. So if I can drive, I will. And without our dear TSA to fight with, I can pack all the chainsaws and gallon jugs of chocolate milk that I want.
So when it came time to attend the 2014 New York Auto Show this past April, I thought, "Why not drive?" Typically, the route from downtown Detroit to Manhattan is something like 10 hours, but I decided to bake some extra time into the journey and planned for the vast majority of my travels to be off the beaten path. Doing the "avoid expressways" route allows you to see parts of America you've never encountered before, and to meet people with stories and opinions that you've never heard. It's a great way to travel if you have the time. There's something uniquely serene about seeing the country in a great car on a great road.
Let's talk about that "great car" line for a moment. Ideally, long stretches of backroads are best done in something fast, comfortable and involving - a Porsche 911 comes to mind. Or, another school of thought says to pick some fun little spitfire like the always-lovely Mazda MX-5 Miata, for top-down, sun-drenched fun. But for this trip, I chose the 2015 Chrysler 200, in fully loaded S guise with all-wheel drive. Now, settle down; I'm not about to compare it to either the Porsche or Mazda. The point I'm making is this: after 1,500 test miles under my butt, I can emphatically state that the new 200 is indeed a great car in its own right.
2015 Chrysler 200 snags EPA ratings of 18 mpg city and 29 highway
Tue, 25 Mar 2014While Chrysler hasn't officially announced fuel economy figures for its new 200 sedan, the information for one model has just leaked out thanks to the US Department of Energy's FuelEconomy.gov website. It certified the 200 with the 295-horsepower and 262-pound-feet 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, nine-speed automatic and all-wheel drive as getting 18-miles-per-gallon city, 29-mpg highway and 22-mpg combined.
Last year's front-wheel drive 200 with a less-powerful version of the Pentastar was rated at 19-mpg city, 29-mpg highway and 22-mpg combined. That means that buyers are getting more power and all-wheel drive traction at almost no loss in economy. However, compared to current, all-wheel drive sedan competitors, the Chrysler comes in the middle. The Ford Fusion with all-wheel drive with the 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder has 240 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque is somewhat down on power but bests it in economy at 22-mpg city, 31-mpg highway and 25-mpg combined. The current Subaru Legacy 3.6R loses in both metrics with 256 hp and 247 lb-ft and a rating of 18-mpg city, 25-mpg highway and 20-mpg combined. However, Subaru claims the next generation with the same engine will boast 20-mpg city, 28-mpg highway and 23-mpg combined. But these numbers are just estimates from the automaker at the moment, and they haven't yet been certified by the EPA yet.
The numbers for the four-cylinder and front-wheel drive 200 drivetrains are not yet available, but Chrysler has been promising the sedan gets an estimated 35-mpg highway with the 184-hp and 173-lb-ft Tigershark 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. We won't know for sure until it's certified, but we'll keep you posted.
Mopar opening Custom Shop at Cobo
Thu, 09 Jan 2014While other automakers have been streamlining their brand portfolio, the Chrysler Group has shown no such signs. It's got the Dodge, Chrysler and Jeep brands, plus Fiat, and it recently broke out its SRT and Ram nameplates into their own brands. And you can bet each will have its own presence at the Detroit Auto Show this year. But don't forget Mopar. The company's performance parts division is getting its own display at Cobo this year, and it'll be the largest in the brand's history.
The Mopar Custom Shop is poised to take up 5,500 square-feet of Cobo floor space, further expanding on last year's Mopar Garage. If the image above offers any indication, the show stand will include a Dodge Challenger, SRT Viper, Fiat 500L, Jeep Wrangler, Jeep Cherokee, Ram 3500 and what looks like (but isn't identified in the press release below as) a Chrysler 200 (which may be replaced by a 2014 model), all augmented with Mopar parts and accessories.
Visitors will also be able to use pre-programmed iPads to configure Chrysler Group vehicles with a wide range of accessories - a portfolio that grows by 1,500 new parts every year and tops over 100 add-ons for every new vehicle Chrysler launches.
