I purchased this car on ebay in June of 2007 from Indianapolis Indiana and drove it home to the Houston, TX area. I bought this car because of the great memories I had with my last '74 Imperial. It really is a pleasure to drive. According to the previous owner, this car was sold new at Tom O'Brien Chrysler Plymouth in Indianapolis and remained in the garage of the original owner in the small town of Needham until 2003. A Derby car guy had it for a short time and then listed it on Ebay in December 2003 when the previous owner purchased it. He had it from 90,000 miles through 106,130 miles. The previous owner kept good service records. I have receipts for service records. At some point he had the exhaust dualed out with flow master mufflers installed. After I purchased it that was one of my first items to address. I don't think a luxury car should sound like a race car so I had the mufflers replaced with regular high flow ones. It is not as quiet as from the factory because I didn't put resonators on it, but it sounds nicer than the flow masters. At the time I purchased it, the A/C was not functioning. The hoses were leaking and I had the hoses rebuilt in Tulsa, OK on the way back to Houston, while staying with a friend. At that time I installed a new compressor and clutch, expansion valve, and bought a new filter/drier. The condenser had powder in it from the drier, so I ordered a new one online and installed that once I got home. I didn't like the factory radio, so I installed a newer Chrysler factory Infinity radio with cassette and CD and Infinity speakers. No wiring was cut and I am including the original and a spare factory radio if you want to easily convert it back. The power antenna has stopped working also. Factory jack and lug wrench are like new. Headliner has two spots that are torn a little. The front windows work but the rear ones don't. The motors work, but the plastic gears in the motors break and it is a relatively easy fix. I recently saw the parts online for about $15 each. I purchased 5 new American Classic tires with the correct width whitewall and put them inside the car for a few days until I had time to get them installed. Some of the black from the tires bled through the protective plastic they were wrapped in, onto the rear seats, headrests and armrests. After seeing this, I turned my back on this car and didn't do anything else to it for about 4 years. I just washed the blue protective coating off the tires for the pictures. I have only put 1579 miles on this car since I bought it a little over 7 years ago and about 1050 of those miles were from Indianapolis to Houston via Tulsa, OK. The tires have less than 500 miles on them. The steering wheel has a crack at the top and the bottom, but the "rim blow" horn still works. I am including many extra parts to include: extra wheel cover, Auto Temp control module, Auto Temp II amplifier module and control head, factory rear window defrost with factory wiring harness and switch, extra dash panel,many extra door pull strap inserts, 2 radios, extra window motor, extra front turn signal lens, front passenger seat side panels to convert to electric (no wiring, switch, or seat frame with motors). The transmission has a leak but works fine. I have finally accepted the fact that I just don't have time for all of my classic cars and need to sell some. I have a 1991 Imperial for sale also and soon a 2004 Volvo V70 will be listed.

Watch the mechanical symphony of the Chrysler 200 build process

Wed, 15 Jan 2014

For those of you who can't get enough of the 2015 Chrysler 200, The Pentastar put together a short video following its new sedan down the line at its Sterling Heights Assembly Plant. As with the best new-baby albums, you'll see it take its first bath, be doted on by family members, put on its first pair of shoes and get all dressed up for an introduction to the world.
The only thing missing are its first words. You can follow it down the line in the video below.

Chrysler reports $464M net income for Q3

Wed, 30 Oct 2013

Chrysler has just announced earnings of $464 million in net income for this third quarter, a 22-percent year-over-year increase. Net income for the first three quarters of 2013 is at $1.1 billion. Net revenue climbed significantly as well, to $17.6 billion, a 13.5-percent increase on Q3 of 2012.
Those increases were thanks in no small part to an eight-percent rise in sales from the same period last year, with 603,000 vehicles sold worldwide. "Chrysler Group's ninth consecutive quarter of positive net income highlights our commitment to producing award-winning vehicles for consumers, such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Ram 1500," said Sergio Marchionne, Chairman and CEO of Chrysler Group.
Despite the increased sales, Chrysler's US market share dropped slightly, from 11.3 percent in Q3 2012 to 11.2. Canadian market share remained level at 14.3 percent. Have a look below for the entire press release from Chrysler.

FCA joins BMW, Intel and Mobileye on autonomous car project

Wed, Aug 16 2017

Today, BMW, Intel and Mobileye announced that FCA would be joining their effort to build a sharable and scalable platform for autonomous cars. This project has been moving ahead full steam, with Intel purchasing Mobileye earlier this year, not long after Tesla and Mobileye parted ways. Not long after that, parts supplier Delphi joined the autonomous effort. The group's current goal is to have 40 autonomous test vehicles on the road by the end of 2017. The eventual end game is to create a new architecture that each partner can use and adapt to its needs. The platform will support level 3 to level 4/5 automated driving, and can be adapted to suit brand identity. The main headquarters for the effort will be in Germany. FCA staff will join the already established group of engineers from BMW, Intel and Mobileye. The group expects this new platform to hit the streets by 2021. It's unclear how this will affect FCA's relationship with Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous vehicle project. Waymo currently uses modified Chrysler Pacificas for its fleet. In addition to FCA, the trio of BMW, Intel and Mobileye have extended an invitation to any other automakers and suppliers that want to join the project.
