I bought this car in February of 2009 from a lady at a retirement apartment complex where I was helping a friend. I saw the car there for many years, not moving but once a year or so. The owner knew something was wrong with it, but couldn't remember what it was called. I found out the word was "transmission"! When I bought the car, the transmission had a problem so I had it professionally rebuilt for more than $2000.00. I had the cracked windshield replaced, rebuilt the alternator, new battery, radiator rebuilt, A/C drier and gaskets replaced, Converted to R-134a refrigerant, new front brake pads and rotors and front struts, and new Cooper white wall tires. The rear struts need to be replaced, but I have not been able to find any. The A/C is cold and radio and power antenna work. All windows and locks appear to be working. The cruise control is not working and is one item I have not gotten to checking out. I had the vinyl top repainted and front bumper fillers replaced and repainted. This led to me having the hood and front panels repainted due to rock chips and one or two panels on the rear repainted and the pinstripes re-done at a cost of around $860.00. A sudden downpour led me to run in the garage with a ladder and I bumped the top left of the trunk and scratched the paint. It could probably be corrected with touch up paint.

I originally bought the car to pair with my 1974 Imperial in a car show with a "Back to the Future" theme, but the brake caliper froze up on the 1974 the day of the show, so it wasn't meant to be. Since I have owned the car, I used it to go to car club meetings and events, and sometimes not used it for a couple of months at a time. The mileage that the car shows was put on early in the cars life as I have not put many miles on it since I have owned it and it was not driven for about 3+ years just before I owned it. I need to get rid of some of my cars as I do not have enough storage space for them all. Nine is a bit much to take care of. I'm also selling a 1974 Imperial, a 1976 Fleetwood, and a 2004 Volvo V70.

FCA to pay buyers $1,700 to swap out of scandal-mired VWs

Tue, Oct 6 2015

FCA is trying to gain some sales from arch-rival VW in the competitive European market by offering potential buyers in Italy up to $1,700 to swap into an FCA group car. While the promotion isn't specifically targeted at TDI owners affected by the emissions scandal, it is clearly intended to turn dissatisfaction with VW's defeat device cheat into additional sales, Bloomberg reports. The 500-1,500 euro incentive (roughly $560-1,700, depending on vehicle) stacks on top of any other rebates or deals applicable, and applies if a buyer brings in any of Volkswagen Group's cars – including Audi, Skoda, and SEAT, among (many) others. As Bloomberg notes, it's normal for automakers to offer "conquest" deals Â– giving a buyer cash for trading in a competitor's vehicle. Those deals aren't usually limited to one company's products, however; FCA's program looks specifically to take advantage of VW's legal and public relations nightmare. FCA isn't the only automaker trying this trick in Italy. Automotive News Europe also reported that Ford is offering approximately $840 in incentives across its entire range to owners of VW vehicles seeking to trade in for a Ford. No word of yet as to whether these incentives will spread beyond Italy or to other automakers.Related Video:

Is Chrysler's 'America's Import' campaign outdated or offensive? [w/poll]

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

Chrysler launched its America's Import campaign with a splashy ad during the Super Bowl starring Bob Dylan and featuring a whole bunch of patriotic imagery that included Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, factory employees and, of course, the city of Detroit. Since then, the brand has followed the original spot with even more ads using the same tagline. Not everyone is pleased, it seems, including The Detroit Free Press auto critic Mark Phelan, who's fed up with the marketing. In an editorial for the newspaper, Phelan claims that it's insulting to the US auto industry and its workers.
"The phrase 'America's import,' with its suggestion that 'import' equals 'better,' feels terribly dated, a relic of the 1980s. It's the rhetorical equivalent of hanging a pastel-hued 'Miami Vice' poster on your office wall," writes Phelan in the piece. Also, since some of the brand's cars are made in Canada, the line isn't even entirely true, he claims. Phelan goes on to praise the company's earlier Imported from Detroit commercials for getting the right message across and showing pride in the city.
While "America's Import" might be the tagline for Chrysler's ads, it's not the whole message. Subsequent ads keep the hard-working, patriotic imagery from the original Super Bowl spot but put a bigger emphasis on the Chrysler 200 that the commercials are meant to sell.

Ferrari IPO could come any day now

Sun, Jul 12 2015

According to Bloomberg, Fiat Chrysler Automotive Sergio Marchionne told reporters at the Toronto Global Forum that the Ferrari IPO could come any day now. "We are days away from filing the prospectus," said Marchionne, who declined to confirm whether rumors of involvement from UBS Group AG, JPMorgan Chase & Co and Goldman Sachs Group were accurate. In addition to an expected filing in New York, Marchionne hinted that a secondary filing could take place in Milan, Italy. Although the FCA Chief Executive didn't offer any expected sum for Ferrari, he had previously suggested that an IPO for the iconic Italian brand could be worth $1 billion, ringing the registers to the tune of 10 percent of the company's $11 billion valuation. According to Bloomberg, that potential sum is significantly higher than its own internal figures indicate after taking a poll of analysts who we assume must know a heck of a lot more about such things than we do. Considering how close we apparently are to the actual filing, though, we probably won't have to wait long to find out. Another hot topic any time Sergio is the subject of reporter questioning is a potential merger with General Motors or another large, full-line automaker. It seems there aren't any new revelations to reveal on the consolidation front, though Marchionne told reporters there were no plans to mount a hostile takeover of GM or any "other, less optimal" partners.
