Rare, Fully Loaded 1962 Chrysler Imperial Crown Imperial Crown, 66k, 413 V8. Options include a/c, power windows, power seats, power steering and power brakes. I bought the Imperial from the son of a Mopar collector, it was in his family since the 70's. The previous owner claimed the 66k on the odometer is original, my mechanic thinks so as well. I'm looking for someone to keep going where I have to stop due to finances (or lack!). The Imperial is one of my all time favorites, it's the wild-style baby of Chrysler designer Virgil Exner. There is simply not another car like it. I've naturally got more into the car than my asking price, I just hope it goes to someone who will bring it the rest of the way. Mechanical: Entire new brake system, including booster, dual chamber master cylinder (I kept the original setup), brake lines, all six wheel cylinders, brake shoes and emergency brake overhaul. If you're familiar with these cars you know how much labor is involved getting all those components installed, adjusted, bled and stopping just right. The fuel system was replaced as well: fuel tank and sending unit, fuel lines, rebuilt carburetor and fuel pump. Complete tuneup as well including new battery and ground cable as well as all new belts. I got all the lights working including the dash lights, directinals and brights. I've been driving it around locally and recently the exhaust has gotten loud, it's one of the pipes coming down off the exhaust manifold to the bottom of the car. The exhaust system is solid otherwise, newer muffler and tailpipe. The pushbutton transmission has gotten intermittent as well, you need to shift back and forth from neutral to drive a few times to engage the tranny. From what I've read the solenoid that moves the gear selector gets worn and sloppy. The heater works, the a/c compressor turns on but doesn't blow cold and the radio works intermittently. The passenger side power window works, the others don't; I don't know if it's the switch or motors. The power seat does not work, the wipers and horn work. The tires are new as well. The engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks and the garage floor is always dry when I pull the car out. No noises from engine, power steering works perfectly, the 413 V8 is surprisingly quiet and smooth. Cosmetic: I haven't done anything to make the car look better in the photos; once I made the decision earlier today I pulled the car out of the garage in the rain and took quick shots with my phone! I didn't even reinstall the rear window chrome trim for the photos, it's in the trunk. I haven't done anything cosmetically, just removed the old carpet and was glad to see the floors are all solid. I have matched color loop style carpet I can include. The seats are good, one small opening of about two inches at the bottom of the driver's seat, otherwise just some fading at the tops of the seats. The front and rear center armrests are good as well as the headliner and visors. The front door panels are better than the rear but they're all complete, they're fraying at the edges. The rear deck material is dry and faded. The dash, dash display and steering wheel are near perfect. The glass is very nice all around including the windshield, no scratches or discoloration. The front bumper is good as well as the grill, the separate bumper extensions under the front corners of the fenders are peeling and the rear bumper is peeling in spots. Some small areas of corrosion down the bottom under the doors, nothing too bad, the worst is forward of the driver's side rear wheel well as seen in the pix. All the panels line up straight, doors, hood and trunk and the doors close easily. The body and undercarriage are solid overall, floors and frame good. The car has never been repainted or had any body repair. The title is in my name; you can probably tell I had big plans for the Imperial! I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Imperial is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, reliable and have great rates. Rare classic Mopar which will only appreciate in value!

CEO Sergio Marchionne curses FCA spokesman for emissions cheating denial
Tue, May 15 2018WASHINGTON — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Officer Sergio Marchionne reprimanded the company's top U.S. spokesman for issuing press releases about Fiat's vehicle emissions practices days after Volkswagen's disclosure in September 2015 that the German automaker had used illegal software to evade emissions tests, documents released Monday show. Lawyers suing Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in a securities case filed excerpts of an email from Marchionne to Gualberto Ranieri, then the company's U.S. spokesman, in a filing in federal court in New York criticizing him for saying that the company does not use defeat devices. "Are you out of your goddam mind?" Marchionne wrote in an email on Sept. 22, 2015, adding that Ranieri should be fired and calling his actions "utterly stupid and unconscionable." The company said in a statement on Monday it was "understandable that our CEO would have a forceful response to any employee who would opine on such a significant and complex matter, without the matter having been fully reviewed through its appropriate channels." The statement added that Ranieri's comments came just days after VW's emissions issue became public "and before a comprehensive internal review and discussions with component suppliers was possible." Fiat Chrysler was sued in 2015 along with Marchionne and other executives over claims it defrauded shareholders by overstating its ability to comply with vehicle safety laws. An amended version of the complaint filed in 2017 added claims about its compliance with emissions laws. The shareholders accused the defendants of inflating Fiat Chrysler's share price by hundreds of millions of dollars from October 2014 to October 2015 by downplaying safety concerns. They said the shortcomings materialized in 2015 when the automaker was fined $175 million by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and took a roughly $670 million charge for recalls. Plaintiffs filed the excerpts seeking approval to take up to 40 additional depositions, including Marchionne's. The U.S. Justice Department sued Fiat Chrysler in May 2017, accusing it of illegally using software to bypass emission controls in 104,000 diesel vehicles sold since 2014. Fiat Chrysler has held numerous rounds of settlement talks with the Justice Department and California Air Resources Board to settle the civil suit, including talks as recently as earlier this month. It faces a separate criminal probe into the matter.
Fiat Chrysler joins open pool with Tesla to avoid paying EU emissions fines
Sun, Apr 7 2019According to a report from the Financial Times, Fiat Chrysler has agreed to pay Tesla "hundreds of millions of euros" in order to pool their fleets together in Europe. This move will reportedly allow FCA to use Tesla's zero-emission vehicle sales to offset fines it would have to pay for failing to meet European Union carbon emissions rules, which fall to 95 grams per kilometer starting next year. According to the report, FCA joined a so-called open pool with Tesla on February 25. The electric car company created the pool and gave other automakers "the chance to join" three days prior. The pool will be valid "for several years," according to Julia Poliscanova, a senior director at the Transport & Environment lobbying group. Toyota and Mazda apparently created a similar pool on the same day, but that agreement doesn't elicit quite the same eyebrow raise since Toyota owns a five-percent stake in Mazda. It's not clear exactly how much money FCA will pay Tesla through this arrangement, but similar deals have been part of Tesla's financial strategy for years. FT reports Tesla earned more than $100 million by selling electric vehicle credits in the United States last year and close to $300 million the prior year.
Fiat Chrysler recalls 4.8 million U.S. vehicles for cruise control defect
Fri, May 25 2018WASHINGTON - Fiat Chrysler said on Friday it is recalling 4.8 million U.S. vehicles over a defect that could prevent drivers from deactivating cruise control and warned owners not to use the function until they get software upgrades. The Italian-American automaker said no injuries or crashes are related to the large recall campaign but said it had one report of a driver of a 2017 Dodge Journey rental car unable to deactivate the cruise control. Fiat Chrysler, which in 2015 was hit with penalties from U.S. regulators totaling $175 million for safety lapses, did not say how much the recalls would cost. The recall addresses what Fiat Chrysler called an "extremely rare" series of events that could lead to drivers being unable to cancel cruise control. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said on Friday it "strongly encourages vehicle owners to follow a warning" to stop using cruise control on the recalled vehicles until repaired. NHTSA said drivers could overpower the system by forcefully applying the brakes until the vehicle stopped. Fiat Chrysler also said the vehicle could be stopped by shifting into neutral and braking. Fiat Chrysler shares fell more than 2 percent in premarket trading in New York on the recall. Fiat Chrysler noted that at times cruise control systems automatically initiate acceleration to help vehicles maintain driver-selected speeds, including when going up an incline. If an acceleration occurs simultaneously with a short-circuit in a specific electrical network, a driver could be unable to deactivate the function. Fiat Chrysler said vehicles may be placed in park once stopped, at which point cruise-control is canceled. The recall involves a group of gasoline-powered vehicles with automatic transmissions from various model years built from 2014 through the 2019 model year. Most of the vehicles being recalled cover the 2014-2018 model years. Among the vehicles being recalled are the Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300, Chrysler Pacifica, Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Journey, Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Jeep Wrangler and Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks and Ram 3500/4500/5500 cab chassis trucks. Fiat Chrysler made the announcement going into the busy Memorial Day weekend, which traditionally kicks off the summer driving season.
