This is a second owner, looks like almost new, SoCal carA real head-turner!

Genuine 86,081 miles

This is an all-original car with an exceptional body and interior for its year.


I bought her for my wife, who loved driving around with the top down, but only drives around 3,000 miles per year - she has been replaced by a Thunderbird.(the car, not my wife).
This gorgeous car needs a home with somebody who is prepared to invest a little time or money to bring her back to a fully operational state.

With her front wheel drive and fuel injected turbo engine, she is a lot of fun to drive, a road-hugging, comfortable, stylish head-turner.  Put your foot down and hear and feel the turbo kick in! With top down, windows up, there is no draft at all at freeway speeds, and she returns a relatively economical 27mpg town/freeway

Her silver paint, all-gray leather interior and silver tonneau cover show little sign of wear. The beautiful body-hugging multi-way powered leather seats are more comfortable than any other car I have driven.  If they would fit, I would have put them in my Thunderbird!  Each front seat does show a little evidence of wear and tear with a tiny repairable flaw.

She has been garaged all of her life until 2010, parked off-street under a custom-built cover and used only occasionally since.the arrival of the Thunderbird.

Custom built car cover included

New vinyl convertible top
Transmission rebuilt 1,000 miles ago


Registered PNO with DMV


Runs, but needs some mechanical work:
Blown head gasket. 
Brake seals need replacing. 
Heater & a/c not working.

We are sad to see her go, and have been reluctant to part with her, but she deserves to be cared for, driven regularly and enjoyed by an enthusiastic owner who appreciates her timeless style.

Chrysler readying Hellcat V8 with Viper-like power

Tue, 21 May 2013

A monstrous supercharged V8 engine could be in store for Chrysler and SRT products, if recent rumors are to be believed. Allpar is reporting that the forced-induction V8 - Chrysler's first, if this goes down - could make its debut this summer.
The story goes that the Hellcat would be based on a 6.2-liter Hemi engine, rather than on the existing 5.7- or 6.4-liter versions of the company's vaunted mill. In any case, the general consensus is that the motor will have gobs of power. Modest estimates call for between 500 to 570 horsepower, with some outliers predicting a figure as high as 600 hp. That figure would put the output would place the Hellcat awfully close to that of the 640-hp V10 in the SRT Viper, too. Allpar contends that a slightly lower powered version would allow Chrysler to keep costs below that of the more powerful Ford Shelby GT500, which might be a sweet spot.
The Hellcat could debut in a number of SRT products. SRT versions of the Charger, Challenger and 300 are all up for grabs, as is the rumored SRT Barracuda.

Jeep follows up Super Bowl spot with call to help the USO

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Once again, Chrysler had one of the most talked about Super Bowl commercials with its two-minute Whole Again Jeep spot, which was used to highlight its Operation SAFE Return program for US military personnel returning home from active duty. As part of this campaign, Jeep announced today that it will be donating up to $300,000 to the United Services Organizations (USO), and you can help.
Simply tweet using the #joinOSR hashtag on Twitter, visit the Yahoo! homepage or go to the Jeep Operation SAFE Return website, and Jeep will donate $1 to a fund that provides returning troops things like employment assistance and incentives to buy new vehicles. Jeep is also donating to this charity to the tune of $250 for each Jeep Wrangler and Wrangler Unlimited (including the Freedom Edition model) and Jeep Patriot Freedom Edition model sold.

1990 Chrysler Imperial is a forgettable American luxury sedan

Thu, Mar 17 2016

MotorWeek's Retro Review series often lets us be nostalgic about vehicles from the '80s and '90s, but this time the show looks back on the 1990 Chrysler Imperial. With atrocious styling and middling performance, it might be better that we collectively forget about this luxury sedan. When this Imperial hit the scene, the BMW 7 Series and Mercedes-Benz S-Class were entrenched in the luxury sedan segment. Japanese automakers like Lexus and Infiniti were also making waves. The Chrysler just seems old fashioned compared to the rest, and its landau roof didn''t fit the competition's modern styling. MotorWeek also complains of poor craftsmanship and bad visibility out of the back. A 3.3-liter V6 with 147 horsepower doesn't provide much acceleration, either. Chrysler understood the demands of its aging customers for the Imperial. The sedan didn't offer anything class-leading, but there were a comfy seats and a floaty suspension to get drivers around town. In the modern world of luxury vehicles, which bristle with active safety tech and advanced infotainment system, the Imperial seems like a dinosaur. Watch Motorweek's clip to get a better understanding why there's not much nostalgia for this American sedan. Related Video:
