Thank you for checking out my auction on this beautiful 1953 Chrysler Town and Country Wagon.

I (Merrill) purchased this car back in 2001 to use as a secondary nostalgic and fun get around town car. It's a rare, high powered classic wagon that was hard to find as only 1,399 were reported made in America. I love the car but have become too busy with other business interests so I'm not able to drive and enjoy it as much as I'd like. It's time to find this wonderful wagon a nice new home.

It has a great, rust free body with a totally rebuilt motor, transmission and and general mechanics. The 331 ci V8 (which later became the HEMI) roars strong and the semi automatic three speed transmission shifts smooth. The car was a joy to drive and use for many years as purchased but then I made the decision to restore and refresh parts of its cosmetic condition to include:

Body stripped from its second paint work from new. The paint was properly reapplied with the correct color and finish from factory specs, and original to this car.
90% of all the chrome removed and re chromed . The stainless was polished and reinstalled.
All the interior was removed and the original (and expensive) faux alligator interior material correctly installed. This include the wool headliner and correct corded wool carpets.
Mechanical parts were inspected and generally maintained as any repairs were needed. Other than regular fluid changes and service, it really only needed an electronic ignition and a fresh pair of 6 volt batteries which were replaced in the past year.
To maintain original aspects, the radio was removed and tubes replaced and works as it should.

I have a 2" file of all the paperwork for all maintenance and items I've purchased for this car from the time I purchased it in 2001 to date. My mechanic has over 55 patents for MOPAR and has maintained this car with documented files and total 100% knowledge of this car and its needs and requirements.

Current Cosmetic issues:

The paint is 3 years old and was ideally applied and with high sheen, without orange peel or body waves. It has not had its final wet sand and polish yet, but will be done before sale.
The interior requires one piece of carpet re-trimmed.

Comparable Cars:

From time to time similar vehicles are auctioned off at the Barrett-Jackson Collector Car Auctions and often sell for $45k plus. Here are a couple recent listings I found.

Sold for $52,800

Sold for $66,000

The Town and Country I am selling is not as nice as these, but my reserve is much less considering it needs some minor tweaking. With minimum effort this Wagon could be quite a show car.

If you have any questions, the easiest way to get a hold of me is a phone call, so please feel free to give me (Merrill) a ring before 9pm EST at 843-452-5600.

GOOD LUCK!

Chrysler's Woodward Dream Cruise festivities include Ram concept truck debut

Tue, 13 Aug 2013

The streets will be crowded next weekend along Woodward Avenue in Royal Oak, Michigan for the 19th Annual Woodward Dream Cruise. As part of the run-up to the festivities, Chrysler has announced that all of its brands - Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram, Fiat, SRT and Mopar - will bring along their latest vehicles. Also included will be a collection of classic American cars and various activities for attendees at the official Chrysler location on the corner of Woodward and 13 Mile Road.
Special to this year, Ram brand director Bob Hegbloom and head of design John Dehner will unveil a Ram concept truck on Saturday. Chrysler will also bring Ryan Friedlinghaus of West Coast Customs fame along to show off a few custom Chrysler-made vehicles of his own. Fans of the brand on Facebook will get the chance to virtually customize a vehicle from the automaker's portfolio, with the winner getting their dream car built for them by Chrysler. Pretty cool stuff, no?
As in past years, Ford and General Motors will have an official presence at the event as well, and you can expect to see plenty of cars of all makes and models from all parts of the globe. The madness starts this Friday, August 16, from 4:30 PM to 10 PM, with the main event taking place on Saturday, from 9 AM to 9 PM. For more details on the show, including events and their times, check out the press release below.

Mopar maneuvers into SEMA with a multitude of modified models

Wed, 05 Nov 2014

As the aftermarket and performance arm of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, Mopar has a duty to extract everything from the company's models that it can, and there's no better place to show all of its work off than the annual SEMA Show.
Dodge really gets in on the act this year with several customs to show off different parts of the brand's performance heritage. Perhaps the most interesting among them is the track-prepped Viper ACR Concept (pictured above). It wears a custom body kit to produce even more downforce, thanks in no small part to a monstrous wing at the back. To shed weight, most of the interior is stripped out, as well. Next up, the Challenger T/A Concept takes inspiration from '70s Trans-Am racing in a livery of Sublime Green and matte black paint. The center scoop in the hood keeps the 6.4-liter V8 fed with cool air, and the special's 20-by-9.5-inch matte black wheels keep it planted in the corners.
Also getting the once-over from Mopar is the Charger R/T. It wears the division's body kit, and under the hood, a cold-air intake keeps the 5.7-liter V8 breathing. The suspension is retooled to hold the road better with a coil-over kit, upgraded sway bars and strut tower braces for the front and rear. The company is also showing off a snazzy blue Charger with a mean look. The final Dodge getting work from Mopar is the Dart R/T Concept with bright, O-So-Orange paint and a matte black hood with a scoop hooked directly to the air intake. The performance-oriented design is finished off with a coil-over suspension and big brake kit, as well.

Fiat seeking $10B in financing to buy Chrysler

Thu, 30 May 2013

As Fiat looks to become the full owner of Chrysler, all it has standing in its way is the retiree trust of the United Auto Workers, which currently holds the remaining 41.5 percent of the company as the result of the Pentastar's bankruptcy deal. The Detroit News is reporting that that Fiat is currently talking to numerous banks in an attempt to raise around $10 billion to fund the purchase of Chrysler's remaining stake with enough left over to refinance the debt of both companies. We've known that Fiat has been working to obtain the capital to buy out Chrysler for some time now, but this is the first time we've seen Fiat tip its hand about how much cash it thinks it will need to close the deal.
The first order of business is a legal dispute over the value of the UAW's stake in Chrysler, which the report indicates could cost Fiat around $3.5 billion. The acquisition of remaining shares could happen by this summer, but it sounds like CEO Sergio Marchionne (above) might not be ready for a full merger until next year.
