1963 Chrysler Imperial Crown 2 Dr Hardtop - 74,000 Miles - Beautiful on 2040-cars
Waukegan, Illinois, United States
|
I have decided to pass along custody of my beautiful 1963 Crown Imperial 2 Dr. Coupe. It's been very well maintained and cared for during it's 51 years. I've owned the car about 8 years. as I understand it this car spent most of it's life in Wyoming.
The good. It runs and drives beautifully. The engine runs excellent with no problems. It does not leak or burn oil beyond what is considered normal. the transmission works excellent... it shifts like it should. It does not leak beyond a few drips. Excellent suspension. The car steers straight and tight with no drift. Brakes work excellent. Power steering works excellent. It appears to have had one complete paint job at some point in it's life before I took custody of it and the body shows no signs of having rust or rust repair or having been in an accident. The doors, hood and trunk close solid, easy and tight. All chrome, exterior and interior, is original and excellent. All 6 power windows work well. All instrument lighting works (see photo). The headlights, parking lights, license plate light, backup lights and turn signals all work properly. The clock works. The radio works well and so does the foot controlled Town & Country tuning. The power seat works well. The power antenna works well. The rear air defroster works well. The seat upholstery and door panels are all original original and in excellent condition for their age. The carpeting is worn on the front drivers side and is slightly faded in areas. The trunk carpeting is new. The jack, spare tire and spare tire cover are complete. The 4 whitewall tire are in excellent condition and only have about 3,000 miles on them. The bad. The right top corner of the front seat back on the passenger side has been repaired. It's done very well but is slightly noticeable. The top corner left front seat back on the drivers side has a couple of small cracks starting. It should be fine as long as the sun is kept off of it. The top of the back seat under the rear window has had a few cracks repaired. The repair was not done as well as the seat corner but this area is not that visible. The wind lace that is on the rear edge of the door openings is frayed for about 4" on both sides. The wind lace on the front of the door openings has been replaced with new. The carpeting, which is original, is worn on the front drivers side and is faded in places. Both of the things that are near the door hinges that hold the doors open are missing. There is a small shallow dent about 3" by 1/2" in the front bumper just right of center. Overall the paint is very nice but is not show car perfect. There are a few typical chips that were touched up and are only noticeable from up close. At some point the ignition switch must have been changed because the key for the doors is different from the key for the ignition. There are two small "star" type chips that measure approximately 1/2" to 3/4" across in the windshield. They are stable and have not gotten any owrse the entire time I've owned the car. They are good candidates for the appropriate repair. All in all this is a beautiful mostly original survivor of an Imperial. In my opinion Imperials like this are way under valued and now is an excellent time to buy a nice one like this. I hate to part with this car but my situation demands it. Inspection and test drive are welcome. I'm in N.E. Illinois. The car is being sold as is with no implied or expressed warranty. Shipping will be the responsibility of the buyer but I will be happy to assist however I can. A deposit of $500 will be due within 48 hours of the end of auction and the balance due at time of pickup with a cashier or bank check or cash. |

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
Ram confirms Fiat Ducato vans to form new Promaster series for US
Wed, 28 Nov 2012Chrysler has officially confirmed that Ram will develop an all-new large van for the US market based on the Fiat Ducato. The commercial rig will go on sale in the third quarter of next year, joining the Ram C/V on the company's professional van line. Expect to see the Promaster face off against the Ford Transit and revised Chevrolet Express.
Chrysler is pretty skimpy on details when it comes to the Promaster, but it has said the vehicle will make use of "familiar Ram Truck styling cues." The van will reportedly also bow with powertrains targeted specifically at the North American market.
Chrysler and Ram made the announcement ahead of the LA Auto Show alongside news that the company will launch a new Ram commercial truck division.
Refreshed Chrysler 300 SRT won't be sold in NA
Mon, 20 Oct 2014It looks like it might be time to bid farewell to the V8 rumble from the Chrysler 300 SRT - at least if you live in North America. The reported change comes as Fiat Chrysler Automobiles reshuffles its ranks with the Dodge brand, re-absorbing SRT and building its muscular reputation with the Challenger and Charger Hellcat models. Meanwhile, Chrysler is taking a more mainstream approach, and that likely means the end of overt high-performance models from the division for now.
According to Automotive News, the 300 SRT will be discontinued in the US for 2015, but it won't be totally dead. Some right-hand drive markets will still get the brawny V8 sedan next year, a distinction that goes a long way toward explaining some spy shots we've seen recently.
The 300 SRT's North American demise probably shouldn't come as a total shock. In FCA's five-year plan, it says that the 300 is destined for a refresh to be unveiled later this year, presumably at the upcoming Los Angeles Auto Show. There's no mention of the SRT model in the document, though, which seems to signal its end.
