1964 Imperial Convertible With Factory Ac. "refreshed Original" on 2040-cars
Solana Beach, California, United States
1964 Imperial Crown Covertible. “Refreshed Original” with AC
One of 922 Made.
This is a very nice, stock car that has been “refreshed” with one same-color paint job, new leather in the front seats and all mechanical attention required to make it a comfortable, safe and reliable driver. Front Chrome is gorgeous, rear is ok (but RE-CHROMED BUMPER comes with the car).
THIS CAR HAS NO RUST ON IT NOW, NOR DID IT EVER. NOW in San Diego, it was originally from SPOKANE, WA (DESERT ENVIRONMENT).
This car runs beautifully and is a joy to drive. It is quiet and smooth and does not smoke-FROM ANYWHERE.
The car still has its correct “bubble” windshield (Imperial fans will know what I’m talking about); still has correct skirts on the back of the front seats; still has correct, original top well liner with drains; still has the highly sought after ORIGINAL PARADE BOOTS and center piece; ORIGINAL (but worn) carpet; Original and Near Perfect Door Panels and all interior panels; Original dash top with only two SMALL cracks (again, Imperial folks will recognize this as rare); still has its original Jiffy-Jet; Still has its original Carburetor and Air Cleaner; Still has its correct Fan Clutch and Fan Shroud; Original Jack and spare and they are stowed correctly with spring and wood chock.
Over the past 2 years I have done the following work: 1. Rebuilt original carburetor 2. Replaced all 4 tires 3. Replaced the convertible Top and Rear Window 4. Replaced the Master Cylinder 5. Re-Cored the original Radiator with 4 core 6. Plugs, Points, Condenser, Wires, Cap, Rotor. 7. Replaced Front Brake Shoes 8. Replaced All RUBBER brake Lines 9. Replaced Water Pump 10.Replaced all Belts and Hoses 11. Replaced Heater Valve (Ranco H-16) 12. Rebuilt HVAC Vacuum/Electric switch 13. New Battery 14. Replaced Starter with Rebuilt 15. Replaced Windlace
The car has functioning factory Air Conditioning that has NOT been charged but all switch positions result in proper opening/closing of heat and AC doors and correct actuation of AC Compressor. I noticed that the Receiver/Dryer/ Strainer HAS been replaced with a newer unit so I will assume that at some time in the recent past the AC was working. The Heater is Excellent and neither the heater core nor the heater valve leaks. All 4 Power Windows work, but some are slow. BOTH 4 Way Power Seats work in all directions Passenger Side Recliner works All Interior and Exterior lights work (including Ash tray and Glove Compartment) The rare and original first year AM/FM factory radio plays beautifully on AM and on FM. The ORIGINAL Power Antenna goes all the way up and all the way down-from the switch, as it should. The original and first year Tilt Wheel works as it should. ALL Hood Snubbers and Door Snubbers and Trunk Snubbers and Gas Tank Door snubbers present. DOOR HINGES WITH SPRINGS FUNCTION CORRECTLY.
The car does have a couple of drips – AS THEY ALL DID EVEN WHEN THEY WERE ONLY A COUPLE OF YEARS OLD. (I KNOW, MY FATHER HAD THEM THEN).
This is NOT a perfect car or a SHOW car, but an EXTREMELY NICE car that looks beautiful-even close up (and is) original in appearance and equipment and will take you wherever you point it. Even better, you won’t see yourself coming and going because this is truly one of the rarest cars of the 60’s. NINE HUNDRED TWENTY TWO EVER MADE.
The car is REGISTERED, TITLED and INSURED IN MY NAME. I OWN
IT. Check my Feedback and look at the pictures. |

Fiat-Chrysler alliance in jeopardy due to Pentastar's IPO filing?
Thu, 26 Sep 2013The four-year relationship between Fiat and Chrysler has thus far been beneficial for both automakers, but it has also proven to be a complicated battle between Sergio Marchionne and the United Auto Workers - the latter controlling the remaining 41.5 percent of Chrysler. With the recent filing for a US IPO, it looks like Marchionne and the UAW appear to be playing a billion-dollar game of chicken, with both sides far apart on how much the union's shares are worth. If it comes down to Chrysler's remaining stake being publicly traded, it could act to drive a wedge between the two companies.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat's chairman John Elkann says "if the IPO will take place, there will be two companies, and that's different than having a single one." Now, we're not great at math, but this sounds like the complete opposite of the full merger that Marchionne has been pushing for since taking the helm at Chrysler. Bloomberg notes that the UAW's shares should be worth around $5.6 billion, but Fiat could end up paying as little as $4.9 billion for Fiat to gain full control of Chrysler. A story by The Detroit News points out that Marchionne's "alleged low-balling" is just the latest hurdle the Auburn Hills-based automaker must overcome as its ownership is being fought over for the fourth time in 15 years.
Chrysler recalling nearly half a million vehicles with active head restraints
Thu, 04 Jul 2013Chrysler has announced that it will recall roughly 490,000 vehicles around the globe due to a potential active head-restraint problem. The problem is being blamed on "potentially faulty microcontrollers" that may keep the vehicles' anti-whiplash active safety feature from working properly. Chrysler says it has no knowledge of any accidents or injuries related to the issue. Models covered under the recall include the 2011-2013 Chrysler Sebring, 200 (shown) and Dodge Avenger models, along with 2011-2013 Jeep Liberty and 2011-2012 Dodge Nitro SUVs.
Interestingly, the Pentastar notes that the faulty part came from an (unnamed) supplier who furnished the parts in the wake of Japan's 2011 earthquake and tsunami, natural disasters which decimated the world's supply of microcontrollers.
Chrysler says of those nearly half a million vehicles affected, around 442,000 of them reside in the US, with an additional 25,000 in Canada and 10,000 units in Mexico. A further 12,000 models were shipped beyond the NAFTA region. The Auburn Hills automaker will begin sending out recall notices shortly, and technicians will upgrade the system software or replace the microcontroller as necessary at no cost to owners.
Mopar celebrates 50 years of the 426 Hemi
Thu, 09 Jan 2014Think of Chrysler performance and the names Mopar and Hemi are bound to come to mind. Chrysler and its Mopar performance parts division first introduced the original Hemi (so named for its hemispherical combustion chambers) back in 1951, celebrating its 60th anniversary in 2011. But it was thirteen years later - 50 years ago - that the Pentastar automaker rolled out the most iconic Hemi of them all: the Gen II 426.
The massive 7.0-liter V8 engine instantly became a muscle car icon and went on to become a favorite of racecar constructors. Two competition versions of the Gen II 426 Hemi were made: one for the track and one for the drag strip, and both went on to illustrious strings of victories. The race engine first debuted at the 1964 Daytona 500 where it powered Richard Petty's Plymouth to the checkered flag and on to the NASCAR championship.
Meanwhile on the drag strip, the Gen II 426 Race Hemi propelled Don Garlits past 200 miles per hour and down the quarter-mile in 7.78 seconds. Changes in NASCAR regulations meant that Chrysler devoted the engine to NHRA drag racing, and to this day the Gen II 426 Race Hemi is still used in Funny Car and Top Fuel dragsters.
