Beaumont, California, United States
|
PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION, I AM BEING AS HONEST AS POSSIBLE DESCRIBING THE IMPERIAL. Vehicle is sold AS-IS without warranty of any kind. Inspections are welcome. VIN YM41K73204006 decoded-----> Y-Imperial, M-Crown, 4-#of doors, 1-Sedan, K-440 engine, 7-1967, 3-Jefferson Plant, 204006-serial number. Driver quality Imperial, 1 of 2193 Sedans built in 1967. Total Imperial production in 1967: 14,391. This car was purchased new in Oxnard, CA apparently it has spent it's entire life on the west coast. NO RUST. Nice straight body, with a fresh BLACK paint job, probably considered a '10 footer'. Clear coat was peeling from a previous paint job. Check out the pictures. This one has the Crown trim package, factory A/C is all there (needs work and charging) but the compressor is free and the clutch cycles when powered directly. Original 440 engine with factory AFB carb,cold blooded but runs smooth when warmed up. New battery. Fresh spark plugs, wires, cap rotor and points. Non-factory dual exhaust with new mufflers. Looks like the transmission has been rebuilt (has rebuilder tag) and I assume it is the original trans. Mileage shows 94XXX, but I can't confirm it's not 194XXX. Just replaced the strut rod bushings along with sway bar end bushings, also installed HD rear shocks. Rear cross (panhard?) bar needs new bushings. 1967 was first year to have disc brakes. First year without a frame, has 'uni-body' construction. Drives well, (for a 46 year old car) just replaced all 4 tires (with Hankooks). All 4 hubcaps included as well as proper spare and bumper jack. Trunk is huge and has newer carpeting and spare tire cover. Trunk light works. The trunk has a vacuum operated release, push button is in glove box. Brakes function, not real touchy, I have replaced the master cylinder. 3 of 4 door windows operate (I think the window switches need cleaning), both vent windows (electric) need work, but you can hear the motors. All glass is in great condition. All the trim (except the hood eagle) is there and in good condition. All the gauges work, speedometer works as does the odometer. The trip odometer does not. Factory radio missing and the plate had been opened to accept a new (rectangle) style radio, so that's what is filling the space. Electric antenna works when powered directly, (no power to switch?). Has the 'tilt-telescopic' steering wheel. Head and tail lights work, but no dash lights ( I think it's the dimmer switch) the turn signals work if you hold the lever in position (the cancel cam is broken) all door courtesy lights and the overhead dome light work. The 2 rear seat reading lights do not work. Interior is nice, (needs a good cleaning) door panels, carpet and headliner are nice. All the walnut trim needs refreshing, but it's all there. Needs door weather stripping. All around it's a nice car needing TLC and patience to get all the finicky interior electrical gremlins in order. Comes with a reprinted service manual and numerous spare interior trim pieces. Has California 'black' plates and is registered current. Clear title in my name. Car is in So-California, Riverside County, (easy access to I-10 and State Hwy 60) I can help coordinating with your shipper after cleared and complete payment. No 'shipper over-payment' scams please. Call me at (909) 747-7730 or use the 'ask a question' feature. The vehicle is being sold AS-IS, NO WARRANTY of any kind. PLEASE HAVE YOUR FINANCES IN ORDER PRIOR TO THE END OF THE AUCTION. SHIPPING IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. ---> $250 non-refundable deposit via PayPal within 48 hours of auction end.<--- Full payment due within 7 days. No shipper 'over payment' scams. CASH or legit Cashier's Check. See payment info below. Vehicle will not be released until payment has cleared. Relisted due to non pay bidder. During the last auction several Imperial officiandos noticed that the rear window was smaller than those normally found in sedan models. Apparently the window as not an option offered in 1967. The window was available on the LeBaron model. The story I got (unconfirmed by any paperwork) when I acquired the Imperial was that it was a Federal Govt purchase for 'embassy service' and that the govt would not buy hardtops in the 60's. I was told this car was pulled off the assembly line and completely repainted black (from light blue?) at the factory. Again none of this was backed up with any paperwork. If the story is correct then it would follow that the smaller window was installed at that time. (here's a regular rear window pic: http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1967/SpottersGuide/rear.jpg ) The headliner and window surround look like a factor install to me, there are also 2 reading lights in the rear seat area that are usually only found on LeBarons. Make up your own mind on this story, I make NO claims of it's veracity. NO RESERVE. HIGH BIDDER WINS----> Check out NADA values. http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1967/Chrysler/Imperial/4-Door-Sedan/Values NO RESERVE. I was questioned about the seats in this car. I did some research and found they are indeed proper for this car. If you look on the fender tag under TRM you see M1D which translates to Blue cloth and vinyl. Scroll down here---> http://automotivemileposts.com/imperial1967interiortrim.html These same seats (50-50) were covered in leather as an option on the Crown Hardtops. The passenger side reclines, and both sides have a drop down armrest independent of each other. The back seat has a single, larger armrest in the center. Both seats are electric, and the wiring looks factory to me, (each side has a separate power connection) and each are controlled independent of the other. I MAKE NO CLAIM THAT THIS CAR IS A 'ONE OFF' IMPERIAL, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS THAN USUALLY FOUND ON THE SEDANS. I'VE ALSO BEEN ASKED IF IT CAME WITH A VINYL TOP. I DON'T KNOW! ---> IF IT EVERY HAD ONE, SOMEONE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF REMOVAL. Use your best judgement as to the rarity (or lack there of) regarding this Imperial Sedan. I have passed on all the info I have. Car is being sold AS-IS without any warranty. |

Chrysler patents smarter minivan folding seats
Thu, 02 Jan 2014It's frightening to think of how quickly the mice would have overtaken us if we hadn't stayed one step ahead of them with better mousetraps. We'll never have to worry about that in our relentlessly re-engineered world, though. Case in point: Chrysler has been granted a patent by the US Patent and Trademark Office for an improved design of the already wondrous Stow 'n' Go seating found in the automaker's Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans.
Introduced in 2005, the Stow 'n' Go was improved in 2008, and based on the drawings of this third-generation improvement, the new design appears to allow stowage of the second row of seats without having to move the front-row seats forward as much. It look like it also involves fewer operations and moving parts, with a portion of the seatback being incorporated into the flat floor when the seats are stowed, as opposed to having a completely separate cover.
It's possible that the innovation may appear on the next-generation minivans expected in 2015, but Chrysler isn't commenting on the patent.

Chrysler recalling 382k Ram HD diesel pickups, 184k SUVs
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Between GM's ignition switches and Takata's airbags, it's been a big year for recalls, but they keep rolling in. The latest comes from Chrysler, which has announced a pair of recalls for certain heavy-duty pickups and SUVs.
The first issue revolves around the 6.7-liter Cummins diesel engine available in the 2010-2014 Ram HD trucks, including 2500 and 3500 series pickups as well as 4500 and 5500 series chassis cabs. In the affected units, "a terminal connector near the fuel heater may be subject to friction-induced corrosion," according to the first of the two announcements from Chrysler below.
The problem could result in overheating and fuel leakage. Chrysler launched its investigation following cases of overheating, none of which actually started a fire, much less an injury or accident. As a precautionary measure, however, Chrysler is instructing service technicians to replace the terminals on an estimated 381,876 Ram units around the world - the vast majority of those (314,704) registered in the US, another 59,432 in Canada, 1,803 in Mexico and 5,937 abroad.
