1975 Chrysler Imperial 4-door Hardtop (lebaron) on 2040-cars
Piketon, Ohio, United States
|
1975 Imperial LeBaron 4-door hardtop, 70,907 original miles 1975 was the last year for the big Imperial. I've owned the car for about 8 years (had about 65,000 miles on it then) and it has mostly been garage-kept. I intended to restore the car, but life has a nasty way of getting me to put hobby work on the backburner and with my research travel, this will be another summer without having much time to work on the car. Car is a 25-footer (has little scrapes and dings); Car shines up nicely; It runs good (drove it 17 miles before I began putting this ad together), tranny shifts as it should; Interior is acceptable (leather seats are fairly nice, stitching on top of rear seat is coming apart and driver's seat shows wear); Headliner is pretty nice. Carpet is very good. Undercarriage is good for the car's age; Vinyl top is shrinking (a new aftermarket vinyl top that the buyer can install will come with the car). Chrome is good, but have small flaws. Brakes are recent (put on about 3,000 miles ago); New fuel pump put in about 2,000 miles ago; New fuel filter 500 miles ago; New distributor, spark plugs and wires put on about 300 miles ago. Tranny flush about 4,000 miles ago. Has aftermarket AM/FM cassette radio. A/C worked last summer and blew cold (has been refitted for the new kind of Freon), but is not working now (I think it may be a relay) Power windows, seats, and door locks not working (they all did last year); again I believe it needs a few new relays (my pacemaker doesn't allow me to work with electricity so I can't be sure). Tires are OK, but probably need replacing in the next 3 or 4 thousand miles. The little rust that there is appears to be just light surface rust. Two factory service manuals (a little beaten up and a few pages are missing) will come with the car. Want more details or pictures?, contact me through eBay. Car is sold "as is" and no warranty or guarantee is given by the seller. I ONLY ACCEPT BIDS FROM THE U.S.A --do not bid if you reside in another country. Car is located near Piketon, Ohio (85 miles south of Columbus, Ohio); arrangements can be made for potential bidders to come and inspect the car. Winning bidder is required to put a $300 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of the auction's close. Car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction's close. Shipping/pick-up is the responsibility of the buyer. |

Chrysler Uconnect gets dealer-activated navigation, new infotainment features
Mon, 07 Jan 2013Get in just about any mid-level Chrysler product these days, and you'll see a touchscreen head unit that would be perfect for a navigation system. The only thing is that some of these cars equipped with the head unit for Chrysler's Uconnect infotainment system were not optioned up with navigation at the time of purchase, leaving drivers looking for turn-by-turn directions relying on either an aftermarket nav system or a smartphone. Starting on select new Chrysler products, however, customers with Uconnect will now be able to upgrade to navigation as a dealer-activated option.
Announced at the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, this new element of Uconnect will allow owners to have an in-dash navigation system installed quickly and easily; Chrysler said that this will be a major benefit for used-car buyers. Unfortunately, it doesn't sound like this system will be retroactive on previous Uconnect head units, but it will launch this year on the 2013 Ram 1500, 2013 SRT Viper and the 2014 Fiat 500L. Chrysler did not announce the expected MSRP to have dealers activate the navigation capabilities.
Another infotainment option for Chrysler buyers is the Uconnect Access system that can allow WiFi, voice text messaging, emergency assistance, remote vehicle operation (such as starting the engine or locking/unlocking the doors) and limited POI searches using Bing. Also introduced at CES, the new Uconnect Access via Mobile system builds on this by allowing users to add in-car apps such as iHeart Radio, Pandora and Slacker by connecting to the system via a smartphone. This system will first be offered on the 2013 Ram and Viper.
Is Chrysler's 'America's Import' campaign outdated or offensive? [w/poll]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Chrysler launched its America's Import campaign with a splashy ad during the Super Bowl starring Bob Dylan and featuring a whole bunch of patriotic imagery that included Marilyn Monroe, James Dean, factory employees and, of course, the city of Detroit. Since then, the brand has followed the original spot with even more ads using the same tagline. Not everyone is pleased, it seems, including The Detroit Free Press auto critic Mark Phelan, who's fed up with the marketing. In an editorial for the newspaper, Phelan claims that it's insulting to the US auto industry and its workers.
"The phrase 'America's import,' with its suggestion that 'import' equals 'better,' feels terribly dated, a relic of the 1980s. It's the rhetorical equivalent of hanging a pastel-hued 'Miami Vice' poster on your office wall," writes Phelan in the piece. Also, since some of the brand's cars are made in Canada, the line isn't even entirely true, he claims. Phelan goes on to praise the company's earlier Imported from Detroit commercials for getting the right message across and showing pride in the city.
While "America's Import" might be the tagline for Chrysler's ads, it's not the whole message. Subsequent ads keep the hard-working, patriotic imagery from the original Super Bowl spot but put a bigger emphasis on the Chrysler 200 that the commercials are meant to sell.
Fiat talking with banks about buying rest of Chrysler
Wed, 13 Feb 2013All that stands in the way of Fiat's total ownership of Chrysler is a 41.5-percent stake currently held by the United Auto Workers healthcare trust, but according to SFGate.com, Sergio Marchionne is currently trying to raise the capital to complete the acquisition. The article says that a deal could be completed in as soon as 12 months, and the estimate for the remaining stake could cost Fiat SpA around $2.98 billion.
With a goal of completing the deal by the end of 2014, Marchionne is said to be in talks with various banks to help finance some of the deal. According to the report, the banks have indicated a need for a stronger balance sheet, controlled debt and reserve cash.
Two things that don't seem to be on the table to get the deal completed include issuing new shares to raise the capital or selling a stake in Ferrari. Fiat started with a 20 percent share of Chrysler in June 2009, and it raised its stake up to 58.5 percent in January 2012.
