This is your chance! You have a 300 hardtop you want to build, but you would rather have a convertible! Here is the car you need. Take your solid hardtop and turn it into a convertible.
This car came out of pole shed in Michigan. Untouched for the last 20 years, other than being used as a table from time to time, it appears. The upside is that the lack of movement has prevented parts from going missing. That I am aware, the only parts not present in this car are: Carpet Front Kick Panels Passenger Mirror 1 hubcap I have the keys for the car. I am going to walk through all areas of the car regarding condition. My goal is that you know what you are buying as much as possible. If I haven't covered an area that you have questions about, please do ask a question or ask for additional pictures. My reserve is low for what I think this car could be. I will not share what my reserve is. Overall, the car is rusty on the bottom. The higher up on the car you get, the better the car is. It appears to have been redone at some point. The paint currently is silver, but it appears it was white at some point. There is some white over-spray on some of the trim. I am going to start with the rear of the car. The rear bumper has lots of crazing, and it has several dents in it. The tail lights are in good shape. No apparent cracks. The chome has pin point pitting, but they clean up fairly nice. The trunk sealing lip is solid with no rust through. The trunk floor has some small holes, but it is pretty solid overall. The sides have had some metal added in. It appears it was added in during a rebuild, or it could be factory. I am unsure. The trunk lid does have some rust on the underside. It is bubbling. Not sure if there is rust through, but it appears there is some filler from the prior repaint. The lower inner quarters are rusted on both sides. The passenger frame rail is solid. The Driver's side frame rail is rusted out. Frame rails are rough on the underside, but the sides and tops appear solid. Rearend is present. Unknown condition overall. Tires are rollers at best, but they are holding air. The Inner fenders that the top mounts are welded into are in good shape and do not have rust. The panel between the inner fenders does have some rust through in the pressed in channel. The drain is present. The top boot has been cut out at some point. The top trim where the cover snaps onto is there and in good condition. The cover is present, but there is a seam that is coming apart. The top motor is present. Unknown condition. The top cylinders are present, but they are disconnected. The top can be raised by hand currently. The top frame is in good condition overall. The top itself is not. The frame does have some detioration mainly in the tack location on the rear most cross piece. The top latch is present, as are the catches and pins on the front edge of the top frame. The interior is all present with the exception of the carpet and the front kick panels. The door panels are decent, but they appear to have different fade rates between them. Front seat is present. Seat bottom needs redone. Seat tops have some seams coming apart and the fabric is dry. The rear seat frame is also present, and it has some seams coming apart as well. The material is there, so patterns could be made. The rear side panels are present and in fairly good condition. the convertible only rear seat pieces are there and restorable. The floors are gone in the lower sections. They are better at the high points, including the trans tunnel. There is some rust through under the rear seat, but not bad overall. The frame sections under the seats have rust through in spots in the underside, but the car feels solid overall. The doors appear to be in fairly good condition, and they may have been changed at some point in the car's life. The door handles are pretty cool looking, but they have some crazing. T he outer door handles don't appear to have much pitting, just the crazing. The chrome/stainless trim along the body line of the car is in good condition, but there are some dings along it. The inner door handles and window cranks appear to have some pitting. The dash is in really good condition. There is surface rust on the steel, but the panels the switches are in are in good condition. All switches and buttons are present. There are 2 missing screws in the heater face plate. The transmission buttons operate, as does the park pawl. All switches move, but I am unsure of condition. The dash pad is in really good shape. I was not able to find any cracks in it. Some of the chrome on the dash has pitting. The glove box opens hard. The inside glove box is good. There is an owner's manual with the car. It does have some water damage. The windshield has a scratch in it. This is a scratch, not a crack. It is likely savable. The window frame is in good condition. The vent window frames are good, and they have some tiny dot type pitting, but they shine up nice. The window moulding is there and in good condition. Wiper arms are in good condition. Blades need changed. Side window and quarter windows are all present and in good condition. Window mechanisms all work. Doors shut really nice. Cowl vent appears good. Hood appears to have some filler, but does not appear to be rusted out. The fenders have had some rust repair and filler. The rockers have had rust repair. Front frame is in better condition than the rear frame. The 361 engine does not currently turn, but it is complete. The PO had begun a swap to a 4 barrel intake, and the car was running prior to that. The new intake is on, and the carb that is now on the car is corroded. Wiring in the engine bay does not appear to be hacked. The engine is complete., I do have the air cleaner, though it is not shown in the pictures. All accessories are present. The radiator is present. Condition unknown. The car does have power steering and power brakes. The brakes are currently working and keep the car from being moved while it is pushed. There is some rust through in the inner fender and radiator support area. Grill is in good overall condition. Hood latch works, and the way it is hidden in the grill is pretty darn cool. Front bumper has some damage. Light bezels are good overall. They have a couple spots of pitting each.Trim on the car is all complete. In the trim around the trunk and the rear bumper, there are a couple locations where a PO has used screws to hold them on. The fuel tank looks to have been epoxy coated on the outside. Overall, my assessment of this car is that it is best used in conjunction with a rust free 2 door to build a nice convertible. I do know the location of such a car. I have tried by best to let you know EXACTLY the condition of this car. If you do have other questions about things I have not answered, please let me know. I will try and respond as quickly as I can. If the car sells, I would like a non-refundable 500$ deposit via paypal within 3 days. I feel that I have given you all enough information about the car that you can make an informed decision. I have WAY WAY WAY more pictures available than Ebay will let me post.... You can also come check out the car if you are local to me. It is POSSIBLE I may be able to deliver the car, as I have been buying cars throughout the midwest to part out. Please communicate with me regarding that possibility prior to bidding. If the car does not sell, I will be parting it out. In all likelihood, I have forgotten something. I will add it should I remember, or, please ask if you desire further information. |

Nissan is optimistic about FCA partnership, but wants the right terms
Mon, Jun 3 2019BEIJING – Nissan is optimistic about partnering with a combined Renault and Fiat Chrysler (FCA), as long as it can protect the ownership of technology developed over two decades of working with Renault, a senior executive told Reuters. The executive, who declined to be identified because he is not authorized to speak to the media, said he was cautiously optimistic about the possibility of generating "synergies" by sharing Nissan's autonomous drive know-how, electrification and greenhouse-gas-scrubbing technologies for powertrains. But he said the possible $35 billion merger of Renault and FCA would not give FCA the automatic right to use those technologies, which it needs to meet stringent emissions regulations and better compete in a industry being transformed by electric vehicles. He also floated the possibility that Nissan could look at boosting its stake in Renault, or a merged Renault-FCA, to gain more say in shaping the future of the alliance. "We would go ahead with partnering or cooperating with FCA only if we can guarantee tangible benefits from sharing technologies with FCA and only if we can work out conditions that are satisfactory to us," the Yokohama-based executive said. "If Renault wants to pursue this deal, we feel we need to look seriously at supporting them," he said. The executive's comments highlight how Nissan could look to leverage its advanced technology to gain greater bargaining power with a merged Renault-FCA. Renault is Nissan's top shareholder with a 43.4% shareholding, while Nissan holds a 15% non-voting stake in the French automaker. That unequal partnership has long rankled Nissan, which is the bigger company by far. A Nissan spokesman referred Reuters to a statement issued on Monday, where Nissan Chief Executive Hiroto Saikawa said: "I believe that the potential addition of FCA as a new member of the alliance could expand the playing field for collaboration and create new opportunities for further synergies." "That said, the proposal currently being discussed is a full merger which — if realized — would significantly alter the structure of our partner Renault. This would require a fundamental review of the existing relationship between Nissan and Renault," Saikawa said, adding that Nissan would analyze and consider its "existing contractual relationships".

Germany threatens to ban FCA vehicles over diesel emissions dispute
Tue, May 24 2016Germany is threatening to ban sales of FCA products over diesel emissions. According to the newspaper Bild Am Sonntag, Germany's Federal Motor Transport Authority found evidence of a so-called defeat device that shuts down certain emissions controls after running for 22 minutes. A standard diesel emissions test in the European Union reportedly takes 20 minutes to complete. FCA denies the allegations. "We believe all our vehicles respect EU emissions standards and we believe Italian regulators are the competent authority to evaluate this," the company said in a statement. The latter part of that statement drew ire from German authorities, especially after FCA declined to meet with German transport minister Alexander Dobrindt to discuss the issue. Graziano Delrio, the Italian Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, vowed to work with German authorities on behalf of FCA. According to EU law, FCA is required to homologate its vehicles in Italy because that's where its regional operations are based. When will the diesel-scented soap opera end?
