This car runs, shifts and drives wonderfully (less

than 200 miles on rebuilt engine) and looks great

from a distance but (in the spirit of honesty and

"full disclosure") less so when you get close:

it has a number of tiny dents and dings (really

could use new paint but as a driver it's just fine).

and there are a couple of interior cigarette burns

(I'm told the gentleman who owned it previously

was the original owner, a mechanic who was rather

careless with his belongings especially when he had

beer in his belly). Other little issues include a radio

antenna doesn't go up and down automatically as it's

supposed to (aftermarket AM/FM radio/casette player

works fine), headlight doors are stuck open, seat-motors

not fully operational (but can be partially adjusted; I'm

6'1" and totally comfortable in the driver's seat), all the

necessary instrument panel displays light up (but some don't

switch to the alternative settings, i. e. from gallons to litres,

etc). I was told by the gentleman who handled the sale that

the car had a little less than 50,000 miles on when it was

converted from fuel injection to carburation at which point

the ODO's are zeroed-out; it's showing 80000 miles now.

But ... in the final analysis this car IS a very rare Sinatra edition,

of which Barrett-Jackson has said there are less than 35 left licensed

in the U. S. thus this model is not only rare it's a true classic ... so if

you love these cars and are good w/your hands this car will help you

pass many enjoyable hours puttering and fixing and/or many more great hours

behind the wheel driving it as is. One more thing, with the engine rebuild it has

smogged twice here in California (which means it'll smog anywhere it has to).

So I'm leaving it to you Imperial afficionados to determine the

car's value by offering it at true No Reserve, pehraps one of the

last chances ever to own a Sinatra this decent for a great price.

Granted this car may not be the handsomest guy in the class but

he sure can run!

Car is being sold as-is-where-is. Buyer is responsible for

shipping from San Diego to your location. $500 deposit

payable to ebay w/in 24 hours of completing purchase,

balance due within 48 hours after that.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.

MotorWeek reviews '83 American Motors lineup

Wed, Mar 18 2015

The 30th anniversary of American Motors' 1987 sale to Chrysler by Renault is just a few years away. AMC is long dead, but for its latest peek in the archives, MotorWeek winds back the clock to somewhat happier times. Take a look at the entire AMC lineup from 1983, including its models from Jeep and Renault. The Jeeps, and to a lesser extent, the AMC Eagle, enjoy a cult following today, but it's amazing how many of these other vehicles are now practically forgotten. Even the big debut in '83 of the Renault Alliance is largely ignored. Although with a ludicrous amount of body roll and a 55-horsepower 1.4-liter engine, it's probably rightly buried.

Fiat Chrysler cuts 2018 outlook, shares tumble on weaker quarterly profit

Wed, Jul 25 2018

MILAN — The news of former Fiat Chrysler chief executive Sergio Marchionne's death arrived Wednesday moments before the group reported a surprisingly heavy drop in profit. The death of one of the auto industry's most tenacious and respected CEOs overshadowed a big selloff in Fiat Chrysler shares. FCA's scheduled second-quarter earnings presentation, led by Marchionne's successor and former lieutenant Mike Manley, began on Wednesday afternoon with a moment of silence. As eulogies flooded in, FCA shares fell as much as 10 percent as investors digested an unexpected 35 percent fall in net profit, well below market forecasts. Marchionne rescued Fiat and Chrysler from bankruptcy after taking the wheel of the Italian carmaker in 2004 and he multiplied Fiat's value 11 times through 14 years of canny dealmaking. He was due to step down at FCA in April next year. "The best way to honor his memory is to build on the legacy he left us, continuing to develop the human values of responsibility and openness of which he was the most ardent champion," Chairman John Elkann added. On Saturday, FCA named Jeep division head Mike Manley, 54, as head of the world's seventh-largest carmaker, saying the Briton would execute a strategy that Marchionne had outlined in June. FCA has said Manley will work to ensure a "strong and independent" future for the group. Underlining the task facing Manley, FCA cut its full-year earnings outlook after the weaker-than-expected quarterly earnings. Having to deliver the bad news four days into his new job, Manley blamed the result on a weaker performance in China, a market that represents one of new CEO's immediate headaches. "The biggest challenges we face and frankly we're going to continue to face ... are all focused in China," Manley said. FCA has yet to make any significant inroads in China. In Marchionne's June plan, FCA pledged to boost production of sport utility vehicles and invest in electric and hybrid cars to double operating profit by 2022. It unveiled bold targets for Jeep, FCA's profit engine. FCA said adjusted earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) for the April-June period fell 11 percent to 1.7 billion euros ($1.99 billion), compared with 2 billion euros in a Reuters poll of analysts. Chinese demand slumped in the quarter ahead of a July cut in import duties, resulting in higher incentive spending and an increase in unsold vehicle stocks that "particularly affected Maserati," Manley said.
