Here is my 86 convertible. It has new tires about 2500 miles on them. It runs good could maybe use a tune up. I have been driving to work daily 100 miles round trip so mileage may change. The a/c needs to be charged I took the belt off because it tries to run and makes a whining sound. The radiator, belts, hoses, thermostat, water pump, and alternator have been changed. I also changed the drivers side power window motor. The small back windows would not move both tracks which are made of plastic have broken I also replaced both of those they work like new. The shocks in the rear, brakes front and rear, along with the drums and rotors. Also replaced the shocks for the trunk. This car was my grandpa hate to sell but have to. The cruise, power locks, windows, heater and radio all work. The wipers stopped working and had to replace the bushings from the motor to the wiper arm assembly a few weeks ago. The power seat on drivers side works but something is loose under seat moves some when you sit down. The seats are in ok condition a few cracks on drivers side. The arm rest is a little faded where it says mark cross. The air vent outlet on passenger side is broken also where the sun visors mount in the center the piece is broken off it is a full piece that runs along the top of window inside. The paint is ok there is a few dents and scratches not to bad also one of the center caps of the hub caps is missing. The trunk has some white spots in the paint not sure what that is. The top has a small hole in it and just this year the back window has started to peel at bottom I took a picture of. The top goes up and down as it should. Also the dash works but in the sunlight you can't see like it is on dim? Not sure what the problem is i think the dimmer switch is fine I have a Garmin I use when I can't see the dash. Any other questions just ask would like to see it go to a good home.

Chrysler 300C John Varvatos Limited Edition returns for 2014 with AWD option

Thu, 30 Jan 2014

Before last year, many of us car guys had no idea who John Varvatos was. That all changed when the Detroit-native fashion designer lent his talents to the Chrysler 300 to create the snazzy, special-edition 300C John Varvatos models. The fashionable sedan returns for 2014 with two versions (Luxury and Limited), and the only big news here is that the latter model will be getting an optional all-wheel-drive system.
Distinguishing the Luxury and Limited models, the Luxury comes with Platinum exterior accents and is offered in a handful of colors while the Limited gets darker Titanium accents and only comes with a Phantom Black Tri-Coat paint job. Both cars get an exclusive interior design with special leathers, patterns and colors worthy of the designer's name and logo. The JV Edition is the only 300C to offer a V6 engine, but V8 lovers can still opt up for the powerful Hemi engine.
It would appear that the Luxury Edition is already on sale, but you'll have to wait until March for the 2014 JV Limited Edition, which, according to a Chrysler spokesperson, will be "limited from a production timing standpoint." The JV Luxury Edition starts at $41,195 and the Limited Edition will have a starting price of $44,480 (*not including $995 for destination) - both cars can be optioned with all-wheel drive for $2,500. Scroll down for the press release on the 300C John Varvatos Limited Edition.

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Fiat Chrysler, Peugeot owner PSA reportedly in merger talks

Tue, Oct 29 2019

Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot owner PSA are in talks to combine in a deal that could create a $50 billion automaker, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing sources. The deal could be in the form of an all-stock deal, the report said. Fiat Chrysler shares rose sharply after the report and were up more than 7% in late afternoon trading. Fiat Chrysler and Peugeot had no comment. Investors have speculated for several years that Fiat Chrysler was hunting for a merger partner, encouraged by the rhetoric of the company's late chief executive, Sergio Marchionne. In 2015, Marchionne outlined the case for consolidation of the auto industry, and tried unsuccessfully to interest General Motors in a deal. Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler had discussed a combination earlier this year, before Fiat Chrysler proposed a $35 billion merger with French automaker Renault SA. Fiat Chrysler Chairman John Elkann broke off talks with Renault in June after French government officials intervened, and pushed for Renault to first resolve tensions with its Japanese alliance partner, Nissan. Following the collapse of the Renault merger plan, Fiat Chrysler CEO Mike Manley left the door open for talks with would-be partners, but said the Italian-American automaker could go it alone despite mounting costs to develop electric vehicles and comply with tougher emissions rules in Europe, the United States and China. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares dismissed the idea of a combination with Fiat Chrysler during a discussion with reporters at the Frankfurt auto show last month. "We don't need it," Tavares said when asked whether he was still interested in a deal with Fiat Chrysler. Fiat Chrysler has a commercial vehicle partnership with Peugeot.
