THE CAR SAT IN GRANDPA'S MID-WILSHIRE LOS ANGELELS BUILDING PARKING LOT FOR 25 YEARS AFTER HE PASSED AWAY IN 1985.

A VAGRANT WAS LIVING IN THE CAR WHEN I RETRIEVED IF FOR MY UNCLE IN 2010. OVER THE 25 YEARS, KIDS BROKE THE DRIVERS WIND WING AND GOT IN AND DID SOME GRAFFITI WORK, RUINED THE FRONT SEAT (ANY UPHOLSTERY SHOP CAN FIX THIS) , AND THE HEADLINER (NEW KIT ON EBAY RIGHT NOW FOR $250) AND BROKE OFF THE TURN SIGNAL HANDLE,  STOLE THE 8-TRACK PLAYER AND THE SPEAKERS.  AMAZINGLY, THEY DID NOT RUIN ANY PART OF THE DASHBOARD (EXCEPT THEY TOOK THE HEADLIGHT DIMMER SONSOR)- IT IS INTACT (THANK GOODNESS!) BUT THEY DID TAKE THE STEERING WHEEL EMBLEM (ONE ON EBAY RIGHT NOW) . THEY TORE OFF THE DRIVER'S SIDE OUTSIDE REMOTE MIRROR (I JUST BOUGHT ONE FOR IT), STOLE THE HUBCAPS (I HAVE 6), TORE OUT THE REAR VIEW MIRROR (ONE ON EBAY RIGHT NOW), TOOK THE DRIVER'S SIDE SUN VISOR (PAIR ON EBAY RIGHT NOW) AND THAT IS ALL I CAN THINK OF.

IT SAT IN MY STREET ROD BUILDER'S BACK YARD FROM 2010 TO JUNE 2013 WHEN I ASKED HIM TO GET THE CAR RUNNING- I BOUGHT THE PARTS, HE AND HIS STAFF DID THE WORK, AS FOLLOWS:

ALL NEW TIRES
ALL NEW BRAKES (ROTORS/DRUMS TURNED, NEW CALIPERS & WHEEL CYLINDERS, NEW SPRING KITS NEW BRAKE SHOES AND PADS
NEW MASTER CYLINDER
NEW MUFFLERS
NEW SHOCKS
NEW STERRING GEARBOX (THE LORD ONLY KNOWS WHY THAT WENT BAD)
NEW WATER PUMP
NEW BELTS
NEW CARBURETOR
NEW HOSES
NEW RADIATOR CAP
NEW HEADLIGHTS
NEW MOPAR ALTERNATOR
NEW INNER/OUTER SEALS & BEARING ALL 4 CORNERS
GAS TANK REMOVED, BOILED OT, COATED INSIDE
NEW IGNITION SWITCH & KEY
NEW BATTERY

AFTER HE BROUGHT IT DOWN TO ME, WE DETERMINED THE ONE OF THE NEW CALIPERS AND THE NEW MASTER CYLINDER WAS BAD SO I REPLACED THEM.

SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG WITH THE ELECTRICAL SO I BYPASSED THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO BE ABLE TO START THE CAR IN ORDER FOR YOU TO TEST DRIVE IT, BUT SOMEONE WILL HAVE TO TAKE APART THE CONNECTIONS AND CLEAN THE CONTACTS AND RE-HOOK UP EVERYTHING.  THIS IS COMMON TO THIS CAR AND IS EASILY CURED.  ONCE THE JUICE GETS BACK INTO THE CAB EVERYTHING WORKS AND THE A/C WILL HAVE TO BE CHARGED.  ALSO,THE REAR WINDOW WONT ROLLUP BUT I CAN HEAR CLICKING SO THE MOTOR I BELIEVE IS FINE BUT THE TRACK IS FROZEN FOR SOME REASON.  ALL OF THE GLASS IS OEM AND IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AS IS THE IMPORTANT TRIM WHICH IS ALL THERE - NOTHING MISSING- THE EASY STUFF LIKE THE REAR FENDER EMBELMS ARE SHOT BUT ARE AVAILABLE.

THE CAR RUNS GREAT, SHIFTS GREAT DRIVES GREAT AND THE BRAKES WILL THROW YOU THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD IF YOU DON'T WATCH IT - NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITH A LITTLE EFFORT, ELBOW GREASE AND SOME LOVIN' THIS CAN BE AN EXCELLENT CRUISER, SURF WAGON OR PUSH CAR FOR YOUR ANTIQUE FUEL ALTERED DRAGSTER LIKE IT WAS GOING TO BE FOR MINE BUT I OPTED FOR A '29 MODEL "A" ROADSTER PICKUP, INSTEAD.

OR....YOU CAN TAKE OUT THE DREAM DRIVE TRAIN OUT, PUT IT IN YOUR SLEEPER VALIANT AND FIND SOMENE WHO WANTS TO PART OUT THE REST OF THE CAR AS IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS WAGON HAS A '67 440 TNT WITH STEEL CRANK, 350 HP CAM, 915 HEADS, TORQUE-FLITE AND 354 POSI 8 3/4 REAR END AND IT RUNS GREAT WITH ONLY 63K MILES ON THE CLOCK.

Airbag recall widens to include BMW, Chrysler, Ford and Toyota

Mon, 23 Jun 2014

The recall of faulty airbag inflators supplied by Takata has exploded today to grow to seven automakers. In most cases, only models in certain high-humidity regions were affected because the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found in its investigation that moisture played a roll in determining whether there would be a problem. However, some companies opted for national campaigns. The exact number of affected models for these campaigns isn't yet known at this time.
BMW is recalling an undisclosed number of 325i, 325Xi, 330i and 330Xi models from the 2001 through 2005 model years and the 2001-2006 model year versions of the 325Ci and 330Ci for the driver side and passenger side inflators. Only vehicles currently registered in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands are covered under this recall.
Neither Chrysler's filing with NHTSA nor its press release list the specific models affected, but a company spokesperson told Autoblog that at this time it only covers the driver and passenger side inflators for the 2006 Dodge Charger in Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii and the US Virgin Islands

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Chrysler to veer away from 'Imported From Detroit' message?

Wed, 17 Apr 2013

Claim some ground, control that ground and then expand. Chrysler, wandering the Earth like Kane from Kung-Fu when it came to brand message after the bailouts, pulled off the first two feats in only 120 seconds when its "Imported from Detroit" commercial aired during the 2011 Super Bowl. Two years later and now that the brand has a center in the minds of consumers, the Chrysler Group's head of marketing, Olivier Francois, says it's time to move away from the "Detroit" component of that slogan and express the "Imported" aspect.
It is, more precisely, about positioning Chrysler as genuine competition for imports and not Ford or General Motors, but rather Toyota on quality or Audi on technology. A report in Forbes said that Francois not only "wants to attract import owners to Chrysler vehicles by focusing on quality, technology, fuel economy and style," but to "take back the lead in these four things." That is the new understanding he wants people to infer from the idea of Detroit - that the nation's car capital isn't just a patriotic rallying point but a lively competitor for established giants.
Chrysler has been running ads that no longer refer to Detroit, and recent efforts have linked a specific character to each brand - like Jenny with Jeep and Steven with the Chrysler 300 - to create brand separation. Francois hasn't detailed what he plans to do to bolster Chrysler's upscale pretensions, but his efforts would be helped by CEO Sergio Marchionne loosing the pursestrings and the arrival of strong new product.
