2001 Prowler Mulholland Edition on 2040-cars

US $30,000.00
Year:2001 Mileage:26850
Location:

Great for any person that wants to have a collector car down the road and get a good return in profit. This car is a pioneer for how cars use ALUMINUM CASTING FOR EVERY METAL ON THE VEHICLE(INCLUDING THE FRAME) and also the engine blocks. Also, is the first to use COMPOSITE ROTORS. This car is great for curvy roads since it has a 50/50 WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION  with the transmission sitting over the rear axle. The vehicle is a rear wheel drive, but has plenty of traction with wide rear tires. Has a great stock sound and has all original parts on it for any hardcore collector. All PROWLERS were ASSEMBLED BY HAND from Chryslers viper teams. This car will get attention; especially for the price. It does have a customized V6 that chrysler used in the later prowlers with the aluminum block, but with the LOW WEIGHT it works plenty well. With the car weighing in at a little over 2,000 pounds with all fluids and full tank of gas. Has a 4 speed transmission, and with aggressive shifting; doesn't hold any power back(also is a select shift). If someone wanted a fast drag car they could get a lot out of this car with how light it already is. A new transmission with more gears and a supercharger would make this vehicle dangerous for a amateur. The front height is adjustable, with an adjustable front suspension.The Mulholland Edition is mid-night blue with a matching rag top. Only 3,170 of these editions WERE EVER PRODUCED for the public WORLD WIDE!

Fiat-Chrysler alliance in jeopardy due to Pentastar's IPO filing?

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

The four-year relationship between Fiat and Chrysler has thus far been beneficial for both automakers, but it has also proven to be a complicated battle between Sergio Marchionne and the United Auto Workers - the latter controlling the remaining 41.5 percent of Chrysler. With the recent filing for a US IPO, it looks like Marchionne and the UAW appear to be playing a billion-dollar game of chicken, with both sides far apart on how much the union's shares are worth. If it comes down to Chrysler's remaining stake being publicly traded, it could act to drive a wedge between the two companies.
According to Bloomberg, Fiat's chairman John Elkann says "if the IPO will take place, there will be two companies, and that's different than having a single one." Now, we're not great at math, but this sounds like the complete opposite of the full merger that Marchionne has been pushing for since taking the helm at Chrysler. Bloomberg notes that the UAW's shares should be worth around $5.6 billion, but Fiat could end up paying as little as $4.9 billion for Fiat to gain full control of Chrysler. A story by The Detroit News points out that Marchionne's "alleged low-balling" is just the latest hurdle the Auburn Hills-based automaker must overcome as its ownership is being fought over for the fourth time in 15 years.

180,000 new vehicles are sitting, derailed by lack of transport trains

Wed, 21 May 2014

If you're planning on buying a new car in the next month or so, you might want to pick from what's on the lot, because there could be a long wait for new vehicles from the factory. Locomotives continue to be in short supply in North America, and that's causing major delays for automakers trying to move assembled cars.
According to The Detroit News, there are about 180,000 new vehicles waiting to be transported by rail in North America at the moment. In a normal year, it would be about 69,000. The complications have been industry-wide. Toyota, General Motors, Honda and Ford all reported experiencing some delays, and Chrysler recently had hundreds of minivans sitting on the Detroit waterfront waiting to be shipped out.
The problem is twofold for automakers. First, the fracking boom in the Bakken oil field in the Plains and Canada is monopolizing many locomotives. Second, the long, harsh winter is still causing major delays in freight train travel. The bad weather forced trains to slow down and carry less weight, which caused a backup of goods to transport. The auto companies resorted to moving some vehicles by truck, which was a less efficient but necessary option.

Court ruling to delay Fiat's Chrysler buyout?

Thu, 01 Aug 2013

We've already reported on the attempts of Fiat to purchase the remaining 41.5-percent stake in Chrysler, currently owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA healthcare trust. And while the issues still aren't resolved, Fiat has received both a bit of good news and a bit of bad news from a Delaware judge.
The good news is that the court ruled in favor on two key arguments of Fiat's, relating to what is a fair price for the Chrysler shares. The rulings essentially slash half a billion dollars off the price of the 54,000 shares owned by VEBA, according to a report from Reuters.
The bad news is that this makes the UAW an even more difficult opponent in negotiations. Its VEBA fund is meant to cover ever escalating retiree healthcare costs, so naturally, the UAW wants to get as much money as possible. Losing a big chunk of cash isn't likely to make the union more cooperative.
