1975 Imperial LeBaron 4-door hardtop, 70,907 original miles

1975 was the last year for the big Imperial.

I've owned the car for about 8 years (had about 65,000 miles on it then) and it has mostly been garage-kept. I intended to restore the car, but life has a nasty way of getting me to put hobby work on the backburner and with my research travel, this will be another summer without having much time to work on the car.

Car is a 25-footer (has little scrapes and dings); Car shines up nicely; It runs good (drove it 17 miles before I began putting this ad together), tranny shifts as it should; Interior is acceptable (leather seats are fairly nice, stitching on top of rear seat is coming apart and driver's seat shows wear); Headliner is pretty nice. Carpet is very good. Undercarriage is good for the car's age; Vinyl top is shrinking (a new aftermarket vinyl top that the buyer can install will come with the car). Chrome is good, but have small flaws.

Brakes are recent (put on about 3,000 miles ago); New fuel pump put in about 2,000 miles ago; New fuel filter 500 miles ago; New distributor, spark plugs and wires put on about 300 miles ago. Tranny flush about 4,000 miles ago.

Has aftermarket AM/FM cassette radio.

A/C worked last summer and blew cold (has been refitted for the new kind of Freon), but is not working now (I think it may be a relay)

Power windows, seats, and door locks not working (they all did last year); again I believe it needs a few new relays (my pacemaker doesn't allow me to work with electricity so I can't be sure).

Tires are OK, but probably need replacing in the next 3 or 4 thousand miles.

The little rust that there is appears to be just light surface rust.

Two factory service manuals (a little beaten up and a few pages are missing) will come with the car.

Want more details or pictures?, contact me through eBay.


Car is sold "as is" and no warranty or guarantee is given by the seller.

I ONLY ACCEPT BIDS FROM THE U.S.A --do not bid if you reside in another country.

Car is located near Piketon, Ohio (85 miles south of Columbus, Ohio); arrangements can be made for potential bidders to come and inspect the car.

Winning bidder is required to put a $300 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of the auction's close. Car must be picked up within 10 days of the auction's close. Shipping/pick-up is the responsibility of the buyer.

GM, Chrysler bailouts saved 2.6 million jobs

Tue, 10 Dec 2013


The Center for Automotive Research (CAR) has been studying the effects of the General Motors and Chrysler bailouts in 2009. Now that the US Treasury has officially sold off the rest of its stake in GM (and Chrysler has already paid back its loan), CAR has released its study on the effects of the bailout with this concluding note: "CAR is confident that in the years ahead, this peacetime intervention in the private sector by the US government will be seen as one of the most successful in US economic history."
Big words, for sure, but there's plenty of evidence to back up the claim. Bailing out GM alone saved 1.2-million jobs. If both GM and Chrysler hadn't been bailed out, US employment would have been reduced by 2.631-million jobs in 2009 and another 1.519-million jobs in 2010, according to the study. If both automakers were allowed to fail, personal income in the US would have decreased by $173.5 billion in 2009 and $110.9 billion in 2010. Instead, the study found that $284.4 billion of personal income was saved by the bailouts.

Chrysler readying 20 Moparized vehicles for SEMA

Tue, 08 Oct 2013

The Las Vegas Convention Center has plenty of space for aftermarket companies and automakers to show off their wares, and it looks like Chrysler is taking advantage of the spacious floor plan. At next month's SEMA Show, Chrysler will have a full 20 cars from its six brands decked out with Mopar gear.
As a hint of what is to come, Chrysler released a handful of teaser sketches showing glimpses of modified Jeep Cherokee, Ram 1500, Fiat 500L and Chrysler 300 concept vehicles. The automaker will also use the venue to show off a new line of Jeep Performance Parts offered by the all-new Mopar Off-Road Division. In addition to the images, Chrysler also issued a brief press release - posted below - breaking down some of the "industry-first features" that Mopar has offered in recent years.

FCA recalling 33k vans and SUVs for TPMS problems in two campaigns

Thu, 30 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is issuing two, separate recalls covering a total of 33,443 examples in the US of the 2014 Ram ProMaster, 2014 Jeep Wrangler, 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan and 2014 Chrysler Town & Country because of potential problems with the tire pressure monitoring system in the vehicles.
The first campaign is for 23,053 units of the 2014 Ram ProMaster. It's possible for the TPMS to not recognize the location of the data coming from the sensors in the wheels. If this happens, then the low tire pressure warning light comes on and potentially gives the driver a false positive. If the warning isn't cleared, and drivers keep going, they might not be aware of another tire that actually has low pressure. This fix for this is a software update.
The second recall covers 10,390 examples of the 2014 Wrangler, Grand Caravan and Town & Country. According to FCA, it's possible that a test mode for the TPMS is still on since being shipped from the supplier. On affected vehicles, it could cause inaccurate pressure readings. The repair involves disabling that mode on the TPMS module.
