1979 Chrysler Cordoba (((one Owner Time Capsule--52,000 Actual Miles))) on 2040-cars
Omaha, Nebraska, United States
READ THIS ONE CAREFULLY IT'S A VERY COOL STORY....much like a "barn find" but stored in a garage since 1991.
Bought new at Baxter Chrysler-Plymouth in Omaha, Nebraska in the fall of 1978, the Chrysler was carefully driven until the purchase of the "new car" in 1991, an Olds 98. But the beloved Chrysler wasn't traded it was parked in the elderly couple's single car garage and covered up with blankets...LOTS of blankets!!! Fast forward the spring of 2014. Mr. M**** passed away leaving the beloved and beautiful Cordoba still covered under all those blankets. This is where I came in, purchasing the car from the estate. A new battery and some fresh gas the car fired right up!! Backed it from the garage and YES the "new car" '91 Olds right there in the driveway too!! The Olds NEVER saw the garage in 23 years there was only room for one...the beloved Cordoba......... The elderly couple kept EVERY single piece of documentation. Including the factory window sticker, the original bill of sale showing a 1966 "Pontiac 2-door" being traded in on the Chrysler. Even service coupons and promotions from Baxter's Chrysler were kept neatly with ALL the other paperwork. And the warranty booklet and owners manual and alot more!! All of these items AND a new Nebraska title stating ACTUAL MILES on the face!! Not an exempt title..it's an ACTUAL mile title!! The car is in MINT condition. NEVER rusted, damaged or repainted. The car you see in the pictures has not been detailed, just lightly cleaned. The ONLY cosmetic issues are as follows: A few and I mean very few stone chips on the nose of the car near the headlights. On the door panels, the plastic is discolored for some reason. My guess is that there was a cleaner used that didn't agree with it causing this sometime in the past. The car was undercoated AND rust proofed when new. The interior is in otherwise excellent condition. No rips or tears, perfect glass, carpet AND headliner. WHAT A TIME CAPSULE!! Mechanically it starts instantly and runs smoothly EVEN with the Lean Burn System still functioning. The 360 V8 2-barrell doesn't miss a beat. The transmission shifts as it should nice and smooth. The car has power steering and power brakes that stop the car nice and smooth. Tilt wheel and cruise control that works perfectly. Even a power driver's seat!! Oddly, the car was a radio delete but a $79. AM radio was added by the dealer. The car was ordered with a Sure-grip rear end but no remote or "sport" mirror was ordered. The factory AC blows ICE COLD. The tires look good but it's unknown how old they are. To sum it up...this is one of those "ONCE IN A LIFE TIME" cars that just don't come along all that often. The reserve is a fair one but I'm NOT giving the car away. So...bid with confidence and bid to own it!! If you have ANY questions about the car give me a call anytime for an HONEST discussion about the car. I just want to stress what a fantastic find this car really is!! I'm Tom and my number is 402-650-3849 OK...the fine print. The winning bidder to send a $1000. non-refundable deposit via Paypal 48 hours end of auction. The balance to be paid within 7 days with certified bank checks, bank to bank wire transfer, or cash when you pick the car up. The car is safe and sound in a climate controlled building and can stay there until it's picked up. Also, if you choose to drive it home I'd be happy to pick you up at the airport. I can also suggest a local transporter that I've personally used for years. Shipping is the buyer's responsibility and expense. READ MY AD CAREFULLY and call with any questions Thanks Tom |

Pickup prices rising at 2x industry average
Tue, 11 Jun 2013We've said it before, but bears repeating: Pickup trucks are the financial engines of America's automakers. Good thing, then, that the segment is in rude health - in fact, Automotive News is suggesting that pickup truck sales are arguably healthier than they were pre-recession, even though the segment's volume is still significantly down from where it was before the bottom fell out of the US economy. That's because per-unit profits on full-size trucks are skyrocketing, outpacing the industry's average price increases by more than double since 2005. According to data from Edmunds, the average transaction price of a full-size pickup is now $39,915 - a heady increase over the $31,059 average price in 2005 - a gain of over 8 percent after inflation is factored in.
Just how important are trucks to automakers' bottom lines? Automotive News quotes a Morgan Stanley analyst as saying the Ford F-Series is responsible for 90 percent of the company's 2012 profits, and General Motors isn't far behind, with the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra twins chipping in about two-thirds of the automaker's earnings.
Automotive News points out that Detroit's automakers now have the money to invest in modernizing their full-size truck offerings, in part because they don't have the same overhead and legacy costs that pushed General Motors and Chrysler into bankruptcy. Certainly, the pickup segment has seen a lot of innovations as of late, including turbocharged V6s, coil-spring rear suspensions and active aero. Those improvements in important areas like fuel economy and ride comfort have given existing pickup buyers new reasons to upgrade. In addition, automakers are piling on the tech and luxury goodies, creating more and more high-content, high-profit models like the Ford F-150 King Ranch, Ram 1500 Laramie Longhorn and Chevrolet Silverado High Country (shown).
Fiat to list on New York Stock Exchange?
Mon, 06 Jan 2014Citing the ever-nebulous "two sources close to Fiat," Reuters is reporting that the Italian automaker and owner of the Chrysler brand is likely to list itself on the New York Stock Exchange. The move could reportedly happen as soon as 2015, marking the end, at least in the minds of investors, of Fiat's 115-year base in Turin, Italy.
The Italian government is not likely to react favorably to Fiat's potential move from Italy to the United States, despite initially positive reactions to Fiat's landmark final purchase of Chrysler, the third-largest automaker in the US. Fiat spent $3.65 billion to buy out the 41.46-percent stake in Chrysler that had been owned by the United Auto Workers' VEBA trust fund.
With little sign of a swift European recovery, Fiat has little choice but to focus on markets outside its traditional home, and a listing in New York could potentially be a boon for investors. According to International Strategy and Investment analyst George Galliers, speaking to Reuters, "People [would be] more likely to think of the entity in the same context as they do Ford and GM" if it were listed on the NYSE.
Chrysler 100, midsize CUV and plug-in hybrid minivan launch bid to go mainstream
Tue, 06 May 2014The news just keeps on rolling from Auburn Hills today, as Fiat Chrysler continues to detail its five-year growth plan. This time round, we're talking about Chrysler. The troubled American brand has been limited in the past few years to the lamentable Sebring/200, the Town & Country and the 300, although that's likely to change in the coming years.
"The Chrysler brand is not luxury - it's not premium. Chrysler is the mainstream American brand," brand CEO Al Gardner said during today's presentation.
Gardner set a sales target of 800,000 units by 2018, which marks an increase of 350,000 units compared to its 2013 sales results. That's a pretty big ask for a brand that's struggled to define itself over the past decade.
