Ouch!

 

[Slantsix]

Good looking car. Shame that rear quarter :/

 

[Turboomni]

How much you think it would cost to fix something like that?

Having had mine fixed in the same area.. yet not quite as extensive, I'd say repair cost would almost his asking price, or there abouts..

 

[1970cat]

not an easy fix. the body lines are destroyed. best bet might be to replace the quarter.

Couldn't you pull the dents out?

Just that I recall a wheeler dealers episode where Edd welded up some keys, inserted a rod and puller then slowly pulled out the dent.

Dents, yes... creases, no

 

[barnfind]

Most of that would pull fairly easily, the low line is the tough part. The crease at the bumper and over the wheel, and pinch at the top, fighettabout it

What a shame, but even with the cost of repairing the dent, rust and respray, it wouldn't be as much as some other folks are asking for their similar vintage Imperials.

Have all of the Fusie 2dr Imperials disappeared off the face of the earth?

They are all in Europe and elsewhere.

Even if you went heavy on the dough, it's better than scrapping the car. It's not structural. A cheap way into the hobby until your skils get better.

And if you wanted to do it right, any '69 Chrysler C panel would work. (or '70-'71 with more work).

 

[SeaFuse]

Wonder if that's a fresh dent? Heartbreaking if it happened to a recently acquired classic car. Suregrip on ice situation?

So what’s your further thoughts on this IMP?


You think for low enough it’d be a good deal even with the bad quarter?


Below is what he said about it.


Thanks.

"The paint is original except for the left passenger door that was repaired & repainted before me. No rust repair, no major rust on undercarriage"

 

[Samplingman]

There's an nos 4 door quarter on ebay for $695. Probably 8hr labor to hang and spray, might be able to get away with $2K.

SELLER DESCRIPTION

1969 Chrysler Imperial with 61K miles, 440 with 4 barrel, 727 Trans, leather interior, vinyl top, new tires & exhaust. Runs & drives great. Rust minimal, garage kept. Damaged left rear quarter (see photo). $3500 or best offer.​

havent seen it, and not a buyer.

BUT, thats a 69 Imp, and if I was buying, i'd be in for <=$3K without eyes on IF:

(1) good electrical, meaning most stuff works, (2) NO other accident damage besides what's clearly visible, and (3) seller behavior (good communication, responsive, few more photos of things i'd wanna know, etc.) gave me good vibes.

thats not SO much lettuce that I'd jump off a building if i got it wrong. plus, it looks worth MUCH more than that, even after repair/transport if I had to part with it later.
