This is a nice looking auto. At the asking price, the leather should be perfect and it is not.

It looks like they let it dry out over the years. Rub in some good conditioners to soften it back up as needed and you’ll have some beautiful seats that look like they should in a 52 year old luxury car.

If that is a HP 440, shouldn't it have a dual snorkel air cleaner and the HP exhaust manifolds?

Yes.

I don't know what that picture of this leather is, but its not the seats.

 

[Mr C]

The exhaust is perfect on this car...tucked in properly and tips just peeking out slightly.

Taking notes for my 68.

Beautiful.

I’m guessing that’s the base of one of the fronts.

 

[78Brougham]

Doesn't seem to match.... That pattern is way different. That dufuss should have put pics of the front seats in the ad, but going by the rears color and pattern doesn't match. I guess we'll never know. My front seats and rear don't look anything like that. Too many rows and folds.

Yes but you have a ‘67. The ‘68s are completely different.

i wondered about the upholstery picture too. it looks like a black seat but with green or blue carpet. maybe an unrelated image? i can't see it at an aaca invitational with the wrong seat.

 

[78Brougham]

I don't know what this VIN from the ad is TI789OLT2134AS215, but its not from that Imperial.

 

[78Brougham]

Just for the heck of it I tried to put that website address in and tried a google search for automainia..... doesn't exist. Very weird.

 

[tallhair]

The back looks great. Are you guys talking about the other pic? That doesn’t look that bad, but as someone sai might not even be pertinent to this car.

 

[78Brougham]

It's this picture...

I'm maintaining that this piece of leather isn't even from this car. Then curiosity got the best of me and tried to look up that dealer..
Couldn't find anything!

I know there is a 'dual exhaust' option for the 68 with a K code 350 horse assembly but I don't think there is a true L code HP 375 horse assembly for the 68 Imperial

[78Brougham]

Thanks John, I was hoping there might be more pics of it on their website.

With so few pics I'd be a bit leery of it being as nice as they tout it to be.

Probably some kind of broker.

Correct. All 68 Imperials are K codes. Both the regular and 440 Dual cars. The 440 Dual option is a K code with TNT/ Magnum bolt ons minus the cam (Dual snorkel, dual exhaust, carb etc.)...apparently good for 360 hp.

Very similar approach to the options available/ used by police (see discussion of Robio's 71 Fury I police Coupe.).
