Yep, that's YM43T3C156822 "Old Red" all right. Beautiful GE7 hardtop!
Here is a magnified screenshot of the fender tag:

This car has become like a hooker, passing through so many hands.
I respectfully disagree. YM43T3C156822 has been very lucky: the last two owners each have improved the car substantially, before passing it to someone who might take it to an even further level.
It's the number of owners it's had in the past two years...
Maybe, but my point still stands. Why do people get so uptight about a comment?
Do you really think that comparing a member's car to a hooker is cool?Maybe, but my point still stands. Why do people get so uptight about a comment?
It is not generally OK in my book, but in the present case it also might give a distorted impression of the car's reality -- the car looks fantastic because each owner has spent the time/expertise/money to make substantial improvements, which is the opposite of the "use and pass on" that a comment like yours might be taken to imply.
In other words, folks who don't know much about that car might form the wrong impression, and it would be a shame. IMHO (I have nothing to do with YM43T3C156822, do not wish to buy it, and have never met the selling member), that Imp deserves all the positive attention that it is getting on BaT (bidding is already up to $8.8k).

It's just a dumb comment. Why do you feel the need to respond?
If anyone has any real questions about the car, please let me know. Wasn't being driven and needed to clear some space for inbound restorations.
Get a grip champ, yes, the car looks awesome and I'm aware that the present owner has improved it during his ownership, but you cannot deny the fact that it has had three owners in a very short period of time, with a likely fourth owner taking possession of it soon. Maybe you're missing the point. If such language offends you then it's your choice to be bothered by it.
No need to get all emotional about a comment. I respond because that's what people do on here, if you haven't noticed.
Not emotional at all. You're just not providing value in a thread that's about cars for sale. Plenty of other areas to make posts of no value if that's your thing. You're not a buyer for the car, so just move on.

Who cares how many times a car changes hands?
Someone doesn't want/need it any longer, and somebody does.
When this beauty sells, at the end if the day both parties will be happy.

Well, that is your opinion and you're entlitled to it, just like I am buddy. No, I'm not a buyer, I already own a 4-door '73 Imperial, if I was going to buy another '73 Imperial, it would have to be a two-door.

It's had three owners in 4 years. Doc got it in Jan 2018. I guess no one should sell a car.
That'll be FOUR owners soon. No, I don't think a car such as this should change hands so many times in such a short period of time. We understood why Doc decided to sell off most of his Imperials, and that was a shame, not his fault though. I hope the next owner will be an Imperial enthusiast who will be its custodian for a long while. Disagree if you like, doesn't faze me.

The last two owners are very passionate car people, they did nothing but give the car the best it deserved.
I too hope it finds a forever home.
I'm fascinated by this. What does the number of owners have to do with anything? Would you rather it be owned by 1 person who does nothing to improve the car but just sits on it? A car "such as this"? What does that even mean? It's a 8-12k car, not 100k. The end value of this car isn't impacted by the number of owners.
