The grille texture in the 1973 models was a real home run compared to the more open one of the 72 models. Beautiful car for sure!
 
Love it the way it is, battle scars and all. Boy, I need this Imperial in my shed :thankyou:
 
You're brave leaving it outside in Toronto like that...
Dead end lane, it has been very safe and I am around most of the time working in the garage. My neighbours are all friends and know me, so we all watch out for each other. My area is like a cottage town in the city.
TB was only out of garage while I was reorganizing shelves in garage and working on clients car. TB lives in a nice warm dry garage.

I haven't listed yet, for that matter, I haven't decided where or how to sell. I am thinking auction to let market decide it's worth.

This is the other video I put together. Long winded but full of photos and video for a good viewing of TB.
 
I was thinking Bring a trailer. Not sure what do do about a US buyer getting it back over. It is easy to re-import a car to US. I just don't have means to get it over for them. Trailer/truck etccc.....

Good questions, my neigbour gets Copart cars from the US, they are towed to the border and then handed off with all the appropriate paperwork and then transported to his place. I know it involves a bunch of fees to agents.
 
I know the north bound procedures, I think it's easier going south. Going south, I don't think you need to pay a broker like we have to bringing north. I was importing molars from California for years until the CDN Gov required a broker and waiting.
I just can't transport TB unless I drove and got a ride back.

When are you planning on making a move on TB, in the spring as ride season approaches?
If you wait till spring we can work something out, we have a Dodge 2500 Turbo Deisel, you would just have to reserve a car hauler from Uhall, then we both drive down to the border.
How flippin long is TB, I know the Polara is 19 1/2 feet long and went on a Uhall trailer no problem.

actually your polara is 18 feet 4 inches long / 219.9"
( 19 feet is 228 inches )
the longest C bodies are the 73 imp, 74 & 75 imps, then the 76 to 78 nybs and then the 72 imp
the 72 imp is 229.5" , the 73 imp at 235.3" - the bumper guards/teats add 5.8"
and the 74 & 75 imps are 231.1" & 232.7"
the 76 nyb is 232.7" and the 77 & 78 nybs are 231"

im not sure why the 77 & 78 nybs are abit shorter, could be placement of front bumper guards or the rubber strips being thicker, i dunno

the reason i found out all these #s is that i built a new garage and wanted to make sure what would fit
