Sounds like he has alot Mopar stuff for sale and is not a C body guy. Perhaps someone near him or interested could get him to send them some photos. That is an extremely rare car that should be saved.

This is also good example of how things pop up where you least expect them. Perusing the auto parts section of Craigslist, presumably with a Mopar/Chrysler/Dodge filter, perhaps not. And turn up one seriously rare car. I mean, '71 Imperial coupes are seldom seen, forget sunroof cars. Nice work 69monaco.
About a hour and a half east of me. @1970cat is closer.
A search on the number shows a lot of stuff for sale. Ed's Project Car Swap Meet - Plymouth Cuda' - Detail
Find used 1969 Plymouth GTX Base 7.2L in Sherburne, New York, United States, for US $35,000.00

$500 for a dual snorkel air cleaner? Sounds like a B/E price guide. Email and ask about the car and condition, that's what I'd do if I was interested.
about 40 minutes away.
Its a rust bucket with little on it that is useful. Obviously outside for many years and in New York, so at least sheet metal is not saveable.
saforwardlook,did you get any pictures that you could post here?
Yes, as shown below:
It was a beautiful car when it was new, that is for sure.............
Sad to see it like this..............

That thing surely is beyond rescue unfortunately. At least for what it’d be worth to bring back.
Think it’d be worth it enough to cut the roof off, take the fender tag off and all usable vins, find broadcast sheet and transfer it to a far more savable car?

Great idea Greer! I’ve wanted to fabricate a ‘One of None’ Fuselage Imperial Convertible . . .
I believe my 1971 Imperial with a sunroof was the last one in North America besides the one in this thread that is too far gone, at least according to the Mopar sunroof registry that Scott Rutlege takes care of.
I say "was" because I just sold it to a guy in Australia who really wanted the car very badly. It took me about 6 months to decide to sell it to him because I really wanted to keep it, but I already have 2 others (without sunroofs) that are in better shape that would be more easily restored and I just have to make choices to thin out my fleet. He also has all the contacts and information to restore the sunroof in this car, which is currently inop (but the motor does work) and he promised to catalog all the steps and parts he will use along the way to do the restoration of the sunroof. Since I have 3 other sunroof cars that need restoration (they are all 1971 Chryslers, one New Yorker, and 2 300s) and I do not have all the info/contacts/knowledge to do them, I decided to let him forge the way. He will restore it fully and even bought a bunch of NOS parts for the car to do that plus had me go completely through the brakes and fuel system to make them all new, and to comply with the asbestos laws in Australia. I loaded the trunk and interior with them so they could ship with the car. He convinced me that he would be a great owner for this car, and that is why I let it go. I look forward to seeing it done in the not too distant future. That will make me happy.
Unlike the car in this thread that is a rust bucket, this one is the complete opposite, with not a speck of rust on it anywhere. It was a California car all its existence with some 80K miles on it. Matching numbers engine/trans. The colors are unusual but I grew to like them over time. Straight as an arrow.
Some photos of the car are below ready for shipping now. Seeing for the last time in person will be tough................

A Moment of Silence for your LeBaron, Steve, as a fellow ex California-Sold ‘71 Imperial Coupe Owner; it gets emotional when these righteous Fuselages fly the coop . . .
