I like it and it's only 1100 miles one way. The last quote I got was for 600 on up to 1200 to ship one from Ca to WI.
 
All super easy fixes with the exception of the Auto Temp...if that`s what it has...

I'm trying to find out if it does have Auto Temp which is everyone's favorite system to work on lol.
 
And there you have it.
The REAL WIW on these unpopular beauties. Me? I love dancing with the fat chick at the party.

My 85 year old father owned a pile of them - a '74 Imperial coupe, a '75 coupe, a '77 New Yorker 4 door hardtop, and a '78 coupe - not all at the same time, mind you. My mother owned the '75, and an ugly '79.

Every one a 440 machine, except for the '79. it had a 360, and dad was pissed that he couldn't order a 440 for it.

I have the remains of his '77 sitting 100 yards from where I post - a long story.

Let's see some pictures....

Maybe some good parts left on it?

I'll get to it ASAP - good clip, bumpers, deck, and nearly perfect maroon interior - dad liked red or blue cars only. It was a thing with him - I also have his his two tone blue 68 Newport - TNT 440, a rusty wreck, disc brakes, electric windows, with buckets and console.
 
Here's one the daughter took a month ago, note the optional tree growing through the bumper. I reckon that's worth at least 100 grand:

That bumper is the most valuable part of that car. The derby guys will give up $300-$350 for the front and $300 for the rear one. They refer to Formals as "shockers" because of the shock impact bumpers. I'm not sure of the 74-75 Formals but most definitely 76-78 Formals.

Derby people are always trying to buy my cars - I'd crush 'em flat for scrap iron first.
 
Did anyone buy the car here? Owner sold it yesterday. I hope a derby guy didn't buy it. Anyways, I had pictures of the car and it was a pretty good deal. It was about average with the pictures of the engine bay and trunk I had received. I was still thinking about it but, all is life when I am tied up the good stuff seems to come about and when I can buy something. I'd still be curious if the ATC II had issues?
 
Here's some pictures I have received of the sunroof car before it was sold. IMG_1431.jpgIMG_4233.jpg
