For Sale 1962 Imperial.

[commando1]

I was asked to look at a 62 Imperial to help sell it. I have ZERO stake in the car. Deal direct with the seller - I am not a middle man.

1962 Imperial 4 door hardtop w/A.C. and power vents.
Background: Current owner bought it out of Miami 12 years ago.
Drove it back to Sebring and it has basically has sat in the garage since, save for an infrequent local car show.
No paper trail but assume it has rolled over.
The car is very much original except for an older repaint in its original Caramel, and wearables (tires, exhaust, etc).
He is asking $20,000.00.
Knock him down a few and youl have gotten a very good deal in my opinion.
Rust-free above and under. Very heavily undrcoated.
Said to run very well.
Its a very good 3+/-2 car.
Contact: Ed Brown directly @ 954-931-4542.

I like the color but not the price. The Imperial in Columbus WI. is almost 2/3 less money and I posted it here last fall.

This is a very cool fully loaded 63 Chrysler Imperial 4 door. It is Black with a grey leather interior. The car came from a nice Mopar collection, and has been well maintained. The steering wheel is very cool and oval, and it has the push button transmission, power windows, air etc. The car runs great, but has been in storage a while and needs to be driven short distances for a while to make sure Everything works well. I do not have it licenced and have not taken on any long trips.This would make a neat cruiser. Please come look at the car before trying to make any kind of offers over the phone. Cash talks.
$7,995.00

Nice car... of course I want it... but I can't bring myself to throw away $75 on a train set right now...

July will be expensive enough.

It looks like a nice useable Imperial. Unfortunately, there is little demand for these cars anymore and while that one is a very nice example, it rates as a 2 or 3 condition car (see below). According to this guide that I have found most reliable over time, this is their pricing results based on actual sales from a variety of sources. Their condition guide, however, is pretty tough, so that needs to be considered before using their guide:

Condition Guidelines

These are condition guidelines to help assess a vehicle's condition. Keep in mind that there are many factors that affect value. For example, a "barn find" may on the surface look like a #4 or #5 vehicle, but it's time capsule character often means it is worth far more than it's condition would normally warrant.

#1 Excellent: A close to perfect original or a very well restored vehicle. Generally a body-off restoration, but a well done body-on restoration that has been extensively detailed may qualify. The vehicle is stunning to look at and any flaws are trivial and not readily apparent. Everything works as new. All equipment is original, NOS, or excellent quality reproductions. Note: cost no object concours restorations should be considered 1+ condition.

#2 Very Good: An extremely presentable vehicle showing minimal wear, or a well restored vehicle. Runs and drives smooth and tight. Needs no mechanical or cosmetic work. All areas (chassis not required) have been fully detailed. Beautiful to look at but clearly below a #1 vehicle.

#3 Good: Presentable inside and out with some signs of wear. Not detailed but very clean. Body should be straight and solid with no apparent rust and absolutely no rust-through anywhere. Shiny, attractive paint but may have evidence of minor fading or checking or other imperfections. Runs and drives well. May need some minor mechanical or cosmetic work but is fully usable and enjoyable as is.

#4 Fair: runs and drives OK but needs work throughout the vehicle. Body shows signs of wear or previous restoration work. Any rust should be minimal and not in any structural areas. Cosmetics, body, and mechanics all need work to some degree.

#5 Poor: In need of complete restoration, but is complete and not a rust bucket beyond repair. May or may not run. Not roadworthy.

Parts or Salvage: Incomplete vehicle most useful for parts. Generally, take 50-60% of the #5 value
