Lining them up chronologically was fascinating as the differences over short periods of time were profound. Cars just don’t change this dramatically anymore. If you are able to bring your Imperial, we’d love to have you here in St. Louis on Memorial Day weekend!

I have seen good photos of this car. It would require the reincarnation of Luigi Segre to bring this poor thing back to life. And $250,000.00. Then you would have a car that would maybe bring a hundred grand at auction if it were perfect.

Sounds like you are talking about the late Fran Ochsner of Horicon, WI. He had dozens of ‘64 and ‘65 Imperial convertibles and was restoring them 2 or 3 at a time.

It is just so big that I’m not sure where it will go yet. But it will be backlit as it was intended to be and I will certainly post pictures.

Beautiful car, great interior condition. Post the fender tag if you can. Looks more like F9 but it might be the angle of the sun.

It will soon be hanging in my garage. It is huge: 5 x12.

Beautiful car. The addition of the C pillar nomenclature as well as the rocker molding really dress it up compared to the very plain ‘69 coupe. The ‘70 wheel covers are bland so the substitution of the ‘69 covers really gives the best of both years.

M7Q/KK-1. Somebody spent some money with SMS and a very good upholstery shop. Well done! With Dual Air, I might not be able to resist.

Spend about 25k on it and it could look like this

They make repops for 64-5 Mustangs but they say FoMoCo on them. About $25 or so.

This is the correct bag

No,unfortunately it’s still at the restoration shop.

Such a clean look. It looks like you did the same epoxy/chip floor that I did in my concrete underground 3 Imperial garage. I also put down a continuous vinyl cove base.

You are exactly right. The last sale of a '64 Ghia was for $39,200 in October last year. That was one of the 2 Universal Studios cars which was pretty decently restored in the mid 90s. It was later sold at a B-J auction for about $100k and then left to sit for 10 years or so. The car...

Has anyone ever found a Data Plate to be inaccurate? I have a number of ‘64 Imperials and just bought another one which shows codes different than any others with the same exact options present. I can’t make any sense out of it.

This sounds like a fun project. Be sure and document your progress and post photos along the way. Do you think you have everything you need?

A quick study of sales brochures reveals the following: On Imperials, the last model year for manual A/C was 1967. The changeover to Auto Temp was possibly in the very end of that model year. 1968 through 1970 Imperials had Chrysler’s first attempt with this system. 1971 through 1975 used...

If you really want to go without vinyl, give it the appearance of an Imperial Crown as was done in 69-70. Find rear window trim from a Newport and forget the fiberglass plug. I think the window itself is the same. Julian from Germany is going to do this with his 69, so he might be a source on...

I just got some adhesive foam weatherstrip from Home Depot. I couldn’t find anyone reproducing it at the time, even Gary Goers.

Wonder how much just that shell weighs out of what, 5600 lbs. total?
