I have no comments on this one although I think we've seen it before some of this work was done.
1970 Chrysler Imperial Runs/Drives Great! Cold A/C rebuilt 440 & trans
1970 Chrysler Imperial Runs/Drives Great! cold A/C rebuilt 440 & trans - $3999

It's time for me to sell my 1970 Imperial. I built it to drive, pretty much the whole car is new mechanically. Full custom metal flake roof with lace pattern & crazy candy job, must see to appreciate. Here's whats been done to the car, everything listed has about 5000 miles
* Rebuilt 440, forged flat top pistons, .03" over, stock lower end
* New cam & lifters, one step over stock, smooth idle
* New timing chain, melling double roller
* New Melling HV oil pump
* Rebuilt heads, with bronze guides, new springs etc
* New water pump
* New fuel pump
* New aluminum radiator
* Rebuilt power steering pump
* New power steering hoses
* Rebuilt 727 trans
* New U-joints
* Professionally rebuilt Holley carb
* New steel brake lines throughout entire car
* New rubber brake hoses
* Rebuilt front calipers
* New rear wheel cylinders
* New steel fuel lines
* New ball joints upper & lower
* New control arm bushings upper & lower
* Rebuilt power window motors (all four)
* New trans lines & external trans cooler
* New Alternator (high output)
* New battery & cables
* New heater hoses
* New oil pressure sending unit
* New water temp sending unit
* New pinion seal
* New axle seals
* New front wheel seals & re-packed bearings

* Tires have about 2000 miles on them
* Brand New 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust with Walker Quiet flow mufflers & bellflower tips.

The car runs & drives great, power windows work, power seat on driver's side works, passenger doesn't. Car has 118,000 miles, interior is in good shape, has a few splits in the seams that have been repaired, carpet has some wear in front footwell. Cold A/C, automatic climate control has been bypassed though. Windshield has a crack. Has remote trunk release that still works. Tilt & telescopic steering wheel. The custom paint job on the roof turns heads wherever it goes.
The trunk floor is solid, floorpans are solid except for one tiny hole in the driver's footwell, theres a rust spot over the driver's tire, and there's a hole in the left lower door jamb, frame rails are solid.
All lights and gauges work, the original radio recently quit working, and the headlight door motor only opens, won't close the doors. I just unplugged it so they stay closed. Plenty of light shines through the doors. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car across the country, it's pretty much my everyday driver unless I need to haul something with my truck. I recently bought another project car though, and I can't keep em all so this one's gotta go. Price is OBO, if you want to make an offer, please do so in person, don't bother emailing me an offer. Must sell and must see to appreciate!!

Oh dear. . .!
 
That car comes out of the garage with a 4-sale sign every year before Woodward. I'd enjoy installing a vinyl top on this car.
 
The money spent on the paint could have gone a long way to fixing the body and interior issues. I fear the derby guys will latch onto it.
