NOT MINE 1971 Imperial 2-door.

[Turbo301]

@Turbo301 -- AFAIK, 999 is the paint code used when a car is painted a color that was not one of the standard choices that year. In this case, bright red.


Not gone for all makes, though not cheap nowadays. Cue the many, many choices at BMW:

Yeah, Porsche has the option to have any colour you want, but I can't even imagine the price .

Was FE5 not available on an imperial in 1971?

Or is there something else going on?

Ahem... The answer is no, and you know where to find it

I know I know. I was at work and had a minute. Didn't have research time.

So you left it to someone else to use their coffee break to do the work for you. I see...

Yes sir.
That is definitely one thing that internet forums are great for.
Some folks just have so much time on their hands.
Actually that's why I try to help and answer any questions that I can since I ask questions all the time.

Indeed, you and I help one another a lot, and that's why I was teasing you. Happy to have found the info you were looking for

I spoke to the seller of this car and he does not have the title to it. The title is in a deceased family members name and he says the spouse of the deceased has power of attorney to sell the car with a bill of sale and the existing title. He is unwilling to negotiate price seemingly due to the custom order color code. Does not have pictures of the underside of the car either.

im actively looking for a car but 17.5 for a 2 year non-running , obscured title car without rust pics is too much to ask imo . Could be good for someone looking for the color combo

Not sure if the new owner is a member here, but it was posted on FB, looking really good:
'Hello Everyone! Just wanted to share some pics of my 1971 Imperial LeBaron that I recently revived. It had been sitting since 1997. It’s now back on the road and driving great! This was a 1 owner car with 46,000 original miles. It’s a true survivor.'

What a nice looking car .Great color combo.I always thought that Chrysler could have made a nicer wheel cover to set off the looks of the car. Other than that it is exceptional.

 

[cuda hunter]

WOW!!
That is a VERY attractive car!

I'm pretty sure he's a member here; I asked on his Facebook post after I recognized the car from this forum and he said he was.
