[Mbaird]

1975 Imperial Coupe with Crown pkg . 1of 1300 in 1975 . Last year for Imperial as a seperate brand .
75,000 original miles .
I am essentially the 2nd owner . Original owner passed away and their nephew inherited it . He traded it in to a small dealership . The dealer retired soon after , closed the dealership and let it sit for 15+ years . I bought it from him .
Story checks out as I know several people that know him and all vouch for his character .


Sherwood Green Metallic with green leather and top .
Triple pickle !

All original body panels
Absolutely no rust ! Amazing !!
Original interior
Carpet is mint
A/C works
New tires
Glass is great
4 wheel disc brakes @ 90% and rotors look close to new thickness .
Chrome trim all nice
Headlights open and close as should .
Power antenna works
Powers seats all function properly .
I Rebuilt the Thermoquad .
All fluids replaced

I have been driving it daily for the last few months and it is super tight and quiet . I love driving this car . But I have too many projects . It was a lot of fun bringing this car back to its glory and it draws way more attention than I expected .

$ 10,500

Is this the car that had sat outside for a long time?

Yes … but Idaho is very dry and the trees actually protected it from the sun .

Is there a point to your question ? Are you interested?

Gorgeous! Do you have a photo of the fender tag?

Can you provide exterior pics of the rear seat side windows where this car previously had the padded "St. Regis" style vinyl roof and used plugs for those windows?

engine pics, trunk....?

Good idea . Will post some tomorrow

No fender tag … my guess is that a technician got tired of cutting his hands on it and removed it . Chrysler chose to mount them to the radiator support and they hung over creating a nuisance. I do however have 2 build sheets .

Yes .. and I just realized that the interior pics I posted were of the disassembled rear panels while I was working on it.

Thank you but I asked for the exterior view since it appears that the vinyl has been removed and the window plugs remain in place.

here is a close up of the opera window plug . I stripped and primed/resealed top to prevent rust issues under new top . I have been waiting 3 months for a new top from SMS . They finally sent one last week but it was a full top … urgh ! This after I had a discussion with them detailing exactly what I needed including pictures .

Sorry , I was in the process. Im a bit slow .

 

[Mbaird]

I also reinforced the plugs with fiberglass resin to insure integrity long term.

Funny thing is that the 1/4 window motors and tracks are in there unused for 50 years ! Lol

Yes, I have found in every Imp/NYB with this style roof to have the mechanisms left in place.

Beautiful car, so to clarify, you will finish the top? Pre-lean doesn’t mean more power, just mean less trouble with the system, right?
