Have not started since 1991 trip probably. Original selling Dealer was Prince Chrysler, Pasadena. CA. West Coast Promo office. Original owner was Desi-Lu Productions. Many other hard to remember details. Repainted about 1976 in Billings, MT, about the time the car moved from California to Montana (approx) "

Desilu I meant!

 

[polara71]

why not?

Current pics of this one would be an asset. Sitting since 91 wonder if the 440 is seized? The Desilu connection would have to verified.

 

[Dobalovr]

Definitely got some 'splainin to do on this one...

The Desi-Lu connection wouldn't make it worth 1 dollar more to me.
The pics are ancient.
He's not helping his own cause in getting it sold.
I would like to see it, tho.

 

[SeaFuse]

Seller said he is unable to let anybody see it for a couple weeks. It sounds like it is in deep storage.

Kinda strange trying to sell something based on what it looked like @ 45 years ago.

 

[detmatt]

If it looks now how it used to look back then, I want it!

 

[polara71]

His arithmetic seems off but if it sat since 91 and is buried in storage, it should look as it did. My dreams are filled of finding a car buried after a 25 plus year hibernation. AND that's how I want to find it, under dust and behind boxes

I have a feeling the seller is in a Nursing Home right now.

What's with the back wheel, looks wonky.

Beautiful. But should be running and driving at that price.
It would be worth pursuing for someone serious.

So I guess the car was originally silver but repainted now in navajo beige? I would return it to silver. While I like beige on cars, I don't like it mixed with a black roof and interior. It might be a very interesting find. They were the best model year imperials ever in the styling department for me.

 

[detmatt]

What I took away from the ad was that the color change was to silver but it's not worded well at all.

 

[69monaco]

So it will be A4 or L1 on the fendertag.
He,s using the word navaho beige so i think that,s the orig factory color.

 

[detmatt]

Look at it, it needed to be silver.
