[JD Hall]

And double the price with all the Copart fees. Actually looks pretty decent otherwise.

I see potential on this one.

It's hard to tell from the crappy photos, but it doesn't look like the BBQ was that big under the hood. Just on the RH side of the carb. Maybe the rubber fuel line came loose or something....see what happens when you use hoses for fuel on top of the engine?

 

[JD Hall]

I’d really bet the biggest worry would be if the fire suppressant got sucked down in the engine...heard it does some bad stuff.

Who would take that to a salvage yard? Body is mint.

Uuuum.Considering there are probably, i might be wrong guys you all would no more than i,440,s are relatively common.Just get a used power train and you have a new Imp.If i had the balls i would take my credit cards and throw them at a garage and say Fix it,call me when it,s done.My favorite Chryslers really are the fusey Imps. I love the formal era,but this 69 to73 Imperials are unique.B.B

This is a no brainer

 

[thrashingcows]

These motors are tough....replace what is burnt and fire it up. I'd drive that all day long. ;)

They had it insured and the insurance company totaled the car and took it to sell for what they could. Copart auctions are typically 80 - 90% insurance company "salvage" cars.

If it were close by I'd take a chance on it. Pull the carb and intake, look down the intake area. A few days of tinkering and Ill bet you'd have a cool driver.

 

[PurpleBeeper]

I totally agree. This car could be driving for probably $300. It really didn't "cook" all that much....air cleaner (maybe), carburetor, wires, under-hood insulation, touch up the burn mark on the hood...….drive it!

 

[73Coupe]

Hopefully somebody who appreciates it will get it before a derby takes notice! Hell, I'd even be satisfied if Lakeland Lash picks it up.

Thermocrap strikes again.......

I burned my 78 Lebaron up pretty bad in 2014. I left it on the side of the road overnight. Came back the next day fired it up and drove it home. It sounded exactly like Christine after she killed Buddy. Mopars dont die easy.

Est. Retail Value:$8,000 USD, lets watch this one and see if the ConPart shills bid it up.

 

[glennb49]

Oh yes its tempting, My color even! If it were a coupe with sunroof !

 

[73 T&C]

If I were closer, I’d be all over it!

 

[ma_mopar]

It's up on the auction block. If possible someone should grab it.

 

[LeBaron1973]

You buy it and we'll all be happy for the two of you.

Maybe there's someone who could trailer it home and store it for a while until you can collect it, they're not making any more.

Have we anyone close to Louisiana?
