Just arrived, this highly sought after luxury car is in excellent condition.
The Chrysler Imperials of the 1969 - 1973 era were well optioned

If only one had more time, money, storage...

I love the gold / gold.. and the wheel cover "retro-upgrade"... ;-)

 

[Davea Lux]

Some engine and trunk photos would be nice. From what has been provided it looks to be a very nice auto. Wonder what the reserve is.

The last 10.. Hope you good C-ppl, will enjoy this AMAZING Imperial, as much as I did !

Now, I will go mourn the demise of my Charger's infamous 440.. a month before our yearly holiday, "US Car camp"...

A crappy blue A/C Delco Oil filter apparently "clogged COMPLETELY up" within less than 2000 miles, while oil pressure gauge took a break.. During the whole process, the car had sufficient amounts of good clean looking oil.. go figure.. :-(

Your timing chain probably failed and clogged up the pickup screen for the oil pump. Pull the distributor and look at the backside of the upper timing gear, damage severe enough to clog the pickup screen will be obvious.

There it is "classicsllc"

Isn't this Stan's buddy, Lakeland Lash?? @commando1

 

[detmatt]

It’s gorgeous

 

[NY69]

What an amazing find. It looks like brand new.

What an amazing find. It looks like brand new.

Most cars do, after being treated to Lash's extensive detailing process. I think he also uses a photo editing program to crank up the color saturation and contrast of the photos to make things look even better.

Thnx Dave

Will make sure to check that too, when taking it apart ! It's really sad.. because that engine ran SO well, and was sort of (in)famous around here..!

 

[rags]

looking at the paint under the hood, the firewall, the inner fenders and the engine bay in general. is it possible to photoshop something like that? looks like it just came off the assembly line.

 

[73Coupe]

The buzz words "refreshed" and "just arrived" are some of the first red flags indicative of Stan's "buddy" operating behind the scene here.

Nice car, and I'll bet the reserve is over $20k. It's all just a promotional charade....

It's sad.. that engine ran SO well, but it will again.. ! Soon..

Think so too.. It was listed once before, last week.. and bid up to 10600.. reserve not met!

Actually, I think that the car is worth it in this condition.. although I'd like to see the trunk floor naked!

 

[bigmoparjeff]

I think $10-12K is probably about right for this car. I don't think it's quite as nice as the photos lead you to believe. It looks like there may be some rust bubbles under the vinyl on the right side. That would hurt the value by a substantial sum.

The rustproofing holes are a bummer too.
