For Sale Wanted Imperial or NY'er

[coco]

Looking to buy a 67 or 68 Imperial coupe or hardtop which needs only to be maintained, no projects, due to expense of shipping parts and lack of experienced people to work on them on my behalf. No green cars inside or out is only other concern.

detmatt has very kindly been helping me search in the background, but we have not had much joy so now asking again here in the hope somebody is looking to change their pride and joy. A big ask but my fingers are crossed.

I would consider a 66 to 68 New Yorker with same conditions I mentioned, but preference would be the Imperial.

It has been a tough nut to crack but I have found 2 more project coupes that I’d love to have in the process....

About 18.000 $ Matt without shipping. It won't be worth bringing it back to the US ;)

It’s a ‘68 so I’m out, + no power vents but I can see why they think very highly of it.

Thanks for the links guys, I know about most of the cars in Europe. Several in Sweden, Germany and one in Finland too, a Mobile Director is also available, but either need work or too expensive for what they are. I'd never buy from Sweden again after the hassle with the Cadillac.

I made the dealer guy in NL an offer on the Le Baron about 2 years ago which he turned down. He will still have it in another 2 years unless he drops the price by some way. It came from a dealer in San Diego, I did my research !

A car from a member here is what I'd like, a car which somebody cared about that I can continue to care about, but once you have one I guess you dont want to part with it.

If anyone in Europe is searching, I'd be happy to post up cars I find but have no interest in ? The pink one in Finland is quite cheap but needs interior and paint minimum. Must be rare in that colour.

One thing I learned after having a '67 Imperial for years, then getting a '67 New Yorker is that finding parts (in general) was significantly easier than for a '67 Imperial, more so than I thought it would be. The two cars have less in common than you'd think, and this is likely MORE true for a '65 or '66.

I have also been surprised at how much lighter the New Yorker feels when driving it, which probably goes without saying. Just things to think about on your search.

Alex, thank you for those links, have not seen all of those.

I do not have facebook so can't contact any of the sellers and only see small ad's and pics.

The red 68 you linked to is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for !

If anyone can help out with contacting the seller for details I'd be greatful. Member closeby to go look see would also be helpful if anyone knows anybody ?

There was a red 68 NYer for sale last year at the Carlisle car coral and it was pretty darn nice on the outside. It was locked so I couldn't look inside. I'd bet this is that car. I seem to recall the asking price was in about the same ballpark too (8 - 9k)

EDIT -- I'm sure this is the same car because he has the same wording in the description: "Preservation rather than restoration" hehe. If it had been a 2-door I would've been all over it

Is it close to you ?

Is it close to you ?

No, sorry. Looking at the point on the map I'd say it's about 3-4 hrs away from where I live.

Thanks for that Alex, I did see it before and yes it does look good ! Don't have facebook to contact seller, and location is not ideal for shipping.

If anyone has contact details I'd ask them about it.

CRV, I contacted that 67 seller when I found it on CL about 4 weeks ago. Made an offer dependant on inspection, and he said no.

Did think it was odd that it says no AC, when dash shows a rear AC switch. Has he removed AC and what else was done.? I am not fussed about AC , more concerned with having heating work ! Can't see a compressor on engine pic. Pics are all dated 2016 too ?

I thank you for the link and pics, all much appreciated.
