also missing tilt and tele wheel. Not sure about trunk power.

Most of the things you mention are standard on this model. To determine if loaded, I look for tape deck, ATC, twilight sentinel, auto light dimmer, side vent windows (power if offered), cruise control, fornerling lights, split front private control seats, power seats, road wheels, maybe...

was the top rotted or is it a special flat black vinyl not standard equipment

nice looking car for what we can see. Not many options other than AM/FM, power windows, etc. Why do they call it a Salon as that was only available for 1963 and 1964

i assume not dark enough to be Y9 but could be U3. Not special order most likely

That car is nothing other than junk to me. Probably hard to find parts that are not rusted beyond repair

Looks to me like it got a new vinyl top between the first and second ad

I recall vinyl top install and replacement shops were common in that era. Wonder if a dealer installed vinyl top would have had more protection under the top to reduce risk of rust (having had more paint perhaps than a factory vinyl top car)

MJC classic cars is Mike Calhoun who went to jail for fraud a few years ago as I recall

I highly doubt much of the presentation Theh console look slike it is from a 70's MOPAR / Dodge or Plymouth) From growing up in the day, I don't recalll Imperial having HP engine option in that era. Does the trunk lid opener have the line descriptio of Truck LIN instead of lid. Maybe...

After market AC is a negative. Wish it had more options but price is aggressive other than if it hit a chord with some Mecum bidders like they had in Orlando last week

From growing up around these cars at my grandfather's dealership, I would put the VIP equal or above many Monaco until you got to Monaco Brougham around 1972 or 1973. Regular Fury might have been below some Dodge Shame this one is relatively low optioned other than being a VIP body style...

I thought it was vinyl seats and not leather (none had Corinthian other than for marketing of the later Codoba)

It shows Fiore Motors so I assume he is a dealer

Fiore still shows the car for sale at $59900 on its website
