NOT MINE 1962 Imperial Coupe on BaT - No Reserve!

[UGW]

Judging by past auctions, Imperials on BaT seem to sell at very fair prices.

PSA: If you're going to cover your plate, cover it in every picture. Otherwise you just have a bunch of otherwise good pictures of your car with a rag hanging off it.

I like this one, just the colour choice is a big negative.

Why do people cover their plates ?

Wacko's can search the net and find personal information which could lead to all sort's of unsavory activity.
420 person is paranoid?
Person has warrants/back child support/crazy ex/civil judgement... and on and on...


Why not just take the tag off for the picture taking session, I mean really how hard is it? Most are just 2 screws...

The $32K in receipts shown for the work done on this 62 Imperial is a fairly accurate example on what a full body/paint, engine restoration would cost if done by an engine builder and body shop, but I've seen quotes for a lot less.
Hopefully the seller can recoup close to what he has into it.

So it sold for just a little more than the paint job cost him. He lost quite a bit on this car.

Unless it's a convertible, Imperials are rarely a good investment decision. Buy it assuming you'll lose every dollar, and do what makes you happy.

Ok thanks mate.I agree about taking it off for the photo shoot. It would also make the pic a lot more appealing.Scrubbed out shots are mentally dumbing down peoples opinion of the vehicle, on a subconscious level I believe.
