Reluctantly we must pass our 1966 Imperial Crown to another enthusiast due to our current Packard Esquire project. We truly don't believe that you will ever find a better example of this model in terms of the original interior! Headlining, seat inserts, leather, claro walnut, and carpets are ALL original and are almost like new. There is one small tear in the fabric insert on the top of the driver's seat. The leather is supple, the walnut is not faded, the headlining is taught and tear free, and all the fine chrome and stainless embellishments are factory perfect. The repaint of this car is less than 2 years old.
This Imperial drives just as good as it looks, with a smooth recently re-built Torquefite transmission and all new brakes and master cylinder. The factory air system is all there and complete; however it does not work at present. All power accessories work with the exception of the passenger's front window (which we think is just disconnected). The radial tires have less than 1,000 miles since installation. Even the auto-dimmer works as well as the cruise control (this feature has been disconnected however). The 440 engine is one of the smoothest you'll find (they were factory balanced in this last body-on-frame Imperial). All exterior chrome and stainless is superb with the exception of the front bumper which is solid but needs re-plating. The trunk is very clean and has its original carpeting. Somewhere down the road, the manifold seals should be replaced and possibly a new exhaust system installed, but the car is VERY quiet! We have lavished a lot of love on this car and have all the paperwork and the owner's manual to prove it. We invite your personal inspection at any time during the auction, which, we think is always the best way to buy a car on E-Bay. We have 100% positive feedback and expect that from you, the buyer. We welcome questions about this superb Imperial--perhaps the best year Imperial of all--and we think you will be surprised at the modest reserve for a car of this calibre. This very weather-tight and dependable car can be driven home!
