For Sale 1968 Imperial LeBaron LIMO 130K Hemmings

[DocMcNeedy]

Not my favorite year personally...But, someone here might enjoy this. Don't think it's a repeat. I would probably love to see it in person for fun or take it for a spin.

I would not mind getting paid to drive around in that all day.

If such limos usually turn up they're run down, first restored one I see and you probably could sink a lot of Money in such a restoration. Not sure if a market in that Price bracket is there, though.

Car looks beautiful, but seats look like vinyl and oak cabinets look like grandma's screw-it-yourself entertainment center.

Wonder if it's the same car: 1968 Imperial Limousine by Stageway

Btw a little side note...this 72 New Yorker Limo still asking 5K best offer on Hemmings.

No power vents, I’m out.

I am doubting the over all quality of the restoration just based on the oak plywood console. Come on really. It should match the original wood in the accents. Matt what is that wood by the way? Maple?

It is sad I can't get by that console, the rest of the car looks beautiful. No one is going to pay any where near his asking price. He may have run out of money by the time he got to the interior.

I was thinking how uncomfortable it would be sitting in the seats next to that oversized honey oak 1990's medicine cabinet.

LOL perfect comparison. I am giving tons of quotes to paint people's oak woodwork in their home. Unfortunately for them, I tell them it will still look like oak, now it will be painted oak.

In ‘67 walnut was used and was replaced with a bronzey plain metal in ‘68. Its one of the reasons I prefer the ‘67s, other reasons include the over the top grille and lack of hood ornament and side markers cluttering up the body in ‘68.

 

[Carmine]

One of the things I love about '67/'68 were the clean Danish Modern look of the interiors. This restoration plopped an 80s Wal-Mart entertainment center in the middle of it.

The iPad ruins the 1960's wayback trip IMO.

No thoughts on the cold air tube to the carb base?

That's it's surely a wasted effort and is hopefully plumbed outside of the air filter element?

Yeah, I don't get that either. Isn't the point to capture the whole vibe? I'd want the original stereo, TV etc. You can make the TV work with a converter box, I do it everyday. (note C-body in background)

Got to keep modern people happy I guess, wouldn't be hard to correct.
