For Sale 1970 Imperial

[detmatt]

This one has been around at least a couple of times here and now again. I spotted it a couple of weeks ago and several times since in a driveway of a home pretty close to my shop. Some good money seems to have been spent on it and it's too bad that it'll be hard to recoup.

cosmetically it is a little bit rough.
Definetly needs to get a v-top again.
But I think it could be a perfect daily without worrying to much about it

There are no bad neighborhoods that close to my shop so stop it.

I haven't been to Royal Oak in many years, but was definitely a nice area when I last visited my aunt and uncle! As far as the car, I think I might have leaned toward fixing the rear quarters before the paint on the roof. It looks like the drivers rear is eaten up...but maybe that's just mud and lighting?

Sorry. :Groaner:

Another facetious reply that went str8 into the FAIL dumpster.
Glad to know that there are people still willing to go to bat for Detroit.

I like that roof. A lot of work there, and what is it hurting? That's a great platform to practice ones' art on. And bonus points for ditching the vinyl top. A buyer could always put a new top on.

Good list of parts replacement and other work done provided in the seller's ad. I'd crank the torsion bars back up a little, were it mine. Compound and polish the paint to make what's there presentable. Work and fill the lower quarters. Clean up the interior. I'd be $3K would drive this one home.

Another custom paint job only the owner could love. Fix what's broken and leave well enough alone.

I was able to Kind of like appreciate the work done by a member here on his slab Chrysler, but this design is way too busy for the car IMHO.

Underneath all the cool factor is a realy rusty Chrysler... I guess he's charging $3000.. For the kool lowrider roof job ?

No, my guess is he's charging $3000 for about $5000 + worth of engine and transmission work.

Ha ha, first, I read that as "Lightning"... That would be a very odd place for lightning to strike.. :-D
