Good interior and exterior condition overall. The car has been garage kept and run only a few miles per year. It runs and drives well but will need work on the power brakes and new tires to be driven safely on a regular basis. The AC was working as recently as a year ago but is no longer blowing cold. As you can see from the pics, this car is still in very good condition for the age and won't require a lot of restoration for someone that has the time to do it and a passion for big Mopars like this one.

I added a few more pics based on request for additional views and am happy to add any others. Basically, the care is already in respectable condition for enjoying at car shows and cruise-ins but if your looking for something that's going to win awards you'll need to do some reconditioning. I did try to highlight the areas that will need the most work on the car. I was repainted once before my father purchased it. He bought it in 1996 but I don't know when it was painted. As good as the paint still is, it was obviously done very well. The front bumper has a scuff and the back bumper has a slight twist to it on the drivers side - look like the prior owner must have backed into something.

Vinyl top, green paint, four doors, and hubcaps.....count me out.

oh, and the massive bumperettes.........

Very nice and very classy. People weren't as colour blind back then and you saw some different colours on the road. No real problem with the wheel covers except I have a bias for road wheels. Hope it finds a good home.

To me the only turn off is the crusty undercarriage.

I actually like some greens, but not this. There seems to be way too many of them as well.

I do agree about road wheels however....I too like them.

The hood is big, no doubt but that pic makes it look HUGE!

I like it, green and all. And, the bumperettes DO come off, ya know!

I had a '74 Imperial LeBaron 4-door hardtop in B5 Blue with a blue brocade interior and white top. Other than that damn inoperative Auto-Temp system, the car was a ball to drive. At the same time, I owned a restored green '62 Lincoln convertible and an original black '66 Cadillac Coupe deVille. Three very neat, big-*** cars in the same garage! This was mid-1998 or so.

It has too much rust in the sheet metal too.

The way they usually look when parked on wet underground.

I'm with you. Some greens I like and there are some I can't stand and this is one. Felt the same in 1968-1975.

Too much money for what it lurking under the car and poking out here and there around the door sills, trunk seams and outer wheel arch. Tip of a big iceberg.

There it is, the REAL reasons to head for Z hills.
