I want a 2 door Imperial.
I've had 4 door newports, satellite, station wagons and pontiacs so I have not been looking for a 4 door imperial.
This 4 door was down the road from me a year or so ago so I picked it up and drove it home.
This imperial drove 5.5 hours and over 2 mountain passes to make it home.
Went down with a trailer as a chase truck in case the car couldn't make the passes.
It drove well with very few issues.
When I stopped at the top of the first pass, she just puked all over the ground. Not surprising as the car had not been driven a long distance in several years. The previous owner did drive it about an hour and a half, every summer for about 10 years to a car show.
Showed up and the car was what it was said to be.
Paid the man.
As soon as I paid the man and signed title I went to start the car up, and,
nothing.
Nothing happens. Dead car and won't start.
Drove into town and purchased all the usual's. Ballast resistor, voltage regulator and electronic control module.
Gave me a reason to go into town and check it out.
Switched out some parts and nothing still. Realize I'm a dumb *** and never checked the neutral safety switch before spending a few bucks for spare parts.
Neutral safety switch simply needed a bumping or two.
Started right up and drove on home.
I am very pleased with the actual driving part of this car. It was exactly what I expected and wanted.
Smooth driving up and over mountains with no issues.
