Possibly seeking to re-coup 80% of the restoration costs? BUT the decades' old paint might be getting ready to have some age-related issues?

Nice car, but I can't believe it will sell for that price.

 

[Imperial dude]

Beautiful Imperial but Damnnnnn!!
For that price it would have to be all original, stored in a climate controlled garage all its life with about 500 miles on it
Or some kind of provenance like JFKs or Sinatra's personal automobile
Also can't understand the white top, needs to be black
I know......... Jimmy Hoffa is in the trunk

 

[detmatt]

Maybe if it didn’t have headrests…
but seriously, I hope it sells for that.

Those buttons don’t push themselves!

$85000! Dream on.

I'd say he is trying to recoup 100% of the restoration plus.

If he put $85000 or $100,000 in that Imperial he is currently dead, because his wife totaled up all his receipts. Now she is trying to sell it.

 

[marty mopar]

His wife had me kill him and now the 2 of us are on the lam and need the dough to buy some "insurance" in Mexico

 

[patrick66]

My '66 ragtop should surely bring $60K, if this one brings the ask, or close.

As a new member, who has immersed himself, as of late, into full frame imperial 'verts .(not my first immersion) All I have to say is, There is so much detail to these cars, that if they were perfect, then the cost of purchase should/ would be understandably high.

Do you think the day will ever come that Hemmings stops calling cars like these a "Chrysler Imperial" when they are an "Imperial Crown"?

 

[Heydoonbug]

Great point.
It’s an Imperial. It’s not a Dodge, Plymouth or Chrysler. Duh.
Maybe call it a Desoto Imperial?
That’ll drive’m nuts…

 

[Heydoonbug]

Makes me wanna watch an old Green Hornet rerun.
C’mon Kato, get the car…
