This is a land cruise a pleasure to drive on long and short drives with the top down. I owned this car for about 7 years and loved it. I am in my 70's and need to sell my cars for health reasons. I do not drive the car much any more, just parked in the garage.It had new top about six years ago and the car was repainted when I bought the car. I could not fine any rust or repairs to the body. I replaced the OEM AM radio with an OEM am/fm and had the power antenna fixed, but still in truck. I think the car was used in Italy because I found a map from there in the trunk and it had a metric speedometer, which I changed, so I do not know the exact millage.
They only made 500 convertible this year, this is a rare car to own. If you like Imperials, this the car to own. I had a lot of fun taking it to car shows and winning a trophy.
Good luck bidding, you will love this rare car......

If you're dead serious about buying this car, and not tire kicking (it's 90 min. away), I can look at it for you.

Very nice Imp!

Even an export model it seems according to the ad; wonder what the history behind this was, a bit too expensive for military sales, Bob ?

Not for Officer's or Senior NCO's. LOL!

I remember a lot of First Sergeant's, Sergeant Major's and Field Officer's driving Imps, Cadillac's, Lincoln's, and the occasional Mercedes back in the day when I was a Private. Today.... they are ALL driving big Mercedes or BMW's. LOL!

There is a female 90 year old former US embassy employee living in my hometown who still owns the 71 Mustang Mach 1 she took delivery of in Mexico and then took it to Italy; she used to be at local car shows up to her 80s.

My friend joined the Air Force right out of college with a Physics major and Astronomy minor (WTF???) and on his graduation day he bought himself a new 1968 Porsche.
Cash...........

Not bad, fly-boy

You know where he parked it when he went off to Vietnam ?

 

[commando1]

In his parents garage.
Came home from Viet Nam, a Top Gun, picked up his car, taught two years at the Air Force Academy while going to Law School.
When his total gig was up, became an Aviation Attorney, married the Texas DA's daughter and dissappeared. With his Porsche.

I'm not even married.

Whoever ordered this car originally made such a big mistake when they specified the interior color. Just think, they could have checked the box named "silver".

IF it was available.......

 

[detmatt]

Mine is actually called gray and I'm sure it was available.

That top looks tight, crisp, and sqeaky clean just from a pic. This car has karma.

The reason why I say it is sometimes a color wasnt available in convertible form

Disapppeared? As in left town and you don't know where he moved to or went missing and nobody knows where?

Got it, you may have something there. I still have yet to see detailed color and trim info for the '67 Imperial line. Last I looked on HH it was still blank.

That is one sweet slab Imperial, for sure.
