"He owned 40+ Imperials, this one sat in its own garage". ....What is the point if none of them are driven??
I'm very leary of alledged celebrity owned cars. I have to have undisputed proof. Pictures or videos with Frankie in the car.

My '78 NYB St. Regis Coupe also has the "Special Handling" code and the one year only color "Tapestry Red Sunfire Metalic" code w/power sunroof. The one listed is interesting but like everything depends on the price.
I like that R7 Red. It looks good.

I think he was very forthcoming about that it has a supposed story to go with it but nothing to back it up. He isn't like a lot of scumbags on ebay that would have "1974 CUSTOM IMPERIAL - FRANK SINATRA".
I give the seller kudo for asking in the listing for help in further identifying this Imp.
And yah, I like the car regardless of provenance.

Have you posted a pic of that yet? If not, I'm eager to see it.
I agree totally. There's still some honest people in the world.

Ask the Shahs in oil land why they have warehouses of supercars with 10 miles on them.
Ask the late Peter Max if you could why he had a warehouse full of Corvettes that never were started that was discovered years after his death.
Ask the 100,000 guys letting their cars rot because they'll "get around to fixin her up some day"
Why ask why.........
My 73 has paint code 999 Special Order.

Maybe that was owned by Frank Sinatra also.
You should check into its provenance.
The good news is you now know it's FE5 Rallye Red when you buy your touch up paint.

We're a little past the touch up stage but I have fallen in love with the color.

So wheres the bidding going to stop on this one? Nicely optioned with great colors but in bad shape......

If proven to be owned by Frankie.......$15-20K even in the current condition? The problem is that a lot of Frank Sinatra fans are gone too.

The one that's my avatar. She's on a transplant list, I just need to find a cheap 4 door donor.

I have to download my photos thru the KODAK printer and it sucks. I don't believe that I can do that to this website (I have tried) Maybe will download them to a friends computer and send to myself. I will them post the '59 Imperial, '78 NYB, '79 NY'r and '70 Fury ex squad. The 7k mile '69 Grand Prix I will not post here nor my summer car '04 GTO. Plus my winter car.If I had room at home for all, I could drive a different car a day.......weather permitting (Wisconsin).
