I’ve driven it twice since the original post. Not enough, I know!
Did you get a new phone lately?

Fresh pics from moments ago. Better late than never! Still haven’t washed her, though. I’m gonna go drive her in a few. Good thing the Auto Temp II still works, as it’s hot right now!

One more pic of “Ric” (short for “Rictus”).
Absolutely love it! Thank you for sharing...can't see enough pics of this one.
what's the history on this beauty "Ric"?

Doc, I bought my ‘67 from Bob after meeting him originally for B-body parts and we’ve been fast friends ever since.
Gotta say...I like the surfacing of these 72-73 Imperials lately by forum members.

We’re back. I always forget what a dream this baby is to drive! Another flawless performance.

Sorry to say Matt but Doc’s right: ‘72-‘73 is where it’s at!

I’m not sure why but the feel is completely different than the ‘67-‘68.
CARTOON Light bulb moment...wouldn't it be cool to have a 72-73 Imperial forum members only calendar? I'd throw in another 40 bucks...hahaha hahaha. I think I could name 12 members.

And the ‘72-‘73 is drop-dead gorgeous! Ric came to me from a liar that brought her up from Florida and couldn’t sell her to his intended mark after his intended mark backed out.

I’ll pitch in!
How long have you had "Ric"? Mine are all under one year.

I was looking for a winter beater going into fall of 2000 and saw the ad for this car for $4400. Pretty short ad with a cropped photo of the front end only. I assumed that I could talk him down and assumed that it was a four-door. I was correct on the first count. There is an oil change sticker from Arizona in the door jamb, so it has had a western/southern history. The car is so nice that I obviously couldn’t make it a beater! As it states previously in this thread, I fixed her up quite a bit (hardly anything worked when I got her). She has some prior body damage and a little rust, but nothing serious and we are in love!

Sorry Doc but I’ve no kids, so no need for fire escapes!

I really do want to restore her someday and am torn between the sun fire and black. But I hardly ever drove my RR after I restored it. I’ve driven this car 19,000 miles in 18 years, which is a lot for me!

Effing autocorrect! “Sunfire”.
