That had to be a real looker, no vinyl top ...
here we go again thinking very similar

Not my favorite color by a long shot but I'm sure it did look great early on. That's a nice deal any way you slice it.
I prefer the 69s I think but they're all sweet cars
As far as the '69-'73 LeBarons with the cheap looking rear window inserts go, I agree with you, the vinyl roof is necessary to cover them up, though to me the earlier models look better without vinyl roofs.An Imperial without a vinyl top is like a day without sunshine...................................
You guys that think otherwise are just messed up!
I spoke with the seller yesterday. He claims it ran 5 years ago, has "some" rust on drivers front fender, has new straight pipe exhaust (very loud), and has 80k miles.
I grew up in Northport. I know the block this car is on and still go back to Northport to see my folks so I can look at it for anyone.
So cool that Northport came up. Was a whaling and ship building town in the 1800s and then a truck farm industry in the early 1900s. It is a really cool town on the long island sound. Nice people, a commuter suburb of New York, and yes, the property values have been rising steadily since the 70s. Bring your wallet cause the property taxes aare sky high in Suffolk county. Wish I knew this Imperial was around when I was still living there.
So cool you took the Google tour....if you had a Google tour time machine you would have seen my 1970 New Yorker in front of my folks house in 1984. It had every fun option, twilight sentinel and all....white hard top with black top and interior....bought it in high school for $350! Been looking to find one like it for a while now.
If anyone sees one like this let me know.
Peter Would you please go and check this Imp over , how bad is the rust? Tops of fenders , hood , quarters , How bad is interior , What they do with the rear window plug when the removed the top?
Peter
I sure can. I can probably head out there next week. When I have a firm day in mind I will let you know and we can discuss the details of what you need....i may need some more info so I can get it right.Peter. Would you please go over and check this Imp out. How bad is the rust? tops of fenders, hood, quarters, How bad is interior, What did they do with the rear window plug when they removed the top? Get some more pictures. Thanks for all your help!!
70s have wider taillights looks better IMHO
