How many 72-73 Imperials will be FOR SALE between now and into 2018?

I'm surprised it's around here still with all the county fair demo derby's. Stay tuned....
I'll patiently wait...But, this one is very intriguing to me...love to hear the story and history. Unfortunately, my gut tells me the owner has let it sit way too long and he wants to fix it up someday and does not want to sell.
 
You should get a better pic of that dealer tag...I can't make out the dealer Sid Something and White Bear Lake? Love to know if a Midwest car originally?

I didn't find much with a quick Google search, they did sell Desotos, though.
 
It finally stopped raining ...
I'm here now getting pictures and info. It's for sale, waiting on a price. I've got a bunch of pictures. She's solid!
 
Here's a few...

It's kinda jammed in between trucks and weeds. I wanted to see if it ran but there wasn't a battery in it. I could run down with one and see if she'll fire up and then I could get some side views.

If that car hasn't been driven in a while, or the engine hasn't been started either, I would be very reluctant to try and start it using the gas that is currently in the tank. If the gas is crappy, it could gum up the intake valves causing them to seize open, thereby destroying the pistons and the valves too.
 
According to the person I spoke with, it hasn't been sitting too long. He wasn't sure, but that is a good point.
 
I'll be sure to check on the title. I'll get his number and PM you, so you can deal with the owner directly. I'd be happy to help you out more if you need it.
 
Honestly, I wasn't completely sure you weren't going after it. Wish someone would get it under a roof before winter.
 
I've got enuff on my plate now. '64 300K, '62 300 Sport and my pickup(s). I don't know what I'd do with it!! Yes, it needs to be saved, it's a solid car and sure don't want it demo'd or stripped of its drivetrain and parted out.
 
I hear ya...We just got my dead horse 72 Coupe back on the road...my new gold 73 getting the workup this week, new idler arm yesterday...then my grey 73 4 door from Lance is gonna get the whole winter to get overhauled...I'd almost have to see this gold one in person to pull the trigger on it. The price isn't bad as long as the motor and/or tranny isn't shot.
