Scored me a Crown Coupe !

[Mbaird]

1975 Imperial Crown Lebaron Coupe . Been eyeballing this for several years now . 2 owner local car with 71k miles , Economizer , AM/FM/8 Track , Headlight dimmers , Rear Defrost , Leather …. Couldnt get to the underhood but hoping it has 3.23s / tow pkg .
Triple pickle car ! Very excited !
Will need new vinyl top but original paint and sheet metal look amazing other than I 2” faded spot . Interior really nice ! Might need a few seams stitched .
Car drove nice when parked a few decades ago . Turns out the seller and I have many common friends .

Give it (the leather) a good soaking with Leatherique, or Lexol if not available........... on most western cars, the interiors are toast by now, so this one is an exception. GREEN, as well.

Hope it hasn't been out in the elements all that time.

By the amount of debris in the windows I'd say yes it has been, but it's also from around the Boise ID area and that is fairly dry area out that way so it's probably survived fairly well.

Congrats and I look forward to seeing how well it cleans up!

As you start cleaning it up and going through I, I'll enjoy sitting back and see what developes.

Interior looks great! Glad you saved it from that trash heap!

 

[patrick66]

So glad that didn't end up as a derby car! Nice score.

 

[Scoopy G]

We all want to know what you paid for this beauty.....

 

[Mr C]

Congratulations!!! Really looking forward to seeing this car develop.

 

[Mbaird]

My plan is to get it cleaned up and running best I can without disassembling it . All new fluids , tires , brake pads , belts , hoses etc….

 

[Mbaird]

And a new vinyl top …
Where can I get one ?
