1965 Imperial Crown Convertible in excellent running and driving condition, rebuilt 440 engine and torqueflite transmission, nice paint and power top, factory air conditioning converted to R134A, power windows (including power vent windows), very comfortable power seats with new, exact reproduction leather upholstery, factory AM/FM signal-seeking radio with working power antenna, "Auto Pilot" cruise control (not working), remote mirror control, remote trunk release, both soft and "parade" top boots, rebuilt suspension. All lights, signal, gages, speedometer, odometer/trip odometer work properly. It's a real joy to drive, as it has plenty of power, shifts smoothly, steers easily and straight down the road, with no squeaks, rattles or groans. It's a rare classic car that you can still drive confidently and comfortably in freeway traffic.This is a two-owner car that's been in central Iowa its whole life. I'm listing this for my brother-in-law, who has owned the car since 2000. I was with him when we found the car and he purchased from the original owner, and I've been very familiar with the car over the years. He knows he invested way more money in the car than he will ever recover, but that's not why he bought, owned and enjoyed the Imperial. He's just at the point in his life where it's time to sell. Here are some additional pictures from 2001, prior to the current paint job and new leather upholstery. I've also made a video tour of the car here: On Jun-16-14 at 10:42:51 PDT, seller added the following information: Correction: The convertible has the original, numbers-matching, low mileage 413 engine in it. In the listing I had put 440, but that was done to the 1965 light blue Crown Coupe with white vinyl roof, not this car. (See imperialclub.com link above, and you'll see what twins those cars were!) Sorry for the confusion.On Jun-17-14 at 16:52:19 PDT, seller added the following information: With hot weather arriving today, I went ahead up the air conditioning to see how it worked. It had been 10 years since the system was converted and last charged, but surprisingly only required two cans to recharge. It cooled nicely. Please see the linked video for a test of the air conditioning system.
