Here is a well kept example of an early 80's era Imperial. It is in very good condition inside and out. Interior still smells like a new car. Here's the good and the not so good. Interior - When i sat in this car i was sold. The seats are extremely comfortable and the shag carpet makes you want to drive barefoot. The 'Mark Cross" edition leather is very pliable with minimal wear/marks. All seat functions are in working order. The power windows roll up and down with ease. All interior lighting/lenses work and are in good shape. The radio works, and has a "rear boost" feature that amplifies the rear speakers. Power antenna works fine. The cassette player does not work. The car came with a chrysler cassette tape which i have yet to hear. haha. Power locks work. Power side mirrors motors work, but there are a few positions that need a little push with the finger to get moving again. The instrument panel reads ok, but there are some digits that could be more clear. More noticable in the mileage and gas than the speedo. It comes with a Spare instrument panel. Exterior- Very straight with minimal rust. a few dings that are hard to see unless you catch it in the right light. All lenses are good; retractable headlight mechanisms work. Bumpers are straight and have nice chrome. The car has a "Zeibart" undercoating package. Frame and floorboards are solid. Has new rear metal brake lines and new front and rear rubber flex lines. New muffler and tailpipe. All original drivetrain never modified otherwise. The car came with front and rear anti-sway bars. The hubcaps are in very good shape. The 318 was changed over from the EFI to a 4bbl carb setup. A thermoquad sits on top. Otherwise there are only minimal changes from original. The A/C needs to be recharged. The car has the components for the cruise control but they are not installed. Included with the car are a new gas tank, sending unit, lines and straps for anyone wanting to do a complete changeover like they would have done at the dealer. Not necessary for regular driving, just what came with the car when i bought it. The carb needs to be tuned better. It has a hesitation during first during acceleration, and sometimes will stall, but not often. Id opt for an Edlebrock carb in place of the thermoquad. I think this would also solve this problem. The tires are old and have good tread, but the car really ought to have some new ones. This car is currently tagged and driven occasionally during nice weather. Although not pictured, there is a spare tire cover in the trunk. Any other info or pics available upon request.
