I HAVE DECIDED TO SELL MY BEAUTIFUL IMPERIAL. CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN ABILENE TEXAS BY A LADY WHO WANTED THE CAR LOADED AND PINK.ALWAYS A TEXAS CAR, NO RUST, THE ROOF HAS BEEN PAINTED A LONG TIME AGO IN THE CORRECT SHADE OF CLOUD WHITE BUT THE BODY STILL HAS THE ORIGINAL PAINT ON IT, SHE HAS A FEW CHIPS, BUMPS AND SCRAPS BUT STILL LOOK GREAT. THE ONLY TRIM THAT REALLY GOT HURT WAS THE ROCKER MOULDING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE BUT I HAVE A GOOD RE PLACEMENT. THE BIG PROBLEM ON THESE CARS WAS THE POT METAL TRIM, THE TRIM ON THIS CAR IS AMAZING, ALMOST PERFECT, THE HUBCAPS DID NOT FAIR SO WELL BUT STILL LOOK GOOD AND SHINE WELL.REAR BUMPER HAS A COUPLE OF BUMPS. THE INTERIOR IS REAL COOL WITH REAL COWHIDE INSERTS IN THE SEATS (THIS IS TEXAS), THEY ARE IN GREAT CONDITION, HAS NEW CARPETS, HEADLINING IS NICE, DOOR PANELS STILL HAVE ORIGINAL MATERIAL, GLOVE BOX DOOR IS FLAKING, THE HORN RING IS BROKEN BUT I HAVE THE RING PLUS ANOTHER, I FEEL THIS COULD BE FIXED. ALL THE ELECTRICS ON THIS CAR WORK GREAT EXCEPT THE RADIO, WAS OK UNTILL I PULLED IT OUT TO REPLACE WIPER MOTOR, I MUST HAVE BUMPED IT AS IT NO LONGER WORKS, HAVE TAKEN IT OUT TO GET FIXED. THE A/C NEEDS TO BE CHANGED TO THE NEW TYPE OF FREON. WINDSHIELD IS CRACKED ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. THE BIG HEMI RUNS VERY WELL, NO ODD NOISES, GOOD OIL PRESSURE AND SOUNDS STRONG, VERY NICE AND ORIGINAL UNDER THE HOOD, JUST HAD THE CARB PRO BUILT, NEW BATTERY AND WATER PUMP. TRANS IS NICE AND SHIFTS GOOD. NO BRAKES!!, PROBABLY NEEDS A MASTER CYLINDER KIT. HAVE ALL THE ORIGINAL TOOLS, BOOKS ECT. THIS CAR CAME WITH A RECORD PLAYER, THE LAST OWNER KEPT IT, HOWEVER, I AM TRYING TO GET IT BACK, IF I DO, IT WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE SALE, HE IS THINKING ABOUT IT, I DO FEEL CONFIDENT I CAN GET IT BUT PLEASE ASSUME IT IS WITHOUT IT, IF NOT YOU CAN HAVE HIS NUMBER AND YOU CAN BUG HIM....I HAVE PUT WHAT I THINK IS A LOW RESERVE ON THIS RARE CAR, ITS A TRUE SURVIVOR AND VERY GOOD ORIGINAL CAR On Jan-13-12 at 08:16:21 PST, seller added the following information: HAVE THE ORIGINAL SPOKE SPARE WHEEL, THE RADIO IS IN THE TRUNK.On Jan-13-12 at 17:06:49 PST, seller added the following information: NOTE..
