1970 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron survivor car. First the bad: This original comes with original dings, dents, and scratches that a car will pick up from use, but all are minor. Some cracks on the rear corner markers from what appears to be a light swipe - both sides, unfortunately. Headliner in the rear driver-side corner is beginning to come loose, but is intact. Vinyl top under the rear window was repaired (underneath has some surface rust but is solid). Some sealing repair to the trunk - rubber seal was replaced with an alternative that honestly isn't cutting it. Radio is not factory, and there is a crack in the steering wheel. Motor could use a tune-up, and the front end could use adjustment to the alignment. Some of the interior stitching in the seats is beginning to stretch, but there are no rips or tears. Valve cover gasket has a slight leak, and the radiator is not original, but is still a chrysler manufacture. NOW THE GOOD: The interior carpet is immaculate - nice and plush, and not faded or threadbare. Paint is original, everything works (we haven't tried the AC - probably it needs a recharge), including those pesky diaphragms for the headlights! Some great details included are that ALL EMBLEMS are intact! All the chrome is nice and shiny - "imperial" lettering is all there and looking good. Hubcaps all bear the eagle emblem. Original rubber floor mat with crest. Even the extra seat belts mounted over the front doors are there! Somewhere in this car's history, somebody had the wherewithal to get the underside coated, and the result is that aside from surface rust on exposed heavy metal pieces, the fuel tank, floor pans, and so on are rust free. The body panels are also rust free with the exception of some surface rust at a few of the seams. Power windows and seats, and a very smooth ride. We can account for half of the car's life. Alternator is new, and new brake master cylinder seal makes for good stops. We have in the past year driven the car for several hours at a time, and it was smooth all the way. It is a TRUE SURVIVOR, and a great, rare find - one of only about 11,000 made. Odometer reads 21K, but likely it has flipped once and is 121K - 200k would make a lot more wear. Take a look at the pics - there is much to see and scrutinize, but you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions. Thanks for looking!
