Offered for your consideration is a 1951 Chrysler Imperial Sedan. This car was recently rescued from a Kansas farm and would definitely be worth the effort to restore. For one thing it is a first year HEMI car and the original 331cid engine still turns over by hand with compression. Secondly, this car is very complete and is only missing small odds and ends. Finally it is very solid and the rust is minimal. This car is missing the crown on the trunk, the small crown trim pieces that go inside on the front doors, and the clock (all of which were robbed while it was in its resting place. Otherwise this car is extremely complete and still sporting its original hub caps and fender skirts (one of the fender skirts has a broken chrome spear trim pice but the the two pieces are there). The engine turns over nicely by hand with compression and there is nothing missing from the engine bay that I can see. The carburetor is a two barrel. The clutch operates and the car rolls and steers. The wiring harness has been chewed on by rats and will need to be repaired or replaced and the interior needs to be completely redone. I do not have any keys for the car. This car has power windows and the interior is complete minus the clock on the dash and the two small inside door trim pieces I mentioned earlier. The steering wheel plastic is mostly missing because of all of the sun exposure it has had. None of the glass is broken but some of the flat glass is starting to yellow. The three pice rear window pieces are in fantastic condition and that is important because they are the only pieces of glass that are rounded and expensive to replace. The stainless trim on this car is in great shape the chrome is overall very good except for the bumpers which have some rust but the pot metal chrome pieces are surprisingly nice. As far as body rust goes all that i can see is a small hole in the front floor and the very bottom of the trunk lid is a bit rusty the trunk floor looks OK. The car has some dents on it; one on the front drivers side corner of the roof, the two front fenders, and some spots that have body filler on the car (dents are filled in, not rust). The frame looks great and only has surface rust. The car has no title but I will fill out an official bill of sale and getting a title should not be hard considering this is an antique and has been off the road since 1983. It has the fluid drive semi-automatic transmission which is a marvelously strange design. This car absolutely deserves a second chance, but I know how the story usually goes for these old neglected HEMI cars. The engine is pulled to be put in a hot rod or something and the rest of the car is crushed. I find that disgusting, but if that is what the new owner plans to do, so be it, just please don't tell me about it.
