Description of 1970 Chrysler Imperial

It's time for me to sell my 1970 Imperial. I built it to drive, pretty much everything mechanical on the car is new or rebuilt. It ran really well when I first got it, but it leaked a bit of everything. So I pulled the engine to seal it up, and the snowball effectwent into full swing. I really enjoyed driving the car, so it was worth doing all the mechanicals. You can drive this car anywhere, doesn't overheat in traffic, even with the air conditioning on. Drives excellent, stops great. Its a worry free daily driver.

Full custom metal flake roof with lace pattern & crazy candy job, must see to appreciate.

The car runs & drives great, power windows work, power seat on driver's side works, passenger doesn't. Car has roughly (I drive it to work every day, so milage will go up slightly) 118,000 miles, interior is in good shape, has a few splits in the seams that have been repaired, carpet has some wear in front footwell. Cold A/C, automatic climate control has been bypassed though. Windshield has a crack. Has remote trunk release that still works. Tilt & telescopic steering wheel. The custom paint job on the roof turns heads wherever it goes. The trunk floor is solid, floorpans are solid except for one tiny hole by driver's feet, frame rails are solid, lower 1/4 panels have been repaired, patched with metal. Inner 1/4 panels have some rust, and there's a hole in the left side lower door pillar. Other than that its a pretty solid car, just surface rust here & there. All lights and gauges work, the original radio recently quit working, and the headlight door motor only opens, won't close the doors. I just unplugged it so they stay closed. Plenty of light shines through the doors. I wouldn't hesitate to drive this car across the country, over the summer it's pretty much my everyday driver unless I need to haul something with my truck. I recently bought another project car though, and I can't keep em all, so this one's gotta go. I can store the car for 2 weeks after auction ends if buyer needs to arrange shipping.
