Description of 1964 Chrysler Imperial CROWN

FOR SALE- Is this 1964 Imperial Crown Convertible, black with a black/white two tone interior.
This is car is in the middle of a restoration and much of the hard and expensive work has been done.
The entire exterior was sanded down and straight edged. No dings, no dents.
All exterior chrome has been show chromed.
All stainless has been polished out and all dings and dents removed.
The interior has been completely redone in a custom two tone black and white leather.
The exterior has been painted but needs color sanding. Also, the front fascia, deck lid, and hood could use another coat of black gloss and then a clear coat over that.
There is no top. I had envisioned a white canvas top with black piping along the edges to complete the look. The power top mechanism works and the frame has been sanded and painted white to match both the top and the interior.
Mechanically she is sound sporting the legendary 413 CID Wedge Head V-8.
The transmission is smooth and 1964 was the final year for the push-button shift selector.
The steering wheel that is shown was restored however, it does not fit this column. My suggestion is that the column be replaced with one that tilts. There is a steering wheel that is included that has not been restored but does fit the current non-tilt column.
New battery.
Original radiator and mechanical fan replaced with aluminum radiator and electric fan with temperature sensor and alternative manual engage switch.
This car was designed by legendary automotive stylist Elwood P. Engle who is the famed stylist behind the stories 1961 Lincoln Continental.
Engle was hired by Chrysler as its chief stylist and his first project was the 1964 Imperial.
This car bears a strikingresemblance to the '61 Continental, particularly the sides and the front end with the 1964 model being the only year Imperial sported the "floating Continental grille").
All the necessary parts are included for you to finish putting her back together.
These cars in mint condition sell for upwards of $45,000 and they are becoming rarer as less than 100 still exist.
