1965 Imperial Crown convertible. This rare car ( only 633 built) with its unusual deep burgundy exterior and interior color came completely loaded with V8 engine, automatic transmission, leather power seats, P/S, P/B, power windows and vent windows, cruise control and air conditioning and working radio. This Elwood Engel designed car was mechanically sound, in fact drove 17 miles to a warehouse where it sat for 25 years. Last five years stored outside. Damaged right fender from many moves, but I have a replacement fender included. Started 2 years ago, but currently not running. Turns easily with battery. Car is complete. All side chrome, including 6 piece rocker moldings, and four wheel well moldings. Only missing front bumper bar. Needs roof, has rust in driver back floor and a few small spots in trunk, but otherwise it is pretty solid. Had it running on gas can last year, but presently only turns over. Make no mistake, it needs a complete restoration, but this unique '65 Imperial Crown convertible is definitely worth it.
