I'm offering my father's 1969 Imperial for sale to see if there is any interest out there before I remove the drivetrain. This is an all original car (85,000 miles) that has been sitting for almost 30 years. My father gave it to me so my son could pull the engine for his project but I don't want to do that unless there is no interest by someone in need of a complete car. The drivetrain is a numbers matching 440 that I started this week by simply putting in a battery and pouring gas in it . It started literally within 20 seconds and the lifters clicked for about another 20 before it settled into a amazingly smooth idle. It will move under it's own power forward and backwards but has lost enough brake fluid that it doesn't have brakes ( no visible line or wheel cylinder leakage). The car could be restored, has trunk floor and cowl rust, but it would be a fairly ambitious project. The shark gilled body is very straight with most panels either very, very good or in need of odd patch panels. Hood, decklid, doors, trunk all very solid. Very straight bumpers, grill and virtually very piece of trim is straight. Headlight doors opened when I turned the lights on. Dash is perfect. This would be a great parts car if someone was restoring a rust free car. Even has the original radio/tape 8 track tape and and aftermarket Kraco cassette player/recorder with microphone under the dash.
This was a beautiful car but is more of a project than I can take on right now. It is all there with tons of great parts. I am not interested in stripping parts off of it for now and would prefer to sell it as a complete car. I will be putting it on ebay if I don't see any serious interest within this group, so please spread the word to your friends who might be in need. The car is located in Warren, Michigan and I can help load on a trailer if needed. Looking for offers above $1500 .
