Hi guys,
thank you for the welcome, let me say a few words. I am from the Czech Republic and last year I went on a 3 months long business trip to Raleigh, NC. On craigslist, I found 1965 Imperial Crown Coupe that was last registered 1984, since then it was in a barn. It is an Ohio car, so it is rusty a lot. Cracked rear leaf springs, rusted through holes in fenders and stuck engine. But the combination of dusted burgundy color with the rusted spots just made me want it more. So I did take it and eventually I found out that the engine is cracked and can not be unseized unfortunately. I went ahead and bought another 413 from an RV, also stuck, but not cracked. I loaded the engine in the trunk along with many spare parts and shipped it to Czech Republic. It was a long and complicated process, but here I am, working on the engine(s), now.
here are the craigslist ad photos:
