Location: The Mile High City | Hi, Dorsey -
Is that a 1968? The grille looks different than the 1967s. I don't know the production numbers, but I once heard the 1968 convertibles were even rarer... |

Location: Perth Australia | Dorsey, when I saw your post yesterday, I went ebay hunting as I have never seen one before
As Mike says, it appears to be a 68 and theres a 4dr on ebay now with 22hrs to go at 1800 bucks that could be a huge help to get yours up and going

Better if it was a 2dr for parts, but you get that

Location: Kansas City, KS | You have a 1968 Imperial convertible.
In 1968, Chrysler went nuts with those side marker lights (either on the quarter, front fender, or side of bumper).
It's the easiest way to spot a 1968 of any Chrysler make or model compared to a 1967
The 474 production figure is correct for the 1968 model year. In 1967 there were 577 convertibles made. |

Location: little rock, AR | Thanks KC for your help. I'm hoping someone will need this to fix one that is less rusty but missing parts that mine has. I thought the 1k price was a fair price and you have a 440/TF for a Hot Rod build. |

Location: Wilmington, Delaware, USA | Up until just a few years ago I had a really nice '68 Imp convertible. She was the easiest driving, smoothest riding vintage luxury car I've ever had. She just ate up the highway miles like it was nothing. Despite her size and weight she handled surprisingly well, was powerful, stopped strong with disc brakes and was really quite quiet regardless whether the top was up or down. Real luxury in every facet. I remember driving her to Carlisle one year and we made the 250 mile round trip without even a hint of driver fatigue, which was impressive to me as my '58 Coronet left me stiff and sore after a run like that. Anywho, the prices have been pretty depressed on these when compared to Cadillac and Lincoln of the same vintage but to me that makes them all the more fun and of course affordable.
