Expert 5K+ Posts: 7210 Location: Victoria, BC, on Vancouver Island, Canada | Nice, I like it, though the upholstery fabric is incorrect and a little garish for a big Imp! The master window switch looks to be from a mid-late 60s Mopar. The windshield looks to be off a 61 Imperial or later, as it doesn't seem to have the bubble top. I could live with this car in my garage!

Exner Expert 19,174 posts. Neil passed away 18 Sep 2015. You will be missed, Neil! Posts: 19146 Location: bishop, ca | For $39K....would you be satisfied to learn that you'd be facing another $2K to re-do the interior, and whatever-else-corners that were cut in creating this car, in its present as-is condition? The seller is hoping for a 'yes' answer.... Dunno how the tail pipes were 'done', but they may have been cut too short and/or not turned downward, so that the exhaust crap can not exit downward toward the pavement, and avoid spreading out, over/onto the decklid area.

So the lower "rubbert skirt" is missing !!!!!

I'm not saying I would pay $39.K for the car... I just happen to really like the color scheme and overall condition looks to be very nice and it would look good in my garage. I don't think they'll get what they're asking given the issues - that is - if a buyer actually realizes the interior cloth is incorrect, the rubber dam is missing at the rear, etc. etc. | ||

I love the car, but like you, the single headlights are my least favorite item on it. | ||

Location: North Australia | I am thinking if this cars insides are as good condition as its outsides it is a good price! By insides I mean mechanically. This is a rare car, and it is a Hemi powered, full chassis, two door hard top, top of the line luxury Chrysler built motor car. I have to say I prefer the twin headlight front too, but this one is a beauty. Like the Doc says, they ain't making them anymore and if it this model is your bent, you better get on to it! Steve. Some say Virgil's favourite car was a 57 Imperial! http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.forwardlook.net/forums/forum... Edited by 60 Imp 2014-12-16 6:26 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 3903 Location: Northen Virginia | This car is in good shape, the restoration was probably done for someone that doesn't know too much about these rare cars. I've seen some other flaws not listed above but for unrestored cars like this selling for above 10k i would say it is a good purchase. I agree that the single headlamp is not the best featured, but if the new owner plans to change them to dual, its better to get the matching grille too, since they are not the same. | ||
