Seller says - If it doesn't sell, it will either be scrapped, parted our or used for a demo derby.
That would be a shame, looks like a reasonable project, and priced OK.

Big black Imperial would be pretty neat. Looks like it sold pretty fast at the buy-it-now.

I was going to say, 5800$ for a very clean 60 coupe complete seemed like a steal...

I thought so too, and so did the person who hit the Buy it now button. There was 1504 of this model made so not many around now.

I tried to buy this car a couple year's ago, and when I asked the seller to check to see if the engine turned, the discussion ended and he didn't reply anymore. It was frustrating. Hope someone actually gets it and does something with it. It presents nicely. Not sure I would really want a mauve color one though.

Good deal. If it was mauve originally it was a thorough repaint. Wonder if Dusk or Dawn mauve, both colors are rare, dusk especially.

The value of this car won't be hurt one bit if you repaint it a non-original color

I agree....especially black. Black seems to be the right color for an Imperial, but that may just be me.

If you want a car in this condition and at this price, then I would agree having a non-original color would not hurt the value of the car. However, if you want to restore one fully, then having a non-original color would hurt the value significantly I believe. Dawn mauve is essentially pink while Dusk Mauve is darker and more classy.

Anyway you look at it $5.8k is a good price for this classic if that is what it sold for. The most important thing would be saving it from a demo derby though.
I own one of these cars and to me they are an exceptional piece of American auto engineering.
My interest in this model car started from an ad for a dusk mauve exterior with a lavender interior 60 Crown 2drht for sale in Adelaide SA. I am glad the owner decided not to sell at the last minute. Took me 7 more years to land the car I have now (in 2009), and it is awesome. If I had got the mauve one I would have painted it black too (mine is white with a red interior in close to original condition with lots of nice options)
As far as I know Mauve/lavender car is still hidden away in Adelaide needing a lot of work
