Re: IML: 53 imp

[captden30@xxxxxxx]

the mileage is not the only factor and can be hard to verify. usually 
the koprean war chrome needs attention and must be re-plated. you 
cannot find good used chromr for this car. i bought an original 53 imp. 
for 4,000 with 32,000 miles. the car runs and drives great but needs 
paint and chrome. i would be lucky to get back my 4,000 dollars if i 
sold it today and i have done alot of mechanical work to this 
car[brakes, exhaust, etc.]. good luck  with this one as they are a 
pleasure to drive.   dennis

  Hello All, Does anyone have any idea what a 1953 imperial would be 
worth with 18000 miles on it?

 You can check the price guide to get a general idea. We just updated 
this information on the website so go on over and check to see what 
they say.  http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1953/Prices.htm

 Considering the fact that you are probably looking at the only 1953 
18,000 mile Imperial you will ever see it is harder to put a value on 
it. As another poster already mentioned "It's only original once" and 
many a collector will pay a premium to have an original car. Looking at 
the price guide numbers and considering your description and the 
mileage I would have no issue paying his asking price.
