Re: IML: Spotted: 1962 Coupe for sale

Really glad that you checked this car out, it looked so good from the pics, I was getting really interested in it, although I had also seen it up for sale for sometime and had wondered why, maybe others had checked it out and found the problems.Would have been a real after purchase headache for me, UK based !!

Many of us have seen this car for sale before. Usually, if something comes up over and over again there is a good reason why, particularly if the price isn't ridiculous. You have done the right thing by checking it out thoroughly before making a commitment. Lots of people don't. Look at MANY cars, and you will find the right one.

WELL - it was almost good news. I got the report this morning from my mechanic.

Quick version - motor excellent - drives good - exterior looks great.

BUT BUT

put this puppy on the hoist and you see the results of a Northern car. The underside deterioration was significant. Crossmembers rotted - floor patched at least once - rear quarters were fabricated with fiberglass. I could have bought this car for $5000 - but it has a minimum of that again to fix the underside. I will try and get some shots of it to show but it was sad. Such a beautiful car. Tonight I will take it back. I would think someone with fabricating skills would be a likely purchaser - not a guy like me with ten thumbs. But I expect that would be with you not putting any $ on you man hours to restore only the parts.

I am off this July 01 to a auction where they have a 1957 Imperial GHIA limousine at auction. 1 of 36. Probably way outta my price range - BUT if no one shows up - YA NEVER KNOW. They also have a 1973 Imperial LeBaron 4 door hardtop there. Most will see it as a land yacht. I am real attached to these Land Yachts though.

Will let you know.

WELL - I went and looked at it. Will get full details out soon - but it is a Crown - in good shape too. Matter of fact - so good I convinced the man to let me bring it home tonight so my mechanic can look it over.

Thanks for the lead -

I have seen this car for sale on-line for years, literally. Same pictures. Don't know any more than that but it might mean something.

I wandered across a 1962 Coupe for sale. Has the fancy deck lid.
Doesn't claim to be a crown, and I can't tell from the pictures whether
it is or not.

I think that's probably Canadian $$. If anybody's looking for a pretty
'62. I have no connection to the car; just happened across this. Maybe
it actually belongs to somebody already here!
