Re: IML: A million questions (Was Please Welcome Jeff Voth)



Only $500? Sounds like a steal to me! We paid $1330 for a '65 Crown Coupe 
off eBay last year that sounds like its in the same condition as this one. 
Well, okay, our carpets weren't dry....

Thanks everyone. It was fun checking out the Imperial yesterday. All the pot 
metal (?) trim inside the car is pitted and it looks like some previous 
owner did a quickie repaint and re-upholstery  job on it, but overall it 
looks "okay." There were definitely some rust bubble showing through the 
paint on the lower quarter and the carpet looked like a new but cheap kit. 
The suicide single master cylinder was low or leaking and made for a couple 
of FUN STOPS during the test drive. But the old 440 seemed to be in good 
running order. I think his price of $500 is a bit high, considering what 
might be lurking under that new carpet and paint. I think I will sit tight 
and see if his price comes down after awhile. Does anyone have any photos of 
what a 66 dash pad SHOULD look like? I think the one in this car was a 
re-cover. The only "nifty option" I saw was power windows, but they operated 
very slowly. Is that normal? And finally, please don't laugh, but what sort 
of gas mileage could one expect from a 66 Imperial with 440?
