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



Man, $500 and you test drove it? I think you better jump on it! On the gas, we got nearly 12 in the '65 on our last trip to the Monster Mopar, about 450 miles round trip on the interstate.

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?
