Hi All:
I become really confused when I
attend car shows. The word 'original' is bandied around a great deal in
car circles. I admit I have no idea what my car is.it is about one-half
original and one-half restored. My IMP is original in that the previous
owner said it was when I bought it in 1993. I was told that only the floor
carpet had been re-done. Since I have had the car, it has had bumps and dents
repaired and I had a #3 paint job, very close to the original white.most of
the chrome was not removed. I added a right hand rear view mirror and also the
option of the Flight Sweep Deck, plus rocker panel and wheel well chrome. None
of the chrome has been redone, no new windows, no upholstery repair. No
mechanical restoration.just necessary maintenance such as new tires, brakes,
fan clutch, etc. Soooooo what do I have? I know it is a number 3, but is
it considered original as well, or is The IMP a half-blood or something?
I surely could use some guidance
so that I can be politically correct when describing my wonderful car without
the necessity of going through the entire above diatribe every time someone
asks. Thanks all.
