David, According to the standard catalogue of Chrysler (and Imperial) for 2000 the price range for a 1981 1982 and 1983 Imperial is {1 being excellent through 6 being a parts car} 6= $200, 5= $720, 4= $1,200, 3= $2,400, 2= 4,200, 1= 6,000, I find it odd that they are all the same price range, but that's what the book says. it sounds like yours may be a 2. If you want a copy of the page let me know. At 09:38 PM 2/19/02 -0800, you wrote: >david knight wrote: > > > > Hello: > > > > I have located a 81-83? Imperial for sale in my area.
