Guys and dolls... an '83 would make a great daily driver... I use my '81 as an occasional driver and am quite satisfied. Being a CA car, it should be fairly rust free. I've never seen this car nor do I have any stock in the outcome, just want to see a fellow '81-'83 get a good home. Jim Gathmann, front engine, rear drive, you could really make this one go... --Roger van Hoy, '55 DeSoto, '58 DeSoto, '42 DeSoto, '66 Plymouth, '81 Imperial, Washougal, WA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Wilker" <wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 28, 2003 12:59 PM Subject: IML: It is time... | I was outside this weekend, playing with my '83 (I call him "Guido") I | have owned Guido for about a year, and it breaks my heart to see him | these days. I haven't done anything to get him going except a wash and | wax every so often. I start the engine and drive it forward and | backwards a few feet, but that is about it. While I love the looks and | idea, I have to face facts. I will never restore this car and get it | back on the road. I am hoping someone out there would like a chance to | own Guido for themselves. I am not looking to make a killing or sucker | anyone. Guido has a few problems, but he is a solid, beautiful fellow. I | would like to get $1000 out of the deal, but I am very flexible. I can | be contacted at: wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx or by phone: 209 874 3695. We | are both in the Central Valley of CA. Guido has a short list of ills, | which follow: crease in the rear corner with a broken right tail light | lense, ragged interior (Creme coloured velour), headlight doors in the | open position, transmission sick and the right front tyre goes flat | after a week. On the plus side, he is complete for parts and the engine | runs quite well. He has the factory carb conversion too. No rust, other | than a surface scratch. | If I cannot find him a home amongst his own kind, here in the IML, I | shall advertise in the local paper. Thank you all for your help over the | past year, and may the Imperial live forever! | | David C. Wilker Jr, | USAF (Ret)
