Tim, If this is the turquoise and white 2dr hdtp, I was working with this guy a couple months ago. Had my plane tickets bought, we had a firm price, and I was on my way. I contacted him to confirm the deal was still on five days before I was to fly out to Tahachapi. He said, "Oh, no. I sold the car." Of course I ate my plane tickets. I was quite angry, because he did not bother to let me know. I had no deposit on the car, and I told him to sell it if he found someone willing to pay more for it. My "issue" with him was I wonder if he was even going to tell me he had sold it?

I too love the 60 and you do have a great one to start with. My heart is truly with the 55 and 56 years. To you guys on the list my 56 2-dr is for sale in Tahachapi. I will find the web site again and post it. Beware of the sale of it. The guy is saying the engine was rebuilt 5-years ago and that is a lie. I did some engine work but not a rebuild. I wish everyone on the list would contact the guy and low ball him for me then I could buy it back from who ever. He is asking $12,000.00 for it. That's funny since I only had put about 3500.00 into it. He doesn't deserve the car or the profit guys and gals. Tim Hulse 1955 Imperial Sedan. Have a great day. Car-Quest will have the rebuild kits for you Bob. So will Kanter. -----Original Message----- From: mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Wayne Michaels Sent: Sunday, June 27, 2004 7:34 PM To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: IML: New to me 1960 Imperial Hi, Well I bought Tim Hulse's 1960 Imperial and it now lives in beautiful San Diego. I have always wanted a 60 and this one is a great one to start with. Tim and I had a lot of fun figuring out how to get the car on the trailer since it was missing ramps. Thanks to a somewhat steep driveway and Tim's car ramps we finally got it up on the trailer. It rode proudly from Bakersfield to Yucaipa, CA where it waited until I got it registered. I went back up to my sisters where it was stored and again it rode proudly down the freeway to it's new, very much cooler, home in San Diego. Thankfully, where I keep a lot of my cars, the alley drops off fairly abruptly and allowed me to get the car off the trailer without too much trouble. I had to pump up the brakes and drove it to the local auto parts store and got tune up stuff for it. It drove great, but without power assist, the Imp was a little hard to stop. Now I need to rebuild the brakes and booster. I found that Napa has the wheel cylinders, but I would like to try and rebuild the ones in it to save a little money, any ideas where to get these kits? I currently have an 81 Imperial and have owned a 1955. Anyway this great car has a new loving home and should be on the road again soon. Bob > >
