I am in the same "boat" I bought my 1966 LeBaron about a month ago and have since got it running rather well, although it remains undrivable due to lack of breaks. The best part was it cost $600.00 like yours; people really do not appreciate these cars. My "restoration" promises to be challenging as my Lebaron was completely submerged last year. Immediate projects include boiling and resealing the gas tank, rebuilding the ignition, and of course going through the breaks. Lots of fun between working and going to school full time! The progress is slow but steady; I hope it will be fully drivable in spring 2005. -----Original Message----- From: mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:mailing-list-owner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Whitney Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2004 10:43 PM To: mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: IML: Rescued a '66 Coupe Hello, fellow Imperial enthusiasts -- I just learned last week I get my project car as a birthday present -- a white '66 coupe with black vinyl top and black leather interior. No engine, but everything else is there including wheel covers. I think some kids took out the 440 to put in their Challenger or something. So much dust you can't even tell the color of the top. Last registered in 1975, supposedly spend the last 30 years in a chicken coop (not occupied by chickens) and then in a warehouse (also not occupied by chickens). In any case, dry and out of the sun. No paint fading and no blooming rust, dash intact. Best part -- cost $600. Woohoo! About the wheel covers, here's a lesson I learned. They were not visible on the wheels, and the seller said whatever's there is what's there. I asked him to open the trunk, and lo and behold, seven (7!) wheel covers. So he said I could have 4 and he'd keep the other three. Lesson: just shut up and buy the car, look in the trunk later. -- David '91 K-Imperial driver '66 Crown Coupe project
