I have a 75 with stock 440, original owner did remove cat. conv. though. It runs great, and If you choose you can squeal the tires. I'd properly go through the engine and see how it feels. I think you'll enjoy it.....

I never really saw one up close and instantly fell in love. It is so unique. I am a old car "lover". I read about production figures and all that kind of stuff. When I researched Imperials, I knew I had to have it. I have recently rebuilt the transmission and installed new rear leaf springs. I am going to do engine work next. I can't wait to take her out someday on the highway. I am debating about improving some of the performance on my 74. I have some friends who I've met at car ralleys and they would help me install a new .509 camshaft. It would produce 400 plus horses. I not sure what I will do. Someone could give me some feedback. I love my 74 body style even over some of the 60's and early 70's but I am jealous of their horsepower. Well that's my story. -- Checked by AVG Anti-Virus.
