I think matching numbers has little meaning unless you have some super muscle car that is not all that hard to clone from a lesser car by the judicious addition of engine, transmission and a few trim items. For instance if you can take a mundane Plymouth and make a Roadrunner out of it, you double its value. Or a Dodge Super Bee. Or a Chrysler 300 Letter car. About the only way to make an Imperial really super valuable is to make it a convertible instead of a 4 door sedan. Matching numbers on a muscle car means that it was never used as it was intended, and that nobody took an elstrippo Belvidere and made it into a Roadrunner. On an Imperial, as long as it has the correct block, it probably means that someone bought a rebuilt motor for it. face it, if you find a 4 speed in an Imperial, it AIN'T RIGHT!!! ----------------- http://www.imperialclub.com ----------------- This message was sent to you by the Imperial Mailing List.
