Other people will be giving you their opinion of the value of the 1953
Imperial, but I am not that up to date with old car prices.

However, for your 1965 Dodge Custom 880 convertible :

Built for U.S. - 1,416
Built for export - 5
TOTAL = 1,421

Hello All, Does anyone have any idea what a 1953 imperial would be worth
with 18000 miles on it? I ran across a man that has alot of old cars and
this was one of the three Imperials he owns and would like to sell. The
interior is in beautiful shape, the windows work very good except for the
right rear sticks. The radio does not work. No a/c. I believe it has a 331
Hemi that runs so smooth and quiet it makes you drool. The paint job is in
great shape, he has got wire spoked wheel covers on it now which realy
dress's it up, along with fog lights which I am not sure are original. I
drove it it handles good,could use new shocks and a good run.He would like
$16000.00 for it. Is that alittle high? Are these cars hard to get or find
parts for?
On a non Imperial subject, I bought a 1965 Dodge Custom 880 convertible from
this same man, is there anyone who could tell me where to find any
production numbers on that model. The car is in very good shape just needs
alittle work, pinion seal leaks, I am going to switch it over to electronic
ignition as the old distributor has some issues otherwise the 383 runs real
well.
A big THANKS to all that respond, I am a proud owner of a very nice 1972
Imperial 4-door Blue
