RE: IML: Spotted: 1962 Coupe for sale

[Peter Thielman <h53099@xxxxxxxxx>]

WELL - it was almost good news.  I got the report this morning from my mechanic.

Quick version - motor excellent -  drives good - exterior looks great.

BUT BUT

 

put this puppy on the hoist and you see the results of a Northern car.  The underside deterioration was significant.  Crossmembers rotted - floor patched at least once - rear quarters were fabricated with fiberglass.  I could have bought this car for $5000 - but it has a minimum of that again to fix the underside.  I will try and get some shots of it to show but it was sad.  Such a beautiful car.  Tonight I will take it back.  I would think someone with fabricating skills would be a likely purchaser - not a guy like me with ten thumbs.  But I expect that would be with you not putting any $ on you man hours to restore only the parts.

 

I am off this July 01 to a auction where they have a 1957 Imperial GHIA limousine at auction.  1 of 36.  Probably way outta my price range - BUT if no one shows up - YA NEVER KNOW.   They also have a 1973 Imperial LeBaron 4 door hardtop there.  Most will see it as a land yacht.  I am real attached to these Land Yachts though.

 

Will let you know.

So glad I could help!  When I saw it, I figured it was actually somebody on here, but ya never want to let one of these get away.

 

I have this one surrounded:  I have a ?61 and a ?63 but I REALLY like those ?62 tail lights!  Good luck, and keep us posted!

WELL - I went and looked at it.  Will get full details out soon - but it is a Crown - in good shape too.  Matter of fact - so good I convinced the man to let me bring it home tonight so my mechanic can look it over.

 

Thanks for the lead -

I have seen this car for sale on-line for years, literally.  Same pictures.  Don't know any more than that but it might mean something.

I wandered across a 1962 Coupe for sale. Has the fancy deck lid.
Doesn't claim to be a crown, and I can't tell from the pictures whether
it is or not.

I think that's probably Canadian $$. If anybody's looking for a pretty
'62. I have no connection to the car; just happened across this. Maybe
it actually belongs to somebody already here!
