Hey Rob:
Your Dad's advice is good. That being said, sometimes a little
extra trouble is worth it! This is most often the case with
Imperials. I hope you get one over a slant six Dart or something
like that. My bet is you won't regret it.

Thank's Rob,
I'm completely aware that i'll find a car in much better
condition out in the southwest, but don't think i'd like to have
to drive it about 2000 miles all the way up to Ohio, and shipping
costing probably around $800+ doesn't seem worthwhile when i only
plan to spend 2 or 3 thousand for the car. I think I may take my
fathers advice and just get a real basic, clean and simple little
Plymouth or Dodge with a Slant 6 motor. It'll be a classic to
have fun with, (car shows etc), good gas milage, and reliable,
and not a ton of bells and whistles that could potentially fail
in an Imperial. I suppose later on in life i'll look for an
Imperial, but a little Plymouth or Dodge sounds a lot more
practical for me as of right now. Oh well..
I've already checked out CCTOL and it seems as if there are a few
options available in Ohio, and a few of them with no rust! I'm
sure i'll be fine, i just want to pay 2 or 3 thousand straight up
and get something, I think i'll be better off WITHOUT car
payments every month :)
Once again any advice, tips, etc are more than welcome, if there
are any specific years to look for in a Slant 6 let me know, I
know they did vary a bit by year.
Thanks again.

Welcome Matthew,
Good luck on looking for your first car. With your dad on your
side I'm sure you'll do fine. I understand the reasons for
waiting until you complete your move to buy, but you might want
to consider buying a car in Arizona. Almost any car you come
across in Ohio is going to have some rust, whereas it is rare in
Arizona. We folks back east are constantly shipping rust free
bodies and parts from Arizona/Nevada. You might want to
consider it.

Car(s) owned: None yet!!! I'll be in search at the beginning
of '07 when it fits into my budget. Looking for a '64 through
'66.
Self-Introduction: My name is Matt and I'm 19. I have a lot of
interest in all Mopars, especially classic's and Imperials in
particular. I got the interest from my father. I'll be moving
to Columbus, Ohio in the beginning of 2007 and then will be
looking for my first car (i've been moving around a lot and
haven't actually purchased a car) and hopefully I can find
myself a real nice and mechanically sound Imperial to drive
every day. I may or may not do this, I'm also considering
buying a newer Chrysler to drive daily, and just get collector
car insurance on the Imperial for occasional driving. Help,
tips, or any information is welcome!
