I have seen the car on Ebay that you referred to. Personally, I think it must be a joke. The car is finished and he wants $3,000. He has suggested that it was a show car when he bought it, and has offered to send pictures to anyone who wants to see. Every single one was beautiful once. It sounds to me like he enjoys taunting the Imperial lovers who watch the list religiously to see beautiful cars. His is trashed.
i just bought a 64 crown coupe in sept i drive it everywhere work play i even go out
at night just because I LOVE MY 64 it discussed me to see brainless people
who use old imperials for demo cars GET A LIFE there is one on e bay now
smashed beyond reconition! with the seller showing some remorse of show quatlity
before the poor thing hit the demo feild i think he regrets it, this is a pe ice of history
gone forever! if you dont want it a least part it out its better then destroying it!

Imperialists,

er crease what was a perfect body line.....owning cars of special effort and heritage such as ours does not require us to "owe" anyone else anything in terms of explanation, expectation or invitation......if one is "peeved" at not seeing them at car shows, my suggestion is you put your body, soul, time and monies (and eBay/Hemmings search) into an Imperial and clean up after an "admirers" once over.....attention or questions are not discouraged, in fact they are quite usually appreciated.......and lastly, True Imperialists never hide, we are MUCH too proud, you just need to look harder.....
