RE: IML: Check out this 68 Imperial!!$3500.!

I just got back from looking at this car. I also just bought it. The plan is to pick it up tomorrow morning.

The overall condition I think is terrific. It has spent its entire life indoors. (except while being driven of course) So there is really no sun damage to anything. A few electrical things don’t work but that’s probably just from sitting in storage for the past eight years.

After I get it home and go over it, I’ll send more info and post some pictures.

The other thing that really caught my attention on this one was that it is a one owner car. The owner just passed away at the age of 93 and has had it since new. There is a box full of receipts and old 8-track tapes in the trunk. The guy who is selling this on behalf of the estate will be looking for more stuff on the car as they clear out the old house and garage.

More to come…..

Looks like a real nice LeBaron, and the red interior/grey exterior is a great combination. Hopefully someone on this list will give it a good home.

I'm actually going to look at it Saturday morning. The car has been garaged

all of its life and the guy claims the exterior is in great shape. But it

has sat dormant in a garage for the past 8 years. So I'm expecting the

usual things one would find with a car that has sat for many years.

Fortunate for me the mechanical and electrical things to fix are not much of

a challenge. But things like body work are way beyond what I can do. So I

always look for the cars that have clean straight bodies first.
