IML: Midland TX - 1973 in distress - $500

I just spoke with someone on the phone who wrote into
the club website.
PLEASE READ ENTIRE EMAIL BEFORE RESPONDING.
Parents have passed away and there is a 1973 in the
carport that was Dad's pride. Description is that the
car is blue with decent exterior and a very good
interior. Has been neglected and parked for 20 years
in a secluded carport.
It is presently not running, but the impression I got
on the phone was that it was from disuse, and not a
breakdown.
The car must go before 2/25.
Seller is motivated and is asking $500 at my
suggestion, far below the $1300 that they were
speculating when they wrote in to ask about the car's
value.
You pick up - no delivery possible.
I should mention that 1972/1973 Imperials are
incredibly scarce and are some of the best handling,
best braking, best riding, most competent Imperials
ever made, with a totally unique set of styling cues
that make them very different from other cars without
being so obvious as to have over-the-top cues like
tail fins to announce themselves, yet are a complete
styling statement, unlike so many later vehicles that
blended with their competition.
They have incredible presence and are currently NOT
very collectible according to market values, which
means that they've gone to the crusher in spades and
will likely be even more scarce later on. A great car
that is presently under-appreciated.
More info here if you've not paid them much mind:

If you have the ability to revive a car and have space
for a 73 - they're big - I encourage you to consider
this one.
Seller says that it's an easy grab with a tow truck or
trailer but would require towing from the location as
the car isn't running.
REQUIREMENT:
Seller asks that you write to them at
Atrl4@xxxxxxx
and describe your interest in the car/why you should
be THE ONE, since she'll likely get more than one
inquiry. She is VERY concerned that it survive and
seems amiable and easy to deal with. Has refused
repeated offers on the car from the local low-rider
gentry. She would appreciate it if it not wind up in
a derby or making sparks. Car must go before Feb 25.
Located in Midland Texas.
