my experience has been with the '74 models..close to a million miles over the years..just do not come unglued if your 440 uses 500-700 miles on a qt. of oil or the starter grinds on occasion..the auto-tempII is a little wacky at times but you can't kill the torqueflight..if you can find one in good shape and have the patience to realize it's not a new car and treat it right you will have many wonderful years of ownership and can thumb your nose at your GM and Ford friends who junked their Caddies and Lincolns years ago...good luck!!...and parts are out there if you need them... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugene" <comp837@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <mailing-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 11:28 AM Subject: IML: 1966-1975 Imperial reliability > Hello list, > > I am interested in these cars and I am wondering what strengths and > weaknesses these cars have.
