80's Imperials

["imperialman" <imperialman@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a chance to look at a 81 Imperial today..... They are definitely a different kind of car. In my humble opinion they are a curiosity kind of the same way  a 1980 VCR would today be a curiosity.

-----  They seem to be universally loathed (particularly the EFi), even by mopar and some imperial enthusiasts.

I have had mine for sale for $2,000obo CDN for a couple of months, and not even an offer. Mine is factory EFi still, runs great (started in -30c) and comes with enough spare parts to keep it running for the next 50 years. I would say the market is just not there for the 81-83 models. I guess I will just have to keep my 83. Boo hoo.

  Have these years lost their collectibility? My friend has an 81&82 for sale. Both cars are EFI and both ran when they were parked a few years ago. One has low miles. He wants sell both cars for $1,000.00. Seems pretty cheap ($500.00 apiece)
if you only wanted parts. The cars are in Minnesota and he would like to see them go to  an Imperial lover. Call George at 763-441-3485.
