IML: 1974 Imperial Coupe on E-Bay



I have been reading the ongoing threads about the white Imperial coupe that is for sale on E-Bay for which you guys and gals are trying to save from Derby Moose, etc.  I commend you but in Punta Gorda, FL, we have no storage space to take in new orphans.  When you are trying to figure out about sun roofs, don’t forget that some of those cars had solid moving roof panels which had vinyl roof material on the outer surface.  Thus, seeing the roof in a photo is difficult at the angle provided by the seller.  Good luck buying the car and hopefully the buyer will end up with a great car.  The front seats look pretty good from the photo.
