The buy it now price is $17,9000. The current bidding is at $7,500. After
looking closer at the photos, my belief is it’s bid too high already. There’s
a lot of careless paint spray under the hood which always scares me.
Particularly when some of the areas not covered show rust. That makes me think
they just covered the worst rust. If the seller really expects to get his
price, he should have pulled the engine out and bead blasted everything, then
use the correct colors to repaint. Some of the exterior shots also show paint
touchups. The interior looks very nice, but obviously has something sprayed on
everything and makes it look too shiny. Also, note in the interior shots, the
center floor air registers are supposed to fold upwards when the system is
off. Since they are down, this suggests vacuum issues.I see this as a car that
was well cared for much of its life, but was allowed to sit for many years
without use in a less then ideal environment.
I’d want to inspect this
car carefully and drive it before offering the $ 4-5 thousand I feel its
worth.

It sure catches my eye because it’s the same combination as
my first Imperial bought in 1969. I don’t see anything too wrong with it. It
appears the engine compartment was painted bright white & the engine color
isn’t correct either. The interior looks like everything is original and very
nice. If it’s as good in person as it looks in the photos, it may be worth the
current bid. No way would I buy at his asking price. The top would need to
come down to justify that.

I am thinking of buying this
63 Imperial, anyone know this car? What do you guys see in the listing that
looks bad or good......
The AC blows almost cool, so maybe just a recharge?
I asked about rust because it did come from Wisconsin....If I get close with
the guy there.
I will send an inspector as I can not make it myself. I do
trust this dealer as I have bought from him before.
