1967 Chrysler Imperial Sedan ... Sweet ride.

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION. Vehicle is sold AS-IS without warranty of any kind. Inspections are welcome.

VIN YM 41 K 73204006 decoded-----> Y-Imperial. M-Crown. 4-#of doors. 1-Sedan. K-440 engine. 7-1967. 3-Jefferson Plant. 204006-serial number.

Driver quality Imperial. 1 of 2193 Sedans built in 1967 . Total Imperial production in 1967: 14. 91. This car was purchased new in Oxnard. CA apparently it has spent it's entire life on the west coast.

NO RUST . N ice straight body. with a recent BLACK paint job. probably considered a '10 footer'. Clear coat was peeling from a previous paint job.

Check out the pictures.

This one has the Crown trim package. factory A/C is all there (needs work and charging) but the compressor is free and the clutch cycles when powered directly.

Original 440 engine with factory AFB carb. old blooded but runs smooth when warmed up. New battery.

Fresh spark plugs. wires. cap rotor and points. Non-factory dual exhaust with

new mufflers .

Looks like the transmission has been rebuilt (has rebuilder tag) and I assume it is the original trans. Mileage shows 94 XXX. but I can't confirm it's not 194 XXX. Just replaced the strut rod bushings along with sway bar end bushings. also installed HD rear shocks.

Rear cross (panhard?) bar needs new bushings.

1967 was first year to have

disc brakes . First year without a frame. has 'uni-body' construction. Drives well. (for a 46 year old car) just

replaced all 4 tires

(could probably use an alignment). A ll 4 hubcaps included as well as proper spare and bumper jack. Trunk is huge and has newer carpeting and spare tire cover. Trunk light works. The trunk has a vacuum operated release. push button is in glove box.

Brakes function. not real touchy. I have replaced the master cylinder.

3 of 4 door windows operate (I think the window switches need cleaning ). both vent windows (electric) need work. but you can hear the motors. All glass is in great condition.

All the trim (except the hood eagle) is there and in good condition.

All the gauges work. speedometer works as does the odometer. The trip odometer does not. Factory radio missing and the plate had been opened to accept a new (rectangle) style radio. so that's what is filling the space. Electric antenna works when powered directly. (no power to switch?).

Has the ' tilt-telescopic ' steering wheel. Head and tail lights work. but no dash lights ( I think it's the dimmer switch) the turn signals work if you hold the lever in position (the cancel cam is broken) all door courtesy lights and the overhead dome light work. The 2 rear seat reading lights do not work. Interior is nice. (needs a good cleaning) door panels. carpet and headliner are nice. All the walnut trim needs refreshing. but it's all there. Needs door weather stripping.

---> All around it's a nice car needing TLC and patience to get all the finicky interior electrical gremlins in order.

Comes with a reprinted service manual and numerous spare interior trim pieces.

Has California 'black' plates and is registered current.

Clear title in my name .

Several Imperial 'officiandos' noticed that the rear window was smaller than those normally found in sedan models. Apparently the window as not an option offered in 1967. The smaller 'privacy' window was available on the Le Baron model.

(here's a regular rear window pic:

The story I got ( unconfirmed by any paperwork ) when I acquired the Imperial was that it was a Federal Govt purchase for 'embassy service' and that the govt would not buy hardtops in the 60's. I was told this car was pulled off the assembly line and completely repainted black (from light blue?) at the factory.

The headliner and window surround look like a factor install to me. there are also 2 reading lights in the rear seat area that are usually only found on Le Barons. Make up your own mind on this story. I make NO claims of it's veracity. NO RESERVE.

---> I place the car between Low and Average as far as pricing goes. you make your own decision.

I have been questioned about the seats in this car.

I did some research and found they are indeed proper for this car. If you look on the fender tag under TRM you see M 1 D which translates to Blue cloth and vinyl.

here--->

com/imperial 1967 interiortrim. html These same seats (50-50) were covered in leather as an option on the Crown Hardtops. The passenger side reclines. and both sides have a drop down armrest independent of each other.

The back seat has a single. larger armrest in the center. Both seats are electric. and the wiring looks factory to me. (each side has a separate power connection) and each are controlled independent of the other.

I MAKE NO CLAIM THAT THIS CAR IS A 'ONE OFF' IMPERIAL. BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS THAN USUALLY FOUND ON THE SEDANS.

I'VE ALSO BEEN ASKED IF IT CAME WITH A VINYL TOP.

I DON'T KNOW! ---> IF IT EVERY HAD ONE. SOMEONE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF REMOVAL . Use your best judgement as to the rarity (or lack there of) regarding this unique Imperial Sedan.

Car is being sold AS-IS without any warranty. HIGH BID WINS.
