Joe Cocuzza Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Maybe it's just me BUT if I were looking to buy this one I would do a thorough inspection underneath seeing how, as the seller states, the "car has been off the road for years" and, as seen in the pictures, stored in an open carport - ON DIRT!!!! Plus, I see some substantial rust in the quarter panel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aaron65 Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 The '57 Imperial's dashboard is one of my favorites - I love those huge gauge pods. Obviously, this one will never be a moneymaker, but they never are, in my experience (I also never sell anything). Realistic expectations are the order of the day on this one...get it running if you can, clean it up, and have a fun "beater." Sadly, someone will probably buy it for the 392 and sell it as a parts car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Smolinski Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 The 392 is worth the price of the car IF it's not blown up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dosmo Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 "A real barn find!!!!" Ah yes - it's another barn find. Sellers love to use the "barn find" phraseology whenever possible to start the automotive juices percolating within the minds of any interested collectors. This phrase is so faded, over-used, and so passé. The seller's photos don't show the Imp sitting in a barn, but rather, an open-sided pole shed, along with a host of other hulks. I guess it's subjective, but, in my opinion, the term "barn find" is not applicable to this car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
