rocketraider Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Definitely potential there. The extra parts and repairs that have been done should make a buyer comfortable. Maybe not as distinctive as earlier Imperials, but getting rid of the gunsight taillights and free-standing headlights was a great improvement IMHO. This styling just shouts "American-class luxury". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bryankazmer Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 Engel instead of Exner. I like the 64-66 design Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fossil Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 It would be hard to find fault with owning this car. Just screams for a road trip. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted October 15, 2023 Share Posted October 15, 2023 I prefer LeBarons over Crown Coupes and it would be a game time decision even with a convertible from 64-66. Prefer front treatment of 65-66. But I’m not sure about that color. I like black with black or black-blue interior. Something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Seems like a fair deal to me is the rust if repairable considering all of the other things that have been done to make this a well mannered driver. GLWTS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Phillips Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 That is a beautiful automobile and the 413 engine is good for 200,000 miles without major repairs, if taken care of. Chrysler was trying to build the best car that they possibly could with these. Engine and drivetrain are bulletproof. Quality materials everywhere--no plastic in these land yacht. 60 mph is absolutely loafing for one of these. I don't think you will find a finer long-distance highway car from 1964. My '63 New Yorker has the same powertrain, so I'm a little bit biased. Pete Phillips Leonard, TX 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B Jake Moran Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Pete- while the engineering behind these was arguably better than GM overall - the Imperial was a minefield of gremlins for the accessories. I know, I was the mechanic for a WP Chrysler club member with a 64 4 door. Surely, the Lincoln’s and to some extent the Cadillacs were no better but while the drivetrains were quite nice, the power accessories had not quite made it to 1964. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
