This has been in our family since the late 60s. Unfortunately, it sat in a shed on the family farm from the early 1980s until recently. The car was literally dragged out of the shed and slowly brought back to life. The 354 HEMI was completely rebuilt along with all the associated hardware. The transmission was also rebuilt. New tires, new fuel system, new brake system, etc. The car is ready for someone that will truly appreciate it for what it is. Its not perfect but its perfectly enjoyable. Lots of paperwork to go with the rebuilding of the car. Asking $28,500 or trade. Vehicles of interest are these: RAM SRT 4dr, Chrysler Conquest or Jeep SRT Grand Cherokee. More info given to serious, serious people. Located one hour west of Minneapolis.

classiclines Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Wow, you could eat off the engine, but I'm not sure I'd want to sit on the upholstery - - - and I fail to find the "common theme" for the desired trades lol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Smolinski Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Sitting in a shed on what looks like a dirt floor, I wonder what the underside looks like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I like it, but the tow truck driver left his magnetic tail lights on the car. New Yorker tail lights, how beautiful you are.🤔 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New Yorker tail lights, how beautiful you are.🤔 Those taillights are part of what makes the 55 and 56 Imperials so cool. I am having a little trouble figuring out the seats. It looks like the fronts have been redone with the incorrect inserts. Back seat looks correct, albeit a different color. Maybe now that I look a bit closer I can see the Thunder birds. All the pictures of the front seats makes them upside down. If this thing was out here in the NW I would be checking it out. I miss my very similar car. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander Wildeisen Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Love the car, I would be tempted to have the seller keep the tail lights 😂 a 56 300 got everything right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fossil Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Jack your car was beautiful. The listed car looks like more work and money than I could handle in a lifetime. Some cars make good fun drivers without investing a lot of money. This car just looks badly neglected. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillOutThere Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 The '56 seat trim cloth is referred to as "Eagle cloth", the term having been sourced from the acknowledged chrome eagle ornaments embellishing the front and rear of the car as well as other eagle locations from year to year including things like dome lamp lenses. As a '55 Imperial owner, I would not have the tail lights done ANY other way on these corporate-topping models ! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexRiv_63 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Cool car, love the taillights, but that interior is scary and the price is pretty high. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suchan Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 As well as the exterior cleaned up it'd be interesting what an interior detail could accomplish. That, and a substantial price adjustment, might move the car. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
