Vehicle Description
Very cool, very luxurious, and very rare, this 1967 Chrysler
Imperial Crown coupe is the special kind of classic car distinction
reserved for a very select few.
The Imperials were the top-dog of the Mopar lineup. So while we
call it a Chrysler, it really was from a brief period where this
brand was available for an exclusive few. In fact, while the
styling was new for 1967, this popular year still meant less than
3,300 Imperial Crown coupes were produced. It's this kind of rarity
that has led to decades of respect and a high degree of
preservation. So the Imperial Navajo Beige paint is not only
factory-correct, but it also shows the right signs of being the
original lacquer application. It has the right mix of a complete
look with the right mature finish to be able to tell this car's
survivor story without you saying a word. All the right elements
are in place to make this a detail-oriented luxury coupe. It
includes the outstretched front fenders with insignia turning
lights, the classic hood ornament, the factory wheel covers, the
intricate fender skirts that allow the lower trim to run
uninterrupted, and the hallmark Imperial bird prominently featured
in the rear. Plus, the way the panels fit together tells you this
one was treated with respect for over half a century.
A full-size luxury coupe means the interior space can almost be
measured in acres. The high degree of originality inside will
excite classic car lovers down to details, like the working dome
lights and the AM radio that's still there for display. The huge
trunk has space for a weekend golf getaway (and more) and the power
locks make it even easier to install modern keyless entry. The
value price leaves room in your budget if you want to make
improvements like newer upholstery or get the factory A/C blowing
cold, but it's also just impressive how much of a cruiser this is
from day one. The fold-down armrest and tilt/telescopic steering
column give you an individual level of comfort. And the power
windows mean you can show off the pillarless hardtop profile
without even leaving the driver's seat.
The engine bay is another reason why you want an Imperial. The top
Mopar gets the top motor: the big 440 cubic-inch V8. Not only is
this the correct displacement, but everything looks particularly
honest - from the bright blue on the block to the four-barrel
carburetor on top. Plus, you can spot good fundamentals including
the correct double belt system and a newer alternator. Out on the
road, the supple suspension combines with the power steering, power
brakes, front discs, and the three-speed automatic transmission to
deliver a proper classic luxury experience. There were even modern
cruising tires added within the last few years.
This is a rare opportunity at a luxury classic designed to own the
road. Don't let it slip away, call today!
