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. It's a big block cruiser preserved
with a kind of grand vintage style that will make people pay far
more attention to this than any $100k modern luxury cruiser that
parks next to it.
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. So 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. So all the right elements remain in
place to make this a detail-oriented luxury coupe. It includes the
outstretched front fenders with insignia turning lights, the
classic hood ornament, a red pinstripe to preview the interior, the
intricate fender skirts that allow the lower trim to run
uninterrupted, and the hallmark Imperial bird prominently featured
in the rear. The Persian White paint is correct for the car, and so
is the half-vinyl top. It all looks clean and complete with still
keeping an overall cruiser-ready style. The one upgrade you'll
likely spot is the Billet Specialties wheels set. They have the
right intricate design to go with this Imperial's personality and
allow you to fit modern touring tires.
A full-size luxury coupe means the interior space can almost be
measured in acres. The bright red with black accents looks vintage,
preserved, and genuinely premium. The high degree of originality
inside will excite classic car lovers down to details, like the
working power locks, dome lights, and the AM/FM radio. This is even
a factory A/C car; most components are still in place if you
restore the feature. This is a true classic, but it also likes to
appeal to your practical side. The colossal trunk has space for a
weekend golf getaway (and more). And it's quite a driver-oriented
setup with a fold-down armrest and tilt/telescopic steering column
giving you an individual level of comfort. Plus, the power windows
mean you can show off the pillarless hardtop profile without
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 the date codes line up well for
it to possibly be the original engine block. Everything looks
correct, including the bright blue on the block and the four-barrel
carburetor on top. Plus, you can spot good fundamentals, including
the correct double belt system and a newer alternator. On the road,
the supple suspension combines with the three-speed automatic
transmission, power steering, power brakes, front discs, and modern
Kumho tires to deliver a proper classic luxury experience.
The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and Certicard
warranty card (showing this was first sold in southern California.)
This is a rare opportunity at a luxury classic designed to own the
road. Call now!
