1966 Chrysler Imperial Base Convertible 2-Door 7.2L

Description for Chrysler Imperial 1966

I just purchased this incredible Imperial last October, rom an older gentleman, n the west coast of Florida. I drove it back to the east coast of Florida cruising down the highway very comfortably at 80 MPH. I must say this is a very nice ride and is the epitome of American car luxury. In 1966 this was a 6000 dollarpluscar. The vehicle is titled, egistered and insured and I take it out for a drive when the weather is nice. It is presently garaged and was garaged when I purchased it from the previous owner who owned it for 10 years. He enjoyed taking it out to the local car show This car does not need a lot of work to make it a nice weekend cruiser.The two big items it does needs is a new convertible top, nd carpeting, hich I have. I bought the best top and carpet I could find spending in excess of 1000 dollars for the pair. These items must still be installed. The convertible top mechanism is in working order and needs no service.This and the few other parts I have purchased are included in the price.This vehicle is registered and can be driven home.Due to family issues I no longer have time to work on it. It sadly must be sold..

Some cool things about the car.This was the final year for the Imperial platform that was first created in 1957 and the last one to come with a full frame. The Imperial still used the wrap-around windshield that had been dropped by most other makes.The 1966 model year saw a change to an egg-crate grille. The glass headlight covers lost the etched lines but gained twin 24k gold bands around the perimeter. The Claro Walnut trim that had been introduced the previous year was used more extensively and would be replaced the following year. The 413cuin (6.8L) engine that had been standard since 1959 was replaced with a 350hp (261kW; 355PS) 440cuin (7.2L) engine. Imperial was the basis for the "The Black Beauty," on the TV seriesThe Green Hornet, tarringVan WilliamsandBruce Lee. A black Imperial of this year would also be restored as a wedding anniversary gift forRichard "The Old Man" Harrisonon theHistory Channelshow,Pawn Stars.

Remember that you are bidding on a 50 year Vehicle. It is being sold as is. I am motivated to sell so I did not put a reserve price on. If you have been looking for an Imperial than you know this one is priced right. Good luck in your bidding.
