NO RESERVE - Rare Black 61 Chrysler Imperial Crown, 76k, Not Cadillac or Lincoln

NO RESERVE -Rare, ully Loaded 1961 Chrysler Imperial

1961 Imperial Crown, 6k, 13 V8. Options include a/c, ower windows, ower seats, ower steering and power brakes. I bought the Imperial from the son of a Mopar collector, t was in his family since the 70's.I've got a second '61 Imperial, white LeBaron as seen below as well.

The '61 Imperial is my favorite car of the "Fin Era" and one of my all time favorite cars, eriod. It's got the tallest fins of any car, square steering wheel, reestanding chrome headlight pods, thermometer" style speedometer and a "futuristic" push-button automatic transmission on the dashboard. There is simply not another car like it. I looked for a '61 Imperial for a while before finding this solid, unning car. Most of the 1961 Imperials I found were either sinking into the ground in a backyard for 20 years, issing drivetrains / glass / bumpers, r costing anywhere from $18k-$25k. I've got a lot of time, oney and effort invested but finances and lack of storage force sale.

Mechanical: Extensive brake system overhaul, ncluding brake lines, ll six wheel cylinders, rake shoes and assorted hoses, ittings and hardware. If you're familiar with these cars you know how much labor is involved getting all those components installed, djusted, led and stopping just right. The fuel system was replaced as well: new fuel tank and sending unit (even reproduction tanks are $500+) and fuel lines, ebuilt carburetor and fuel pump. Brand new starter and high pressure power steering hose. Complete tuneup as well including new battery andgroundcable as well as all new belts. The exhaust system is brand new from the engine back as well, ice dual exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers. The pushbutton transmission works well, new shifter solenoid had been put in at some point. The a/c compressor is in the trunk now, t needs rebuild. The power windows need going through; the driver's front and rear worked but now don't, ight need switches but assume the car needs window motors. The power seat does work, he wipers and horn work, he radio will crackle to life intermittently. The tires are new as well.The engine starts easily even after sitting for weeks and the garage floor is always dry when I pull the car out. No noises from engine, ower steering works perfectly, he 413 V8 is surprisingly quiet and smooth.The previous owner claimed the 76k on the odometer is original, y mechanic thinks so as well.

Cosmetic: as you can see the car is a 10-20 footer, he paint and chrome are original. The first photos were right after compounding and waxing and in direct sunlight, was surprised when I saw how good those photos looked.The interior overall is in fair to good condition and complete, othing missing. The front seat has a few open seams, therwise just some fading at the tops of the seats. The headliner, isors, nd all door panels are presentable and the dash is very nice. The rear deck material is dry and faded.The front bumper is good as well as the grill, nd the rear bumper is peeling in spots. Some small areas of corrosion down the bottom under the doors and around the wheel wells, othing too bad as seen in the pix. All the panels line up straight, oors, ood and trunk and the doors close easily. The body and undercarriage are solid overall, loors and frame good. The car has never been repainted or had any sheetmetal repair. Overall a cool, nique driver quality classic ora great candidate forfull restoration.

Always starts easily, 13 V8 accelerates well, ruises nicely on the highway, nd brakes evenly. No leaks from anywhere, arage floor is dry when I pull the car out.

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Imperial is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well.I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary, ost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional, eliable and have great rates.
