VIN: LY1**4276 Southampton four-door hardtop.
This Imperial is a complete unrestored car which had been stored in Big Springs, Texas and Palm Desert, CA for over 30 years. Showing milage of 25021 miles believed correct but assumed that it turned over once, and not verifiable. It has front and rear air conditioning units and of course all the power accessories were standard or optioned. The Body tag shows the following: M=634; scdl=1101; ITM=397; PNT=XZZ (Ermine, top / Champagne Gold, mid & bottom); TRM=060. Accessories codes are as follows: 41= A/C trunk install.; 42=A/C Deluxe Dual; 467= Solex tinted glass; 341= undercoating; 394= rear window defogger.
The condition is GOOD. There is minimal surface rust and in the usual places. The car was completely covered in West Texas dust that it was protected from rust. All loose parts are Including with the car. Seats had aftermarket seat covers pulling them up a little revealed the original seat covers which seem to be good condition and perhaps can be saved. The car needs a new headliner material and a thorough mechanical overhaul Some of which has been done. With a little more work the car could be considered a survivor and put back on the road. Definition of mechanical overhaul: engine service; transmission service; brake service; A/C Service; differential service. It also needs 3 more new tires (950/14) I would NOT recommend a body-off restoration. The car is very straight and unmolested. I have the original 1958 Texas title which is signed over and a bill of sale.
About photos; I have a lot and can only put 10 in this ad so send me an email with your request or offer for photos to [email protected]
The car speaks for itself and the photos look worse than the car for a change...AN INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL MAY BE ARRANGED.
I decided not to go forward with the renovation due to interest in other areas.
