      Cmon is it necessary to try to ruin a classic it will never be a drag car or an off roader those two things are tomfoolery for sure and kinda pissed me off other than that treat it with care they are making anymore of those are they ? It needs a shit ton of wiring and tlc and it will live on for people to enjoy

    About that second but unused cutout for dual exhaust. For some reason the Imperial hardtops all only came with single exhaust, but all the convertibles came with duals which would explain the unused dual exhaust cutout on your car.

    I've always, always wanted one of these. I tend to gravitate toward big Mopars, and think I had too much exposure to the TV show "The Green Hornet," and Dean Jeffries' customized 1966 Imperial, "Black Beauty," when I was a kid. Anyway... I found a listing for a '68 Imperial Crown four door. The man who originally owned it died. It had sat in his garage for around 15 years because he had become unable to drive it, and the family was selling it. The man's son told me all about the car and emailed photos. It was a time capsule! beautiful dark green metallic paint. beautiful interior. The right front fender was replaced because of a minor accident that happened well over 20 years ago but, other than that, no damage or rust or... anything. It was loaded with options (power vent windows, cruise control, the auto-temp control, power seats and powered everything else, etc.). Oh, did I mention it had under 70,000 miles on it, too? The man's son told me he would sell it for... get this... $4,500.00! I told him that I was off to the bank and I'd meet him at his dad's garage, but he said that wasn't possible and he wanted to meet after he finished work the following day, to which I agreed. Next day, late in the afternoon, the guy calls, apologizes, and tells me that his family had an estate sale and sold the Imperial that day before he got home without talking with him about it. I felt like I'd just been gut-punched and I was heart broken in a way that only others who share my affliction (haha) will understand. Oh well... there's always the one that got away, right?

    I traded a '72 Chevy for a '67 Crown Coupe. I really liked that car, but it needed a lot of parts that even back then were hard to find---little electric doodads, heat and A/C parts, etc. I ended up trading it for an '83 Impala from a fella that was into old Mopars. He died not too long after, so I don't know what ended up happening with the CC. To this day I still think it's one of the nicest styled cars of its era, even nicer than the Caddies and Lincolns. Mine was a creamy white.

    Imperial's were actually ahead of Cadillac and even cost more than a Rolls Royce(more so the 66 and older).
    I believe by 67 they started to be more like a New Yorker but nonetheless..Cadillac has Imperial in it :) Hell,every car copies each other even today!!
    You could also get a version of that Imperial with a table at the back,like you wanted! Mobile Director option it was called..
    They even had a button on the floor so you can switch the radio stations with your foot,like the high beams, Truly Awesome!
    I owned a few of these all ran great and were quick cars for being heavy..One 1968 Imperial was a 2 door it had factory 440(obviously) with factory duel exhaust and a factory duel snorkel air cleaner and sure grip..You know the woulda,shoulda,coulda type deal.Don't worry I have several nice old Mopar cars,don't lose sleep over me being sad I sold the 68 years ago that's what I do,buy/sell and keep some,I am fine!
    Oh well,my comment of the week..Take it as you want..

    The toggle switches for the headlights and wipers look like the same switches on my '68 Fury VIP. My VIP also has a reclining passenger bucket seat. You can get Auto Temp in a Fury that year, but I wouldn't recommend it. It was also the first year, the cruise control was on the turn signal stalk. That desk you wanted is part of an Imperial option called Mobile Director and the front passenger seat also swivels. Pretty neat.

    • @DeadDodgeGarage
      @DeadDodgeGarage  10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Nice. Yes I’ve heard about the Mobile Director option from a few people now. For something that was only installed in about 81 cars, a lot of people seem to know about it 😅 it’s very neat. If you saw the cruise switch (“Auto Pilot”) in the blue car, it’s on the dash in these.

    That's a beauty for sure but my Imperial love is a '63 LeBaron with the all the goodies like I used to have many years ago. Sure miss that car. 413 with dual inline 4 bbls...sweet.

    I had a 68 2 door 300 fastback with more MOPAR addons than even the fanciest Imperial ever made.
    My 300 even had addons from the ultra Rare Crown Royale [a diplomatic purposes only] little known Chrysler product.
    And a one-off pair of prototype heads originally designed for Mario Andretti for NASCAR.
    I lost it [I presume] where one of my cousins was last storing it, and I have no idea what may have become of it.
    It came with all the actual documentation.

    I had one of these. Everything on it is heavy. The entire grill is diecast. The gas cap is 6 pounds. good luck removing the front bumper; all the bolt sare hidden. The hupcaps are 3 or 4 separate pieces with a heavy diecast ring.
    Look at the size of the quarterpanels.
    Giant 4 piston Budd calipers. 5 on 5" bolt pattern no other MOPAR car wheels fit. It is entirely unique aside from drivetrain.
    Why do I think that mine had a Holley on it?
    Nice feature, brings back memories, Thanks

      @DeadDodgeGarage  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Turns out the Holley is correct. The blue car has it. This must have been swapped from a different application, because it has the correct Chrysler throttle and choke connections. I’ll take the Carter, any day…

    18:00 If you had "The Director's Option" in the Imperial, you would have a work table in the back and swivel seats to turn around and use it.

    Had me a 35 car garage in the 90s called the sales showroom, but that's another story. Inside was a '68 Imperial 4 door that did everything fine, except drive inside the building - too big & a square steering wheel too. Fine old car....

    My brother bought one of those . Was a fine specime. We pulled the engine out. Threw it in a 70 super bee and made it to the track. Looking back. We used to throw small block Chevy engines in the imperial. Then derby them. A small block Chevy will run longer than any other engine without h2o. Just saying ; )
