Wow!

It's not a letter car (is it?). No expert, but I think it would have dual-quads if it was. Sure looks like a good find (read: collectable) but how is it for rust etc?

Be prepared for lots of: "It's junk, I'll take it off your hands" comments.

 

It's an Imperial..........NOT A CHRYSLER 300....and will only have a single 4 barrel. Not a factory hot rod, just cushy and expensive when new.

 

He's exactly right - this is an Imperial . . . not a 300. Hopefully he didn't pay "300 prices" for an Imperial (though it is still a cool car).

 

I think the vin is in the in the front door jam below the hinge.
Take a look.

Great find, I like the Imperial's gun-sight taillights. I agree with MBL; open the driver's door and look between the hinges for the VIN.

 

300 or not I,d drive that any day!

 

Not many of those around and it looks complete. Nice find, rebuild it and enjoy the hell out of it.

 

That there is the most desireable Imperial of all. (excluding the custom jobs, like the '56 Imp converts, etc.)

Jeez that's beautiful. Want to sell it?

 

Looks like it's been languishing for a while, where/how did you guys find it?

 

vin tag should be inside drivers door jam. It should be a round metal tab w/ #'s stamped on it. KNUX!

 

www.forwardlook.net There is also an Imperial club on line.

 

well thats what i thought. vin was in the door jam. yes its a single 4 car. not a 300. ok i dono. its not mine. i'm just the one thats going to make her run. its all there its a WA car its not realy that rusty that i have seen so far. i all ready tryed to get the motor lol but its all to compleat to part it out. it might go to my budy's brother. Art wipple. ya Wipple super chargers. if not it Will go up on here first. the only reason it hasent yet was i have not had the time to get it running. i have no idea as for how much. or what there even worth. its hard to get a real answer with out. the well i'll give ya this much. thanks guys you allwas have the info i need.

Is it a Torqueflite or Powerflite ? Can't see to count the ****ons.

 

If you want top dollar, sell it as-is to a restorer. If you pull the motor it will be worthless.

 

If you don't mind, tell your budy I have one ( '56 Imperial 2 dr. Hardtop that I am selling, whole ( without engine ), or parts. I'm about 2 hours north of you, in case he needs something. Thanks, Mark.

 

That's a Great find! Looks pretty solid too. Good Luck!
