PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE DESCRIPTION
Vehicle is sold AS-IS without warranty of any kind. Inspections are welcome. 

VIN YM41K73204006 decoded----->  Y-Imperial, M-Crown, 4-#of doors, 1-Sedan, K-440 engine, 7-1967, 3-Jefferson Plant, 204006-serial number.

Driver quality Imperial, 1 of 2193 Sedans built in 1967. Total Imperial production in 1967: 14,391. This car was purchased new in Oxnard, CA apparently it has spent it's entire life on the west coast. NO RUST. Nice straight body, with a recent BLACK paint job, probably considered a '10 footer'. Clear coat was peeling from a previous paint job.


Check out the pictures. This one has the Crown trim package, factory A/C is all there (needs work and charging) but the compressor is free and the clutch cycles when powered directly.  Original 440 engine with factory AFB carb,cold blooded but runs smooth when warmed up. New battery.  Fresh spark plugs, wires, cap rotor and points. Non-factory dual exhaust with new mufflers.
Looks like the transmission has been rebuilt (has rebuilder tag) and I assume it is the original trans. Mileage shows 94XXX, but I can't confirm it's not 194XXX. Just replaced the strut rod bushings along with sway bar end bushings, also installed HD rear shocks. Rear cross (panhard?) bar needs new bushings. 
1967 was first year to have disc brakes. First year without a frame, has 'uni-body' construction. Drives well, (for a 46 year old car) just replaced all 4 tires (could probably use an alignment). All 4 hubcaps included as well as proper spare and bumper jack. Trunk is huge and has newer carpeting and spare tire cover. Trunk light works. The trunk has a vacuum operated release, push button is in glove box. 
Brakes function, not real touchy, I have replaced the master cylinder.
3 of 4 door windows operate (I think the window switches need cleaning), both vent windows (electric) need work, but you can hear the motors. All glass is in great condition. 
All the trim (except the hood eagle) is there and in good condition.
All the gauges work
, speedometer works as does the odometer. The trip odometer does not. Factory radio missing and the plate had been opened to accept a new (rectangle) style radio, so that's what is filling the space. Electric antenna works when powered directly, (no power to switch?).
Has the '
tilt-telescopic' steering wheel. Head and tail lights work, but no dash lights ( I think it's the dimmer switch) the turn signals work if you hold the lever in position (the cancel cam is broken) all door courtesy lights and the overhead dome light work. The 2 rear seat reading lights do not work. Interior is nice, (needs a good cleaning) door panels, carpet and headliner are nice. All the walnut trim needs refreshing, but it's all there. Needs door weather stripping.
---> All around it's a nice car needing TLC and patience to get all the finicky interior electrical gremlins in order.   Comes with a reprinted service manual and numerous spare interior trim pieces.  

Has California 'black' plates and is registered current. Clear title in my name. Car is in So-California, Riverside County, (easy access to I-10 and State Hwy 60) I can help coordinating with your shipper after cleared and complete payment. PayPal used for the $250 non-refundable down payment only, balance in CASH at pick up. ---->   No 'shipper over-payment' scams please.

The vehicle is being sold AS-IS, NO WARRANTY of any kind.  NOTE: The car is for sale locally, so I may end the auction at any time.
 



 Several Imperial 'officiandos' noticed that the rear window was smaller than those normally found in sedan models. Apparently the window as not an option offered in 1967. The smaller 'privacy' window was available on the LeBaron model.  (here's a regular rear window pic: http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1967/SpottersGuide/rear.jpg ) 

The story I got (unconfirmed by any paperwork) when I acquired the Imperial was that it was a Federal Govt purchase for 'embassy service' and that the govt would not buy hardtops in the 60's. I was told this car was pulled off the assembly line and completely repainted black (from light blue?) at the factory.   

The headliner and window surround look like a factor install to me, there are also 2 reading lights in the rear seat area that are usually only found on LeBarons. Make up your own mind on this story, I make NO claims of it's veracity. NO RESERVE. 

HIGH BIDDER WINS----> Check out NADA values.    http://www.nadaguides.com/Classic-Cars/1967/Chrysler/Imperial/4-Door-Sedan/Values   

I have been questioned about the seats in this car.  I did some research and found they are indeed proper for this car. If you look on the fender tag under TRM you see M1D which translates to Blue cloth and vinyl.   Scroll down here---> http://automotivemileposts.com/imperial1967interiortrim.html 
These same seats  (50-50) were covered in leather as an option on the Crown Hardtops. The passenger side reclines, and both sides have a drop down armrest independent of each other.  The back seat has a single, larger armrest in the center. 
Both seats are electric, and the wiring looks factory to me, (each side has a separate power connection) and each are controlled independent of the other.

I MAKE NO CLAIM THAT THIS CAR IS A 'ONE OFF' IMPERIAL, BUT IT DOES SEEM TO HAVE MORE OPTIONS THAN USUALLY FOUND ON THE SEDANS. 
I'VE ALSO BEEN ASKED IF IT CAME WITH A VINYL TOP.  I DON'T KNOW! ---> IF IT EVERY HAD ONE, SOMEONE DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OF REMOVAL
.
Use your best judgement as to the rarity (or lack there of) regarding this unique Imperial Sedan.  
Car is being sold AS-IS without any warranty.

Stellantis will enter joint venture with Samsung SDI for EV batteries

Tue, Oct 19 2021

SEOUL — South Korean battery maker Samsung SDI Co Ltd and global automaker Stellantis NV have agreed to jointly produce electric vehicle (EV) batteries for the North American market, a person familiar with the matter said on Tuesday. Samsung SDI, an affiliate of South Korean tech giant Samsung Electronics, already has EV battery plants in South Korea, China and Hungary, which supply customers such as BMW and Ford. "The two companies (Samsung SDI and Stellantis) have struck a MOU (memorandum of understanding) to produce EV batteries for North America," the person with knowledge of the matter told Reuters. The source spoke of condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the matter. The person said the location of the battery joint venture is under review and will be announced later. In July, Reuters reported that Samsung SDI may build a battery plant in the United States, citing a company source. South Korea's Yonhap news agency earlier reported the two companies plan to build a factory in the United States, citing industry sources. Samsung SDI and Stellantis did not have immediate comment when reached by Reuters. Stellantis on Monday struck a preliminary deal with battery maker South Korea's LG Energy Solution (LGES) to produce battery cells and modules for North America. Shares of Samsung SDI were up 2.6% as of 0300 GMT, versus a 0.6% rise in the KOSPI benchmark index.

Mopar-modified Chrysler 200 reappears in Chicago

Fri, 07 Feb 2014

Chrysler made what was one of the biggest debuts of the 2014 North American International Auto Show last month when it debuted the heavily redesigned 200. While impressive on its own, the sleek sedan's Mopar counterpart, which was tucked away in a corner during the Detroit show, adds even more visual flair.
Based on the Chrysler 200S, the showcar had already benefitted from Lunar White Tricoat paint and meaty, 19-inch wheels (now in Satin Lite Bronze finish). White leather seats with bronze stitching accented the cabin treatment.
For Chicago, Chrysler added a Mopar body kit and new upper and lower grilles, both of which give the four-door a considerably more menacing look. The rear fascia is set off by a new bumper and a revised set of exhaust tips. The cabin is unchanged from the Detroit car.
