Re: IML: '65 Crown Coupe Ordered New w/300L 413!!!

["Greg and Russell" <65luxuryliner@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for bringing this information to the attention of the List members, 
Paul!  If you remember, I posted a question quite a while back asking if one 
could have ordered a new Imperial with the 300L motor or if anyone knew of 
one that had been built at the factory that way.  At the time of my 
question, no one had ever heard of any and the thread faded away.  I am very 
happy to know there is at least one other '65 Imperial out there with the 
413 built to the specs. of the 300L's 413!  When I had my '65 Crown 
convertible's factory 413 rebuilt, I had the machine shop follow the 300L's 
specs.  I also found an original carb. from a  300L and had the List's very 
own Robert Soule rebuild it.  A 5,345 lb. car can use all the help it can 
get to move away from a standing start a little faster!  The standard 413 is 
NO slouch in the performance dept. but the convertibles are SO heavy with 
the 'X' frame that was used, I was happy to be able to get the additional 20 
bhp!  I may not be able to 'leave rubber on the street' but I do hope it 
will have a little more ZIP!!!!!  LOL!
