That's not because Imperials are suddenly more popular on Ebay. It's  
because of something called keyword spamming. Most of those 2,000  
auctions have nothing to do with Imperials. They're for 22 inch  
chrome wheels, power antenna and convertible top motors for Fords,  
318 rebuild kits with rings, generic wiring harnesses, etc etc etc.  
All the seller has to do is include the name of every car make there  
ever was and Bingo - tons of hits for their auction.

There may be increased interest in Imperials in the marketplace but  
be careful what you wish for.
