Mike,
I noted your original post but held my breathe/fingers. The last thing
i need is another 19 foot + car!
>From your latest post, however, it's clear that the wreck is a 71. The
70 model had Autotemp; 71s had Autotemp II. The tail light lenses would
say 70 since they were first used in 70 and then carried over to 71.
Whew! That was a close one. Well, maybe you should send the phone
number to me anyway.

Hello all,
A while back I reported on a fuselage Imp I noticed
sitting outside a garage. Today I stopped to take a
look. It is what appears to be a FULLY LOADED
LeBaron, 4 door HT, AutoTemp II, power vent windows,
you name it. Its turquoise. I spoke with the
counterperson who gave me the owner's name and
number...
The car has been hit in the front...it appear that
the car was driven into a round steel pole about 3
feet in diameter at about 20-25 mph. Thusly, the
front end is a mess, but the engine is still OK.
However, the owner intends to pull the 440 and junk
the rest of the car.
Everything from the windshield of the car back is
nice- black leather interior with split power leather
seats, all seats are nice, no cracks or rips, all
interior is good, carpet, etc...all sheetmetal from
the front doors back is great- just some minor bubling
on the trunklid...1/4's are immaculate and the
underbody is like new. I think the frame is still
straight, too, as the injury is just to the middle 2/3
of the car's front.
If someone had replacement front sheetmetal and a
serviceable 440, this car would come back to life!
Otherwise, its at least good for parts to _someone_ I
_believe_ its a 1970...that's what the tailights said,
though the owners manual was not inside and the
counterperson didn't know. I have the fellow's number
if ANYONE is interested...its in the Baltimore, MD
area about 1 mile south of 695 and 2 miles north of
195 on rt 1 Alternate.
