If anyone sees any of these "going to be restored" Imperials,I'm sure a
pic of them can be added to this site:

There are alot of MoPar Muscle-cars(Hemi's,Superbirds,etc) that need to be
saved from the "going to restore" people in there,but there are also
Imperials as well.

Hey Kevin,
Don't feel bad -- you are not the only person who runs
across people who just won't let go of cars they are
not using. I can't even count the number of times
I've inquired about Imperials, only to be told that
the car is not for sale. One gentleman politely
informed me that he was "restoring" an Imperial that
was in his back yard rusting under some rotted tarps.
No matter what I said, his response was, "I'm
restoring it." The car had obviously been there a
LONG time. Of course, he also had a '20-something
Ford under a shed that was sitting on the axles, which
he was also "restoring."
I guess some people have a strange definition of
"restoring."
I've seen many similar situations over the years. One
friend of mine owns more cars than he could even
count, yet he almost never sells one. And when he
does, he wants what the car was worth when he parked
it in good condition ten years ago, not what it's
worth now after ten years of exposure to the elements.
People can be pretty frustrating sometimes. :o) So
can Imperials, but Imperials are MUCH easier to fix
than most people.
Happy Motoring!
