I also looked at this '67 LeBaron and talked to the owner. He confided to
me that he probably wouldn't let it go for as low as $1,000 but the $1500 is
completely negotiable. Given his financial situation (which he described in
great detail), even $1,000 might start looking good if it is cash in hand.
Thomas' assessment of the condition is accurate. One ding on the driver's
side, but the rest of the body looks good. Rust and interior are as
described.
If anyone is interested, I would suggest moving fast. The seller also told
me he has to be out of his apartment NOW and needs the money from this car
to move on. My impression is that moving on will be happening momentarily.
As of this afternoon, the Imp was still sitting on the corner of Williams
and San Leandro Blvd in San Leandro.

Hi group,
I took a look at the 67 Imperial that Mark had mentioned last week in San
Leandro, Calif. It is in fact a LeBaron, not a coupe. Anyway, the owner is
very anxious to sell, currently asking $1500 but I would bet he will take
less. He did start the car for me, it sounded quiet, he said he didn't want
to run it very long, as it was just about out of gas and he could not afford
to put any more in apparently.
The car needs help cosmetically. Body actually very decent, but the
biggest problem is rust underneath the vinyl top and below the rear window.
Fixable for sure for the ambitious among us. Interior fair, front seat would
need rebuilding. An aftermarket turn signal switch has been added, and not
very nicely. Those are the main problems that I could see. Again, I did not
drive it, so there might be more issues. Currently registered, I believe he
had the brake master cylinder replaced. Some vacuum leaks under the dash.
Tires good. Glass good. Not sure if all the windows or seats work. Lots of
cigarette butts in the ashtray.
I would consider the car, but just purchased a 67 Thunderbird 4Door Landau
which will keep me busy for awhile. If anyone is further interested, I can
pass on his phone number either thru the list or privately. Also, I would be
willing to check things further if someone is serious.
