80's Imperials

William don't fret. I have been appraising cars for years and the imperials in many years have taken a while to come to the for front of value. Some are getting the respect they deserve other will have to wait a little bit longer. The standard Chrysler products just dont bring the big bucks. There are some models of course that do and the musle cars some what lead the pack , but in genral compared to other makes they are a little behind . I think the Chrysler products are great owning two of them myself. However, Market value is driven by the purchases, demands and auction out there. The real value to the car you own is the personal love of that vehicle. I can look at all the 57 chevys out there but nothing comes close to my 62 imperial or 49 Chrysler. Enjoy it. By the way I am canadian born and go back every year.

I think that the 80's Imperials have hit bottom as far as values go. I have seen 3 of them for sale in here in Edmonton (all carb conversions) for less than $1500 (CDN), and I don't know that any of them ever even sold. I see them on ebay from time to time, rarely breaking the $1k mark. They seem to be universally loathed (particularly the EFi), even by mopar and some imperial enthusiasts.

I have had mine for sale for $2,000obo CDN for a couple of months, and not even an offer. Mine is factory EFi still, runs great (started in -30c) and comes with enough spare parts to keep it running for the next 50 years. I would say the market is just not there for the 81-83 models. I guess I will just have to keep my 83. Boo hoo.

Have these years lost their collectibility? My friend has an 81&82 for sale. Both cars are EFI and both ran when they were parked a few years ago. One has low miles. He wants sell both cars for $1,000.00. Seems pretty cheap ($500.00 apiece)
if you only wanted parts. The cars are in Minnesota and he would like to see them go to an Imperial lover. Call George at 763-441-3485.
