1965 Chrysler Imperial Crown - $14,000 - Huntington, NY - 1965 Chrysler Imperial CrownImperial was the most luxurious car in its time, a true collectors item, solid cars are now hard to find in good condition. Chrysler put its best technology in their top line cars.
This sweet Imperial is highly optioned. 6 power windows (including power vent windows), 413 cubic inch V8, the legendary "Torqueflite" automatic transmission, power brakes, power steering, 6 way power seat, factory A/C, rear blower, front and rear armrests, electric trunk release, automatic headlight high beam dimmer, tinted glass, power antenna, and a floor mounted switch for the seek radio. Other unique to Imperial amenities include tempered glass covered headlights, flip up armrest storage, nearly limitless leg and hip room, real wood veneers on the dash, steering wheel etc.
1965 was a success for Imperial based on the Engel design, clean styling and solid engineering. Imperial torsion bar ride is superior to the caddillac and lincolns of similar years. no nose dive and flat cornering compared with the cadillac and lincoln. Imperial kept a full frame until 66, cadillac and lincoln of similar years is unibody construction. Imperials were built so solid, they were later outlawed from demolition derbies.
The engine runs great and the automatic shifts excellent and fluid.
Interior is in very good and mostly original condition, lots of chrome and excellent condition dashboard and headliner. Still has original carpeting (shows wear). Leather powered seats & door panels are all in very good condition. Correct and original hubcaps with clear Imperial emblems.
The remarkably original condition of this car make it a rare opportunity to enjoy what it was like to drive a fabulous Imperial back in the '60's!
1 of only 11,628 built in 1965. It has a very strong 413c.i. 360HP V8 engine torqueflite automatic transmission, positraction.
