1981 Chrysler Imperial - $4,200 - Forsyth, MO - The Imperial was Chrysler's top-of-the-line model in 1981. This car is powered by Chrysler's reliable 318, paired with a Torqueflite automatic transmission, which makes for a smooth, luxurious ride. It has a new carburetor (Chrysler recalled the original fuel injection system and converted it to a carburetor when the car was still fairly new), new radiator, new cooling fan, fairly recent tune up, fresh oil change, and runs well. I drove it on a 200 mile round trip recently without any troubles. The car has working PS, PB, PL, cruise, AC, electric windows, and moon roof. The 81 Imperial was also the first mass-produced American car to have a completely digital dash, which works as it should in this car. The leather interior is in good condition except for the driver's seat, and the headliner is good and tight. I recently replaced the door panels, and they have no craks or tears. The hood ornament and other Chrysler emblems are genuine crystal. The car is a good driver quality car with some nicks and dings and has been my daily driver for almost four years. Tires have good tread left on them. The only rust is a small spot under the fuel filler door, a typical place for these cars to rust. It is easily fixible. Car comes with replacement for the metal trim over the driver's side rear tire opening (trim on the car was damaged in a blowout, and I found the replacement trim but never got it installed). All other trim is presentable and present. I have had fun with this car, but I'm ready to move on to a different car. Feel free to call or email with questions.Link to ad on Hemmings.com
