1965 Chrysler Imperial Crown
4-door hardtop sedan
Take a close look at this beautiful Imperial. There was a full frame-on restoration of a good "numbers matching" car by Buck's Classics of Tulsa. Completed in March of 2005, there have only been 3500 miles since the restoration. The ultra-rare rear AC as well as cruise control are part of the original build sheet.
In addition to the original window sticker and owner's manual, there is a photo album and receipts for all the incredible work that went into making this classic. Original brochures, period Motor Trend magazines and a shop manual are all included.

The 1965 Imperial line had a new grille and novel headlight treatment which consisted of covering the sealed beams with a pane of tempered glass. Riding on a 129-inch wheelbase chassis, it is powered by the 413 cubic inch engine of 340 horsepower. Even back then, gasoline economy was important. As touted in the sales brochure, "In the interest of economy, Imperial cruises city streets and highways on two-barrel carburetion. Yet, any demand for greater acceleration automatically cuts in two additional barrels. The response is startling."
Only 11,628 Imperial Crowns were built... when was the last time you saw one in this condition?!? Now is your chance to own an impressive and substantial collectable classic.
