1966 Imperial LeBaron

Post by Dracula »

As seen here:

viewtopic.php?f=15&t=77

I added this car to my stable. She's a '66; speedometer stopped at 15k; I'm presuming 115k to 120k. In triple-black, she's a very highly optioned car; tilt/telescoping column, black leather interior, dual AC, rear speaker reverberator, beam changer, autopilot, trunk release, and passenger side mirror (may not be original.) There may be others, as I'm not sure about tinted windows or the sure grip differential.

Regardless, she's a very sinister-looking car and going to be a worthy restoration.

The paint is worn in a few places, but appears to be mostly original.

Great looking car! She really cleaned up nice didn't she. Did the previous owner have the parts for the back door or will you need to source those?

I'm really impressed that the seats are that nice.

The door parts appear to be in the trunk; at least, the handles are. I also have a spare hood, two front doors, trunk, damaged front clip, bumpers, grilles for a '65 and two left grilles for a '66, and more.

Agree, really jealous of those seats compared to the ones in my convertible. Those look so comfortable and stylish.

Very nice, congrats! I have a bunch of steering wheel centers if yours is missing.

RH mirror looks really close if not original.
post a pic of the door tag - not the VIN tag n we can see if its coded for a RH mirror.
seats look so nice almost like theyve been recovered properly

It was about 3 hours away from me in Northern Texas; it's an incredibly solid car.

I need to fix all the window motors, the AC, find front seatbelts, give her a proper tune-up, get the gauges working, get a glove box insert, etc.

Still, it's a dream come true. There can't be that many triple-black '66 LeBarons left.
