1968 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron

1968 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron 4 door Hardtop. Rare car, only 1,852 produced. Very few of these cars left in existence and hardly any in this condition. The car shows approximately 43,000 miles and this appears to be original due to the condition of the car and these cars simply were not driven that much if a person could afford one in 1968.Car is equipped with a strong running 350 horsepower 440 V8 engine and automatic transmission. The engine and transmission run and work as they should. Engine starts up easily, no smoke, no leaks. Exhaust is very quiet and in good condition. Very well cared for original classic. Get in and drive anywhere.
The interior is in excellent condition. I have owned several of these cars and have never seen an interior as nice as this, or with this color combination. No rips or tears in seats, headliner, or rug. Dash is perfect. The interior is truly a must see for a 50 year old car. Equipped with telescoping wheel and power antenna. Both work. Radio and all lights work. The power seats work. All 4 power windows work. The trunk is in excellent condition as is the rug, spare tire, and spare tire cover. It comes with a copy of the original destination paperwork, original sale documentation, and the owners manual.
The exterior was professionally repainted the original color in 2002. It still looks and shines like brand new with only a few minor imperfections, including a nick or scratch. Nothing at all major and you would really have to look to find these imperfections. The paint shines like show quality. The exterior is 100% rust free and all the wheel wells, rockers and dog legs are spotless and rust free. The vinyl top is in perfect condition with no rips or tears and also shines like new. The chrome shines like new in most places with only very minor pitting on some pieces. The rear chrome bumper has 2 flaws in the normal places where the chrome peels and oxidation has begun. It is minor and still a show car with these flaws. For you Imperial guys that wonder if there is rust between the rear fenders and back bumper, there is none.
The drivetrain is in perfect working order and the brakes work as they should. The tires are in OK condition and are beginning to show weather checking however they are all safe with plenty of tread and they all hold air without issue. The car runs and drives like it should and is a pleasure to just look at or cruise. I bought this car from a car collector who was liquidating some of his inventory. I purchased it because I love the front of a 68, knew this was a fairly rare car and have never owned an Imperial in this good of condition. I am clearing out some garage space for the winter and am wanting to sell this car from my collection as I am also funding a Mustang project.
Imperial values are now on the rise as the production numbers were low to begin with and the remaining cars had either been destroyed in Demolition Derby or rotted away in a junk yard. You will be hard pressed to find a 1968 Chrysler Imperial Lebaron Hardtop in this condition with this low of mileage. Hagerty Classic Car values has this car listed as follows : Concours $27,600, Excellent $16,700, Good $10,600 and Fair $5,800. I am sure this car is somewhere between the good and excellent price range however I am not looking to get rich nor am I asking classic car dealer pricing however I am looking for a fair deal that both seller and buyer are happy with.
I can hold the car for free as long as it takes for shipping. I am open to over seas buyers as well and can assist with shippers at buyers cost. Please bid and buy only if you have funds and intend on following through with the sale. I am more than fair and easy to deal with. Good luck. The new owner will not be disappointed. I have many more pictures that I can send. The pictures do not do this car justice.
