When my uncle, Merle Ditzworth, (I swear, that was his name 👀 ) retired he bought a brand new 1972 (green with leather interior), Chrysler, Imperial LeBaron. It was one of the most beautiful, magnificently engineered automobiles that I ever had the pleasure to drive! Uncle Merle remembered how much I admired his Chrysler and when he passed away in 1988 he left the car to me, bless his heart. She still sits proudly in my garage with just 42-K-miles on the odometer. The massive and silky smooth 440-ci. still purrs like a kitten when tooling down the road or, roars like a lion when you kick it in the a**!

DAMN THAT THING IS MAJESTIC JUST FLOATING DOWN THE STREET

I worked at a gas station in the 1980's. A customer had a black, 2-door 1972 Imperial. What a great car to drive. The 440 hauled that beast around pretty good, and I remember how good the brakes were. (Of course, my own car was a 1971 Nova without power brakes!)

I had a 1972 Imperial with four doors in the mid-1990s. The high school kids I taught loved that car.

Drove and worked on those cars years ago. With the 440’s tuned properly it was surprising how quick these were given their size. Not to mention it was like driving your living room sofa down the road on air ride suspension...

I have my grandpas 72 imperial LeBaron. He won it in a card game in 1971. He got orders to Germany the following year and the car went with him.

Nice car. I’ve never seen in this color. Just beautiful.

I can't believe how clean this car is! Beautiful! Very stylish.

What a dream! Those have got to be among the largest flanks of all time for a coupe! ❤🎶

My Dad had this model. It was like riding in a cloud.

A beautiful land yacht! Thank you for the upload.

We owned one just like this one. We had to notch the framing in the garage and the wooden garage door before it would fit .

If you didn't catch it before sale the driver side engine mount is either ready to break or broken. Ive had 37 Imperials, from 1955 through 1975, and still have 5 1964-65-66 convert, Coupe, and 4 doors, my 72 coupe and 73 4 door were this color (as are my '57 Plymouth Belvedere convert and SportCoupe). The engine should not move that far, and causes the choke to hang up. Also the front torsion bars need to be cranked up to raise the front of the car 1 1/2 to 2 inches, it will not only match factory photos, but will handle much better (which will be very good indeed) I enjoyed the exhaust note, matches my engines, most people don't realize even with rumble outside, with windows up and a/c gently blowing, the interior is silent, plus lower restriction gets better mpg. Very nice Imperial. Check out Imperial vs Ferrari, or Ferrari vs Imperial (can't remember which) on YOU TUBE it's on one of my favorite roads I've covered many times in Imp's. HWY 70 in CA.

Ah the Chrysler C Body platform. So huge! This is a nice example of the top of the line with the 440 CID engine. I love the sound of the 3-speed Torqueflite auto trans!

Very nice. I had a '70 Plymouth Fury as my first car, when it was a couple months shy of 30 years old. Did lots of work to it and it was always a pain. But how I loved that car, and the view over that beautiful hood as it went down the road!

I had a black four door in the late nineties. I put headers and dual flow masters on it. My friends and I did a few other things , hotter ignition, some port matching, better carb. and a few other things I cant remember. We got that 5100 pound car to run a flat 15 second quarter mile. Not blazing fast but pretty good in my opinion for such a HUGE, heavy car.

Awesome, almost impossible to find a 2-door Imperial. This one had the optional bucket seats with leather👍 Somebody put the wrong air cleaner lid on it...

My eldest Brother had a 74 in black with black vinyl top with a 400 and T-quad. Black leather interior fully optioned. The pillowed leather was so comfortable! It was a joy to ride in and a masterful beauty! He wrapped it around a telephone poll! What a shame to destroy a very nice ride! He walked away and thanks for that!

Beautiful car! Nice condition.

Art on wheels i love it.

Clean! The hideaway headlights makes the car super cool!

My parents had TWO of these old boat Chryslers. One a 1972 Brougham and the other a 1971 Custom. They were so smooth and you could actually get laid in the huge back seat and not touch the front seats during the act. Ha!

Beautiful! A rare Gem. I daily drive a 72 2dr Polara same color. Thanks for sharing.

Even Rolls Royces don't have such presence. Literally the king of the road.

STUNNING !!!!

One of the last of the great Land Yahts!

MY GOD!!! WHAT A BEAUTIFUL CAR, REALLY VERY BEAUTIFUL, EXCELLENT VIDEO YOUR CHANNEL DESERVED MY REGISTRATION.

Big 440 4-barrel V8 under the hood!

Beautiful!! It wouldn't have been that loud in 1972. Somebody changed the exhaust system. I had a 78 with a 440.

I miss my 73 LeBaron.

Thank you very much for the video very nice Classic American is love, beauty, dignity, gentlemen Very nice beautiful

Never drove one of these. Sure would like to. Dad had a ‘73 Newport with a 400. Not the same experience though.

That is one beautiful rear end.

BEAUTIFUL CAR !!!! THIS ONE IS GORGEOUS !!!!!!

Love the color

Cassettes are good enough. Love that smooth ride. Cruise away to Denver.

gorgeous the 72 had a great front end

Beautiful!

Get rid of that after-market CD player and reinstall the original 8track player. Otherwise, a very beautiful car.

ROAD TRIP!!!!

My favorite yank tank of the 1970s

Beautiful machine

Amazing car, love that color!

Love this car I wish Chrysler was make them again

BIG beautiful car which was made in the same year that I was born lol

these titans were the real muscle cars.

Aside the car, these dashboards were the best.

This car is increadable

Beautiful car ❤ but without the original radio 😢

DREAM CAR

BEAUTYFUL CAR

Chrysler named engines. 440 TNT. 440 Magnum for Dodge, and 440 Super Commando for Plymouth. Awesome!

Have the new owner check the brakes

Beautiful car ! 37 drive belts i counted

What A Dream Car! LOVE IT!

Very nice car !!! I like it !

That's a tremendous and regal looking car, so much design, style and options. Those headlight covers and windows go up and down so fast! I was really impressed by everything except one thing. It really looks like they ran out of money when they designed that whole dash. It is so plain and boring compared to the rest of the car even with the woodgrain. The crash-pad and instruments and most of the rest of it pale compared to the seats, door trims and exterior features. Just my two cents.

Dad had a two-door. Gold with tan-gold interior. Was stupid fast for a big car! He screwed hardened studs in the tires for winter traction and could remove asphalt from the pavement at stoplights! Lol

Great color great car

Lol @ the concealed headlights slamming shut.

Very nice !

That color wasnt all that popular for that year....it was known , I think as a 'Rusty Copper Brown'. This 2 dr Imperial is gorgeous....what a beautiful piece of machinery...!!!

King of the Road

Très belle automobile ! En parfaite condition !. Merveilleux !

Машина для человека!!! Браво!!!

"Wheres your lebaron freddy?"

I saw that car go by and says to myself, ""There goes Angelo. He's a friend of. o u r s."

That thing is pristine.

I love the colors of cars of that period. Lots of olive greens, yellow ocres and golden browns. Perfect fit for cars like that. Unlike depressing black and boring gray of today. Ps. It's Le Baron (male) instead of La Baron (female) ;-)

Grat and beautiful car 🚗😍

FELICITACIONES

Cool car, especially in two door.

Had to find imperial coupes

Surprised Grandpa installed that "Ghetto Blaster" in the dash...he looks like a Sinatra guy.....

Nice land yacht ⛵

Stunning automobile

I had a 85 cordoba white guts, midnight blue with t tops.

Holy men in black i love it!

This car did not come with a TNT engine!

You drive with your foot on the brake.

All of these The Lebaron The newport and the Gran fury were all such massive car's when it comes to your safety it was like being in a tank but unfortunately if you were involved in a wreck with ine it was like getting hit by a tank! I had a stepdad that swore by his. o'll never forget riding in it ti mexico it was like being in a motorhome the backseat was so huge you could lay down all the way in comfort. But DANG THESE THINGS SUCKED DOWN GAS!! THEY HAD TO WEIGH 3 TON'S OR BETTER!!

Another FYI, that is why it says IMPERIAL by Chrysler on the Rear Deck

To the driver, keep your left foot off the brake, it's not a clutch.

@ :55-57, alternator sounds like it's full-fielded, lost one diode. TNT 440 should have dual inlet air cleaner.

Nice bathtub

Just FYI its “LeBaron” NOT “LA” and originally IMPERIAL was a separate “Marque” not a Chrysler, although by 72 there may have been “Chrysler” badges on the Cars. Still a very AMERICAN Icon!

Sweet and luxury

I'd buy that.

Beautiful car! Need to raise the torsion bars

The driver is a brake rider. Car is great and probable gone. Calling tomorrow.

I knew Imperial came w/440cid, but a TNT, AWESOME.

Nice old death trap.

машина- мечта!! хочется слушать Doors!!!

LeBaron

Wow!

Très belle auto

2-foot driving LOL TNT pie pan not correct for '72

Why are you driving with two feet. ?? Just curious

Not a TNT engine. Someone just bought the air cleaner lid for one and stuck it on.

Try driving with the windows up. Will be much quieter and show how it would sound on the highway better. My parents had a 71 Chrysler. We always drove with the windows up AC on.
