SOLD!

Love this car Bob

I would absolutely LOVE to have an 81/ 83 Imperial! My favorite car I have ever owned was an 82 Cordoba! It was solid, reliable, and oh so comfortable! I parted it out in 1996 when it had 189k on it. It was still reIiable as a daily driver, but was getting a bit quirky in it's ways, and as a newlywed, I felt I should get something newer for the wife to drive, but I loved that car! I saved the front passenger seat and made a desk chair out of it! I'm sitting on it right now, still enjoying the "rich Corinthian leather". :)

Running great with the EFI !!!

This car is in beautiful condition! Thank you for sharing it.

As a boy of 11 or 12, this was the first car that made my head turn and ask pop 'what is THAT?' Of course he knew what it was. Made a real impact and really stood out.

I used to work for Wayne Castle when Foreign Cars Unlimited was at your location. It was a pretty good place to work. Bought a lot of cars from Wayne.

The Imperial fuel injection system had several issues. The main problem was the state of filtration in 1981-83. Many gas stations still had old metal tanks in the ground that were deteriorating. This would bring lots of sediment into the gas tank. FI fuel pumps, pressure regulators and injectors don’t like foreign objects. Also, Chrysler electronics were not the most robust, and their location under hood didn’t help. Another problem was that the air cleaner has to be installed for the car to run. However, things like the timing cannot be set, and throttle sensors cannot be calibrated unless it’s removed. It was a nightmare for technicians to service, and some settings were difficult to get right. The fuel quality and filtration issues are not a factor today, so it should have better reliability than previously. Super nice Imperial!

Thank you Bob for selling it to me❤

Thats a very special car.

That baby looks pretty plush!

Amazing car ❤❤

I had a 1981 it had been converted to a carburetor, very quiet and comfortable car

rides like a caddy

In the late 80's I checked out one of those [Frank Sinatra edition] on a dealer's lot on a Sunday when they were closed. Big sofa on wheels.

what a very classy beast ! one of my favorite cars of the 1980s !

And one of that style/era I have ever seen, hope h gets his health back on a level plain....

I purchased new in 1981. The fuel injection was a nightmare. The dealership Chrysler Corporate had it converted over. $2K at Chrysler Corporate paid the bill. The car itself was just a classic look. Mine had a moon roof. And White/Red interior leather. Red carpet. 23K new in 1981. I traded the car for 1982 New Audi 5000. Never had a issue with that car. Today I drive Cadillac. Thank you

OLD SCHOOL CAR LIKE THAT ARE LIKE ROYALTY TO DRIVE AND BE SEEN IN.

What a beautiful classic car!

Very cool piece of history Bob & Becky!!

LOVE these old cars! A limo version of this was used by Burt Reynolds in "Cannonball Run II".

What a beautiful vehicle! I wish I could buy it. Looking forward to seeing it on your site.

I remember when I was a kid one of the Chrysler dealers in our area had their main dealership sign with three brands on it when most only had two. There was Chrysler, Plymouth and Imerial on the traditional Chrysler dealship sign so Chrysler was definately still trying to market it as a seperate brand. It's the only one I remember seeing and remained up maybe 7 or 8 years after that model went out of production. I remember seeing several of the cars on the road but I don't recall seeing another Chrysler dealership sign with Imperial on it.

Not a fan of bustle backs but this was the prettiest of the 80's versions.

Great video Bob!

Imperial was a separate brand through 1975, then began again separately for these cars from 1981-83. I love to "meet" the people that are selling their cars.

One of the most beautiful cars ever made!

I agree with your enthusiasm about this car, Bob.

nice car bob.

The 1980s brings flashbacks of the Cordoba commercials talking about its "rich Corinthian leather". The Imperial was unique and brought that regal look with that tail end and that big grille in front but I believe they had their fuel injector issues (and had to recall them replace them all with carburetors).

Those crystals! Those mother brings me the keys, crystals. Wow. That’s all I can say.

I am looking for an Imperial in blue.

The Sinatra version came with a set of his albums on 8 track or cassette (depending on which tape player the car had).

Wow, again a beautiful car👍 I love the 'old' US cars so much. I live in Europe and here you almost never see such US cars.

Lovely Imperial - painful video. Mopar continued to issue service bulletins for the EFI AFTER the conversion/swap program, resulting in many 'sorted' Imperials.

Hey Bob & Becky, this Imperial is so unique, I actually like the style of it. It's a shame that the fuel injection was such a disaster, it really had everything on it!!! Thanks for sharing another exciting video!!! 👍👍🙂

I believe Frank Sinatra paid Lee Iacocca full retail price in cash for two (2) new Imperials. One for himself and one for his wife. Frank wanted to feel he was doing his part to help save Chrysler Corporation. Sadly, as told in this video, Frank Sinatra had a bad experience with the Imperials he bought.

Eyes on the road. Hands at 2 and 10.

I have had a chance to buy one of these a time or two for inventory and Bring a Trailer, but I am so picky there was one thing or another that stopped me from pulling the trigger. Soon I will grab one!

Becky it's better been out and about 👍🥰

I tried to buy a 83 blue on blue in Michigan and the seller just wouldn't message me back or couldn't find a date and time to meet up. Wanted the car pretty bad but since the seller didn't seem to want to get rid of it I bought a 86 Corvette instead lol

Look at the door lights. It’s like the engineers looked at the other cars that they were going to be competing with and said, they have good lighting on those doors. But we can do more. When one of the engineers asked, more, do you mean better. The first engineer said more. The second engineer was like, ok.

From Bustle to Bangle Butt....no Corinthian Leather, eh? My father owned, I believe the Seville with the same rear end (a true Cadillac Man; buy, not lease, drive to and fro from the golf course and trade it in every two years, not his favorite)

I would much rather have an old car like that than a new one that's built like trash!!!! I have a 1977 Nova Concours, but it's not as nice as this one, but I love it still!!!!

Tornado looks like busle back in 69?

These were beautiful cars, problem is at certain angles, they looked too much like a cheaper Chrysler.

Rumor was there was a Frank Sinatra edition that automaticaly punched reporters in the face if they got in..

Bob. Who straightened out the fuel injection on this vehicle? Has it been upgraded to new software or something? Thanks

Well done video. Chrysler used to make beautiful cars. It’s a shame that brand new cars today are not the least bit attractive, to me anyway. It’s like designers try extra hard to make fugly ugly cars.

Hey Bob & Becky! This is Lancy from ANCEL. I am reaching out to see whether you are interested in reviewing our OBD2 diagnostics scan tool? Looking forward to your reply.

With all due respect and I mean no disrespect by this but what is up with all these KZfaq's telling us their life story I just want to see the car
