The car is complete and needs mechanical details to be drivable, but it doesn't need paint or chrome - unless you want an $80,000 restored show car that's worth $50,000 if you decide to let it go later. If you want a nice old car that you can drive in public without too much worry for "not so much", then this is a good choice.The body is largely rust free and has all original paint. The spare tire well is rusted through at the bottom. The trunk floor is rusted through at the rear right where it meets the bumper area, but that's it. You don't really need to fix either one unless you plan to drive the car in the rain, and even then if you keep the trunk empty, it won't really matter.Car comes with a set of 4 bias ply wide white tires that were purchased for $1000 11/19 - they are NEW.The car was woken up and started. Engine ran well. The car suffers from several major mechanical issues, none of which seem fatal: 1. water pump (removed, now in trunk) leaked badly at the weep hole. Bad seal. Rebuild for about $250.00. 2. carburetor leaks badly. Rebuild for about $250.003. Fuel tank almost certainly needs to be cleaned out and the rubber lines connecting it to the fuel pump replaced so that they're safe.4. Rebuild brake system. Even if it worked, it is prudent to replace the 65 year old rubber in the single cylinder brake system. Personally, I would make it my mission to do this as economically as possible - honing the master and wheel cylinders and then putting new rubber seals in makes more sense than paying high retail for rebuilt master and wheel cylinders. Don't forget to do the soft lines connecting frame to wheels.5. Exhaust is rotted out and not muffling the engine. You can do this last, but it's almost certainly headed your way. 6. Pray that the input and output shaft seals on the transmission are OK and that the thing holds its fluid and works. We think that this is highly likely given the evidence the rest of the way around this car.7. redo the wiring in the engine compartment. The insulation is almost gone, and engine fires or electrical fires are serious bummers. Good news is that the car is super simple and not a challenge to deal with.8. Wiring in the engine compartment is complete and present, but the insulation has fallen off the wires - they're 65 years old! Rewire it just as it is and you'll have a correctly wired car, this one is a survior because it was kept in a cool, dry place in an otherwise hot and dry area, this is what kept the rust away.Let us suppose that the engine, radiator, and transmission are OK? If so I forecast that about $2500.00 or less in parts and service would have this car running around and ready to register.Note that the body has a significant zing on driver's door, leading edge, passenger side rear lower area, flows into the wheel well. There is a scratch on the roofline as well as pinpoint dents on the leading edge of the drivers side and a dent plus crease on the passenger side. Lastly, there is a fist-sized dent in the rear decklid.Paint is original and has been partially polished out. Note that areas which have white, chalky look are not fully detailed - next owner will chase that either through a professional detailer or via a polishing session for the whole car.Odometer shows 51,000+ miles on it and this is believed to be correct and original. Car was last registered and drove on the street in 1998 - 22 years ago.There are small scoop vents on the body behind where the C pillar slopes down to the body. They let in fresh air for the trunk mounted AC unit that was from AIRTEMP - one of Chrysler's other divisions - Chrysler innovated considerably with AC - the Chrysler Building in NYC had a car showroom on the bottom floor, and the building featured air conditioned climate inside - first skyscraper to do so in history. Chrysler had experience with AC prior to this car, but it is a system that is in its infancy at the time that the Chrysler here was to be sold.This car is heavy and offers a smooth, commanding ride, especially on the open road.With 6,821 cars like this made, and only 10,268 total Imperials made in 1956, this is an incredibly low volume luxury car that is deeply scarce today. I strongly suspect that there are fewer than 50 in usable condition world wide based on my 25 year association with the Online Imperial Club and its website that carries far more information about Imperials than I can relay here. Imperial Registry there shows 280 cars listed, actual real life number is unlikely to exceed double that. Parts Inventory in the trunk photo: Original jack. No tire iron. Original wood wheel chock.Spark plug wire covers for valve covers.Water pump - needs rebuiltWater pump accessories Water pump hardware on cardboard - labeled for reassemblyFanIdler pulleyUsed (rebuildable) fuel pumpBattery hold downSpare tire - original/does not hold airSpare tire hold-down hardwareHeadlight and bezel.

You must insure the car during transport if you want it insured - I am not a commercial carrier and don't have insurance for vehicles that I pull on my heavy-duty trailer.
