Beautiful Imperials. The cost to stamp those front fenders unique to the Imperial was substantial. But the designers convinced Chrysler executives that it was necessary to set Imperial apart from the New Yorkers and Newports in the showroom.

Hi from Sydney, Australia. My dad was American and held a key role in strategic command here for years. He had an identical tri-black one of these as his "company" car, complete with New South Wales diplomatic rego/license plates, it also had eagle crests in gold on the front doors, very swish. As a personal car he had an Aussie, 2 door pillarless 1971 CH series Chrysler by Chrysler also in triple black, this car had factory paisley patterned vinyl on the roof. These were Mopars' premium local car, with 115" wheelbase & just short of 17foot, they really looked like a pygmy version of the big Imperial 2 doors. He only had the '71 coupe for almost 2 years when a drunk woman ran into it while parked on a street. In the CJ model update the poor selling 2 door was deleted, so was black paint. So, he ordered a 4 door instead in a very pretty slightly pale copper, with off white nylon brocade trim and beige roof. The earlier version had no chrome/stainless wheel arch molds, sill rail molds, nor complete door glass frame molds. The CJ model update address this short coming and placed stainless covers on the sill or rocker panels, delicate wheel arch trims and total covers over the glass door frames, dumped the horrible tacky red reflector running between the rear taillight s and replaced it with a classy really nicely patterned burnished alloy applique. The earlier 4 door CH looked a little miserly in the chrome department with micro 1/4 inch trims in the middle of the near 2inch wide glass door frames. Looking side on the shape & stance of the two 4 doors, your large Imperial and the Aussie 4 door Chrysler the stance & shape is SO similar, certainly with the front & rear screen angles and the roof shape. In mid 1979 the giant triple black Imperial was collected & replaced with a tri-black new for '79 Dodge St Regis, it was so underwhelming that my mum said jokingly .. did you get demoted ?? When I saw it I thought, what a come down, how disappointing by comparison to the beautiful black Imperial. Only trouble with the Imp' was re-starts on hot days, or when humid & wet in summer mornings or early evenings. My parents' house has a super long driveway a garage at the halfway mark on the drive, plus it runs direct to the street behind, so no backups required. The garage was ultralong but single width, so in my last 2 years at school, I'd turn my mum's giant Jaguar mk10/420G around and jump start the Imperial the Jaguar had a BIGGER battery and heavier alternator as well. Jump it with the Jag & the crazy sounding Chrysler starter motor rolled & flung over like it was supercharged. I have always liked the 4.2 litre XK Jaguar engines as all and only 4.2's have a pre-engaged starter that connects & engages WHEN YOU TURN IT OFF, so even if you have a low battery the thing will start, plus their starters also have a unique & vicious sound. Good luck with the sale of this one. I do not have an Imperial, however I have a white 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham, with a 70th anniversary trim pack, plus a black1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman both are GM export CKD (completely knocked down) "kit cars", not built in the USA, and not USA spec, so full power engines with no anti-pollution gear save a charcoal cannister to stop fuel turning to vapor & disappearing. From 1971 GMH-Aust only ordered 2 CKD cars for '71, 72 & 73 the Buick Riviera, and '71,72,73 & 74 the big Fleetwood Broughams. Ford Aust stopped Lincoln mk4's & Galaxie/LTD's in 73 , and Chrysler Aust's Dodge Pheonix (plymouth fury 3's) dressed inside like an Imperial in 1971. Which was just a 1970 model fitted with an American grill, hub caps etc as prior for 1970 we had our own Aussie unique trims etc, I guess re-cycling the 1970 US stuff gave an extra model year for zero extra cost .

@gregharvie3896 Жыл бұрын
@@paullundgren6319Hi there, GM Holden Australia after creating a new 17foot long local luxury Holden, The Brougham in 1968, the HK series , using the Chev327ci v8 & 2 speed powerglide same as what had been in the "flat-pack" ckd cars of the earlier 1960's as our own 308 ci ultra high compression V8 was running late , same with our "shrunken copy" of the original Cadillac division spec early GM THM400 automatic , as in later years it had been asset stripped. GMH-A could see sales were not as high as the basic Chev Impala & Pontiac Parisienne sales even though the 1969 HT series Brougham went on sale & '70 HG, with way more power & more upmarket internal trim. GMH-A would need some real US cars to sell to the cashed up buyer. So with the new 1971 to '76 body style to launch late 1970 GMH-A would select just 2 cars, being the Buick Riviera and Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham -- NOTE-- ZERO other choices as a FACTORY RHD car. This meant serious re-engineering to suit Aussie roads, heat, lighting requirements, braking distances, etc. In 1971 GMH released their new, bigger, better HQ Holden Statesman available in Custom, or De Ville trim levels these from rear and rear side on looked very much like the 3 foot shorter little brother of the new 1971 Cadillac Fleetwood Brougham. In just over a month I will have owned the black '74 Fleetwood for 41 years. I bought it because a pair of thieves stole my wonderful Aussie version of a Cadillac, my 22-month-old 1980 Holden Statesman Caprice and I had to wait for a new one to be built. When I realized in 1986 that Holden would never make such a car again I bought some more US style CKD kit cars. in '86 a 1965 Galaxie LTD, in '88 a 1979 Collectors Series Lincoln Town Car, another Fleetwood Brougham in 1990 a '72 model & in 1992 a 1973 MK4 silver luxury series Continental mk4 Coupe in the alternate 2nd color choice a Cranberry Firemist, with deep cream padded vinyl roof & dark plum color leather seats. ALL RHD. I still have them all now in 2023, plus 2nd Holden Statesman Caprice that I bought after the first one was stolen, PLUS, my prior car to the Holden, a 1967 giant Jaguar mk10 or as these last of the line were called 420G (same car different name) . Holden made a common RHD firewall & identical wiring loom etc for the Riviera & Fleetwood so our Aussie CKD Fleetwood's have the Rivera exclusive combined traction control & ABS brake system called trackmaster. When GM USA neutered the rear end of the Riviera for upcoming 1974 model the Riviera finished in late 1973 there were no RHD '74 Riv's. The big Fleetwood's soldiered on until July 1974 when an even more upmarket Holden Statesman Caprice was launched the HJ series, followed by HX , HZ , SL/E, then in mid 1980 the fantastic new WB series 1 updated by the WB series 2 in 1983. I have owned since new a late 1982 series 1. Made for just 6 years with just one mid-term update of componentry, there was no visual difference save for hubcap pressing on the DeVille. There was a rationalizing of parts/options nothing else. These cars never depreciated, they were bought and kept, when production stopped in late 1985 examples that did come to the market were selling for higher than new prices and people happily paid. When 5 years later GMH-A re-introduced a Commodore wagon platform based "statesman" in late 1990 it had a retail price of $10,000 less than the prior car, and occasionally you would see a WB series Caprice at a Holden dealership that with a 100,000k's + on the odometre for sale with a higher selling price than a BRAND NEW little Commodore wagon based Caprice. Swiss carmaker Peter Monteverdi made a 4 door car in 1970 powered by a 7.2litre, Chrysler 440 v8 the 375 / 4, the giant WB Holden Statesman looks like it owes 80% of its looks to that Monteverdi. Give it the same big rectangular headlights and parking/indicator lights as Rolls Royce Silver Spirit, a classic style full metal grill coming to a slight V at front but looking like a Rolls. Then for the interior, cover all the doors, seats, console in best grade soft Aussie leather and give it more lights and features than any Cadillac ever, then make it $138 less than a new 560SEL Benz, expensive. Imagine if you mixed the best of a Fleetwood, with the best of a Benz 560SEL, you made it 17-foot-long, 77 inches wide, 120 inch wheelbase, it weighs 2.5 tons as it's built out of heavy duty thick GALVANIZED steel. It's a near silent cocoon as has thick glass, massive amounts of insulation for heat suppression, noise. 36 ounce wool carpet, woolen flannel headlining with stitched joins to go on the roof bows to hold it in place, Bilstein, or adjustable Koni gas shock absorbers. This exceeds the Talisman, and my 1979 RHD Collectors Series Lincoln Town Car, for luxury and internal space and legroom. The premium Caprice is a 4 seater like the Talisman 4 huge leather thrones made by Scheele in Germany way superior to anything offered by Mercedes at that time. Plus from inception in july '74 Caprices had ABS brakes. WB's have tall rear mudguards, a high bootlid, giving a huge deep boot with spare sitting upright in the left rear mudguard. The 5litre V8's were the identical engines used by Peter Brock for his car racing exploits durable V8 capable of over half a million kilometres with ZERO failures of any kind, bullet proof. The WB'S have a strange construction, a full Monocoque body, then fitted to a 2/3rd forward chassis & a separate 2/3rds rearwards chassis, meaning the passenger cell was a double chassis zone for exceptional strength. The doors are double rubber sealed, the engine bay bonnet/hood has a full rubber seal the whole way around. Then there's the front clip the entire front of the car from windscreen/firewall to front bumper. made from a multitude of heavy gauge steel the nose cone, inner nose cone, inner guards, outer guards, engine bay side walls, firewall to nose upper reinforcing bar, complete wheel well shell. When being designed the benchmark was to be able to drive home virtually damage free after hitting a sheep, cow, or 8foot tall Murray Grey Kangaroo at 100kph/60mph, a battering ram & is why for its size in length weighs in at 2.5 tons it's like a fortress, pure quality.

Too many of these Imperials were lost in demolition derbies, due to the distance between the front end and the engine block. There was a slight grill change from the 72 and 73. And, the bumper guards were added for the 5 mph front and the 2 and a half for the back on the 73. Hate to admit this. I miss vinyl tops. I loved the 72 Satellite Sebring plus with the half top.

Was Imperial a separate brand like Dodge or was it a model?
@boydsdodge Жыл бұрын
Hello. Imperial was a Chrysler company division (1955-75,) Like Cadillac was to GM and Lincoln was to Ford.

In 73 I was 10 years old. I wonder does this car have a catalytic converter?

No catalytic converter on 73 Chryslers and Imperials

Nice car man. Is that a 440 or 400 cid engine? I have a 73 triple black Charger SE it's my first car and I bought it in 1979. The only thing I don't like about your car and mine is the ridiculous front rubber bumper things. i call them rammers. Years ago around 1972 they had to add the ugly rammers to our cars since the cool looking bumpers weren't' "safe" enough. I had a wimpy 400 2 bbl carb on mine. It was six years old when I bought it too young to buy it new. I rebuilt the motor for performance a dozen years ago and converted it to fuel injection and put on a MSD ignition system. The 73 Chrysler Dodge Plymouth year was the first year that they came with standard electronic ignition so tune ups easy. Plus could run on unleaded gas. I took my engine from 175 hp ti 425 hp. Starting in 1972 all the car makers had to cut back the horsepower to get economy. The hemi last year was 71 . That's definitely a sweet car you have. I've been a mopar man my whole life. My daily driver is n 05 Magnum R/T

Thanks for the great story on your Charger, I am doing a mechanical restoration on a 73 Plymouth GTX right now in the garage. My Imperials and all Imperials from 1966 come standard with 440 4 barrel engines. Thanks again.

I was on my usual site FCBO (ForCBodiesOnly.com) When I came across the ad for Tux a 1973 Imperial black with white interior, Tux the Imperial was not far from me so I went for a look. I wanted Tux, but the deal was I had to buy three Imperials to get Tux. I bought the three, two were unseen, one of them being TB the Triple black Imperial in this video. I hope you enjoyed the progress to get TB presentable.
