This car has been in my signiture for a few months now and I just got it in my posession this past weekend so I thought it was time to show it off to my B-body brethren. I have it in my sig because I consider it to be a keeper and if any of you have ever driven one of these you would probably want to keep it too!
Bought it from a buddy of mine that has had it for 4 years, it came from AZ but spent most of its life in WA state where it was bought new. My friend noticed me taking an interest in the car when I was at his place one day and figured he was probably never going to do anything with it so he offered it to me and I couldn't say no. This car is 99.5% rustfree and is in original, well cared for, unrestored condition. It's a `67 Imperial Crown Coupe with its original 440 that runs great. As with any car that has sat for 5+ years it needs a few things but I'll chip away at it as time allows. For the most part I'm just going to drive and enjoy this beauty. Power windows, including the vents on the doors all work along with the power antenna, sentinel safegaurd lighting, just a kool car. More details to come.

Cool beans!! I have always like those.....never saw many when they were new either.
 
Sweet car that's for sure!
Here is a '66 that was at Mopars in the Park in Farmington MN last weekend.

When Detroit stopped making those cars AND Muscle Cars, America began it's decline.
Funny thing: Under Ronald Reagan, Ford and Chrysler began "Musclecars" again (1986)

Cool beans Matt!

What a plush ghetto cruiser.

Careful where you drive it around The Motor City!

Enjoy!!!
 
Silver interior- cool.

I know where there's a green 4 door at a salvage yard, complete air cleaner to pan K code 440 and passenger side remote mirror.
 
Very nice. Glad to see that it's a two door. Real 1960's 'space age silver' interior!
 
she's in good hands!

THAT is a sweet-*** ride Matt!!

it might even become to be even be your favorite car...you barely have to do anything to it!! unlike a DOG we know!! lol

congrats, Man!
 
Wow Matt, That is in beautiful shape! Great color and love those duel pipes out the back! Ive only had one C-Body, that being a 59 Imperial, It was a nice ride, No where near as fancy as this one with power windows and all.. Great cruiser... Enjoy!
 
I haven't driven my truck since Monday, I absolutely love driving this car! No offense Ron, but the pipes have to go! I don't mind that the duals were put on but I need to get them tucked up as far as I can and put some turn downs on it. IMO, you don't need to see the exhaust on a car like this.
Thanks to all for the nice compliments!

None taken Matt, I do think the turn downs would look better under it, especially the turn downs, It does look loud with them this way but a more dignified screamer in order! Not meaning a Cherry bomb sound either lol. Have fun with it.
