Description:

With its distinctive, factory-correct Golden Tan paint shining brightly and showing an overall level of functionality that would be downright impressive for a car a decade or so newer, this 1982 Chrysler Imperial is an outlier in the best possible way. This well-preserved relic from a much simpler time is a bona fide looker. Not only is its paint in great shape, with a deep, even shine, but its chrome bumpers and trim have come through the decades looking strong, and those hideaway headlights, a defining style element on many luxury cars during this era, are still functional and sit nice and flush in their closed position. More than 40 years after this Imperial rolled off the assembly, its body panel alignment remains thoroughly intact, with doors, hood and trunk that all shut with a reassuring "thud".

Climb inside, and you'll be immersed in a driving environment that looks much as it did when this car was new. The power front buckets, with their distinctive button pattern and plush padding, have held up well, and the array of factory luxury options this Chrysler began life with, including those power seats, as well as power door locks, windows and mirrors, all function as intended. The original AM/FM/Cassette stereo is standing by to offer its period-correct audio experience.

This stylish cruiser features a smooth driving experience that's very much in keeping with its sophisticated appearance. It's powered by a factory-correct 5.2-liter V8. From the factory it came with early and unreliable fuel injection. That concern has been rectified and it is now equipped with a 2-barrel carburetor and is running great, starting right up, idling smoothly and providing solid acceleration. The engine pairs with a 3-speed automatic A904 transmission that shifts right on cue. An upgraded aluminum radiator sits up front to help keep operating temperatures in check and, with power steering and power brakes that include front discs, this '80s Mopar classic is easy to navigate and bring to a stop as it cruises on its set of factory-style 15" wheels wrapped with Nexen tires that appear to have plenty of miles left on them.
