We bought a couple of 1968 Imperials from a local estate and took a road trip down to get them. One is a convertible loaded out with every option from Texas. It is blue in color with auto temp, ac, cruise, sentinel, etc etc. other one is a green hardtop in really good shape. First we go to the house to look at two XK120 Jaguars and a Citroen 2CV. Really cool cars but not really in our area of expertise. We also look at a 62 Dodge Lancer with an aluminum slant 6 we bought with the Imperials we will be getting at a later date (and will do a video on that one when we get it).

Imperials are stored in a really cool storage building, think they were chicken barns at some point and they have some really cool cars in them. Bought a 72 Dart and a 46 Willys CJ2A out of this same shed a couple of years ago. Follow us getting the Imperials out of the barn with varying levels of pain. The green one had locked up 4 piston Imperial only front brakes but freed up on their own. The blue one had both rear brakes locked up and it took a good amount of "motivation" to get them free. If you don't have an Evan to help you highly recommend finding an Evan as he is fantastic.

Will do a video of getting both of these running in a week or two so stay tuned!
