My imp
Well-Known Member
Since I purchased my '81 Imperial, nearly everyone who has ridden in the car wants to know how I modified it. While the PO installed a 360 & MOST of the prerequisite modifications, nothing has been done to the interior, or exterior. "Oh, it couldn't have come with this or that. You must've changed, or added...". No, I didn't. A Chevy guy rode in it the other day & said he'd take my Imp over a brand new car. He never knew Mopar had anything like it. These cars will outdo GM & Ford offerings in almost anyway. I use mine as a daily driver for 3 seasons. I've taken it on 1,000+ mile trips with no problems. In the old days, you drove your new car for 3 seasons, & your "old" car (winter beater in rust belt speak) during the winter. Now I drive my "old" car for 3 seasons..... I don't see anything out there new that has as much to offer as the Imp that I want, let alone could afford. My nephew-in-law just bought a new Lexus that doesn't come close. He said about my wind noise, let's see what your Lexus sounds like in 34 yrs. I can change window seals for a lot cheaper than a new Lexus. Just sayin'.
