1969 Chrysler Imperial 1969 Chrysler Imperial Limousine NBC Bob Hope limo 8 passenger 1 of 6 built

Description

I purchased this car at the beginning of last year. Came out of Seattle, I'm in NC. The plan was for my father and 2 nephews to fly cross country, go over the car for a week and drive it back. Doing a tour along museums and other sites that would be a memory my nephews would never forget. Well, rona happened, all the museums and sites shut down. Holding out that things would change, they never did and I had the car shipped to NC. My sole purpose in purchasing the car was for the family experience and the PR for the museum. Due to the total incompetence with the NC DMV, it has taken till NOW to get the title back from them. We've driven the car locally and most everything works. What does not work: Heater core went out when the previous owner was loading the car. I do not know if the AC works, previous owner claims yes, but we haven't charged it to verify it takes about 5.5lbs. Gas gauge does not work, driver rear window is off the track. The rest of the gauges, lights and cruise work as they should. Should last forever as a 440/727/Dana 60 setup.
You can see from the condition it's a driver car. It has light surface rust in various places. Any places that were issues, I took pictures of. Please ask any specific questions you have and I'll do my best to answer.  It would have been perfect for our use, but sadly, that didn't work out. You can search my collection via mccandless antique auto. There is a reserve on the car, it is significantly less than I paid for it. The reserve is well under 30k. Below I will copy and past from the imperial club website about this specific car. It's well known as 2 owners prior a guy was trying to sell it for 6 figures, which wasn't realistic.
I can help with transportation. This car is 22.5' long, it ain't small. I can offer enclosed transport (single car trailer) within 500 miles for 1.5 a mile from 27215
