It Sat 30 Years—Now He Drives It Weekly | 1966 Imperial Crown | Richard with Barry T

Richard brought his unrestored 1966 Imperial Crown four-door hardtop—and he didn’t bring it on a trailer. After sitting off the road for 30 years with 33,000 original miles, Richard returned the Imperial to service, put another 5,000–6,000 miles on it and drove approximately five hours from northwestern Arizona to the show. Richard tells Barry T what it took to make the car dependable again, why the period-correct name is Imperial Crown rather than Chrysler Imperial, and what made these cars so advanced for 1966. Features include the first-year 440-cubic-inch V8, automatic transmission, factory air conditioning, Auto-Pilot cruise control, power antenna, power vent windows, six-way power seating and a remarkably preserved original interior. 00:00 An unrestored survivor after 30 years 00:28 Driven five hours to the show 00:49 Only 33,000 original miles 01:03 Returning the Imperial to the road 02:16 Another 5,000–6,000 miles 02:33 Imperial as a separate luxury brand 03:20 The 440 and factory luxury features 04:32 The original time-capsule interior 05:15 Four-door hardtop and iconic styling Would you continue driving this survivor or give it a complete restoration? #BarryTsGarage #ImperialCrown #SurvivorCar
