Roadster Coachwork: LeBaron Chassis Num: 7803577 Engine Num: CL1287   This Chrysler Convertible Coupe wears coachwork by LeBaron and features the powerful 'red-Head' engine upgrade that increases the compression and power output with its red-painted cylinder head and accompanying intake manifold. It came from the factory fitted with many desirable options, including a clutchless shifting feature called 'freewheeling.' In December of 1988, this car became the property of Joe Morgan of New Hampshire, who purchased it from Marvin Jelinek. During the mid-1990s, Mr. Morgan conducted some restorative work, freshening various mechanical and cosmetic aspects of the vehicle. Mr. Morgan sold the car on May 15th of 2002 to its current owner, who set about restoring certain features of the car, and finished it in its original color of black with a tan interior. In 2010, this Chrysler Custom Imperial was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company Auction held in Amelia Island, Florida. The car was expected to sell for $500,000 - $600,000. Bidding reached $470,000 but was not enough to satisfy the car's reserve. It would leave the auction unsold. By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2010
