Re: IML: Is this a 1957 or 58 8-Door Imperial Limo for sale?

[David Wilker <wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I think the Miradas and Cordobas had the same overall chassis, but the only body parts the same are the...doors? The Imperial does fine with the 318 (carb conversion) and high-gear rear axel, but I like the idea of a 440/727 combo.
