Probably that rare, because the dash designer failed at re-inventing the circle. This is one area in which they really shouldn't have gone cheap, in a top of the line car. Other than that, it looks to be in great shape for a Great Salt State car. Bring your magnets, just in case
Here's a 69 available in my hometown for $8,500. https://yakima.craigslist.org/cto/d/yakima-1969-imperial/6814487090.html Ad doesn't claim that this is a Crown, and honestly I can't tell. But for $3,500 less than the blue one, it looks like a heckuva nice car.
The difference between a Crown and not probably starts with the differing grilles. I prefer the one on the subject Imp. It looks more simple and harmonious to the rest of the design, to the point of timelessness. The one you just posted looks a little too LTD-like. One would have to look hard, at a distance, to be sure it's an Imp
The grilles were the same per year either Crown or Lebaron... The blue car is a base Crown and wayyyy overpriced.. By more than double.. The Yakama car is a '69 LeBaron.... A little heavy on the price but appears the seller is going after the more custom crowd.....
Judging by the rear plate on the blue car, that thing has not been registered/possibly driven in 12 years.
Kevin I believe you are correct, I think the last year you could use the Blue plate was 2006, so if it was registered in 2007 or later it would have a white/blue plate.
