the Imperial is traditionally the
0:06
biggest Chrysler passenger car that you
0:08
can get other than wagons and vans in
0:11
1972 Imperial learon came with just a
0:14
single engine the 440 cubic in V8 indeed
0:18
most Imperials over time came with a
0:21
single engine and it was usually
0:23
Chrysler's top of the line as far as
0:25
luxury goes I don't believe any
0:28
Imperials were sold with a 426 Street
0:30
Emy because that was not a luxury engine
0:32
that was a racing engine and the 1972
0:36
Imperial again there was just the
0:37
Imperial learon it was only a hard top
0:41
they had a two-o and a four-door so your
0:43
choice of doors and it had very very few
0:46
options so that you wouldn't have to
0:48
fill it up very often it came with a
0:50
very big fuel tank bigger than the
0:52
Chrysler came with a big radiator its
0:55
curb weight was 150 lb over the shipping
0:58
weight and the main difference between
1:00
the shipping weight and the curb weight
1:01
is the fluids they fill up the tank
1:04
instead of putting in three gallons and
1:06
so forth the twoo hardtop version of the
1:09
Imperial in 1972 weighed
1:12
4,940 lb in shipping weight the 4door
1:17
5,070 lb so you know when they talk
1:21
about the Next Generation charger
1:22
weighing over 4,000 lb well this
1:24
Imperial weighed 5,070 and was almost
1:27
certainly smaller inside but but they
1:30
were true luxury cars they were made in
1:32
very small numbers and they had all the
1:34
sound insulation Chrysler could shove in
1:38
1972 this is the full list of options
1:42
first dual air conditioning with
1:44
automatic temperature control and that
1:46
added 45 lbs a power bench front seat
1:51
that's a single front seat that moves
1:54
all forward and back together 25 lb a
1:58
power 50/50 SP spit front seat so driver
2:01
and passenger could have different
2:03
positions was 48 lb cruise control added
2:06
5 lb that seems like a lot power locks
2:10
added 7 lb that's all those Motors and
2:12
if you got the four-door it was 11 lb a
2:16
rear window defroster ated 4 lb kind of
2:19
odd that it wasn't standard and if you
2:21
want to look at skid control this was
2:24
the first four-wheel antiock brake setup
2:27
in an American car it had been launched
2:29
as an option on the 1971 Imperial it was
2:32
quite expensive but it was unique there
2:36
were very very few cars in the world
2:38
that had antiock brakes at that point
2:40
and that weighed 71 lb well that's all
2:44
I've got this is a very short video I
2:46
hope that you liked it tune in more or
