More about this car
This 1962 Imperial Custom is one of 3,587 Southampton four-door hardtop sedans produced for the model year. It was purchased in Fredericksburg, Virginia, by the seller’s grandfather in 1973, sold by him circa 2005, and purchased again by him in 2010. Subsequent refurbishment work involved a repaint in black along with installing an electronic voltage regulator and replacing the water pump, alternator, exhaust system, chrome trim, carpeting, and blue vinyl upholstery. Power is supplied by a 413ci V8 paired with a push-button TorqueFlite automatic transmission. Equipment includes power steering and 15″ steel wheels with chrome covers as well as a power-adjustable front bench seat, power windows, and a push-button AM radio. This SY-1 Custom was inherited by the seller in 2020 and is now offered at no reserve with service records, show awards, and a Virginia title in the seller’s name. The body was first stripped and then refinished in black subsequent to rust abatement and repair that included replacing the rocker panels and sections of the floorboards, according to the seller. Exterior features include free-standing quad headlights and torpedo-style taillights, front-fender eyebrows, a fender-mounted side mirror, truncated tail fins, a decklid spear, chrome bumpers, and full-length body-side moldings. Close-up photos that show chrome bubbles on a headlight and pitting on a mirror can be viewed in the gallery below.
What the photos show
- Gallery: 50 photos from the Bring a Trailer listing, sampled across the full set in source order.
- Photos are the seller's own listing photos at original resolution (up to 4284×5712 in the sample) — zoom the gallery for panel, trim and finish detail.
- What the photos can't settle — underside condition, cold-start and driving behaviour — is not judged here.
Money: current bid $5,000, auction ends November 16, 2026 — the number that matters is the closing bid, not an asking price.
