1974-1978 Chrysler New Yorker, Imperial, or Newport for Parts
"I'd like to purchase a 1974-1978 Chrysler New Yorker, Imperial, or Newport to use as a parts car. I'll give you $50 finders fee if you turn me on to someone elses that I end up purchasing."
BTW, I had thought
@C Body Bob was helping you out. If he is unable to, let me know and I will see what I can do... Shipping from FL will probably suck, watch Fastenal... they had a $100 sale a while back if the value was less than $999. I think they charge as much by value as size or weight, not that I'm an expert.

Mopar REBUILT Factory REAR DISC Brakes From A 1975 Chrysler Imperial
"I rebuilt this factory REAR DISC Brake system off a 1975 Chrysler Imperial, that was equipped with a 9 1/4" inch axle.
This set up is 100% complete, all there, nothing missing, with all the parking brake mechanism, and parts.
I cleaned all the parts in the solvent tank of Superclean solution, and then soaked the parts in a 5 gallon pail of Evaporust, to remove all the surface rust off the parts, and then painted the rotors and calipers with VHT cast iron grey, high heat paint, and the brackets with Rustoleum black.
Calipers rebuilt with new kits installed, and new brake pads.
The rotors measure in at .980 and .950 thousandths of an inch, all above minimum specifications.
If you know about these Imperial rear disc brake systems you are aware that the rotors alone are obsolete, hens teeth, dinosaur eggs, unobtanium, to find in this day and age, and are very high $$$$$ dollar items.
After you install these new brakes on your vehicle, most likely this will be the last brake job you will ever be doing on it, so years down the road you won't have to search for missing parts.
Naturally with doing a rear disc brake conversion such as this, you need to have the mechanical skill, and ability to do this conversion.
All parts are being sold "as is " condition, what you see in all the pictures.
You will be bending new brake hard lines along the axle tubes to fit.
Adapt parking brake cables to fit the mechanism.
Add a new or rebuilt master cylinder of your choosing, for the larger fluid volume reservoir for now rear disc brakes in the rear.
The left side brakes mount forward, and the right side brakes mount rearward.
Can be used on the 8 3/4, 9 1/4, and 9 3/4, Dana 60, passenger car axles, without difficulty.
On a 8 3/4, and 9 3/4 axle you don't use the 5th, brake backing plate hold down bolt to the axle tube, at the 6 o,clock low position.
Seling everything at $750.00 plus what it takes for the FEDEX people to get all the parts to your zip code.
With insurance, and signature delivery fees included on two packages.
I prefer a postal money order for payment, but i will accept Pay Pal if you pay their fees, or family and friends payment, which is no fee.
Your choice, whatever you want to do, with Pay Pal payment.
Or, if an in person purchase, and pick up, a wallet full of one hundred dollar bills, will do.
Serious people, send me a message, and i will get back with you with all my payment information.
Send me a pm, if your a serious buyer, and not a shopper, look-e-loo, or tire kicker."
Did not include your #... you can do that if you like, I don't like taking liberties with contact information as a rule.
IMO, the price is strong. The parts are also very hard to find, if not almost impossible. If compared to an aftermarket set up, this wouldn't be a bad price... and I'd likely pay up if I had the need of the pieces for the 74's.
The couple technical issues that spring to mind... The master cylinder is different and equally difficult to find, but the drum brake master from 76-78 may work... I've not tried it myself, just going by what AZ would sell for the car (watch out for hold off valve). The park brake cables are different PN from the factory too... but the drum ones might work or customs might be easy enough to get.
The easy to get or substitute parts are calipers, pads, and hoses... the rest is truly a find here.
The FSM new rotor thickness is listed as 1.000-1.010, with a discard of .940 ... JIC someone was curious. I walked away from a pair of rusty rotors at Carlisle because they were about 7/8 of an inch and rusty (tape measure)... there is currently another set of used rotors for $600 out there, but without the rest of the setup. Just as a reference for price.
I am glad it's not closer, I'm less tempted to go look at it.
