Still here, just been busy and distracted. Still need a bumper, sent you a PM. Sorry it took so long.

Excellent news. Somehow I thought the location was drastically different judging by the hole locations, and it would slice the stem or bend it so far down it would leak. Currently only have one '66, all the rest are later. Thank you.

Hey Bob - just found this. Congrats! They are definitely high quality cars as you saw. Trying to remember if the number is 514 or 541 convertibles for '66. Lowest of the 3 yrs as I recall. Looks well-optioned, tilt/tele wheel and the 420 AM/FM wonderbar radio. Even Matt's power vents. Only thing...

Nice shots, Patrick. Sad story about the AWACS crew, yet another example of Mother Nature and mankind colliding. I noticed you have the later ('67 onward) hubcaps on your '66. Did you change the rims or will the newer hubcaps work without damaging the valve stems?

Okay, tried to message but it says your inbox is full. This was after I tried to msg and it said I was at my limit. One of those nights....

Dang, that bumper looks pretty good to me. So long as it's not bent up or rusty, it'd be fine. Cloudy, dull, scratched, whatever. Of course, getting it from CA to VA would be the challenge. Shipped a rear bumper for a '52 F-1 pickup once from OH to NC for under $50 as I recall. Wasn't much to...

Thank you for the kind words. It has not been easy with mom on many levels. Taking care of her from afar is taxing for sure, but also her 'receding' memory (she can tell me what she put in my lunch in 4th grade but asks me 4 times during a 15 minute trip where we're going) as well as just the...

I'll be curious to hear what you find as far as little quirks or such. I find it a lot more difficult to get inside doors and under the dash lately. 4 days should give you enough time to leisurely go through it without having to throw it all back together by the end of the day. Not sure when...

Haven't yet gotten to my A/C, not expecting much, though. Just now catching up on all of your posts for the last couple years, Patrick. Sorry for the loss of your dog. My buddy of 14 years has been gone since '96, still miss him. What was the outcome with your DS back window, or is it still...

Well boys & girls, it's been a busy coupla years here. The Imp has been on the back burner more or less since the move in 2019 with only slight attention paid to it and the occasional start up and move around. Did at least get the coolant changed out last fall so it's fresh. Still needs an oil...

Thanks Dave.

Thanks for the tip, sb61fury. Will give them a call tomorrow. detmatt - just heard back from boltupal. He has only the top light bar section which is fine as it's from a '64 but should work for a '66. The bottom bumper differs on the '66 due to the backup lights being moved down on that year...

Well, when you let them drive off with your paperwork still sitting on their front seat, you don't have much of a case. It was late, I was flipped out over the damage, tired, etc. He played dumb when I called later, no idea who I was and all that. Then he pretended to be a girl selling real...

Still trying to locate a decent rear bumper for my '66 Imp. Both pieces needed - top 'light bar' section and lower bumper piece. Pretty sure the top piece is the same for '64-'66. The lower bumper section is unique to that year due to the backup lights being added to it. Looking for decent...

Yep, been awhile - again. Trying to sneak in a little time to work on the '66 Imp to tie up a few more loose ends. Have a new glove box to install but can't do that until I replace the HCV. And while that sounds straightforward enough and should be, I will add that my current one is...
