I'm running 02 Dodge Intrepid as my DD, sometimes use 91 Lebaron with turbo and manual shifter. My wife drives 06 Town&Country as family minivan.

Good catch :p however company I work with exports cars from US, not sure if they will be able to handle everything through Canada. I will contact them to verify, as the price seem to be reasonable for this Imperial.

Looks pretty sweet. Is it a big deal to bring it to US? Anything tricky required or just load it up on a truck and move on?

Looks a-ok for me to be honest. Definitely depends on final price, but still seem to be a car and not a rusty bucket

As for starting, today is 50F and after sitting for 2 days car started like a champ from the first engine rev, without any priming/pumping - like modern injector car. But carb tuning was harder than I expected when watching uncle Tony's videos - have some random misfire, which causes vacuum gage...

Continue getting familiar with NYer. Was concerned about blinking OIL lamp that I haven't noticed earlier. Checked the oil level and it was too high and was superthin like water. I suspect it was thinned by gasoline. Am I supposed to change oil every time I have starting issues? :) So there was...

Thank you for explaining even basic things. Although I do understand some carb principles, it is always better to have some support :) As for the update today - was able to start the car (in 4 hands) - son cranked it while I was trying to see squirts through opened primary/choke door - and...

No it doesn't run, doesn't start (another car is heard on video). Thanks, I guess I'll check fuel pump first then will look towards disassembling carb

Well, I found out that it is pretty hard to troubleshoot this stuff alone :) anyway, first I noticed that metering rod is stuck/not moving, but that was an easy fix - unscrewed it and released, screwed back. now it moves freely. Somehow I rode fine several times and didn't notice anything...

Won't confirm this after first start failure :)

it should have 4bbl thermoquad, but I didn't have a reason to verify, since it was running a-ok :poke:

Got my *** kicked today by NY-er - started right up but idling was really rough (noticed such behavior on cold start earlier, but it was getting fixed after short warmup), but after couple of minutes it stalled and I couldn't start it again even with QuickStart spray. I've got carbed Suzuki bike...

As for exterior look, my car is missing pinstripes, but I wonder whether it needs side moldings? i.e. this pic (as well as 75LandYacht one) shows side molding: while there is no such molding in Chrysler catalog Was is some kind of an option? I'd assume st regis has a fullset of options
