Since I've only been able to see the car occasionally, I'm not exactly sure when the leak is occurring. Definitely while sitting, but I'm not sure if it's a drip or a flood. (The car sits for a very long time between my visits.) And it leaks a lot while driving. My friends in OKC--who are...

Yeah, I think (hope!) so. We've visited a lot and loved it, so we're ready to load up the wagons...

Yup, big change. We've lived in Boston for about 20 years, and we're done with the winters, the crowds, the expense, etc. My wife and I have very flexible jobs, and we have lots of friends in OKC. So why not try something really different, at least for a few years? (Plus, the Imperial has...

Yeah, I realize that the shift-shaft seal should be an easy thing (assuming that's really it)... but I won't be in town for very long. Basically, I'll have time to drop it off somewhere, but that's about it. As for shipping/driving the car home: neither! We're actually going to move to OKC...

Hi all, I disappeared for a while because I sold my '67 Monaco... but I replaced it with a beautiful '67 Imperial. The problem is that the Imperial has been stuck in storage halfway across the country in Oklahoma City (long story....). But next week we'll be reunited when I go to OKC for a...

Thanks guys, that's very helpful. (Sometimes you have to troubleshoot the troubleshooting...)

So this is kind of weird: Before I buy new fuses, I pulled out the blown fuse with the idea of testing it using one of the other working fuses. I figured I would just swap in the radio fuse and see if it works. Well, the fuse from the radio blew out as soon as I hit the brake pedal. But then...

Perfect, thanks!

Hi all, Been a while since I posted... just been enjoying the car! ('67 Monaco.) But now I have a problem (which will show you how new I am to classic cars): I need to replace the 20a fuse for the brake lights. I assume it should use a "fast blow" fuse instead of a "slow" one. But I...

I'm a proud uncle! My brother got the car!!! I'll encourage him to join the forum & post some pics as soon as he gets a chance. Thanks again to everyone who shared their opinion about the listing; it really helped to know that there weren't any danger signs.

Latest news: the car was exactly as the listing described (10-foot paint, but otherwise pristine) except for a steering pump issue. Negotiations are under way...

Thanks to everyone for your comments (and to saylor for your very generous offer to take a look at the car). My brother will go see the car tomorrow night; I'll share a full report as soon as I get the details.
