Thanks Craig! Appreciate the opportunity to buy these rare parts, and the speedy shipping!

Thanks for the great news!

Mbaird, I’m in Idaho Falls. Will be in Boise on March 9 for a day, if you have time for a cup of coffee.

A quick update. I’ve retired and unretired (to help a friend start a new business) in the past half year. I’ve been able to spend a few hours a week on the Imperial, mostly catching up on 40+ years of deferred maintenance. I’ve put about 300 miles on the car, and used it as a daily driver...

It is a pretty color, and your’s was a great looking car! I have a long way to go. Did you have to have new fabric inserts sewn into the front seats. Mine are separated at the seams.

Beautiful car!

Any more photos of your 67 Coupe? I could only find a few; looks really nice.

I crawled in the trunk today...just about got lost. Looks like there is a heater core, a blower, some ductwork, and a vacuum solenoid. I don't see an evaporator in there, unless it's hidden somewhere.
