    @Knebel DONORODSW (Dirty Old, Nasty Old, Rusty Old, Deutsche Scheise Wagens) You can tell I was around them for WAY too long!

    Ever see brake booster like this?

    Mercedes used them: 180, 190, 219, 220S and 220SE. No Diesels. 45 years ago my daily driver was a '58 220S sedan. I got the kit from the Mercedes dealer, took it apart, replaced all the parts including the diaphragm, put it back together and didn't use the tube of lube that was in the kit. When...

    15 inch tire sizes for 67 Newport Custom

    When I was running my '68 Custom Suburban as a daily driver back in the day, I was running 235/70/75/78 x 15 all the way around with the stock wheels.

    I have a chance maybe to buy a junk '57 Imperial convertible

    @Pete Kaczmarski I agree, I am 72 and in reasonably good health but you never know. That's also part of the equation and I can't say I am not worried about the money but I've been in the parts business for most of my life and I know a lot of the players. The other issue is that the reason it was...

    I have a chance maybe to buy a junk '57 Imperial convertible

    I may have a chance to “Save” a very derelict ’57 Imperial convertible. No engine, trans, interior or a lot of other stuff. I may also be able to get a ‘65 Imperial Crown 4 door parts car reasonably complete. I am thinking about a total mechanical change out, kind of making it a ’59. Install a...

    Lost my #%@in' keys! '77 NYB

    I've locked myself out of my vehicles too many times. I carry 2 sets of keys with me. One for which ever car I'm driving and one with ALL the car's keys. One morning I got a call from my wife, she locked herself out at work with the engine running! I found the extra key and opened up for her...

    Carlisle 2024

    @mobileparts Craig; Sometimes I need to take the money home. My van let me down half way up the Jersey 'Pike so I took a quick load off the top with the Forester and didn't take in enough to cover the spaces! They give you 'til January 9th. We will see you at Allentown?

    When to replace transmission bands?

    I would use a new one regardless. Once you're in everything gets replaced.

    $1500 Fury 1 near me

    When I worked in Trenton, NJ in the early Seventies these were all over the place. Both the city and the state used them. Both sticks and automatics. And the city police and State Police used the 4 doors. I always wondered if they built any 440 2 door sedans and I was in Myrtle Beach, SC and one...

    How many '64 - '66 Imperial ragtops are left?

    When I made my deal with Fran I told him that I wanted cash when I got there. After we had the tour of his shop we went into the house. The one room where we went had a shelf all around the room with Jim Beam collector bottles. He then gave me a check.... Problem was I needed the cash to get...

    How many '64 - '66 Imperial ragtops are left?

    Yes, Fran bought my '65. I would love to know where it is now and if he or anybody else ever restored it. VIN is Y253284392. I have a copy of the title and the best part is it's listed as an "Imperial" not a Chrysler Imperial.
