    Loving life! 2 years since my 67 Imperial GM full-size Disc Brake upgrade!

    Does the Mopar Imperial rim clear? Or are you using GM rims...very interested in the shim and caliper bracket specs so that I can duplicate for my 68.

    My new `67 Imperial Crown Coupe!

    How much did the block need ? 30 over?

    If you could have

    I love all Imperials stylistically, so it's very hard for me to pick a particular year but I will throw out some years I really super like? 33, 49, 51, 54, 55, 59, 60, 65, 68, 69, 73, 74, 75, 81, 90 So it's really down to colours and options: My preferences: I like Black, Blue, Brown, Green...

    Your thoughts on paint color change 1966 Imperial convertible

    I'm in favour of making the car what you want it to be. Life's too short to put up with compromises. That said, I go through a calculus when changing colours: The Shriner aspect has already been discussed...you'll lose some resale value changing it. That said I am changing my 68 Imperial...

    NOT MINE ‘68 NYer Limo NOT MINE HIBID

    It's a New Yorker grille for sure, rear is Newport. The Ford mirrors are the other cosmetic flaw to the NY touches.

    For Sale 1974-78 C-Body Manual Right Hand Outside Mirror

    This mirror is Dodge or Plymouth application, not Chrysler/ Imperial. Chrysler/ Imperial bases are not flat like this one, but curved to fit the body line of the door.

    Convertible Rear Speaker Grills ?

    The Left hand one looks like it is for a Slab...looks the same as my 68 Imperial, except its, of course a different emblem bolted on.

    Auto temp 2 :(

    By the way when the system is functioning, it's quite impressive. Example, One cool morning I had the car (77 T&C) set to "Vent" and the temp swing arm all the way to the left or 65 and noted that there was no fan action...I immediately panicked and thought that the Autotemp II gremlins had...

    1978 New Yorker build thread

    About the Imperial vs NY masters and boosters. Boosters are interchangeable. The 50-50 Imperial master is required for the 4 wheel discs if you still have them...you risk running out of fluid to the rear calipers otherwise.

    Auto temp 2 :(

    To be clear: AutoTemp II version 1.0 with the under hood servo/ coolant combo assembly ended in 73; AutoTemp II next gen, 2.0 whatever was 74-78, included separation of the leaky underhood assembly by putting the servo inside the car on the heater box. For years (literally) I struggled with...

    Goldie will get her orginal heads reconditioned.

    My thoughts: I'm an "all iron" guy so that I can avoid the problems associated with dissimilar metals. I'm reconditioning the 906s on my engine.

    Finally got my vacation car, only took 11 years

    Congratulations! I love the dark mahogany colour on these.

    Unsure of how to move forward with 81 EFI Imperial

    A 7.25 will live forever behind an 80's 318 2 bbl. It's only if you add performance that you need to swap it out. Sounds like this will be a 5th Ave kind of drivetrain...stone axe reliable but not exciting in the stop light derby.
