Wow Paul, Awesome job on that wagon. You really brought that car back into the land of the living in no time flat. It's just like I told you in person when you came to Philly. You have resources, skills, determination and abilities that I don't. Thanks for saving these cars and posting your...

Paul ===>> if it's burning oil, use the Lucas I gave you. It should help a lot. OTOH, 1 qt for 550 miles on the highway with a 200,000 mile motor is not unexpected. The Corolla I am transition to burned 1 qt on a 350 mile trip to Cuba NY, on a 130K motor. I think that sucks. This 1.8L motor is...

Over priced. Limousines even with low miles are hard to sell and often go for $3-$5000. At $130K, I'll bet $100 no takers. If I ever had a different Imperial, I would love a '67. I like Jay Leno's 67 Coupe.

The 12-16mpg range is right on the money. If the thermoquad is in good shape, a steady 70 mph should get you over 15. In 2005, My friend Jerry Martin helped me do my timing chain. After that was done, he took apart my thermoquad, replaced the floats and fiddled with it. He loved t quads and was...

Ha! I like the American flags as if it's a limousine. If you look on the www.imperialclub.com/events, one year someone showed up with a 68 Imperial with the flags and a campaign sticker. The car is almost as big as a limo, as it's 19.5 feet long. 1980's lincoln town car limos were 20 feet.

I guessed they would be ready for pick up about 2 to 215pm. When he texted me that he was ready at 1:35 and his flight was early I was like Oh Boy!! I was just getting on the road then. As we speak, Paul and John are on their way back home......

Hmmm only 5000? I've weighed it at the dragstrip and it's always around 5300lbs.

Well today's the day. Paul is a SUPER nice guy and I'm so glad he's getting the old girl. I got a tire for it, it has 4 good ones and the spare, it's running good, even made it through the snowstorms with no problems. Please don't get mad at me folks, for not having an Imperial or C body...

DON-- I have lots of short videos up. I wish all people who had Imperials would have their own youtube channel. Love to see videos of yours.

No thats not it. That's plastic, like the one on my old 76 Cutlass. The one for the Imperial is fiberglass. I don't see a part number. I could fix mine with fiberglass resin and then paint it black, but if you can find one in the yard you go to, would be easier.

Paul wanted this pic I have of my youtube avatar of the Imperial with snow on it. Damn snowstorms......

My next goal is to get video of it in motion. I'll need help for that.

Uploading more videos!

Yes, I uploaded two videos today. I was just going through paperwork looking for the title. Haven't located it yet but I found a build sheet and many of my repair records from GA. Tires, exhaust work, motor mounts, etc. I also found a print out from Lincoln Nebraska of the car's weight on a...

If anyone wants to see my youtube channel.... imperial73
