Interest in '74 Imperial parts?

More. The bumper filler pieces look to be pretty good, as do the rear side markers.

And what color is the interior? Condition of the dash?

Red cloth. Thoroughly roached and mildewed.

How does the windshield look? Does anyone know if a '74 Imperial Windshield would work on a '77 New Yorker?
Thanks,

Broken out.

Hi Patrick, I have no real need, but I'll raise the stakes by posting vs PM.

Please don't let the rear go to the boneyard if the rotors look half decent. Parked under a tree leaves lots of negative possibilities, but rotors, then park brake shoes, then park brake cables, then the caliper mounts (not sought after to my knowledge). The rear itself, once striped that far is a basic Formal 9 1/4 (I've not seen any 8 3/4, but they're said to exist).

Master cylinder, booster, and combination block would be another package sale.

A few of us got into a minor bidding battle over a 74 backlite with plug and all trim.

The bumpers are mine, if we come to a price... 74 is one year only and not so easy to find. I have no idea how I'd get it here at the moment, so I won't feel too bad if somebody else has to have it... if in good shape, I'd go for all of the bumper components, but if I had to cut the weight down to something I could reasonably as someone to ship, I'd just go after the front bright outer, which is the 74 only piece that shows.

Rear side markers are somewhat sought after, but often confused for the earlier ones. The lenses have the 71 date, but the rest of the housing is curved differently. I have a strange desire to get the sheet metal stamped openings if the 1/4s are rotten, but wouldn't kill good panels for them.

If the 1/4's are truly good, the pockets in the trunk are sound and many Formals need them.

The dash pad is unique and somebody wants it if good. They just don't want to pay a lot...:lol:

I'd put a bid on the steering wheel too. If in good shape, its worth more then the engine. If not, I'm willing to collect a core for future use.

You already know about Formal switches, and probably everything else I mentioned. When you collect it, spray her down good and get us some pictures please. Interior pieces, pot metal and sheet metal need pics for folks to get excited.

GLWS, contact me when you are ready to start into her. I might be a player for all the stuff I mentioned, but you'd have to sit on it a while before I could pull the trigger. The front bumper cover I really want, even as a core for rechroming.

Rear is all there. Condition unknown. Interior is crap all around. Nice bumpers. Rear sidemarkers Nice. Quarters and skirts are nice, too.


I suppose it would be silly to ask what color the Imperial is? Of course the steering wheel is probably cracked in 2 or 3 places and what condition the dash is in and the trim?

Dash and steering wheel cracked. Red cloth. Pretty roached and mildewed.
 
More. Only visible hole is the PS C-pillar, which is fist-sized, next to the window plug. DS shown, pretty holey under that vinyl.

Actually, yes on the power vent windows. Note in the pic of the PS front door, there are two switches there. One for the window and another for the vent. No manual crank for a manually-operated vent window anywhere.

uh, no, not power vent.
1 switch is for power window and 1 for power door lock.
there is no crank on the door for the vent.
there is a lever on the vent itself.

The car, minus the 440 and trans, has been sold as a whole. The buyer is building/restoring a '76 NYB, and is wanting to convert his car to 4-wheel discs, plus there is a LOT of good bits on the car he wants, to include the bumpers.
