Looking for some input here, I’ve been going around in circles with this issue, my ‘65 Imperial’s left rear drum keeps overheating and destroying the brake shoes, I have rebuilt the booster, changed wheel cylinders from different brands multiple times, tried two different brands of brake shoes...

My ‘65 Imperial rag joint/steering coupler just recently went out leading to the steering binding and some popping noises. I’ve been looking for a couple online and saw several, I did find one from Lares (part number 3575303) on classic industries as well as another on Mopar mall. The Mopar mall...

Looking to see what anybody would recommend as a replacement starter for my ‘65 Imperial? Was wondering mostly about those performance/mini starters such as the powermaster or other brands.

Well I am back again with another problem on my ‘65 Imperial. I recently had to switch to a one piece driveshaft after having a hard time finding the necessary parts to repair my two piece driveshaft which was in pretty bad shape. Even the driveshaft shop that I took it to, which is very well...

I had the engine rebuilt on my ‘65 Imperial and my balancer was in pretty bad shape. I got myself a new balancer, but was wondering if it was painted the engine color (turquoise) or black? The reason I am asking this is, the balancer that I took off my car is black and it definitely looked like...

I am having the seals and gaskets replaced on the transmission for my ‘65 Imperial. I bought two seal/gasket kits but none of the output shaft seals match the one that the mechanic pulled of the car. I know the car has the 727 torqueflite but does anyone know the exact transmission number or...

I have read a couple posts on here but wanted to see the actual experience of those who swapped their two piece driveshaft to a one piece?

I need a bit of info as I this is my first classic Mopar and my experience has mostly been with GM products. My ‘65 Imperial has what appears to be two sending units on the water pump assembly. I am sure one of them would be the water temperature sending unit, but what would the other one be...

Took the driveshaft out of my ‘65 Imperial to a driveshaft shop as the center assembly needed to be replaced. I just recently acquired this car and it was’t stored the best or treated the best way. The car has a two piece driveshaft, but unfortunately the cv joint on the driveshaft is in rough...

The door locks on my ‘65 Imperial don’t work when I try to lock the car from the outside. The key seems to have trouble actually going into the locks. I can’t seem to find a specific set for a ‘65 Imperial. My question is would a c body ignition and door lock set work? Or does it have to be...

Still trying to tackle a few issues on my ‘65 Imperial so I appreciate everyone’s inputs on everything so far. My imperial had been neglected by the previous owner for many years, and the car is actually missing the idler arm bushing. I have nothing to reference it with when it comes to the...

Anyone on here running DOT 5 brake fluid on their Imperial? I am getting the entire brake system redone on my ‘65 Imperial and thought of using DOT 5. Just wanted to see if other Imperial owners have done the same thing.

Getting my engine rebuilt right now at a machine shop, but for some reason the machine shop is insisting that they paint the engine, they obviously do not have the correct Chrysler turquoise engine paint. Apparently, they say that if they put the engine back together and I were to have someone...

My ‘65 Imperial has the 413, and wanted to hear from people on here on what spark plugs have worked best for them. Copper? Platinum? Or a certain brand?

I am new to the classic Mopar world with my recently acquired ‘65 Imperial and I am looking for some input from other c body and Mopar owners in general. The car had been sitting for 5 years or so until I purchased it a few months ago. Prior to those 5 years I used to see this car running and...

My booster needs to be rebuilt, but the place that I am sending it to needs the brake pedal rod. Has anyone removed their brake pedal rod before?

On my recently acquired ‘65 Imperial, the heater core is bypassed, but I was wondering what the implications are for this car? I live in Texas, so it’s not really cold down here for the most part, but I am trying to see if this could negatively affect the car’s cooling? For those that have...

I have a ‘65 Imperial with the 413 in Chrysler turquoise. I have seen that POR-15 does have the same color that can be brushed on or can be sprayed with a spray gun. On the other hand, I found the duplicolor rattle can. What would you recommend for the best finish and what would last the...

I am new to the world of Imperials and Mopar in general, I had initially thought that the a ‘65 Imperial like mine would fall into the C Body group, but obviously they were their own platform. So does anyone know in what group they fall into if they aren’t considered C-bodies?

I can’t seem to find new sway bar links for my ‘65 Imperial. The only ones available are for ‘67 and later. Anyone have an idea?
