    6.4 Hemi swap into 65 Fury

    I will get hold of Dr. Diff and see what he recommends for the rear ends I have. Thank you.

    largest reasonable tires for 68 Newport

    Tire size; I have had 255/60/15s and 255/70/15s on 15" x 7" factory steel rims on a 1967 Polara and on a 1969 Imperial. You could probably go a little wider but it is really hard to get them on and off. You would really have to try your specific car and wheel combo but that is about as big as...

    6.4 Hemi swap into 65 Fury

    Hi Awesome work: I am getting on this thread late but hopefully not too late. I have just started a 2009 6.1L/NAG1 install in a 1967 Polara 500 convertible. Reading your write up is inspiring but also frightening. Nothing ventured, nothing gained!! Where did you get your drive shaft...

    Just worked a deal on this 69 Newport factory four color car.

    About a year ago or so there was a 1970 Newport and a 1971 Newport at the local Pull and Save. One of the cars had the bumper guard which I grabbed and since have sold to someone who needed it. I also have the grill from each car and both are in very good condition. If you are interested I could...

    New Member with a 1967 Polara 500 Convertible

    I do like the appearance of the chrome baby moon hubcaps but the wheels that were on the car were really cheap as in poorly made. I also prefer hubcentric wheels where the hole in the middle of the wheel fits exactly onto the spindle or axle. This helps center the wheel and in my opinion just...

    Another one with painted bumpers

    I am getting my 67 Polara Convertible painted and it will have painted bumpers. I do not like the wide white wall tires on this car and the exhaust pipes stick out about 6" too far. Also do not like the roof color.

    New Member with a 1967 Polara 500 Convertible

    Very nice. I bought a 67 Polara 500 Convertible 383 4 bbl four years ago for $4000. Mine was probably not in as nice condition as yours. I had been looking for a C-body convertible for a while and this was the only one anywhere near here. I used to live in St. Louis and in the late 90s...

    The story of my 1966 Polara, "El Cacharro", in several posts

    The 15" steel wheels from the early 80s full size Dodge and Plymouth cars will fit your car just fine. Then at least you are buying 15" tires. There were some 15" hubcaps available for the mid 60s cars with disc brakes but otherwise getting period correct hubcaps is tough. The "dog dish"...

    Show us your Imperials!

    Here is a link to the Imperial Club web site where there is a write up about one of my Imperials. It is a 64 Crown 4 door which was owned by Snapple/ Dr. Pepper. That is where I actually purchased the car for $900 in 2011. One of about 24000 Imperials built that year. I also own a 69...

    '67 Imperial wheelcover resto

    Just to be a stickler, the 1966 wheel covers look like the 1967-1969 wheel covers but they are different to allow for the cooling of the front drum brakes. I am pretty sure that they will not interchange. Beautiful job on the wheels. Beautiful car. I need to do something like that for my 69...

    1967 chrysler new yorker 2 door

    This has been an interesting thread. It looks like it could be a nice car but realistically in much better condition than the car is and with a title it may not be worth more that $2000. It is a C-Body after all. I love them and own three if you include a 64 Imperial (I know) but they are not...

    68 Fury 3 questions

    Hi: Nice car. It looks like you have a disc brake master cylinder which would mean Budd brakes. They are great brakes BUT get ready to spend some money if you need to do anything with the front brakes or the front end. These cars a re a labor of love and the more of that labor that you can do...

    radiator shrouds:

    My 67 Polara 500 Convertible 383 4 bbl also did not come with a fan shroud. The original radiator was a 22" version. I was lucky enough to find a 67 Fury at the junk yard with an original fan shroud for a 26" radiator and it was plastic. Cost about $7.50!!!! A quote to repair the leaking OEM...

    Need help deciding!

    Here is a link to some photos of my 64 Crown 4 door: http://www.imperialclub.com/Yr/1964/FJoslin/index.htm The car was owned by Snapple who painted it the bright yellow color and covered it with graphics. I would not have chosen this color but do like it now.

    1969 Imperial Guru question.

    Very nice car. I too have a 69 LeBaron Coupe. Was your car ordered with a tow package? Mine was. There would be a honkin big transmission cooler in front of the AC cooler almost as big as the radiator. I did not think these cars came with an electronic ignition. Electronic voltage regulator...

    Need help deciding!

    Here is a link to my 1964 Crown. It was owned by Snapple and they painted the bright yellow color that you see. I would not have chosen that color but like it now. The car was originally "alabaster" which is a dirty white. I think that I like the yellow more...

    67 fury convertible window help

    I am pretty sure that the B-Body convertibles share the same rear quarter glass as the C-Body convertibles. I have a 67 Polara 500 Convertible but luckily the glass is all good
