@marko @Pete Kaczmarski @mikes2nd Hi Guys; mikes2nd asked for pictures and I finally turned them up.

@Knebel DONORODSW (Dirty Old, Nasty Old, Rusty Old, Deutsche Scheise Wagens) You can tell I was around them for WAY too long!

Mercedes used them: 180, 190, 219, 220S and 220SE. No Diesels. 45 years ago my daily driver was a '58 220S sedan. I got the kit from the Mercedes dealer, took it apart, replaced all the parts including the diaphragm, put it back together and didn't use the tube of lube that was in the kit. When...

When I was running my '68 Custom Suburban as a daily driver back in the day, I was running 235/70/75/78 x 15 all the way around with the stock wheels.

@Pete Kaczmarski I agree, I am 72 and in reasonably good health but you never know. That's also part of the equation and I can't say I am not worried about the money but I've been in the parts business for most of my life and I know a lot of the players. The other issue is that the reason it was...

I may have a chance to “Save” a very derelict ’57 Imperial convertible. No engine, trans, interior or a lot of other stuff. I may also be able to get a ‘65 Imperial Crown 4 door parts car reasonably complete. I am thinking about a total mechanical change out, kind of making it a ’59. Install a...

I've locked myself out of my vehicles too many times. I carry 2 sets of keys with me. One for which ever car I'm driving and one with ALL the car's keys. One morning I got a call from my wife, she locked herself out at work with the engine running! I found the extra key and opened up for her...

To Quote Monty: "And behind door number Three-IT's A BRAND NEW CAR"!

Craig; Thank you for the offer. I am sharing a space with a friend this year.

@mobileparts Craig; Sometimes I need to take the money home. My van let me down half way up the Jersey 'Pike so I took a quick load off the top with the Forester and didn't take in enough to cover the spaces! They give you 'til January 9th. We will see you at Allentown?

I just paid for the flea market spaces today. I am not sure if Max is going or not.

I would use a new one regardless. Once you're in everything gets replaced.

When I worked in Trenton, NJ in the early Seventies these were all over the place. Both the city and the state used them. Both sticks and automatics. And the city police and State Police used the 4 doors. I always wondered if they built any 440 2 door sedans and I was in Myrtle Beach, SC and one...

When I made my deal with Fran I told him that I wanted cash when I got there. After we had the tour of his shop we went into the house. The one room where we went had a shelf all around the room with Jim Beam collector bottles. He then gave me a check.... Problem was I needed the cash to get...

Yes, Fran bought my '65. I would love to know where it is now and if he or anybody else ever restored it. VIN is Y253284392. I have a copy of the title and the best part is it's listed as an "Imperial" not a Chrysler Imperial.

In my mind a Big Block goes where a Big Block was. The 426 Street Wedge was an option for your car. In '66 the 440 was an option. I am thinking things like hoses and exhaust are the things that stand out. Parts manuals are your friend when you want to do something like this. 50 years ago my...

I get to play Corvette owner and Marti report with my Max. 1196 '63 Plymouth Maxes, 234 Sport Fury hardtops, 107 11:1 automatics, 48 black with copper interior and mine is one of 7 exactly alike. And when I say that it's things like non-tinted glass, no seat belts, white walls and wheel covers...

In 1979 I bought a '65 off of a gas station that had done work and not been paid. I flat towed it home with my '65 Crown Coupe! Along with my Coupe it was a daily driver in the summer into the Fall. It was dark green metallic with gold leather. I considered it the bastard of the 633. The only...

@Rusty Muffler I understand your dilemma. I've always been a trans out first then engine out or engine and trans out together. I think with the trans in and engine out there are way too many things to try and line up at one time. If you don't want to drop the trans out, I would mark the...

Like I said, it was 1969, so I might have known back then. I learned early on to replace the converter seal every time the trans comes out. When Max's trans was out my friend said he didn't want to be held up by weird parts issues so I went to Fatsco and ordered all the seals and O rings because...
