I joined quite a while back, thanks.

Wow. I’m really disappointed by the way this turned out. I was hoping I’d get more pics by the end. I did learn that I’m really glad/sorry that I don’t have any storage space at my house. I’d probably own a two-tone NYB right about now.

For whatever it’s worth, Motor Trend got 14.9 mpg in a ‘75 Imperial. Half an MPG better than a Cadillac and 1 more than a Lincoln. http://www.imperialclub.com/Articles/75MT/Page07-reg.jpg

Interesting it made a journey of 140 miles to a town with such a similar name. I thought I might be able to stop by and talk to the owner but it’s been storming here so we probably won’t go out until we head out for the airport.

Red centers in the road wheels, too.

Anyone here from Kingston, TN? Sorry for the bad photo but I made my wife take it as we drove past.

I think at that time, Chrysler was in a pretty rough place. The C-bodies were likely seen as a legacy of a low point, and not yet "Historical."

Remember 440Sled? He juiced his front end in that 67 New Yorker and then did the lace top. He's on board (but has largely moved to the Lay it Low forum).

I don't think there's any call for hurling personal insults. I like low-riders. I would absolutely want one and to be seen in one. Someone in England who feels the same is not, by definition a moron or a tool.

Years ago, anything after '65 needed to be smogged in California. My Dart was a rolling smog violation. I used to take it to my VW mechanic (of all people) and leave $200 under the floor mat. He'd take it somewhere where it would sit for a day or so until another car came in, that car would be...

Two separate things here. The first is single-piston calipers versus 2+ pistons. In a single-piston caliper, the caliper slides as the single-side piston pushes the pad against the rotor. It's cheaper, but the sliding mechanism has friction, and they don't work as well. Having a piston on each...

Before you leave us all together, can you tell us what mufflers you used? :)

Dip it!

Which is the opposite reason for why I wanted the Mexican-market Coronet that was for sale here last year: I would have loved to hear people try and insist that it wasn't factory.

I'm not generally a fan of vinyl tops, but I like the idea of gator grain in your case. If you're keeping it visually stock but changing some engine and suspension stuff that won't show, that can be the visual cue that gives it away as a sleeper. Someone who knows Mopars and sees it run hard...

With more symmetrical windows it wouldn't be a Shaggin' Wagon! :)

Nice car, except for the wheels. Okay, I kid. Nice car, and I didn't know that wasn't a factory option, either. Looks fantastic. I especially love the Imperial crest in the leading edge of the turn signals. Didn't know they had those. Don't know why you made the comment in the other...

I don't get it. It's a Formal because it's a creepy pic taken by some guy who is peeping on a young girl? I think it's more like why Chrysler lost market share.

Nothing wrong with four doors. If you're worried about the odometer on a car 1500 miles away, that's kind of a big deal if money is tight. I'd get your truck sold, and walk in to the Newport's driveway with 30 hundred dollar bills.

Man, I wish those wheels were 5 on 5.
