    Ignition cylinder removal / replacement 1971 Imperial

    The tilt/telescopic column that Chrysler used was made by General Motors. This video of replacing the ignition cylinder on a 1975 Cadillac should be pretty close to what you need to know. This guy doesn't have a lock plate depressor tool, so he uses a little trick with the steering wheel...

    Ignition cylinder removal / replacement 1971 Imperial

    We will need to know if you have a standard column or a tilt/telescopic. Cylinder replacement is different between the two. Jeff

    I finally bought an Imperial

    Very, Very nice, and yes it is classified as a C body. The C body designation ran from 1965 thru 1978. Jeff

    1969 Imperial progress thread

    We got a quote of $400 about a week ago. I'm hoping that they can stick to it considering how fast diesel prices are going up. I won't know the actual cost until the company that I work for receives the bill. We get a bit of a discount since we ship things on a regular basis. The shipping...

    Correct. I literally closed the door on the pallet and locked it. Jeff

    1969 Imperial progress thread

    Thanks! I spent half a year doing line haul work for a Pennsylvania based LTL company, and having seen those guys in action on the docks, I know you have to expect that your freight is going get rough treatment going in and out of the trailers. Jeff

    1969 Imperial progress thread

    I agree. It would have been a nice looking car when it was new. That wasn't a common color combo on Chrysler products in that time frame. It didn't have much in the way of options. Probably just air conditioning, tinted glass and an AM radio. It was a bench seat car with no vinyl top. I...

    1969 Imperial progress thread

    A replacement door is on the way. Off of a 1969 300, it's still sporting the factory painted triple stripe. There's a Chrysler door striker attached to the metal plate to secure the back end to the pallet. I think I overdid it on the number of bolts on the hinges. I forgot to take shots of...

    I have some coupe doors, but I'm not sure of the condition. I will take a look at them as soon as I can get a chance. Jeff

    How does the rear window trim molding attach to the rear window of a 1964 Imperial Crown Coupe?

    Can you post some close up photos of the clips?

    Upgrading 1964 Imperial wiper blades

    Not sure if Imperial uses 16" or 18", but they are both being reproduced now. https://www.oerparts.com/product/17528d.html https://www.oerparts.com/product/f309.html For only $13, I would give the repops a try before spending time trying to modify the wipers. If they don't work well or...

    Rear drums for 5×5.5 bolt pattern

    It's worth a try. I would just order one to see how it fits. You're not risking a whole lot of money, looks like a bit over 50 bucks with shipping. Jeff

    Chrysler's used the same set up in 1965, then it was eliminated for 1966. Dodge may have used it too, but I know that Plymouth did not. Jeff

    1973 Imperial brake booster finish

    Bottom photo is from a very original car that's only had some maintenance related work done under the hood. The top car has had quite a bit of detailing done to the engine bay, but I don't think anything was actually removed from the firewall and fenders. Some things have been repainted and...

    1973 Imperial brake booster finish

    Looks like it should be the gold zinc. Here's two different super-clean cars that were on ebay some years back. Jeff

    1968 Imperial stainless trim

    It will be a mix of plastic clips and nuts. Plastic clips where the backside is not accessible. Nuts are usually found towards the backs of the quarters, both ends of each door trim piece, and the front fenders. You usually have to remove the inner fender extension to access the nuts for the...

    1964 Imperial carpet

    I checked the website, and ACC's listing for the '65 Imperial is incorrect. As Imperialist67 stated, they are mistakenly lumping it in with the 1965 to '68 C bodies. The carpet they list for a '65 won't be anywhere close to correct for your car. You'll have to make your own or have an...

    1973 Imperial Air cleaner, exhaust manifolds.

    Although the Imperials have a longer wheelbase, the engine is in the same location in relation to the body as the 124" Chryslers. The front suspension on the Imperials is 3 inches further forward measured off the engine. Therefore the difference in wheelbase has no effect on the exhaust system...

    1973 Imperial Air cleaner, exhaust manifolds.

    Any modification that used existing production parts is a possibility, especially if the person ordering the car had connections to a municipality that ordered their cars from the same dealer. For example a police officer or fire personnel. Jeff
