Well, I hate to say it, but I’ve come to the hard decision that I need to free up some money for more important things so I need to sell the 62. I just put it up on eBay without a reserve if anyone’s interested. 1962 Chrysler Imperial LeBaron | eBay

Right? Makes me all the more annoyed that someone took a grinder to large portions of it for no apparent reason.

Now that I have the car sanded down to what is left of the original factory paint, (with the exception of some of the primer that I have found is just covering bare metal,) I decided to break out the wheel, and some high cut compound for no other reason then to see if it’ll take a shine.

So I was in the mood to torture myself and decided to wet sand the rattle can black paint off the car to see what I'd find underneath, for better or worse. Unfortunately whoever decided to start the restoration process (if you want to call it that) got pretty happy with the sandpaper and ground...

Good to know, thanks! (now if I could just find some!)

Hey guys, I know the rood shape is a little different from 60 to 61-63, but I was looking at the reveal line on the 62 Lebaron that i have and it begs the question- would the steel insert and chrome trim form a 60 LeBaron, fit a 62? (I know it's not product correct, but just curious) !960...

Thanks for the replies guys. I'm going to pick it up tomorrow. If anyone has leads on parts or 61-3's that are getting parting out (besides Murray, who's got some great stuff, but is a bit expensive for my tastes) let me know! It's pretty complete, but I'm sure there are a few odds and ends that...

True, though, I'd venture that Lebarons were typically a bit more conservative when it came to color. I don't doubt that there were a few like mine that were ordered in brighter hues, but the majority that I've ever seen (at least from 60-63) seem to be black white or blue. Obviously, there are...

Thanks! It looks to have every option box checked except the flite sweep decklid. It's got tinted glass, power windows, vents, locks, and 6 way front seat, auto dimmer, autopilot, remote mirror, touch tuner radio, rear defog, and (i believe) a sure grip rear, but I need to double-check on that.

Just posted a similar post on the online Imperial club forum, so don't beat me up for seeking out knowledge in multiple places! :) I just saved a 62 Imperial Lebaron from becoming an engine donor for a B body, and am finding it to be a really interesting car. I went to look at it outside at...

soooo, it's been a minute. She's finally in paint, and I've started the assembly process. Anyone know where i can score some clips for the body side moldings? I seem to have lost more then a few and no one that i know of re-pops em... Some updates of the car:

Right on, thanks for the Info guys. I will strip as much as I can save from the car next time i hit that yard, and put up a post with all of it for whoever's interested. :)

Right on, thanks for the info. I'll probabaly grab it, just to save it from the crusher if I can buy it cheap enough, along with the dash as some other odds and ends. Here are some pics. (it's rougher than it looks. 95% of the chrome is either bent, broken, or pitted pretty bad) Though i still...

Hey guys, I have an opportunity to grab a factory swiveling seat out of a 59 Imperial 4dr in a local yard here in MI. Wondering if: A: It'd be worth the trouble of trying to exhume that heavy beast. I don't have a 59, nor do i plan to any time soon, but is there a market for a piece like...

lol, that was taken before the weather turned to poop. It's inside now, but i'm still playing catch up with uploading all the photos

Busted out the sand blaster, and hit some of the rougher pitting and the lower half of the car. The good thing was that were wasn't many surprises. A few areas were weak, but nothing bad. We'll be metal finishing everything and leading so there'll be less potential problems later. :) Untitled...

Thanks! As to the off-topic concerns about the tow vehicle, lets keep this thread on track. I want to share my adventure with my land yacht, but if this thread is just going to take a turn into bickering about the politics of Chrysler, I'll just stop posting. I am a designer for Jeep...

Right on, thanks! I totally forgot about Steele. They have it, along with some other rubber stuff that i'll be needing like the roof rail stripping and those hood bumper things that seem to always be brittle.

Right on. Gonna pull the glass. Anyone know if there is replacement rubber available for these and where I can get it?
