    What Lower Radiator Hose do Forum Members Use for 1971 Imperial Lebarons?

    Well, after a couple days of searching it appears none of the options for a molded hose has yielded results - all the Gates and other options have failed to yield the proper hose - like they have all been gone for some time now. I did find one of the Gates 20623 hoses but the seller wanted a...

    What Lower Radiator Hose do Forum Members Use for 1971 Imperial Lebarons?

    Thanks folks for all the comments. It looks like I will go with the @ceebuddy and @Imperial Pete recommendations based on results with the latter's 1971 Imperial with sunroof that is beautifully restored to what looks to me like better than new. I was only able to find the Gates 20623 from...

    What Lower Radiator Hose do Forum Members Use for 1971 Imperial Lebarons?

    I have not been able to find a molded lower radiator hose that actually fits on my 1971 Imperials from any source - many are claimed to fit my cars but none actually works. The ones I have tried will either interfere with the power steering pump or block the oil filter installation. Any...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    Also, I have asked George to send me the first two reproductions that I needed so I can show the final product by itself and also one of them mounted to one of my two cars before I finalize the number of lenses that he would need to make. So if the prices have deterred anyone from buying the...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    That certainly makes sense to me and if any other orders can be bundled, please let me know as anything that makes this shipping effort much easier would help all of us and George.

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    One other thought is to not order more than 3 of them at a time given the price reduction and if you get the them in a timely manner then go ahead and order more if you need more than three. This situation is what it is so don't make any gambles if you can't afford to lose the funds. You know...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    After helping him a great deal with getting a title for a couple of Formal wagons he was going to ship to Australia and other help in getting some NOS parts for him and sending them to him in Australia as well plus having a major stroke almost 2 years ago he has been very helpful to me in return...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    I had a long discussion with George on the cost of each lens yesterday and his input was that he made the molds for the backup lenses using very high quality silicone that is quite expensive and also only used the highest quality resins to make the plastic lens that he has to import from the...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    OK guys, I will see how many he is capable of making and get back to you in this thread when I know more. He may want to send the first one to me to test fit it since he doesn't have one of these cars over there. He used the best ones I had and also some from a friend of mine in Wisconsin to copy.

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    I got in contact with George just today for an update and he is currently getting cortisone shots in his knee to help with the pain and as a result he is working hard to get the first batch of backup lens assemblies done in 2 to 3 weeks now - that is really good news. This has been a long haul...

    Does Anyone Have an NOS or Really Good Backup Light Assembly for a 1972-3 Imperial

    I last received an update from George Laurie on this project at the end of January and he told me his doctors told him he needs a knee replacement, but unfortunately he can't afford one and in Australia, their healthcare system seems to be even worse than the one we have over here. So I am not...

    1972 Polara Custom

    And it has a complete front valence too it appears. The cornering lights are a real plus on any car to my eyes. I like it and how you are taking it to the next level. Enjoy it fully!

    1973 Newport/ New Yorker blueprints

    I started employment with Chrysler Corporation in 1969 in their headquarters in Highland Park, Michigan. What I found unusual was that the engineering center was on one side of campus while the styling/design center was on the other side and there was a big wide gap between the two centers of...

    My unexpected Hurst 300 Find

    That has got to be one of the best examples left - you know when a car has been well maintained when even the door pulls are still in good condition without the usual cracks. How many miles are on that beauty? Great find indeed.............................

    1973 New Yorker

    There are differences between the blocks, notably in the valley pan area and there is a stamping on the front of the engine that tells which engine it is. What I have described is my experience between the 383s and the 440s, so maybe with the 400s, things might have changed some.

    1973 New Yorker

    If your car is all original, your data plate shows you have an R23 radio which is an am/fm search tune, so with that radio you might have a single rear speaker - (my code description isn't really clear on the R31 with your radio, so my guess is you have a single rear speaker - If you had an R11...

    1973 Dodge Polara Spring Special Vinyl Top

    I hear what you say Dave but even your avatar car at least looks like it has one. Good choice! I prefer cars that have both style and a touch of elegance/class added to them. Some folks like Polara's best while I am one who prefers the Monacos. There is no right or wrong answer in terms of...
