    NOT MINE '65 Ghia Limo.

    Restoration of this car would be a whole lot closer to $200k than $100.

    NOT MINE '65 Ghia Limo.

    Given the condition of this car two things are apparent. 1. It needs EVERYTHING. 2. The decimal in the asking price needs to move one to the left.

    Floor Mat Manufacturers

    Most carpet set suppliers will sell you extra carpet unmolded and unfinished. Buy some of that, cut it to size and get the edges serged.

    Leaf spring differences for 68 C-bodies and maybe other years. Soft to Firm.

    Not necessarily. The part number you find in the parts catalogue is the SERVICE part number. The part number that is stamped on the spring itself is the PRODUCTION part number, either for the entire leaf spring assembly, or for the individual spring itself. Service part numbers and...

    Finding you cars history

    The fire myth refuses to die. In addition to IBM cards, Chrysler Historical also has (or had) access to thousands of shipping invoices stored in a vast seat of four drawer file cabinets. The shipping invoices are stored by the SO number and NOT the car's VIN. I could go on and on about what...

    Statistics

    Information on how many of a particular body style, according to the engineering model code exist. Chrysler Historical has that information. Not sure if they bother to look it up for people. Information on options installed on cars is much more spotty. Depends on the model year and the...

    1978-New Wiper Cam Bushing

    My step-son is a draftsman among other talents and took a NOS set of the pieces and re-engineered them and printed them out of better material on one of his 3D printers. I've had them in my car since last summer but haven't had enough experience with them in the rain to know that they're bullet...

    Interior Fabric

    SMS rarely if ever gets it wrong on what the fabric is supposed to be, so I'd vote for going with them. As for the carpet, I'd also go with what SMS recommends. Chrysler didn't use plush carpet when your car was built.

    Dumb question: removing wheel covers, and right-hand lugs?

    Chrysler was a long time hold out on the use of "handed" thread wheel fasteners on the cars they produce. It all has to do with physics. As the wheels turn, the force of the wheel spinning acts on the wheel nuts to force the top of the wheel nut towards the front of the car, effectively adding...

    What is this called?

    That's the "B" Pillar trim. Start with Murray Park in Ohio.

    Josh Gates and the Raiders of the Lost Production Records

    Again, not exactly true. As long as there are current main-frame computers that use giant rolls of tape, a program can be written for them to read any previous generation tape. That's how I found out there were 13 ' 70 JS27R

    Josh Gates and the Raiders of the Lost Production Records

    The main flaw in that line of thinking is that you're assuming they separate records by platform. The SG30/31 reports do break down installation rates of options based on sales, but all cars for a particular model year are included in the report. So for someone to go through each report and...

    Josh Gates and the Raiders of the Lost Production Records

    I'm about 100% positive they do have (or had) those records and choose not to use them to answer inquiries.

    Pulling rear drum on my 57 Belvedere, which one?

    I bought my puller that looks exactly like this (except without the fancy storage box). Install it. Tighten everything up and wind the center screw in as far as you can. If the drum still won't come off, a good whack on the end of the center screw with a sledge will pop it off and sound like...

    Question about a stuck 326 Dodge engine

    Leaving the plugs out for years has probably done a really good job of seizing the rings to the bores. Years ago I bought a '56 Dodge with a 315 that was seized. (Basically same engine with .050" smaller bores). Two rod bearings had welded themselves to one pin. Some moron had used adhesive...
