    Post-Carlisle Road Hazard vs Penny the 72 Imperial

    No no Waze. I’m sure I can fix it with a a wood block and a mallet. The moldings were fixed at the next gas stop. No paint damage thankfully.

    Correct color for engine accessories (1967 small block)

    This is my 1973 360, a 1967 will be very similar.

    They should be regular thread. Pictures would be very helpful.

    What did you score at Carlisle

    Literature is super interesting and undervalued. The wealth of knowledge and resources in parts books and other uncommon items should be preserved. Since I have two 72 Imperials and a 72 Valiant this is very helpful especially since my green Imperial will be getting a full concours restoration...

    What did you score at Carlisle

    What cool stuff did you get at the swap meet this year? I scored a very nice 1972 parts catalog. This thing is worth every penny.

    1973 Fury Special - as rare as hen's teeth

    Less than 10,000 is rare, and anything less than that is just more so, at least to me.

    1973 Fury Special - as rare as hen's teeth

    I feel like rare is subjective. However rare is not always desirable.

    Post-Carlisle Road Hazard vs Penny the 72 Imperial

    So driving up US322 near Lewistown a huge metal chair was in the right lane. I dodged a direct hit but I could not move over with the impatient PA drivers blocking the left lane. I’m disappointed that I hit the chair but glad I was not in a modern car, any modern car would have been disabled...

    Swap out your carrier bearings and races. Use MotorCraft 80W90 and Friction Modifier. Ford actually makes good consumables.

    Languishing 300 Letter cars.

    I do me. In my mind a large car is a great practical car. Anything like a Polara, Fury, Imperial and all others are cars from an era when many people could only afford one car. Transportation was partly that size=quality, and you needed a car to tow/haul and take to work, vacation, etc. A car...

    Got in super late because of the master cylinder issue. She does great on the open road but she’s a little sputtery when idling.

    Nice, I’m a little behind you. Lunch in Dayton then I need to swap a master cylinder.

    Been having brake issues. Just outside of Indy. Pedal feels like crap, no leaks, fluid level ok.

    Carlisle 2024

    I plan to leave early in the morning on Thursday and hope to be in Carlisle about 5pm or so with stops for gas. I will likely be using country roads near the turnpike until the PA border then I will play it by ear.

    I have a confession to make…

    Wayne at BCM and TurboStart unfortunately failed to come through with the restoration battery. Other than that just a few items than need attention but it looks decent. I am finding that some 72s use standard ignition wires. At least they are new, and say Chrysler Corporation on them with a...
